the one and only, GINGER GM, is back with some nice blitz chess. Thank you for everything, Simon!

[@albertjurcisin8944]

02:30 "I Love Going Fast Downhills" - is that your motto? :-) Love you, man. And you look sharp! Keep on cycling.

[@ill_will6492]

i quit a year ago. the trick is to throw everything away and remember there's no such thing as 'just one more'. treat it the same way they do alcohol in AA and just swear off for the rest of your life or else you'll go back. that aside congrats on the bike ride and thanks for the video! love to see a fellow englishman stomping players i couldn't hope to even lose gracefully to

[@jms4406]

This old bird was hungry. Hey man continue the physical activity you have to replace the cigarettes and drink with that instead. If you are an alcoholic have to stop entirely if not just cut back slowly and allow a whiskey night cap still every once in awhike. Doesnt feel good at first! Beachbody on demand is awesome online workout programs. I was 250lbs down to 210 now.

[@iconicon5642]

Keep on the bike and give up the smokes dude they are lethal.

[@siddharthb2633]

Ginger is the most underrated GM on Twitch

[@Filisteu1900]

Welcome back Mr. Simon Williams 💪 I miss your longer games. Hope everything is great 🧐💪

[@dilyan-2904]

Hey there, just to say stream/record more on lichess, you can join tournaments there it's lots of fun.maybe drunk stream why not!

[@gorvnice]

Awesome stream! I think what you were trying to articulate about openings (but were in the middle of an intense game so couldn't quite put the words to it) is that so many amateur level players get worried about playing "inferior" openings such as the french or the scandi, etc. They are failing to realize that most of us (like a full 99 percent probably) are never going to be close to good enough to take full advantage of a so-called superior or inferior opening to where it will make any difference in their results. Most of us are still making basic blunders, counting errors, tactical errors, etc. And even in your high level blitz games you see that an inferior opening gambit can still win and get great results. Most of us online play shorter games, we are not playing classical chess anyway!

[@AbarSimorgh]

At 24:15 you had clicked on the pawn and then you clicked on the f4 square, so the pawn moved to f4. I suggest to take away 'click two squares' and only have 'dragg a piece'. Great video though. Thank you Simon.

[@giorgibliadze1151]

too many adds,, nearly unwatchable video

[@ym276]

Get adblock then or use KZbin go instead, which reduces the number of ads greatly

[@giorgibliadze1151]

@@ym276 thanks, i will try

[@Armin_27]

Yes! Get those miles on the Bike in there, Simon! 🙌🔥🚲

[@hellooohowareudoing]

2579 rated player timing out? Why would they do that?

[@onetwo1615]

"I bought your dvd because I thought the openings mattered" 😂🤣 Too funny!

[@MrThinCat]

Treat yourself to some ads mate 🤣 Jk it’s worth it

[@schroederluck7984]

I play online poker. While coronavirus has enhanced the player pool to include many more bad players than usual, the games are not easy. Are they beatable? Yes, but only for the top 15-20% of players. You don't have to just beat 50% of players to be a "winning" player because the poker site takes a small % of each pot (called "rake"). Can you play and have a few laughs and be entertained and not lose a ton of money if you aren't a studied poker professional? Yes, but you at least have to have some solid fundamentals. Start at the micro stakes (1 cent/2 cent blinds) and see how you do!

[@stanleyguedes2336]

18:35 what a spanking! Loving the course, @GingerGM!

[@judahslion5611]

This is the cycling path Simon is referring to @2:38... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYmxg4B5jsitd6c

[@mcpartridgeboy]

Poker is really hard now i know a lot and i can just about compete at 10nl wich is top end of microstakes, you can make good money from poker but not really from cash, you need to play tourneys and you need to get very lucky, tourney players are generally much weaker than cash game players, but theres so much luck i would rather play cash.

[@samuelbruyneel]

WTF is wrong with KZbin?! I got an ad before the start of this video, and then literally every single 3 minutes again in a video of over an hour...

[@michaeldunston1204]

Wayyyyy too many ads, my man.

[@stanleyguedes2336]

How have people not figured out AdBlock. That's the real conundrum.

[@michaeldunston1204]

On the mobile app...

[@stevesidare2493]

Good God, man! I wish you'd turn down your Intro music! '_' (Or at least turn up your mic!)

[@adamnowak9582]

21:30 i think the famous Cult song in the States was "Fire Woman"... is that the one you were thinking of?

[@zhegors4733]

change title to oversaturated speed chess

[@kafaalii]

Thanks for everything

[@matteovrizzi]

i've noticed Simon refer to some moves as "thematic" but i'm not sure what he means by that. anyone?

[@sayso2135]

I'm a little late, but moves are thematic if they're commonly seen ideas, maybe in a certain opening

[@lungaphakathi9915]

So many ads

[@bluefloyd8]

Happy to show you how to do multiple pre-moves! Haha I think you could use a lesson ;)

[@erzi3800]

COVID is never going to "be over". There will always be "variants". Historically, peasants have been limited in their movements, diet, heating fuel, and ability to own weapons. And the bloodthirsty rulers are making their move to return to those times.
