Nice to see you using lichess

[@rokeley94]

Love the vids! A bit of constructive criticism: the audio of your intro is always incredibly higher then the volume of the rest of your videos. I think you could do with lowering the volume of your intro some; it would be much appreciated from some of us headphone wearers. Thanks for all the awesome content! I really enjoy and appreciate it!

[@santaclaus7727]

classic Williams, complaining how slow he is and how quick the other kids are... than spending 30 sec on the stupid screen that nobody cares about :-)

[@bhartinegi858]

Great to see you on Lichess Simon but aren't chess.com streamers are in a contract with chess.com to not stream on any other site?

[@sl523]

1:59:28, Qg2 wins by force!

Top 5 brilliant moves by ginger gm

[@stephencallahan7877]

‘I’m two pawns down & down on time’ Seems like a gingergm stream 😂 I’m a fan of your channel Simon, thank you

[@DGRRvideos]

I know hes talked about his ADD before but this could be a diagnostic video tool with the bloody standings screen mid blitz game.

[@TheBramVermeulen]

So fun to see you play on lichess

[@johngalt1555]

Seeing you play on Lichess is awesome 💪

[@elindauer]

It's inspirational to watch the great Ginger GM sacrifice material and win against fantastic players. His style is so fun to play and I've become a much stronger player by watching him work. Thanks!

[@tylerbrown9631]

If I'm ever lucky enough to play against GM Simon Williams, you better bet I won't resign. I'll savor every second of the experience.

[@hypesquirrel4974]

Just found this channel. I'm new to chess and watching you just blows my mind... Keep up the content dude, teach me senpai :D (And many thanks! Learning lots)

[@valevenga797]

think i speak for everybody when i say nobody cares about the standigs

[@orusanen]

Thanks for the games. At 1:03:38 c6 seems to win a bishop.

[@Electronite1978]

Exellent Karpovian game against mesutgm. A positional domination at 21:31. Black was basically paralyzed the whole game

[@dbass4973]

that game with pawn d6 move though!

[@jms4406]

I hope I never have to see you suffering for beer again.

[@jms4406]

Alba Scots pine ale is one of my favorites

[@matteovrizzi]

lichess ruined 3 of simon's games with that pesky screen

[@Zeitgeist420]

Hey Simon i`m desperately searching for Captain Bunrattys water line song you played a few days ago :D

[@the5tiff]

You can open tournament standings page in incognito window to avoid new game popping there and saving some precious seconds on the clock. Good games!

[@judahslion5611]

YESSSSSS He's finally back!!!

[@mikek4025]

Haha, that game against ravi at 27:00 reminds me of that immortal Nigel Short game with the king walk

[@joshuapirgon4105]

loving it Simon!!!! just asking around 20 mins why not e4 and if he pushes a3 to kick the bishop there is takes with check?

[@ChessPlays]

You can learn a lot from watching Simon. Golden.

[@ricksick81]

I think David Howell plays SO well, can you repeat Simon?

[@dilyan-2904]

Play some more on lichess big tournaments

[@bubsadoozy]

Happy to see you supporting Lichess!

[@orusanen]

that end was fantastic. Thanks for the games! :)

[@32braveheart]

53:43 For the life of me I can't tell why Simon resigned this one.

[@Tyngdlyftning1]

Check mate in two for opponent

[@Tyngdlyftning1]

Rf1+, Kg2, Rg1#

[@jamesyork]

laughed out loud at the "people seem to have forgotten how to resign in the time of COVID." haha

[@micheledele]

Simon we just love you

[@jms4406]

Yess!! This baby bird was hungry

[@mariukor]

Ever thought about the fact that there are always two Harry's on the board in the very beginning of the game..?

[@johnkilgallon207]

I love how under-stated Simon Williams is.. "Oh no.. i am running out of beer! Oh no... I need to re-position my screen.. (meanwhile runs over 2 or 3 GM's!). That is mastery right there.

[@ym276]

He's entertaining but he plays like a 2100 - most people want to watch grandmasters who play high-quality chess;) No offence to Simon though, he's a great player when he's in form

[@patjcoan]

Williams for president!

[@secretcrocodile7499]

that rook sac checkmate - beast

[@anthonygutierrez7732]

That game where he suffocated his opponent was a masterpiece..karpovian maybe??

[@xerograv6375]

Bd3!!

[@joketer34]

SIMONNNN!!

[@zachlward]

dang, there were some really nice games in there

[@russ3578]

1:33:00 nice instinctual mating attack

28:37 Rook takes knight game over, streak continues

[@husejnmuratovic2428]

Pawn takes fg6 and u cry

[@32braveheart]

@@husejnmuratovic2428 Bruh. Queen takes Harry checkmate.

[@husejnmuratovic2428]

@@32braveheart queen takes queen you losee wake up dude

[@32braveheart]

@@husejnmuratovic2428 You can't be that dense. If white takes the rook, white queen takes on h7 checkmate. If black's response is pawn to g6, then white has taken a free knight.

[@Jeffozzz]

Just what I've seen and Simon didn't

[@joshuapirgon4105]

[@WillBurgos]

At 28:39, doesn’t rxkf6 lead to mate?

[@hayriyigitakargun3015]

gxf6 prevents the mate as queen can defend h7
