GM Simon Williams Blitz Speedrun 12 | 1200-1500

[@nachopablo]

the blundering of the fork just made my night, cheers from argentina simon!

[@sarcastaball]

It wasn't a blunder lol

[@Not3xactly]

It most definitely was a blunder lol

[@georgcantor8859]

Thank you, Ginger GM. The knight fork that wasn't makes me feel a little better. Of course, you're a GM that made a rare slip, whereas I routinely blunder. Still...

[@coolmind2476]

Again, very instructive vídeo. The missed fork in the first game shows that one common mistake is not to punish the opponents blunders.

[@Jakeer653]

speedruns are the videos I love to watch the most, definetly will go for all of them, thanks for guide

[@milkyBK370]

Great to see this series again. Great content as always.

[@TipsyFlipper]

that first game with the fork miss was amazing. I am crying. 2:31

[@walterbrownstone8017]

I love watching grandmasters pummel lower level players in slow motion. It's both fun and instructive!

[@happyhornet1000]

I'm sure the player being pummeled feels the same way. :-/

[@carlix20]

then don't get mad if some sandbagger destroy you on chesscom :D

[@cedrics7374]

When they play a bit sensible yes. But queen sacrifice speedruns are only fun, not instructive at my level 😅

[@walterbrownstone8017]

@@cedrics7374 Simon is the fun GM. His videos are always fun. When I'm in the mood to watch a try hard, I watch Hikaru. I watched Hans Neiman often on twitch a few years ago, another excellent try hard GM.

[@fuadyhidayat]

Really like this type of content. Very instructive. Well explained. And I love it when you mention Daniel.

[@mickgrundy4615]

Love your videos so imformative. Learning alot. Love that dutch opening.

[@petercraig6990]

With this new calm, structured and instructing way you will gain a lot of new viewers and subscribers. Thanks for great content!

[@harrychess9532]

Yes this is the kind of series i want to watch again and again... Keep doing it forever please ❤️

[@Jai00073]

Simon If you see this comment i just wanted to say that you've helped me a ton! My rating from 900 has skyrocketed to 1200 thanks to your speedrun videos. Please keep it up!!

[@DavidKnight33]

Really enjoying this speed run series. Thanks GingerGM Simon.

[@only1jones2]

@2:38 crying laughing... had to go back again and again!

[@salemtv5808]

that was amazing…very instructive..i don’t know why i didn’t discover this channel earlier…thank you soooo much

[@mychessnotebook8653]

Top-notch instructive quality! Thanks, Simon!

[@electorofsaxony7646]

Lol at that first game. You've been playing with the Botez sisters too much 😂 #BotezGambit

[@markosborn3079]

Great content, and lots to learn from these type of games. Thank you, Simon!

[@jeffbreedlove7437]

Awesome. Been waiting for this video!

[@johnstoeckel9384]

Hey Simon! I love all of your work, especially on the dutch. Wondering why you don't play the bird as white, and if we will ever see a bird course on chessable? Thanks for the aggressive, exciting material!

[@hoegaarden2003]

Oh man. That last player really got Pulverized! They'll be feeling rough after that game. What a joy to watch 😆

[@Joe-zu7lx]

ooh i'd forgotten about the black lion that will vary up my repertoire when I'm bored thanks!

[@wce-tube]

Really nice! Danya is a legend indeed

[@tele-marmotte]

"wow this guy is a a gm!" *Blunders his queen in the first game* ahah so he's also human. New subscriber :)

[@ChessJournal]

Great content, as always 👍❤️

[@KF1]

Chewed my pizza so hard when you blundered that royal fork. Very entertaing stuff!

[@milkyBK370]

That blunder is game 1 was hilarious

[@viezure10]

Simon's blunder, right? :D

[@milkyBK370]

@@viezure10 I laughed more at Simons reaction. Once the opponent missed taking the queen the writing was on the wall for the poor bugger... :-)

[@shravanbaliga7633]

Loved the video ginger gm more speedruns please

[@kevinleonard4226]

Even if your opponent didn't see it, bless you for showing us that blunder.

[@martinfuchs3983]

These lower rated games are pure gold. Ever so instructive.

[@jbennett1618]

@17:57 a very insightful comment HE made

[@roylowry4798]

Really like these videos

[@sorooshshafiee7942]

I love your videos and all jokes you make :D

[@bdhatc]

I appreciate your videos!

[@zada4a]

hey thats my rating, and I saw the knight fork before GingerGM ! yay Just a heads up, at this rating they usually spot these, so you got pretty lucky.

[@Joachimhuby]

Does Simon just miss Qxc2 at 14:24?

[@konroh2]

Yeah, that would have been stronger instead of trading. Nice catch.

[@CT2507]

The nice thing about winning the tempo is that you can then afford to "act" and your opponent has to "react"! Which makes all the difference.

[@neville-mladen9393]

Simon is a legend

[@marcel2711]

2:40 hahaha. very funny :D

[@jeanpaulfelix4095]

Aman is the gold standard for instructional speedrun chess.

Your mum is the standard in brothels

[@pakchu2]

More Jobava London!

[@marcel2711]

wow dutch very interesting opening against d4. interesting

[@Enderboii47]

@2:32Wait for it….

[@MurrayHerts]

2:33 very untypical blunder for someone so strong but just goes to show even the best can get distracted by an idea and miss an obvious threat

[@sharpvidtube]

Looks so easy, then I play, and find a way to mess it up. Slowly learning, but I'm amazed at how undisciplined I am. I like Daniel N too.

[@slagorourke]

Nice to see a Botez Gambit there, Simon! My favourite opening in which I have a 0% win rate.

[@tellahsage6477]

I managed to win one (1) game in this gambit before. Was freaking jumping in my chair when i got the checkmate :v

[@МихайлоЩигол-г1ф]

14:26 missed free piece ?

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

Finding mistakes? Well, we found a good one: Qg6??

[@joebortiatynski3192]

Thanks

[@marcel2711]

14:26 take free bishops :P

Where is he rest of this “series”

[@Enderboii47]

BEST GM FOR THE MONEY

[@dylanmasterguy]

2:43 lmfao

[@TheFlagMaster.]

Comment for the algorithm

[@L30B055]

Same

[@azaz...]

that was cool

[@saitamabeach2200]

Why does Simon only stream 6 evenings per week? Because he always likes to take a knight off! 🙄😅😆

[@kewalmohapatra8340]

23:10 lmfao

[@kuayinghao8290]

I hope the royal fork in the first game was set up deliberately.

that funny😂

[@crazyboysince1998]

Knight forks are annoying hahaha

[@COBRA-rq1ig]

First comment!

[@shanastroskyphazer8172]

Hahaha Qg6 just like a 1298. Botez speed run. Nxf6 no? Thanks GM Simon, you still would have won the game a Queen down. Sac it on purpose to a 1300-1400 next time, would be very exciting ! I'm going to teach you how to get a good position with almost no time on the clock while I speak complete gibberish to much lower rated players and on no . Funny chess thanks

[@happyhornet1000]

Presumably your opponents know they are playing a GM? I know it says GM in the player name, but lots of people use GM in their names. Do they know they are playing an 'actual' GM, as the rating is clearly not a GM rating. Hopefully everything is above board. No pun intended.

[@TheSludgeMan]

Trivial detail to pick up on but it'd be cool to see you not always referring to the opponent as 'he'. Even though 9/10 that'd be right it's one of those little ways to be gender inclusive init

[@joshuahunter2825]

WTF, queen blunder? Is this botez gambit ?

[@richardmarlborough6269]

how can a GM blunder?!

[@dsrguru]

GMs blunder pretty often in fast time controls even when they're not dividing their concentration between the board and a camera. These kind of blunders are much rarer in classical chess, but Bobby Fischer famously trapped his own bishop in a world championship match, as did Ian Nepomniatchi this past year.
