Gratz to the new British Heavyweight Chess Boxing Champion!!!
@Sparkinside-wp5wr4 ай бұрын
Simon you are a total inspiration, a fucking legend! Even though I didn't get to watch your bout , it clashed with the England game grrrrr, your humility in victory is an example to us all. Having boxed when I was in the army, I know how bloody hard it is, but to box with a broken nose is simply heroic. I cannot wait to see the whole show . Oh, and kudos to the two supporters who travelled all the way from the US and Brazil. See how much we love you?!

Good on you Simon! Don’t worry about being outboxed. You had your advantages and he had his. And don’t worry about the clocks being off. That’s not your fault. Nothing you could have done about it. You were focused on checkmate and staying on your feet.

The "Brain-Damaged Gambit" against legendary American hustler Asa Hoffman (The Ware Opening 1. a4, Preston Ware was like the 19th century American Michael Basman). You bamboozled into him into tactical oblivion, true to your form. Screwing in Ng6! had to have felt damn good. This is the content we come for!

You looked really good in the ring and on the board simon. Yes the other guy definitely had the edge in boxing..but you showed good technique. When you start taking too much damage.. don't be afraid to clench and lock up. Ali was infamous for it along with other greats. I think you needed a lil more offense and put him on the back foot. But your guard looked decent. He just slipped a couple good shots in. But you did absolutely fine. Love you simon and all of your teachings. The killer dutch champion.

Kudos for getting in the ring Simon. He was clearly the better boxer but your GM trickery on the board, winning from Queen down was impressive, given how hard it must be to play after a hard round of boxing. Please challenge Gotham next, somebody needs to put him in his place!

I know im going to sound like a worried grand pa, but i think this chess boxing thing is nonsense. Not healthy and dangerous for people who is not use to get hit in the head very often like chess players. I dont know how is this even legal. Sorry i had to say it. Im your huge fan Simon, dont comment very often i just watch and like but this time i just wanted to share my thoughts about the subject. I think u should not do it again, u are one of the greatest chess commentators ever and a great chess player, and you are a legend at what you are doing, believe me, just stick to chess but only chess please, there is no need to risk your health.
