Speed Run - Finding Mistakes #1 - Typical mistakes played at lower levels

[@harrychess9532]

This guy is the reason why i still play and watch chess.

He always inspires me. More than most people, because he tries to educate people at all levels.

[@benH215]

Agreed. His style of teaching in his videos are unlike anyone else. Superb.

@@KironKabir It's just that Simon doesn't work for chesscom anymore and gets more exposure on Lichess. It's a smart move by him, seeing as 99% of the chess world loves Lichess anyway

[@self-righteousideologue9398]

It's too bad he had to bring up his Trump bias in a recent video. He said the word "Trump" in an offhand sentence and right away had to clarify, "not Donald Trump, I hate him." It's like okay dude... He's out of office, you can take the bag off your head and breathe normal again. But besides his TDS, yeah, I like his videos EDIT: I think it was this video, actually. I've been watching a few of his today so I got confused.

Premature Attackulation.... You've just won the Internet with that one.

I love the way GingerGM explains chess, so glad he’s doing a speed run.

[@ndumisomtshali383]

I have been waiting forever for this.

[@milkyBK370]

Great idea for a series. I'd prefer 5 minute games so you have more time to explain your ideas in a given position.

[@afzalmistry6597]

Agreed, although more cheats at that time limit maybe?

[@milkyBK370]

@@afzalmistry6597 they tend to appear more in the 10 minute rapid games I find... I think a lot of the mistakes the Simons opponents are making here are down to trying to play too fast when they're not experienced enough to do so.

This was great, I hope you do more. Obviously I know GM's are great when they're beating other GM's, but for me nothing puts into perspective just how good these people are when I see them utterly dismantling ≈2000 rated players. My uncle's around that and he's like a god to me, yet Simon's out here casually beating them in 16 moves.

@@feitanuwu2584 idk. I don't play them myself and I don't particularly struggle with them. I don't study hardly any theory, so the really theory intensive openings cause me the most grief.

[@JohnWilliamShatner]

In a lot of speedruns the opponents get their rating back, don't know if that is happening here because I've never watched one on lichess

[@charliestjohn7912]

I love this new series! You learn so much in how to think and analyse. Thank you GGM and please do more!

[@matteovrizzi]

Yes!! this educational speedrun is a fantastic idea and i can't wait to see more on this series. Well done Ginger!

[@jikrochmal1174]

You seem to be the only person who can state these simple principles that I've heard a million times in a way that I actually learn anything. Many thanks!

I was really hoping Ginger GM would do this type of video series, looking forward to future episodes. Thankyou 💡

[@dougveganparadisebuilder5808]

It's a joy to see Simon mop the floor with his chess. But of course he is a GM and not a PM like most of us. PM = Piece Mover

[@lmb1931]

LOL!!!! "Premature Attaculation." That alone was worth watching! Another great video from GingerGM!

[@jimkyle8008]

I really enjoyed watching this, although I never play 3- or 5- minute chess myself because I simply can't think fast enough to play sensibly without blundering. A longer time limit gives me time to make plans, which is why I love Simon's longer games videos. Having said that, his speedrun games are also very useful for pointing out typical mistakes made by lower- rated players.

[@honeychurchgipsy6]

@Jim Kyle - me too - I see no point in playing endless really fast games only to continually make the same errors - there are bots to do that with - lol!!

[@nat-moody]

Simon showing his class. Great chess to watch and learn from. Cheers

[@Alexableizationable]

[@danielp6984]

Absolutely loved this! Just discovered you and although my chess is poor, I completely understood all the fundamentals you said and although I can't do most of what you are saying, I'm sure this will clear up a couple of my issues (ELO 325). Subscribed with pleasure.

[@fintan9218]

Thanks Simon! Good to see you on Lichess as well. I learnt chess watching your content esp on the dutch and london. Keep it coming

[@Kalos00]

This is the kind of content which is invaluable! You explain the ideas in a very clear way.

[@adrianswriting]

The idea at 22:35 to think about the opponent's plan and proactively move against it was excellent advice. Also, the three move win against the London was hilarious! :D

Hi Simon! Firstly, very nice idea this "speed run", keep going. Secondly, I would love to see a Bird's Opening or "polar bear system" opening from you. Thanks a lot. Cheers

[@cgdata9213]

You can not imagine how thankful for this video I am, it's like a getting a private lesson from a GM, spotting mistakes in regular games. But seeing how you thrash 2000s in a few moves is depressing, showing how bad the 1700s like myself are.

[@magic_hotel]

Valuable advice. What ever time I currently spend considering my opponent's plan, it's not enough. Usually I will end up conceding key squares. It's a tricky balance though. In blitz, without GM auto-technique, I do need to conserve time for the latter stages and that requires moving on impulse quite often.

Great job Simon! Looking forward for new speedrun vids.

[@davidburton918]

Simon thankyou !! Your style is how chess should be ..not eeking out a draw but pure entertainment ..I always try to take my opponent uncomfortable by playing unusual moves to takre him out of their comfort zone .... I am not a GM though & sometimes it pays off , sometimes not ...but I enjoy !!! and hopefully entertain as well ... I never play my openings pre-determined, fluidity, randomness, dynamic hopefully .... I heard a rumour that there where things called 'main lines ' & 'end games ' .... fake news i believe !!!!!!

[@unknown6000]

This was actually really instructive for me. I'm a 1700 rated bullet/blitz player and due to playing with quite low time controls I just tend to premove my openings. Most of the time this works because I've tried to learn what my opponents usually play, but if the opponent does anything out of the ordinary I'm usually in big trouble. Maybe I should take my time in the openings too, rather than spending it in positions where I'm already in trouble and have to think just to survive.

[@goodcuppaforme1193]

[@drijpsma]

Thanx for that, very instructive and entertaining! Always impressed how you spot tactics so quickly. 3 min Blitz is very blunder prone on lower level, because we normal people are not so quick... For explaining typical mistakes or concepts, perhaps take a little longer timecontrol like 5+

[@leoblum0631]

At 10.28, one could add that after Nf6, the very tempting Bxf7+ (at this playing level) is met by Kxf7, Qxd8 winning the Queen, but no: Bb4+ and Black is a piece up after Rxd8!

2:36 "His position is a SHAMBLES" that whole segment made me laugh. The way he tried to wave around his big...ego, and got unceremoniously crushed by the GINGA NINJA!

Props to BlueDrops! And series like this gets barely mediocre players like me interested. Ty Simon!

[@IQDose]

Next time do a speed run using only certain openings you made courses on. For instance, the London System and the Dutch. That will be very instructive and fun to watch.

[@hi9313]

Great series man cant wait to follow along, also you are the best

[@johnstoeckel9384]

Great stuff Simon! I've got all your chessable courses, you're the man!

[@jacks3134]

Awesome video!! I subbed because of this :). I personally would find it even more helpful if you dedicated each video to one opening for white and a select few for black and title the video as such, like “English opening themed speed run and mistakes”. That way we could learn the various different lines and commentary all the way. When you are bouncing about different openings it is harder for me to apply, compared to when it’s the one opening I am studying now. English opening is my favorite - so please do that one!! :)

[@gh0stgam1ng11]

Now that's some good content that I was missing till now :)

[@sanderdewulf3809]

This is a very nice way to get better, thanks!

[@raphaelhudson]

Fantastic Simon. I wish you could solidify your provisional rating in the relatively lower areas of 1700 odd lichess, or 1400 chess.com and play a good 30 mins blitz in that area. The problem with the speed run is that lichess quickly ramps up your rating, because that isn't a real rating.

[@TheKrazyLobster]

Lichess, the superior choice. So glad to have Simon there.
