Hi Simon. Really appreciate the return of that speed run on a regular basis. Thanks a lot. I just got your book "The killer Dutch" I love it already so thanks for that too. Hope you're doing great. Cheers mate

You make chess look quite simple going through your thought process...great game, great video! Glad to see so many videos coming, maybe give the blindfolded idea a go?! Haha cheers from Brazil Simon!

Cornering the bishop and then just leaving it to rot is my favourite lesson here. Also looking for a better move at the end for mate. Love watching all your videos. Thanks mate.

Nice explanatory video. Identifying the opponent's mistakes and probing the resulting weaknesses. We can all gain from lessons like this. Especially useful that the longer time limit gives you the opportunity to explore many aspects of the position, not just the most critical.

Giving GingerGM tempo with white is asking for trouble

Really glad to see these slower speed run games appearing regularly. And having played Bird's, From's Gambit is one where memory is critical as it is very trappy, but White should come out ahead. As I recall if White accepts both pawns the key moves after that are Nf3, d4, and Qd3, but White needs to know the line quite precisely for quite some time after that still. And in any case, transposing to King's Gambit is much more fun and in this case resulted in a very nice game. Keep 'em coming.

I think his h6 move was intending to block Ng5. Since your pawn on f4 is already covering g5, his queen isn't actually defending g5. So if he allowed you to play Ng5 and then you got your bishop on c4, f7 would be pretty vulnerable in a fried liver type way. I'm not saying it was sound, I'm just relating how us non-GMs think.

You were on fire during this game. Nd5 was a key move.

hey Simon.... we want to see you streaming... do some stream & post updates of the schedule... what a great streamer you are... i have watched many chess youtubers/ streamers but you are the most humorous, interesting and instructive one out there and i feel sad why you are still so underrated... i am watching your content for about 10 years now.... Also me being selfish and greedy - i don't want people to figure out your channel because i learned a lot and i don't want new competition as my secret of being this good at chess is ggm speedruns, streams, videos, DVDs which i don't want people to figure out.... but hope soon you will reach 100k soon... keep going sir.. also i like your videos before watching because i know its going to be great as usual...

19:34 Afraid of the Bxf7 Ng5 idea perhaps? But that tactic wasn't available at that time. I've played the KG a lot and had that tactic work maybe 3 times. Also from my experience the engine probably screamed for you to play Kh1 and possibly e5. The KG is pretty wild in that the engine will occasionally recommend caveman moves like Kh1 but sometimes double peace sacrifices for checkmate. The line with 3. Bc4 is playable according to the engine but I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole. Analyzing it is really interesting though.

The KG bishops gambit variation is honestly probably the best variation. Bobby fischer favored that one. I've had tons of success with it. Honestly it's more sound imo after playing both styles. But I like daring black to play Qh4+, simply Kf1 and gain tons of tempo on the queen for free development. It looks super scary, but it's harmless. But the h6 was a waste. There was no threat of Bxf7 at that moment. Had there been a bishop on c4 already.. then it might've been warranted. The f7 square is the key square in the KG in almost every variation. The sacrifice works quite often at club level.

These videos really can improve your play drastically if you can understand the depth of his level. It’s giving me true understanding on coaching, multiple very high level ideas in this video, you can only grasp it if you’re at least intermediate level

If you undrerstand the deph of his level im impressedbecause he is a gm and its not easy for anybody lower than an IM to understand the deph of thinking above 2400 ! im an 1800 player i might get a grasp of 2100 maybe on a good day ! 2200 plus, no chance !

@@mcpartridgeboyI genuinely understand the depth of his level but it doesn’t mean I can play it any where close to him! He had multiple really really high level ideas and bc he explained them I really understood. We’re talking way higher level than just 3-4 moves/tactics. He had multiple ideas in that where he baited play as well as showed crazy patience when a lot of options were available.

gingergm, magnus just played a game with an opening similar to the british grand prix (vs alireza in the julius baer cup) Could you do a game recap if possible?

@esotericist9 3 ай бұрын

Just once I'd love to see Simon accept the From's gambit. It produces some of the most interesting (and sharp) games, especially the Lasker variation with black's g-pawn push.

yeah he should love the From's!
