Titled Tuesday: Chess Is An Easy Game...

[@TSMC123]

The day ginger remembered his course, he will be adopting Magnus.

[@zizhdizzabagus456]

thats a great one mate)

[@subhanrachman3007]

sure, without any doubts

[@juhonieminen4219]

Not if Magnus has studied the Dee-Vee-Dee.

These videos are becoming a weekly ritual for me

[@zengarland4421]

Me too!

[@LoFiSymphony]

Same

[@viddyhk]

Gingergm is one of the real people , honest with his play and his comments. And definitely the favourite streamer/YT chess player

[@Stephan-uu3vm]

Simon doesn't seem to get the credit he deserves. He has done a lot for chess!

[@BernardFitzgerald-v6q]

Please never go away again.

[@Alan-qv7fv]

The week is never the same without Simon calling his opponents bastards

[@chrisrobbins2632]

Every video by this man should be called "How a GM thinks". I've learned more from Ginger GM than all the other streamers combined.

[@The_Noticer_of_Things]

"If you want to do something just do it and worry about the consequences later." This advice is why I watch these 💀

[@robertcatlow1881]

Simon's next course should be a self-help course

[@pimco2008]

So happy to be plugged in into the same simulation as you sir !!

[@LoFiSymphony]

Most entertaining chess content on youtube and it's not even close

[@magic_hotel]

Top YT post of the week, every week. Keep up the spankings, ideally with your opponents on the receiving end.

[@edf9577]

Aren't they just the best thing ever !

[@Stephan-uu3vm]

Simon is my favorite GM by far... yes there are better players, but since I started watching his videos in 2015 my chess rating has improved massively! I went from 1300 to 1900 because I can relate with Simon and his teaching style. Why isn't he the top streamer like Gotham chess? His videos are much more entertaining in my opinion.

[@TSMC123]

1. He doesn't appeal to kids who are the most dominant group on social media. 2. His videos are not as polished (which I like but not commercially advantageous ).

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

​@@TSMC123 Simons content is quite niche, as it happens some people enjoy niche stuff immensely, although the average audience usually goes for dull content made for broader masses, like Gotham's.

[@fredd3.14]

Hey, besides a bit dissapointing middle-late play (against very strong opponents) it seems you have improved a bit on your last 20 second jitters and mouse handling. Keep it up bro, you're an inspiration for many

[@-dizzoj-]

Hello! I've been enjoyed these TT videos. Your frustration is very relatable to me haha.. obviously you are doing it at a much higher level though :). Wonder if there's something in not worrying about the results and just playing to play your amazing exciting attacking chess? Anyway thanks for the videos!

[@rudi5764]

Thank you for uploading these!! So great to watch

[@danjeory3659]

Important idea for future Bird's games: I noticed the computer line you skipped over after 12.Qh5 g6. The computer says the surprising Nxg6 is possible because of takes and then Qb5+ at the end. Boom!

[@TSMC123]

Put that in your pi...

[@edf9577]

These videos from Simon are the most things I look forward to each week. Thx heaps dude. Tough week this was. I didn't see the mate in 1 either

[@buk0100]

Lots of spanking in advance with the birds, but we must be grateful to him for his breaknecking adventures. there is only one GingerGM. *Comeooon* ...

[@ArashBizhanzadeh]

Just an hour and half, come on Simon! I waited a week for this! 😄

[@raphaelhudson]

I cannot wait for the raven williams bird is the word course!

[@JeffPHamm]

Great stuff! I like how you're getting such interesting games from the Bird's. I've toyed with it since the 90s, pretty much for the reasons you've mentioned, you just get games you can't get in other ways, so I'm really enjoying seeing how you're interpreting the positions.

[@guywheatley4000]

"The Dream is alive! Cant we do it?! A bit more confident with the Bird's--let's crush it!" With 10 minutes left means it'll end on a middle-game heartbreak and withdraw. Still loved the interesting and dynamic chess. Thought you got plenty of creative positions out of the opening with loads of combinative possibilities (especially that last game) I think at 3 2 time control it's just a bit much to calculate under-the-gun. The way you play the Bird's is invigorating, hardly surprising from the world's greatest classical Dutch player. Loved the English Defence and an old-school Winawer into the mix too. I guess you think your French theory is "under a cloud" but you just understand those French pawn structures and piece play so well.

[@Sparkinside-wp5wr]

Simon, every week I look forward to Wednesday when you upload your trial and tribulations in TT. Please don't stop making these videos, as you bring so much pleasure through your obvious pain. Remember that the low moments render your victories even more sweeter to witness.

[@gregdavis1341]

Been following and playing chess for over 40 years. I enjoy watching your videos more than any other chess creator! Your Awesome Simon... Thank you sir !🙏🙏

[@tommarchant8215]

Hope you are well mate

[@huwdann]

Love your work! When can we buy the bird course? Best wishes from New Zealand

[@kaliessenplays2479]

Love it Simon

[@Yami-The-Vault-Dweller]

I was just watching a Monty Pythons' movie on Netflix. Guess it's British day

[@faznaz7455]

NCP is a very interesting acronym, I wonder what it means to be a player without a character🤔

[@arkadye]

Would old-school RTS games or a business manager sim fit the description?

[@joshuamcguire4832]

Ginger GM at it again!

[@Szymon_So]

No need for apologies when you're paving the way with your off-the-wall antics. The nerve to drop a "sorry" after being the ringmaster of a whirlwind of hilarity! And dishing out apologies for serving up a tornado of wild chess that reign supreme in the realm of good times is like treating the winter of rigid results reigning supreme over the dimensions of pleasure.

[@poehamilton8731]

The lack of black lion games is disturbing mate. It’s almost like you’re trying to lose…

[@ghost79ish]

Simon, if you read this, would you ever be interested in showing us some crazy house? I love your style of play and I think it would be really fun to watch you play some crazy house... You remind me of myself in a lot of ways, except that you're way better at chess lol

[@Michelt007]

Go bird! Go! After the fall of that meteorite 60 million years ago, it is the only dinosaur we have left!

[@jw41538]

you may not be a super GM, but you're still super!

[@jms4406]

Does bird opening work in longer games?

[@geraldruiz2911]

Wish I could go watch your Chess Boxing event live in person! But alas I live in the U.S...

[@MaxWright7]

The missed checkmate 😢 Please do more KZbin!

[@Master_of_Chess_Shorts]

nice play

[@zookeeper4230]

I love you Simon as a chess player who is honest. If I win the lotto you’re gonna be house chess player fully payed. 😂

Birds, Dutch, same ideas just with tempo

[@zoranherceg7221]

I'm I the only one to look at how long is the video and get disappointed before even start watching?

[@flash4762]

If you watch at 0.5 speed Simon sounds drunk.

[@someguyontheinternet7628]

We came here for the Dutch man! Not the gd Hippo!!!

[@johnjohnjhorton3618]

Would please consider playing the English Defence sometime. You have played it a bit I beleive. It is basically a Classic Dutch with a Queen's Indian set up and some Nimzo options. It would fit into you rep very well. I have played the English Def myself a bit but would like so see an attacking person play it who would know how to exploit the Dutch elements. Just an idea.

[@hanspeters4948]

I dont believe you really enjoy studying chess anymore. It feels to me more like a necessity to make videos and create some cashflow. Nonetheless, these streams and vids are so enjoyable. 🔥

[@esotericist9]

I keep hoping someone will play the From's Gambit against him and he will accept it instead of transitioning to a King's Gambit.

[@theplayzpaidoff]

Win for me. :(

[@Stephan-uu3vm]

I would pay 5000 U.S. dollars to spend a day with Simon, nothing wierd or perverse lol. Just can relate with the man about chess... also he seems like a cool dude.

[@TSMC123]

Arrange it then. I'm sure he would fancy a 5k check.
