Longer Chess Games #32 Climbing the 2500 mountain (slowly...) Dutch vs London System

[@atrichatterjee2299]

finally you made a video on dutch vs london system

[@elindauer]

Really instructive game and credit to the villain who played a strong game and forced a lot of ideas to be shown.

[@aayushshirodkar]

best ever plz make more

[@landrover4444]

Love these longer videos, really interesting. Thanks for uploading.

[@justin57153]

That attack is an example of why I'm subbed. No other chess streamer/YT channel does it quite like this.

[@paullaurance1991]

The adage "don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see" speaks volumes about the circles in which you move! Love the videos.

[@meechum]

This is a very good example of how to beat the london using the dutch. Hats off to you sir!

[@jimkyle8008]

Great explanations of your thought processes as always, Simon.

[@antaniserse]

Once again, your long play series proves to be highly entertaining and instructive... my favorite series along with "GM analysis" I feel a little guilty that i poured myself a White Russian in front of my chessboard while you were drinking vitamins, hope you don't mind ;)

[@jmanthirtyseven]

Love your long play videos.

[@-Mohog]

Great game Simon. I play both openings regularly and this was a good lesson. Hopefully I'll be able to remember some of the ideas in my own games as well.

[@tylerbrown9631]

Thanks for the long play video, and with the Dutch too! You rock Simon!

[@Hazy2425]

Fantastic game, fantastic commentary.

[@DeshDance]

This is one to be watched more than once with pen and paper! Thanks for a great game and clear description of your thoughts. I do have your Killer Dutch DVD too so this is great stuff. Much respect.

[@CatzNGaz]

Quite good elaboration on your thoughts... liked the fluid-like adaptations in your thinking process, grandmaster ginger flow like water

[@xaviserra2227]

Very good game with a beautiful ending. Thanks for your explanations

[@TheRovardotter]

Thought of an advice I got from a music teacher years ago: learn all the rules you can, and when you're done break them.

[@georges64]

Great game, great finish: thanks!!

[@adammundy8589]

PLEASE.........for the love of all things....do a Ratings Climb with the Dutch!!!!

[@AgentSmith911]

Excellent video as always Mr Williams

[@HRaz100]

Fantastic video - so instructive!!

[@-_Nuke_-]

You are excellent Ginger! Kudos!

[@richardfredlund3802]

that was a pleasure to watch, ... to quote the A-team ... "I love it when a plan comes together" (or it was something like that :) )

[@bobpeniless3214]

Fantastic video, enjoyed it a lot. Just goes to show how chess is fundamentally based on concrete calculation, we can talk all day about openings and middlegame strategies but in the end you needed to calculate the correct sequence in the finishing attack to turn a perpetual into a win.

[@jniemec]

Excellent video. Really enjoyed this one!

[@nikolaoskarountzos3172]

Interesting analysis.

[@jpg6296]

Your intro is so fucking heavy, man! Chess metalheads unite!

[@shreyathebest100]

Beautiful

[@pankajnegi2397]

Brilliant Mr. Williams

[@steelbreeze13]

Thank you for your work

[@modolief]

31:57 -- Here you play move 21..Nxg3. You speculated about Rxf2 for a minute. I thought this was a very interesting moment in the attack, so I asked Mr. Stockfish. At first he thought Nxg3 was the move, but then preferred Rxf2 because your Queen can come to h4, the Knight on h6 can go to f5, a bunch of pieces get traded, and your dreaded "fawn pawn" on g4 ends up going to g3 to win White's dark squared Bishop. Then it's an endgame of your bishop pair plus rook and queen vs his two rooks plus queen, with pawns here and there, and his King maybe a little more exposed. Advantage black (though not overwhelming). Here's the line at depth 35: 21...Rxf2 22.Kxf2 Qh4 23.Nf1 Nf5 24.Kg1 Nfxg3 25.Nxg3 Nxg3 26.Qxe6 Nxe2+ 27.Rxe2 g3 28.Bxg3 Qxg3 29.Rf1 Rg8 30.Rf7 Bc8 31.Qe4 Qg4 32.Qd3 d5 33.Ref2 Qg3 34.R2f3 Qd6 35.R3f4 Qd8 36.R4f6 Qxf6 37.Rxf6 Bxf6 38.e4 dxe4 39.Qxe4 Rf8 40.Qc6 Bd8 41.Qh6 Rf6 42.Qh5 Kg7 43.Qe8 Rd6 44.Qe3 Kf7 45.Qe4

[@lilslime3366]

Great video and love the shirt!

[@MrJohnSkelley]

I'm sure these days a more accurate expression would be " Put that in your Vaper and Vape it" Good game well played Simon. You are always entertaining.

[@Socrates...]

brilliant game, love it !

[@ZernixDK]

'Knights on the rim are dim' they say. Simon says:'Double Knights on h5 and h6 are full of trix'.

[@mattimicusshufflizecki10]

I think 39:10 Be5 was the best and after dxe5 you saw Qxf3+ but missed Qh3+ Kg1 Rg8+ Kf2 Qg2#. I guess yours worked as well :D

[@linear7612]

Voilà :-) nice one, Simon!

[@Danumurti18]

I got winning against stockfish lvl 6 on lichess, playing dutch by bishop d6 on 3rd move i guess (yes it'a blocking the central pawn), dark square bishops exchange. It's pretty strong and interesting too.

[@johannorman3067]

Excellent, thank you.

[@Stekbrek]

Thanks for the video.

[@MatteoGariglio]

"Voilà, put that in your pipe and learn from it" Epic quote 40:15

[@mohamedsameh23]

wow. I didn't believe this took 40 mins. very enjoyable

[@callmewisdom]

Not as entertaining as seeing Simon lose to engines but I guess a exciting and edcuational attacking game in my primary opening against d4 is ok as well... great stuff and thanks for these videos mate!

[@johnphamlore8073]

I guess the obvious question is whether someone using your course on the New Jobava London System were to play you playing the Dutch, would the Jobava London course even be relevant anymore? Especially if White against the Dutch should play c4 as soon as possible?

[@gavinthornton1591]

Good vid mate

[@RBG9000]

GingerGM Killer Retrograde Puzzles DAYVEEEDEEEEEE!!!!

[@toequantumspace]

Good game great finish - must be the fish oil!!

[@jasondoe2596]

Raymond Smullyan is* an amazing puzzle-maker! *edit:* was, I just checked :( "An American mathematician, magician, concert pianist, logician, Taoist, and philosopher", to quote Wikipedia, he wrote numerous books with mathematical, logical and non-traditional (retrograde) chess puzzles, that sometimes take *days* of analysis to solve, but guide the reader systematically in ingenious (and very amusing) ways. Absolute genius! I have one of his non-chess books, the amount of work that went into it is staggering. I should get the others, too.

[@sooooooooDark]

if u want to try some "vitamin" (or actually...mineral) that does indeed work (cuz its low in overfarmed soil) then try magnesium it relaxes u really nicely 🥰

[@threethrushes]

I have played the London System for about 4000-5000 blitz games, and I still have problems with annoying moves. GingerGM has a great DVD on the London, but I want a follow-up!

[@threethrushes]

piggypigpig Daily 1500. Blitz 1300-1450.

[@juangoodman1211]

bullet 1500 london very useful, and black lion too

[@TheRovardotter]

Nice game

[@Yami-The-Vault-Dweller]

Can get enough of this longer videos

[@WarDaddy2023]

Hi Simon, I like the Dutch and am really liking your videos. I am curious what you play against 1. e4. As I understand it, you cant play the Dutch against 1. e4, or is that incorrect?

[@modolief]

Knights on the rim are dim ... unless they're part of a Kingside storm coming down hard.

[@SuperYtc1]

22:54 so funny.

[@sleepy4x]

Please next video how to play the London System vs the Dutch.

[@leeblood9066]

Brilliant

[@soinorman]

Smooth

[@dd-lk5io]

That's a brilliant retrograde puzzle!

[@johnathangamble4539]

what do you play against 2.... Bg5? struggling here...

[@tinbadger8097]

Classic game:)

[@TheOmniscientAtheist]

Amazing video long play>>>blitz

[@gavinthornton1591]

When are you streaming tonight

[@callmewisdom]

Oh come on, that puzzle in the beginning was a cheapo. I spent quite some time on that and came to the conclusion that there is no solution... of course not knowing that you could also place a pawn. Tricky stuff!

[@malegupta8404]

thanks alot yaar simon yo uare the best best than eric rosen

[@michap2414]

Génial :))

[@DevN9007]

What's the outro music?

[@bumpinugly4985]

5:08

[@elindauer]

Scandal! GM Simon Williams admits he's playing chess on the fish oil!

[@Max-Everest]

...if you close your eyes and listen to this guy, every so often it sounds as though he is 120 years old. It's bizarre...

[@frankbrown6305]

What. No Harry.....

[@PinnedKnight]

Pappa Harry, Put my love for your videos in your pipe and smoke it!

[@nirvanajr2397]

😎😎😎👊

[@mattimicusshufflizecki10]

Simon can I suggest something. I'm not some computer geek but when you want to remove the arrows you draw just click an empty square, you kill me every time you click one of your pieces to remove an arrow, I always fear the mouseslip...

[@pratikchavan8057]

i was so gassed when you commented on my last comment

[@lilymandal8447]

pratik chavan what did he comment

[@pratikchavan8057]

Nothing special just a joke

[@yahya89able]

you are god aren't you ?

[@andrewedwards2838]

With your complexion and genetics, you are better off taking vitamin D. You are predisposed to a vitamin D deficiency. It'll help you with your skins inability to absorb the vitamin from the sun. Later in life, it'll help you stay sharp and help prevent things like MS.

[@leonard3115]

What, there's a reason there are so many red heads in Ireland and Russia, they're the least predisposed to vit D deficiencies

[@xtra9996]

Playing chess and drinking ... fish oil?

[@samuelbruyneel]

Did anyone else notice it took nearly half an hour until the first capture?

[@michaelbauers8800]
