[@Filisteu1900]

Thank you Simon, please don't give up on the 10/15m games! I do appreciate it and overall this is my favorite content. After seeing this videos I always want to play a game. Thank you again and best of luck 💪👏👏 cheers

[@Pieter_Holland]

Exactly what I wanted to write

[@Filisteu1900]

@@Pieter_Holland Great minds think alike 🤷🏻‍♂️💪

[@Aji-llo]

Please don’t stop making rapid speedruns they’re very helpful. I’d love to see you play a Dragon + English speedrun

[@joshwalker3139]

English speedrun pleeease. Love the chessable course.

[@hattorihanzo2275]

I spoke to someone from Bettendorf, Iowa the other day and it brought back ginger memories of the Debacle in Detroit.

[@Top_Lad]

Don't give up on this time control for videos, they are the preferred format for instructional videos.

[@Golly1969]

Thanks for another great video, Simon. Yours is the best chess content on the internet!

[@danjeory3659]

At f***ing last. A genuine player. A rarity on that site.

[@TheUnperson]

Very much enjoyed this video - please keep doing them. That's me off down the mud shop now.

[@brunocalver2968]

Green board is the best! Thank Simon for the great content as always 👍

[@funkyavocado-wd1tb]

Glad to see the series back. Good game.

[@FrozenBannans]

Love the videos keep them up!

[@slagorourke]

Amazing how the result changes when the beads are removed!

[@jezw1138]

Simon looking sharp! I learn so much from these videos.

[@Andha1]

Great video. Very educational!

[@Sebastian-di6sj]

very instructive thanks alot

[@ziocorbus]

I want MORE of your speedrun!

[@salemtv5808]

i learn a LOT from the way he compares candidate moves and explaining what possiblecounter play he might face..only thing is that he talks about it in a very simple way as if it’s doable for everyone..someone needs to remind him that he’s a world’s top chess player for a reason 😅😅

[@elindauer]

Players that setup with f4 e4 d4 against the black lion often go for these trade + push plans, but they all lose immediately. So fxe5 dxe5 d5 as in the game LOSES on the spot to Bb4 with sacrifices on e4 as Simon hinted in game actually happening in all lines. Same problems when white plays dxe5 dxe5 f5, Bb4 is a WIN. The key miss in this game is that after Bb4 Qf3 black should play Bxc3! where Qxc3 allows Nxe4 while after bxc3 Nc5 Bd3 there is Nfxe4! Bxe4 Qh4+ and again a central pawn falls leaving black with the material AND the compensation. I've won so many games like this in this line!

[@joegreenwood86]

Nice. You crush them when they're not cheating!

[@kylepaul8202]

Best streamer out there! Get this man views

[@funkyavocado-wd1tb]

4 out of the last 5 opponents have been banned for cheating... Unreal.

[@edwardwelsch5893]

Ah yes, the classic "barrel of mud" analogy. 🤔

[@ndumisomtshali383]

😂😂... ohhhhhh! So thats what it meant

[@ndumisomtshali383]

Usually I play the Caro-Kann or the Dutch when I play with black. I think its time I learn the Black Lion.

[@matteovrizzi]

what's a cross between Philidor and Najdorf? the Philidorf. 1:19

[@pawnpusher]

Maybe do a speedrun with shorter time controls? 3 mins and then analyze the game afterwards.

[@davidschneide5422]

I prefer the ocean pieces with icy sea board. The green is hard on my eyes.

[@jupiter-8405]

I watch this guy not just for the high standard chess but because his temperament is all over the place like mine lol!

[@lakeembryant4290]

thank you Sir

[@waitz27]

SLUG RUN!!

[@KF1]

Dapper Hair Run!

[@nbi4220]

I'm a rusty NM who would be glad to be a speed run victim, but you don't publish a schedule nor are there notifications for subscribers. How should we know you're planning to speed run?

[@xekind]

Biggest tip: Don't name your account GM-Speedrun. It seems to cue everyone to turn on their chess cheating software.

[@Socrates...]

cannon ball run

[@ab-ug9jf]

mudhouse roflmao!

[@Kolfonik]

Hey Simon, just take 15 seconds before your first move of the game and check your opponents account. Is it 2 days old and every game has 97 percent accuracy? abort the game, start a new one. At least for the games you record.

[@chriso6884]

Sorry you are running into so many cheaters. I know I feel dirty every time I encounter one.

[@stoutlager6325]

What's all this about a barrel of mud now?

[@tabularasa9576]

I love how depressed he is
