GM Simon Williams Blitz Speed Run 35 - A Very Human Move

[@MurrayHerts]

GM Simon Williams Blitz Speed Run vs Stockfish

[@emi662002]

Just checked, he was banned indeed. 6 of te last 10 games of the Ginger were against cheaters 😢

[@zxien1]

This is exactly why no high rated players play slow chess online. The amount of cheaters in slow chess is out of control. At least in blitz you can flag the cheaters that take forever each move as they're checking the engine.

[@travisnobleart]

As a neurodivergent chess player, attention to the clock is killer for me, so I'm often stuck in the difficult realm of losing in a winning position because of time, or playing at a higher time control and facing cheats. It's absolutely demoralizing.

[@chriszur2]

eventhough you fight cheaters quite often. We still love to see you playing and explaining your plans to us. Keep it going man! Cheaters are the worst. But your content is golden.

[@24KWills]

Funny that he needed to check whether to take your queen and took 5 seconds to do so

[@mcronrn]

Thanks for sharing your chess Simon! Hope you’re well!! 🙏🙏👍🏽👍🏽👏👏

[@optimalbrand]

As soon as I saw the name I knew what was coming

[@danielcosta135]

This must be the speedrun with most cheaters I've ever seen. 😅😅

[@InfiniteQuest86]

Also the only speedrun where the opponent literally knows that they are playing a speedrunner and will get caught 100%.

[@santhoshsivan4693]

I miss your longer games ❤

[@od7804]

Even though they’re cheating, it’s still amazing listening to your thought process, don’t stop 😂

[@nocurve2329]

Unreal! Never thought I would reminisce about the good ol’ days with the icc and fics. Always love your content though!

[@user-zzZ77]

I look forward to your videos. Fan from Kazakhstan.

[@marko9912]

Hi Simon, just paused at the start where you mention 100k subs, thought I'd relay something Gotham said about what helped boost his numbers - which was the short clips/reels or the shorter videos, did something for the algorithm and his numbers went up quickly.

[@jcup4702]

Question is if Simon wants these kind of people

Question is if Simon wants these kind of people

[@richardfredlund8846]

@Ginger GM I was thinking about this cheat thing, which keeps happening in the speed run. I wonder if you could just play subscribers or people who have bought your products, or are on some sort of list where they are less likely to be cheating.

[@danjeory3659]

I think he did that once and still came up against an engine...

[@MrGelliantGutfright]

6:11 Sometimes foreshadowing is relatively obvious

[@slagorourke]

The cheater plague continues. Kudos to Simon for keeping on keeping on. Drives me mad. I've lost to 3 cheaters in the last week alone. Absolute gits.

[@Socrates...]

Love the speedrun

[@charlesrecchia315]

Simon is the best chess streamer in the Virgo Supercluster

[@dunnokki]

Indeed, let alone the entire Laniakea Supercluster

[@stevehill8007]

Still loving the content Simon! Very instructive indeed

[@andrewwardle5849]

You just have to love Simon’s content, just great and bonus is I now enjoy Katy cider every summer.

[@dannyshaw4057]

It was a good game - maybe Simon should just play Stockfish, because the run through of the thought processes is very informative.

[@salemtv5808]

96.1 % accuracy and Simon didn’t do a single mistake or a blunder just few inaccuracies!! this is good Simon is practicing against the engin basically..that’s a win for him and Mordi shame on you

[@dsoul007]

@Simon you should change your account name for the speedrun. When people know they’re playing the almighty Ginger it makes them want to cheat apparently

[@stoutlager6325]

In this particular case it was a brand new account started last week and he'd been cheating from game 1.

[@marcellodelira5601]

You are getting on in years, Simon. Hard to keep up with this computer generation.

[@blueguitarist]

Boi tha dayvayday

[@bigz1641]

It's the Queens' English mate. What, are your ears painted on?

[@Smith_Jnr]

His first three minutes were taken up to connect to Stockfish.

[@alexandergrant2420]

That was an interesting game, and I had no clue he was cheating- he was quite convincing.

[@jimmyyates9520]

hate these damn cheats!! they screw up what u r trying to do. but keep it up simon everyone here knows u r a strong gm and we appreciate these videos. thank you

[@KF1]

Chess is a humble life

[@niagra898]

..and Ginger IS humble. Good man.

[@TimJapan]

Swapping off the light sq bishop in that position is like throwing away your ace in the hole. But he was a cheat.

[@TheDeadsilent]

Don’t play players that have only been around like 5 days! Maybe say at least 3 months? Just a quick check would be a good start

[@sergiuszbanasz3194]

I decided for me to Play only Blitz - 5 min. The reason is you Play more with INTUITION 💙 less with your head 🤯 no offense Simon, you i mean all chess players should only RELAX - no thinking at ALL EMPTY YOUR MIND 😉 because when your are really relaxed(music - is a GOOD idea) your Soul (INTUITION) works ONLY ! I like very much Simon, because Iam 49 😄 and i love chess 2 of course ...fuck Iam tired now 😜 soooooon more

[@chloegreyson2228]

Such a shame that people need to cheat to feel good about themselves. What’s there to gain.

[@paullauridsen3176]

Doesn't make it right on their part, but I think Simon has to change his username, the frequency of cheaters is much higher than normal

[@platonfoucault1087]

Indeed. People do it thinking it is alright because it is a GM anyway.....

[@tomhotchkin868]

I dunno. I just played a 96 percent accuracy game using my sons account. He's 1300 but I can't really be more than 1800. Im an incredibly inconsistent (aka shitty) player and yes im better than 1300 but sometimes mediocre players play great. It listed my player level as 2150 =but I did not cheat!

[@bonsaiviking]

Playing against a lower level opponent, probably a line you know well. Not against a GM playing a less-common opening.

[@bilalbil1652]

Change the ID

[@woodyboy1029]

Please Simon, change your chess name and face fewer cheaters.

[@danielfrappier3378]

Simon, I love you and I have bought many of your products which I highly recommend but I have to say I disagree with you on this one. I am 1800 and I have played games rated at 93% and 94% (I do not recall 95% however). Nothing in the moves he played stand out to me He did play 5 inacuraccies and 4 'good' moves -don't know their system but a move rated as good if often quite dubious-. So that is 9 bad moves but no blunders.

[@tomhotchkin868]

Thats what I said!~. I once checkmated an IM on ICC in 7 moves. Obviously this isnt that but us crappy p[layers have our moments! Plus I could beat that guy that gm showed up too drunk to make a move.

[@tomhotchkin868]

Also, Simon is the best instructor of chess I have encountered. His series on the French defense raised my rating 200 or 300 points easily.

[@677khalid]

Unbelievable 😂

[@Gretchaninov]

They need harsher penalties for these cheaters. It feels like an epidemic.

[@TheMarzamat]

mordi69allah already banned 🤦‍♂

[@IvarKoster]

disheartening how many cheats you are encountering, maybe a more incognito username will do the trick.

[@platonfoucault1087]

Change your name if you want to face less cheaters lol. People told you so! ;-)

[@TiagoFarok]

Cheaters only speedrun

[@rathelmmc3194]

I wonder why you're running into so many cheaters. Very odd.

[@BlackIce1711]

Nah you lost, he is not a cheat.

[@GigasGirus]

I just searched up their game, the guy he reported got banned & so did the person he played the game before this. So ya the cheater did beat him, but at the cost of their account😂

[@Lil_mar00]

His account is banned.

[@BlackIce1711]

@@GigasGirus Thanks for the information
