The Microphone Gambit | Titled Tuesday - Apr. 23, 2024

[@westofwahpeton4692]

The audio takes me back to the “Chess Fundamentals” early videos.

[@BrokenG-String]

Omg if this ain't the truth 😂

[@PerceivedREALITY999]

High level chess requires full focus. The Microphone Gambit is extremely hard to play. You continue to produce quality content. Thanks for another entertaining video.

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Still trying to adjust the completely dead mic at 33:54 😂😂

[@ryanpula9389]

Great to see another Titled Tuesday vid John, always find time for these 🙂

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Glad you like them - thanks, Ryan!

[@8ealer]

Actually I love the sound from webcam or whatever it was. Feels more natural and simpler to process with ambient noise included. :) When watching on TV at least.

[@khaledtn]

Thanks for posting. Will watch even if it was in sign language.

[@syndicator5193]

YESSS. Thank you so much for sharing more of these tournaments John. I found you by watching blitz and frankly the players that took place of the older streamers place just don't compare.

[@mattprout8872]

Enjoying the uploads! Also appreciate it when you leave any postgame analysis in the edit😊

[@goldenlion3184]

Watched this live, you persevered in the face of adversity and showed us some amazing games!!

[@twoedc4202]

Enjoyed the stream on twitch regardless of audio issues. The most articulate chess master on the net. P.S. Can’t wait for the Scandi course.

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thank you very much! Cheers.

[@adamh6094]

Game 3 looks similar to a lot of taimanov sicilians I play, but you have a pawn on the c file. Those holes on the opponents light squares were soooo juicy.

[@azaz6951]

The audio was fine tbh

[@nuklearwinter2892]

Thanks for posting this John and the honest intro. Had to be super distracting but you managed it great.

[@marcr1652]

Yay, really nice treat

[@Alan.92n]

As always John, instructive and watchable and the audio was OK. These things happen. Much more important are the chess games which will hopefully improve my chess! 😊 👍

[@BenRook]

Thanks for the vid...best always!

[@pietropiscina6916]

Love these vids John!

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thanks, Pietro!

[@keysersoze8]

Team Scandi!

[@jorgesanchez2118]

Nice games. Thank you.

[@johncalvin6124]

Speaking to the mic for 10 min: "Actually, I should'nt speak to it" :)

[@InfernalPasquale]

Much nicer seeing the full screen rather than the microphone blocking maximum John real estate

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Good point, this is my one issue with the Shure mic. Might switch it back to the old setup some time!

[@InfernalPasquale]

@@JohnBartholomewChess It is a dilemma! I wonder if you could strategically place the mic out of shot or close.

[@danjeory3659]

Chess coaches: Develop your pieces in the opening, get castled, don't make too many pawn moves... John and his opponent in Game 4: Hold our beers

[@connormonday]

You’ll never see John in a chess tilt compilation.

[@aryanrahimpour]

Strongest and most surprising gambit 😂🔥

[@BrokenG-String]

12:12 wasn't rook e1 probably the best move? Defend the knight and prepare to defend the second rank with rook e2 if rook checked him on d2, simultaneously offering a rook trade.

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Nice spot - that looks best. The rook trade probably isn't good for Black...not sure why I had so much trouble on that move. I also noticed I had a cool shot at 11:30 with Nxf7! or Nxb7! in response to ...Rxe5. Didn't even consider these counterattacks!

[@KF1]

You can take the tiger out of the jungle, but you cant, um, keep John in a can. Safari time.

[@MrBehavior323]

8:25 for a second I thought this was a person screaming

[@nickd5422]

5.5 is still respectable all things considered!

[@gordonmelrose2514]

what is your best titles Tuesday result john? I love watching everyone who streams Tilted Tuesday i think it is the bet content.. well except for the 2024 candidates that is. i love your videos though john you always help me to relax so thank you

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thank you, Gordon - glad you like the TT streams! Appreciate you following my videos. I believe my best result is 7.5/11 or 8/11. I got a top 10 finish once, which you can find in my Titled Tuesday playlist. Thanks again for watching and commenting!

[@b25671]

The produced audio is fine, don't worry. The recorded audio was also good enough.

[@DeathEaterLink]

I love John's cackling at 1:14:14

[@oskarbergmann7039]

FINALLY TITLED TUESDAY AGAIN.

[@JustinB_Oz]

You should sell that jumper as merch.

[@62calum]

Hi John been a while. Good to see you still playing and enjoying chess.

[@hidoisensei]

I thought thr audio sounded fine. Don't worry about it too much!

[@walterbrownstone8017]

The audio wasn't too bad.

[@thePen_and_theSword]

hey man, these things happen

[@BamThwok76]

pushing 2800!?! you're a GM in my 1200 eyes

[@rudiausbuddeln7573]

No worries Buddy

[@basidhfareeth7757]

Spoiler : Johns next upcoming Master course will be on the Microphone gambit.

[@optimalbrand]

Game 7 player requires The Procedure

[@wasupmahnicuh]

You’re way too hard on yourself for the mic issue haha. But also glad you have that mic 😅

[@syndicator5193]

You might respect the Tony Miles special but I'd feel like I was being disrespected and feel the need to play overly aggressive toward it, funny how psychology can make you over play your own hand. Certainly Sicilian-esque position arises as a result.
