GM Speed Chess!

[@gratitude62]

2700 rating, 10,000 subscribers, and a Pub with your name on it where every table is a chess board ... sounds like a good life... and thanks for the vids....

[@martinet1985]

To be quite honest, If I saw a book called "Harry up the bottom" in my bookstore, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@Ibakecookiess]

0:49 : "Buy my dvd on theory on this opening" followed a couple of seconds later by "my theory is a bit lacking on this opening." lol

[@michaelbauers8800]

I find that funny too, but a person could write a book, check the theory, and it's all good. Then time goes by, and the writer forgets some of the theory. Two years ago I could explain action script programming MUCH better than I could right now :)

[@Enderboiiii]

Hey GingerGM I was hoping you could satisfy a special request. On your next recording can you say the sentence "three free free-throws at three thirty three?" You don't have to do it, but it would make some of your fans smile. Nothing but

[@arithilemn]

You're the best, I love your videos, super funny, educational and inspiring.

[@AgentSmith911]

6:15 LOL

[@solomzifobo123]

i love the commentary very good quality games

[@drpawnkwp]

Remember that EVERYONE whos rating is near their actual strength will score about 50%. That is they will lose one and win one. That is true for both 1200 and 2800 strength players. So we expect Simon to be the same. What we love is who Simon is, its so easy to watch his videos and learn!

[@BamThwok76]

sorry did you say that was most frustrating or mouse frustrating?

[@StephenWhite55]

Excellent Form, GMW! Great fun to watch... Personally, I'd love to see you playing more French Defenses - back when I was playing seriously (40+ years ago!), it was my main weapon against 1. e4 ...

[@BRINGM3LOVE]

Haha! You are awesome!

[@almasichepkosgei4921]

Another 1 hour vid!!!! Gonna rock & roll !!!

[@jessevick7369]

good stuff Simon you are my favorite GM and hero when it comes to the dutch. Also its nice to see you playing 1. f4 every now and then to! haha

[@craig9802]

"He's done to me what I do to people!" :) A subconscious psych lesson @ 47:45 that we all can learn from. Thanks, Simon, for putting in the time and effort to educate us all. Cheers, mate! P.S. Please PM me address to where I can send mouse batteries...

[@tharindanimnajith3525]

Another 1 hour video! You are awesome!

[@robertmugabe8489]

After 1 hour, Simon gained 3 rating points. On the bright side, at least he gained rating points...

[@Electronite1978]

Nice idea at 10:00 to take with a rook instead of a bishop.

[@danjeory3659]

Simon, you need to change your outgoing requests to +/- 100 too. At the moment they're both set to infinity. You could have ended up playing me at 1300 and lost even more points! Or not.

[@mamuelpapito]

Still waiting for the Bartholomew : Williams goods, dont dissapoint me Simon :)

[@fredd3.14]

you need a better mouse or mousepad! or maybe a lower sensitvity for more control?

[@singhbackONtrack]

ranche vs Simon chess rival plz

[@KS622]

35:45 ''There is a time and place to whip everything off in life'' - GingerGM

[@mikek4025]

"protection is good" sounds like simon is talking from experience...

[@jsgovind]

That first game wow! :O

[@mumpygumboo8554]

Thanks for the upload, Simon! From, lil' ol' "Canader..." :-)

[@slydo1983]

Jan Gustafssun loves to gobble pawns would be an interesting match up

[@2runEntertainment]

You set a preferred rating range for incoming challenges, but not for outgoing ones (the ones you create). That's why lower-rated players can accept your challenges. Cheers.

[@jovicastanisic6052]

Do you ever play Leningrad Dutch, it would be nice if you did?

[@pawnsarepiecestoo]

hey simon if you want higher rated opponents you must change your outgoing challenges :) Cheers

[@giacomocianciuolo7262]

it's not the italian flag

[@AgentSmith911]

Hungary... C+ for Simon

[@beatbang000]

infatti lol

[@martinet1985]

"he's done to me what I do to people!" - I died laughing 😂

[@user-uq3iw2nf6x]

it hurts so much to see you losing on time.. xC

[@redhaegar]

All of your videos got one of these „I have to say I forgot the theory about this specific opening“ :D Simon - on a more serious note: when was the time you worked on your theory and your bloody DVD'S on gingergm.com? I would love to hear some bits about your chess life and career.

[@koenpalstermans9180]

I like your look in this vid. Cool hair style. Is it getting greyer? Like it though. Amusing and good chess comments too off course.

[@lumberjack3008]

Just listening to your voice... It is quite easy to hear, if it's a good or a bad day, good or ... not so good games :-)

[@raduucosma]

Why don't you play 5 mins?

[@ritheeshavellanki5667]

Better luck next Simon you shall reach 2700

[@smithbob8236]

That's not the italian flag, that's the hungarian flag, lol

[@johnnybopper8467]

25:50 this guy is so weird 😂

[@relaxstation1871]

You are funny as fuck ya ginger!

[@cpad007]

I want BAD~~~ASS, Simon!!! C'mon, Harry!!!

[@cpad007]

"You can have your bloody pawns and stick them up your bottom, Sir" LMFAO!!!

[@tonicatano]

Definitely first

[@tonicatano]

:D

[@ЭльханОруспай-ю7т]

Simon is bad at this game because he loses good ones.

[@saintdufus7133]

Of course, anyone rated 2500+ is automatically among the top .001% of players in the world, so you can't really say he's "bad at this game"... ;)

[@singhbackONtrack]

ranche vs Simon chess rival plz
