Sitting down for 2hrs of humor, fun and brilliant chess from a chess legend
and afterwards watch some gingerGM
I love these videos, you just know it will be a few hours of pure entertainment
These videos were always a highlight of my week and I'm glad they're back. The clock was very kind to you this week!
Same here! Always love a good Williams upload!
Hey Simon wanted to let you know that I really enjoy watching your videos as they are always entertaining and fun and wanted to encourage you to keep posting videos on RUclips because honestly for viewers like me it helps to make it through the week. Cheers!
Yo Simon please keep doing youtube! For all of us by far the most entertaining chess streams. The numbers will get there eventually!
He's been youtubing for 11 years mate
@@TSMC123 toxic optimism :D
@@TSMC123 I know that. I'm asking him to keep going.
It's funny because Bortnyk plays the jobava as white but also the black lion as black lol
The Nikette 😂
My best chess moment of the weeeeeek!!
By far the most entertaining chess youtuber in the world!
"Do not quote me on that." - GingerGM
Love from the USA, Simon. Best of luck on your upcoming chessboxing match, you legend!
Brilliant attack against Bortnyk!!
You always have to play the bravest move. Great quote 👍
This is still the best one man (chess) show on the net! Love it!! 😊
another perfect title Tuesday
1:11:17 winning on time, made my day. Did I see a little moisture in the eyes? Same here. From a fellow ginger, these are the moments! Thank you for sharing m8😊
I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at a chess stream. Excellent games and great entertainment.
I have tried watching bigger streamers but no one ever comes close to the the entertainment and educational value you provide. I wish you had more subscribers. Cheers mate
Players below 1000 elo can't follow Simon's tactics in a blitz game. They would have to replay, pause and think, but they are watching at 125% speed and missing out all fun.
So the audience is limited to about 15-20k.
As much as I absolutely love watching you play TT every week, I really do think you ought to carry a health warning, especially for those with high blood pressure. Watching you play can be riveting and stress inducing in equal measure. Bloody hell, Simon.😂
Great news on the health improvement. And I love your conversational chess for us noobies. I like to listen to your thoughts as you play. It's something you do very well.
The world 200th best player never made good money in any era. The difference is that in 1980 when I started, that 200th player was an IM, the 10th best player in the world was hovering around 2600. The GM title does not mean what is used to.
I’m loving these titled Tuesday video keep ‘em coming!!!
Professional chess feels like professional music. Both areas reward only the very top tier with the lower tiers getting almost nothing.
I normally don't get a long opportunity to watch all at once, so i'm making a second comment now that I've seen more.
Loved watching your game against FM Xakevicius - probably one of the most closed games I've seen.
once again, just want to say thank you for reading comments and for playing the english. Very cool.
These videos are so good. Big fan of your weekly titled Tuesdays 😂
That one time win wow 😳
1:37:00 “That’s the kind of game I’m feeling I want: tickle the balls and strike like a cobra.” - Simon Williams, 2024
I actually posted my earlier tea suggestion BEFORE watching this video. That is INCREDIBLE. Its a bloody matrix Simon. I am not making this up! I have only just watched the bit where you ask for Tea suggestions...
@gingergm - please don't give up youtube! You're the GOAT chess streamer / the best wit in the business
Love a bit of the Chemical Brothers Simon!! As for GM's being entitled to more money etc it's a tough call. Lunatic GM's such as yourself definitly deserve more money, however.
Loving the TT's as always squire, keep 'em coming!
What a topsy turvy week - missing winning moves in your losses but winning a bunch of games on time! Love the content Simon, please don't stop making them!
Tilted Tuesday with Simon to put in my pipe, smoke it, and take the pain away...
Great stuff as always. Really enjoy your Titled Tuesdays.
but the miss on 18:09 commonnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
@55:28 - The knight was almost tripping around the world on acid there, Simon ;) Very well placed :)
A fantastic TT with a lot of excitement as usual. I personally enjoyed the amazing comeback from a totally passive and lost position most of all and screamed out loud for gxf but our mad genious captain Haddock of chess just marched the king up.
Mindblowing heartwrenching stuff.❤
My favourite streamer, brilliant always ☺
My highlight of the week 🎉 cheers Simon!
Best chess commentator. Can you maybe play the polish opening next time in on of your games? ;D
your the funniest chess streamer. amazing
Thanks for a fantastic video
I watched one of these games 3 times! Every day! And I laugh every time
My plan is ... resigning? 😂 Entertaining as always
great to see you in such a good mood 😅
I enjoy watching these videos every week, thank you for posting them. I am also a big fan of your attacking style, and learn a lot from your commentary.
Love your videos, Simon! I watch your Tilted Tuesday every week - no other streamer is so relatable. I cheer your wins and feel the pain of your losses! Love that you just go for stuff too, makes it really fun and interesting. Keep it up!
Put that in your pipe and smoke it son!
Your chess videos are my favorite videos on RUclips. Always great.
Trust your instincts!
Simon!
Thank you for reading my comment and throwing an english on the board! Too bad your opponent transposed it to a queen's gambit.
Cheers!
That was super entertaining I love the openings you played! In your course you give e4 after c6 or e6, but you always chose d4.
Anyway it worked you got your opponent's clocks down more often than ever.
He gives e4 just so you don't have to buy the Killer d4 course in order to be able to play it. Just Simon being nice. :)
First things first: another fantastic bit of content, you can't imagine how refreshing it is compared to the manicured rubbish we are served every day. Secondly - I agree with the point about how hard it is to break through in chess these days. Players really need to make an effort, including streaming and building a fan base, otherwise it's almost impossible
1:53:41 always nice to hear you love the chemical brothers too. Where do I begin ;)
1:53:24 Where do I begin by Chemical Brothers featuring Beth Orton, from 'Dig your own hole'. Great track and album!!!
Also great videos Simon!
Simon, I love seeing you kick serious ass👊... How about becoming a full-fledged e4 player once and for all? 🤔👊
Very entertaining as usual. I own your BlackLion course. Funny that Bortnyk also plays often the Philidor
Great vid again Simon! Lovely as always. If you want to hit that 100k subs, I suggest you improve your singing
The black lion against Bortnyk was looking reallyy nice
18:09 I was screaming for Rxc2 winning lol
Easy move but he had mentally given up. Literally talking about how great Bortnyk is while Bortnyk was blundering the game.
More rollicking good fun! Thank you Simon.
Hi Simon. I think you should try playing while sipping Taiwanese high mountain oolong tea. This is a superb elixir. Your state of mind will be sharper, clearer and more powerful than ever before. That is my gift to you!
2 hours of weekly brilliant entertainment!! What could be better. I always wondered whether Simon would be a Birds opening player as white? Would be Dutch all the way.
Life’s good when see vlog gingergm
Great to see you playing the Botvinnik. I’ve been learning that set up from your course and playing it myself
That was a great Bortnyk game even though the end didn't wotk out.
2:09:04 Is Qe8+ winning here, Rf8 Be6+ Kh7, Qxf8 and perhaps black has a perpetual there
Winter time in Australia I'm onto the Guiness 0.0 Alcohol free cans. It's really good. Recommend.
Do you think you might make a book and video pack on how to win the way you beat laboratorio25? I'm still trying to consolidate the lessons learned into general principles to use in my game.
Instead of studying for an upcoming tournament this weekend I am watching ginger gm to get inspired. There are joys in life you can't get through books. Put that in your pipe...
the best...legend
Sunday morning, I'm waking up.
Can't even focus on my coffee cup.
Don't even know who's bed i'm in.
Where do i start? Where do i begin?
Chemical Brothers circa 1995...or so
@2:08:33 - tumultous?
Play that funky chess art ginger boy 🎶
Great stuff, fella! 🤠
Next titled tuesday can we see a grand prix?
Best of luck on cutting down on booze simon, not an easy task! #ripgchess
Very engaging
Good on ya mate for cutting back on the p1$$...me too, and feeling a lot more purposeful all round. Tuck your chin and keep your shoulder high 👍
The bortnyk game recap is solid gold hahahahaha
That first game at the point you said you had to give your bishop up I was wondering if bd3 would have been more helpful.
Vocalise the imagery
What’s going on Simon-so many wins on time in recent weeks!
Great content
I like Simon playing the English Opening.
King of tactics
always a pleasure!
Can we have happy hardcore Saturdays chess sessions Simon?
49:50 knocked out who?
I mean I guess it depends really. GM is an accomplishment and I have heard that besides for the skill acquisition becoming a GM is a good way to become broke or at least stay there. That is a tricky question, ig imo I could see it reasonable for commendation to GM's for their participation.
Every time I hear the word "ending" from Simon I get the sweat. Yes I know, Grandmasters can do all parts of the game blah blah. And then theres Simon Williams. Attack attack attack.
Fellow ginger and big fan here. I play the English and in previous videos you recommended an immediate e4 against e6 and c6. Just wondering why you didn't play that here. Is that just your recommendation for beginner's, did you just feel like playing Queen's Gambit, going for a different strategy, or switching things up?
Simon @1:10:45 Never in doubt! hahaha
Yeah
Simon, why aren't you streaming on twitch anymore?
who cares? recorded vids are 100x times better. keep it up Si
@@valevenga797 cant cheer bits though
@@johangamb dont even know what you are talking about. but lets just be glad simons back, i kinda missed him.
He never responds to chat
@@valevenga797 when he streamed titled tuesday on twitch in the "old days" you could cheer bits - eg 500 bits = 5 dollars or whatever, its a way twitch allows you to directly and immediately transfer money to a streamer, along with a message. they see the donation and usually say "thanks". Don't know why joeyblogsy says he never responds to chat, he certainly did, half the chat were typically real life aquaintances as far as I could make out at the time. The original once a month titled tuesday events (which ran late) with Simon streaming were simply epic.
whew that was a roller coaster!
get damiana loose leaf tea. its calming in a traditional sense, but i find it gives me some subtle focus enhancing effects. traditionally used for aphrodisiac properties!
How it feels to play the mad captain. 🥰😉
Drink recommendation, 8/11 points guaranteed:
1. Put on a kettle and boil water real good
2. Pull down the kettle
3. Slice up fresh GINGER root (1-2 inches) and put it in hot water (no more boiling)
4. Add honey and lemon to your looking
5. Wait until the water is cool
6. Get 8/11
+3 against Bortnyk omg what a display by the Black Lion and beautiful central sacrifice
I've seen a few bullet - like games where Simon players extremely quickly. For some reason he's only panicking when the clock is down from 3 minutes to 1. Wonder why :)
CHOOSDAY WITH SIMON YAY!
Maybe it's just because I would consider myself a positional player but the game at 50:28 was really enjoyable, strangled him like a boa constrictor.
Love you Simon
Hope the cats ok
