Longer Games #28 Climbing the 2500 mountain... A Tussle in the Kings Gambit!

[@samcatsam]

Aldo's Ra7 was a so damn slick. --man, i love it when Simon gets on a tear when he's building an attack, that rising enthusiasm and the clock factoring in, it just builds and builds. goddamn i love these long games

[@aldocamilleri7331]

If there's one thing I know about Mr. Williams is that he can't stand to be the one not giving up the pawns. Which is why I knew I could bait him into a King's Gambit.....not that it did me any good.

[@jasondoe2596]

Haha! Despite the loss (no shame against a GM!) , that was a *very* nicely played game. Congrats!

[@matteovrizzi]

Love the subscriber at 10:19 a quote from La Strada by Fellini! And poor old Simon has no clue how to say it :)

[@enricopallazzo3244]

One of the most entertaining games I’ve watched on KZbin.

[@sprcow]

Great game, great analysis, very fun. Thanks for sharing this on KZbin for those of us that have a hard time catching the stream!

[@PinnedKnight]

i learned alot and were entertained at the same time. Thx Pappa Harry!

[@Filemonefly9]

I saw native warrior tribes sacrificing entire villages to make your essence come down, and play a long game in the Kings Gambit.

[@DarshanSenTheComposer]

2:56-if black played e4, Paul Morphy would've been happy

[@michaelvanzyl9418]

“Climbing a mountain by remaining stationary” 😂 nice rating gain

[@GingerGM]

Lol. I am a very slow climber...

[@tlee7653]

Awesome and thrilling ending

[@joonalaukkanen9660]

Now Simon, there's a lot of ratingpoints on the line. 😉 Don't lose to a 795. 😂

[@kadorakasu]

Damn, son! That last move is what we call a "Put that in your pipe, and smoke it!" Moment! Good show, sir! 🖖👏👏👏

[@threethrushes]

One pin to rule them all, One pin to find them, One pin to bring them all in, And on the board, checkmate them.

[@FuncraftVideos]

This was nuts

[@prisonerofrocknroll8250]

Nice game! I often play this line with c6/Bd6/Nge7 myself and think it's quite good. The pin on the a2/g8 diagonal was a killer, though. Simon, what's your opinion on the Adelaide Counter Gambit? Ever faced it? No less than Tony Miles called it the "refutation" of the KG. :-)

[@flpsnk4848]

That last move,.. that was a pity move :P

[@soinorman]

I love your games......It's down to your style.

[@georges64]

Fun Game, thx Simon!! (just a comment every time you slap the table it resonates in the mic -:) )

[@Robin-ly7ys]

very insightful :-)

[@MichelePonte]

So happy, I love your videos!

[@2001ffrlh2001]

Silly question. I'm coming to the UK (mainly London) what are some nice places to get a beer play some chess, meet ladies, etc. ? (cheap if possible, you know , that crazy exchange rate)

[@dilyan-2904]

Ginger are you interested in showmatch vs new A.I. leelaZero... Andrew Tank already played her and other streamers like Chess Network. She learns by self play, currently much weaker than top engines, very interesting playStyle.

[@magic_hotel]

Remove those viagra adverts, or risk your opponents putting up a stiffer resistance

[@bumpinugly4985]

Yes, you might get pounded with a hard game.

[@sooooooooDark]

1:06:00 tbh that knight move isnt that hard to see if u want counterplay i personally probably wouldve played knight to c6 trying to open up the black queen toward the white king tho (very similar motive in regards to defending the knight with the knight next move tho)

[@gofer123guy]

actually blitz can be very helpful for learning to quickly reject ideas provided you have a good system in place to start with that admittedly I don't because you have to find a playable move in much tighter time controls so getting hung up on a move for longer is actually much more punishing.

[@dilyan-2904]

Thankfully is great exciment opening.

[@TheRealBenJammin]

I've got a great book, "Chess: The End of the King´s Gambit?" by Ivan Salgado. I recommend it to everyone. He advocates the Schallop Defense. I am now happier than ever to get the King's Gambit with Black.

[@topgunbass]

Good video and game. You have to move faster. Just do everything you do but faster..lol.

[@danielspasov5234]

Nice one Si

[@mcpartridgeboy]

The pin is mightier than the sword

[@peinmilan]

Funny how you missed 13. Nc5 OTB and BOTH during the analysis. 13. Nf2 just dropped your evaluation by ~ -0.7 as compared to Nc5 in that position.

[@HarryIsTheHero]

At 41:38 did your opponent missed Nf5

[@josketobben]

Yes, we too have watched the analysis at the end.

[@HarryIsTheHero]

Joske Tobben actually I just watched the video till the point where his opponent resigned ...that's why I asked

[@stoneangel7804]

More !

[@Preposterous4]

most sppreciated

[@alpulley4894]

Falkbeer gambit on tap.

[@smar1k359]

At 38.6 Qxc6

[@sooooooooDark]

1:08:00 2 letters too much: not "golf" but "go" instead

[@xfilesmanson]

But I really am rated 795

[@bumpinugly4985]

Justin For chess.com, your Elo rating would be a lot higher.

[@SVP-uy9qb]

How is this guy grandmaster if he only has 2k elo?

[@wesmoto2550]

his actual elo is around 2500 in tournament.

[@randomroyale7016]

yeah can you play people stronger and please more youtube not just twitch

[@realways6173]

Stfu and listen, that guy he was playing is 2200
