[@2ecnub2]

Best chess commentator on web, most instructive and entertaining.

"He is incredibly fun! I can't believe he has fewer followers than the Croatian guy who's not nearly as fun!" (My gf being lured into the world of chess by ginger gm).

[@bobi5202]

looking refreshed simon energetic presentation and amazing ideas as always your videos have filled my head with a dozen tactical ideas that i can quickly recognize in my online games. brilliant stuff im slowly going through your dutch dvd and will get on to master method thereafter. keep it up buddy

[@Columbine-en3qc]

By far, this was the most exciting longer game!

[@MrAustinv100]

Tf is your name?

[@ajarnray4115]

Thank you so much for uploading another climbing the 2500 mountain video. I love this series and hope there will be many more.

[@etopowertwon]

This was a rollercoaster of emotions!

[@jamiechinnick9227]

Merry Christmas!!!! Cant get enough of you Simon!

[@Thelittleonesaid]

Good to have you back Simon.....Interesting game, reminds me of my own games, the blundering I mean :D

[@iambarrykatz]

Watching this in December 2021. Awesome content.

[@boceksiadam]

So glad this guy played legitimately and he almost took you down! Would have been the game of his life. Oh well, it's not like I don't know anything about blowing winning positions up.

[@DarshanSenTheComposer]

Beautiful game Simon! Great commentary! Just reached the big-ass blunder lol. Wow, nice way to get outta the mess man!

[@malegupta8404]

Mazaa AA gya

[@carpetclimber4027]

You're the best Simon. You enjoy chess even when screwing up, like we all do. You don't fool me with your groveling. You're British, so close to Scandinavian humour. You enjoy chess and we enjoy you. You have rain, we have snow.

[@Toinou666]

Stop banging on that bloody table simon ^^

[@FatPandaCries]

Great video Simon, appreciate your thoughts and insights during the game, and I enjoyed your blunder reaction as well as the kama sutra logo haha. Keep up the good work :)

[@tobeginn]

fun video, looks fine. cheeky opponent to exploit a blunder... I saw the game on chess.com, you recovered just fine . sharp tactics at the end

[@Mathview]

MERRY CHRISTMAS to you GM Williams! TY for all your excellent KZbin videos.

[@sooooooooDark]

7:40: "boom!!" 7:42: computer responds with a cute "boom" sound 🤗

[@kkalski]

SImon, love the video. One thing though. Everytime you drop your hand to the desk/table it makes a thumping sound. Any chance you could move your mic away or something to help that?

[@HallonThe]

Finally Simon! We want more videos!

[@sorentauberlassen]

Great vid! ;) You might want to do something about your mic. It picks up the bumps, when you hit the table.

[@adamsasso1]

That logo was worth waiting to the end of the video for.

[@ryanclark6244]

We missed you Simon!

[@ravikumarkothamasu]

Excellent knowledge u r having sir

[@MrYuryZ]

Welcome back, Simon. Thanks for the video. Great staff. I've learned a lot from your videos both blitz and longer games. Thank you very much. Although I have to agree with the previous comment about the mic. It does pick up the bumps when you hit the table. I don't know maybe it's just me watching with my headphones on? I don't know but it'a kind of annoying.

[@siamsama2983]

I didn’t even see the red grey red grey on your face until you mentioned it! Cool video :)

[@_Some_Guy_]

i need a porn break. been watching far too much

[@sinchaos5493]

Have you tried Smerdon's Scandinavian? Great book and attacking chess right up your alley.

[@6-4-3-DP]

Love your videos! When will you do another Rivals match? Those are my favorite!!

[@deepatel123]

Fina-Fucking-Ly!!!! Been waiting bloody ages for your next KZbin video!!!!!

[@jimkyle8008]

An interesting and instructive video. The new green screen setup worked very well, I thought. The blunder was unfortunate, but just shows how tricky it is to commentate at the same time as trying to play good moves. By the way, has anyone else noticed how often a strong player gets compensation after losing a piece?

[@lazr9672]

I never even thought of pawn to g3 I just learned something new today lol

[@nofanfelani6924]

Ahh, finally a new video

[@dogukanozdemir7917]

where have you been man! we missed you.

[@ProgrammingLinguist]

Yo Simon Unrelated to the video: Longtime watcher here, after playing the semi-slav/slav defense pretty much exclusively against 1. d4 or c4 or nf3 for years, I've finally tried the dutch and it's amazingly fun. All this time I thought it was too weird, but it's fantastic. That's all I've got to say. Also nice dutch book.

[@malegupta8404]

Outstanding vidoe once again that a lot Simon sir you are the best

[@briandwi2504]

Massively entertaining! Hilarious!

[@declanesquire]

YOUR BACK!!! love it!! get some good backgrounds that arent too bright or overpowering though as its kind of distracting, also i think the mic is too close to the table because it keeps banging, otherise, good to see you again and keep this vids coming!

[@IanTakats]

Loved the sacrifices to get the win... :-)

[@outputcoupler7819]

Quite a nice recovery from that blunder. Thought your rook was a goner.

[@ImAlwaysR1ght]

Someone photoshop Simon and Ben Finegold as the championship logo. Happy nightmares all.

[@danielgoldman5185]

what do you think of alphazero?

[@mrengler1]

20:26 excellent advice

[@cengizyldrm2428]

6:22 When you sacrifice all of your pieces and checkmate opponent's king

[@rittervsp]

Sharp and instructive video, thank you! Can you please play 4-players chess?

[@gromheartofthebeast7188]

That's incredible.Can you play KID for black in another video,please?

[@SuedeStonn]

Gotta admit, that logo is a bit suggestive and silly... but hey, someone made it and it got used so good for them. :l And as usual a great video, funny and instructive is the best combination. ;}

[@kittydevine3479]

Simon, I love classic dutch, and am learning it from you , but I have a question, if white plays E4 as their first move? I havent been able to solve this

[@teo5146]

Hey GM Williams thank you for sharing the game and your thoughts with us. I was wondering about your rating and since I have not yet watched the other videos I assume you are either climbing up the ladder as the title suggests or a victim of a cheater as might have been hinted at the beginning of the video when you said you were paranoid. By the way, I will start playing the London system and your videos have been of great help.

[@markwaterfield740]

31:15 he plays an intermezzo, you could play an inter-intermezzo with Rg7+

[@doggy-chess2691]

No London System? Damn that's unfortunate, I was hoping to get a free lesson on the London System. I guess it's best to play multiple openings to help everyone though ;)

[@themelc]

Thanks for this instructive game. The experience of watching it would have be x1000 times better if you weren't punching the mic throughout the recording. Please consider a suspended mic setup or a clip on mic for your future videos, or some self control :)) I think the red/gray flicker on your face is due to your authentic, 100% pure breed ginger beard. The camera can only handle so much red at one time. After your blundered you had more red in your cheeks and it stopped flickering! :D

[@hiw101]

GREAT JOB!

[@adnandev_]

Feedback: You can improve the template like changing the dark grey color of the background to dark blue or even black, and the spacing between the elements and texts..etc

[@SahunHong]

8:20 BLACK MIRROR WHITE BEAR

[@markwaterfield740]

around 23:00 was Be3 after black played Qg6 not a good defensive move? To cut the losses.

[@saintsaens21]

Sweet 1080p, makes your beard stand out. Kamasutra logo might just help to popularize chess he he

[@tommonk7651]

Simon, I noticed people in this comment section mentioned the AlphaZero situation. What do you think about AlphaZero's determination that the English Opening is best for white?

[@garfieldbrooks6987]

Welcome back!

[@vga1232]

Instead of the bad Bh6, what if you played Nxd6 threatening his queen?

[@z17seattle]

SIMON IS BACK!!!!!!

[@z17seattle]

I don't think anyone in the world understands Harry's needs and desires quite like Simon

[@benfrydman716]

Make an analysis of alphazero vs stockfish

[@benfrydman716]

60 frames a minute

[@someguysomeone1209]

Ben Frydman wow thats like 1 frame a second ! holy shit

[@WolfusMandrago]

Thank you for posting the video. I enjoy all the long game videos. Perhaps some respect for opponents who do not cheat would be ideal. Hope your next game(s) go well!

[@siddharthb2633]

who is playing the base drum in the background?

[@emielvandewiele1958]

I was wondering about Qd7 instead of h6 for black, forcing g5 while the pawn is still on h6, if you play f3 there he can again play h5 and after g5 Ng4 Bd2 he can try f5 maybe. Obviously the move itself looks very ugly :)

[@HipHopAn0n]

Opponent resigned out of demoralization. Still some moves left

[@jahanzebsohail656]

very nice setup but please change the theme of chess board . use the board which is used in chess.com videos with white and green board

[@guillermoblanco8056]

Hey! You're back! I'm glad. What's with the guy grabbing his foot on the backgroung image? Nice porn logo btw. Very spicy.

[@warnaoh]

Would it be possible to get the link of the game or the pgn ?

[@warnaoh]

Thanks a lot !!!

[@sirk390]

The logo is not a mistake: boingboing.net/2017/12/19/what-is-the-2018-world-chess-c.html

[@soinorman]

Stop banging. But welcome back

[@MattiasDooreman]

Harry!

[@leonardosouza9434]

I lost a game yesterday playing this line 😂😂

[@Socrates...]

Please spend a video talking about alpha zero

[@muhammadrizwan1223]

You were not happy with computer analysis.Now it is proved by Alpha zero. I wish to see comments of you for Alphazero.

[@FumblkruschLP]

Yes, yes, yes yes. Soo much yes. Please make a video about AlphaZero.

[@BadHabitMarco]

Educate yourself first, talk later.

[@eberechieze9030]

Other then yourself, how many grandmasters have been inside fiona?

[@KayOScode]

60 frames per minute lol. = 1 frame per second

[@threethrushes]

Sacrifice? Chin rub :)

[@aparetix]

[@antonblue11]

HARRYYYYYY

[@Шахматюги]

love KID as black ^^ P.S. Chess pornography you talked about: worldchess.com/2017/12/17/branding-for-the-2018-match-unveiled

[@number94]

Misspelling. They asked the designer to include porn.

[@FlyingWild]

maybe simon, you should consider to rename yourself to "blunderGM" ? :-)

[@claucometa]

Your problems started when you went to trade your good Bishop by the bad one... You should develop your bad knight first... to E2. And you would be fine.

[@z17seattle]

Claudio Moraes he shud pay u for lessons lmao

[@lukeempty3386]

at last

[@Infamous_V.I.P]

Simon Simon Simon. You sound like a GM move after move but then each game out of nowhere you throw in some random noob move or 2 and get yourself in trouble.

[@ayqooi]

Thousand 80 p and 60 frames a minute. LOL. Love your chess videos tho, even if you don’t seem to be playing at GM level at the moment 😁

[@kringe7783]

LOL

[@amorfati555]

Not a very interesting game, mistakes on both sides...
