Titled Tuesday: Can I Beat My Best Score!?

[@GLOKD]

"I'd wake up in a cold sweat if Danny Rensch was coaching me" lmfao

[@bobbychess5652]

who needs candidates when i can watch simon!

[@OmarDavidPerez]

Makes a move. “He’s got knight here, fck.” Makes another move. “He’s got rook here , fkin hell”😂😂😂😂

[@SilentKnight-89]

Simon is the only chess master that can make 2 hours of Chess fun.

[@CScott-wh5yk]

Simon, you are by far the most entertaining chess streamer ❤

[@esotericist9]

Smug old bloody Rensch computer: "Mmm yesss, you played a very competitive game." Simon: "Fuck off, Danny." Love it! 🤣

[@ingosteinhaeuser9535]

This TT had everything. A win against Gata Kamsky and some action with the cat 🐈. Thank you, Simon! You are simply the best !

[@adam_meade]

Things always go bad when Diesel the cat shows up. Must be impossible to concentrate.

[@torrawel]

We should all give Simon credit for being a true animal friend. I would have been so angry at it! 😂😂😂

[@loeksnokes3658]

Brilliant!!! Good job vs Kamsky, and hanging in there long enough on last game...

[@Thaddeus9287]

Love watching you play Simon - been a fan of yours awhile but my first time commenting here. I picked up the Dutch because of you and love your style so much I also bought your courses on the Iron English and the Black Lion on chessable as well (bought the paperback books to go with them). I loved your beautiful sacrifice in the Reykjavic open last year as well - What an immortal game! In a fever dream I'll visit England some day and run into you and play a drunk game against you in some coffeehouse or pub.

[@wce-tube]

Perfect plan, mate! 😂

[@blibup]

Taking down Gata like that, you're gonna have to join the zoom call again next week 🤣

[@hanspeters4948]

Simon these vids make my week so much better. Keep it up champ. Cheers

[@edf9577]

Clearly a country mile better than any other titled Tuesday coverage ! Truly brilliant. Thanx as always Simon

[@Perceo101]

Thank you for uploading regularly 🤠

[@geraldruiz2911]

Great stuff Simon! Wish you still did private coaching. You have a talent for explaining things.

[@markwinter152]

"Coach go and learn some lessons please, don't coach me!" 🤣 30:00

[@Googie-theythem]

Great to see the healthier lifestyle is paying off. Your thinking seems sharper and your play is much faster. 👍 My cat was questioning why you didn't let diesel in straight away. Good luck with the training Simon! 🥊

[@SteveNoverini]

Simon you need to do burpees everyday to prepare for your fight!

[@terryleddra1973]

I completely lost it @41:26 🤣

[@wce-tube]

😂😂😂

[@Cruz0e]

nice game against Gata, you are a legend ! 💯

[@JacobScott0000]

The charismatic underdog takes a big scalp! Bravo mate 💪🏻

[@KF1]

Eye of the tiger, Simon! Nice moves

[@WhatTheForkChess]

That's a very impressive win against Kamsky, maybe the most impressive you've had in TT since the one against Xiong. GG Simon

[@Sons_Brad_Dalton]

SIMON! I love these videos. Thank you

[@topgunbass]

Very enjoyable and had quite a few laughs. You played well. Thanks for the video.

[@davidf7406]

class!! So happy when Simon clinched the win v Kamsky

[@four_swords]

R.e. Caffeine I was just the same Simon - drank coffee and tea pretty much non-stop from the first one watching the 1988 FA cup final as a fellow 8 year old. Gave both up in 2022 for a year and noticed a dramatic improvement in sleep and alertness (going to bed tired, waking up awake). Switched to decaf for both towards the end of last year and it’s win-win - tastes just the same but without the baggage

[@howard5992]

coffee is hard to quit - I can get past the physical withdrawal ( I tapered down over 10 weeks ) but couldn't get past being in a poor mood I know the answer is TIME but it was discouraging to be irritable and moody

[@rudi5764]

What a video. Thank you so much Simon!

[@rudi5764]

Great chess and great video, please give us many more titled tuesdays.

[@loeksnokes3658]

The screen talks back when you have enough coffee... :)

[@THH147]

I'm simple, if the video length indicates you probably didn't rage quit, I will definitely watch!

[@richieallen1833]

😂 Really enjoyed that . Only Simon can make chess so much fun

[@slagorourke]

Simon Chess boxing? I'm there for that! Wonder who the opponent is? I hear Lennox Lewis likes a game of chess...

[@PriveGitaarles]

Dude your chess pieces are totally on fire

[@gboazz1]

Always a treat to watch you play dear Simon!

[@Scenery505]

Why don’t you stream these, always fun to watch.

[@josketobben]

Twitch chat is even more distraction on top, plus Simon has dyslexia. TT is hard enough as is, innit?

[@syndicator5193]

Simon, I'd like to pick up your black lion course some time in the future...I've read one of your chess puzzle books and my rating online is struggling to get over 2000, so I'm wondering do you have any materials that aren't opening based that you would recommend someone I'm guessing my real rating to be in the 1800 range that could help me develop to the expert 2000-2100 range?

[@PooPoop-rn9ys]

suprised you’ve not heard of Jaime Latasa he’s been a 2650-2700 level gm for a while now

[@mcpartridgeboy]

that kamsky game ! well played sir !

[@brendanpolk6038]

Love these uploads dude, wish they were more consistent!

[@the0cool0guy]

Amazing games. You are so fun Simon!

[@alextodd429]

Finished work, Hikaru live at the Candidates and GingerGM are my recommendations and of course I’m going blitz with Simon! This is the best chess content on YT!

[@jms4406]

I started playing linger games again. Almost 1900 been 2060 before, but totally just tanked my blitz rating from 1900s to 1600s and don't know how. Hopefully long games will bring it back

[@Roydeboy31]

Mate I love watching your streams.. I mental chess with extremely funny commentary.. Keep it up mate.

[@dmythica]

Hey Simon. Do you still stream in twich? I miss that time.

[@homero3928]

He said some weeks ago that he doesn't enjoy streaming TT "with a crowd" that much, as far as I can remember. And he does consider coming back to twitch in a while, but the 'when' is not certain yet

[@mcpartridgeboy]

good luck with the boxing Simon, we are the same age , and boxng at 44 is tough.

[@Alresu]

Found your channel yesterday. I like your attitude of still playing suboptimally for fun rounds :)

[@juhonieminen4219]

29:32 "This malarkey! I don't wanna be coached by Danny Rensch! I'd wake up in cold sweat..."

[@LoFiSymphony]

Simon winning in a time scramble against a chess legend? I think I can hear the Horns of Jericho, the apocalypse draws nigh.

[@magic_hotel]

Bf3 looked interesting at 1:24:30. Some nice games. Thanks for posting.

[@CScott-wh5yk]

Some epic games, Simon 👏🏻

[@kw7145]

That cat was not having it 😂

[@MatthieuSCHREK]

That thumbnail though !

[@Joe-zu7lx]

Thanks for going all the way!

[@garp9433]

I love you Simon but I was, I hate to admit this, surprised you beat gata because he’s such a fucking legend but god damn that was a fucking brilliant game. Cheers!!

[@jakemoon9939]

Come on people. Like and subscribe. Put that in your pipe and smoke it son

[@ronniemacdonald2768]

"Can we sac? Well we can but it's shit." Wise and funny words.

[@moosewild4239]

Always fun to watch. Great games.

[@zzashkittyzzonna2474]

Life is good whenever see video from gingergm

[@parlabaneisback]

Chess boxing - isn't that when you put the pieces away after a game? Never knew it was competitive.

[@LoFiSymphony]

The most Simon quote of all time "the good thing about not having pawns is"

[@Durian_Defense]

Cat's gotta walk the Simon. That last game ... wow!!

[@fburton8]

Simon - If you ever get another cat, you could call him Gato Kamsky (or Gata if it's female).

[@AgentSmith911]

That Gata game was fun!

[@kriss-m]

We really need a soundboard of all these amazing one liners.

[@VF7777-j5k]

Peculiar thumbnail for this vid 😂

[@toasterdestodes8034]

Propably visiting the pawn hub :)

[@andrei92599]

"If I can marry my dragon bishop and have little dragon bishop babies, I would. Give me little dragon bishop babies..." - GingerGM, 2024 1:00:18

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

50:28 its funny how Simon's chess culture doesn't even remotely let him see a simple move like Bxd4. Giving up a fianchettoed dark squared bishop isnt even a candidate move in his mind! Fascinating stuff.

[@Kosta110]

Congratulations on beating Gata Kamsky. I hope he doesn’t report you, he’s even bigger paranoic than Kramnik.

[@adam_meade]

Amazing thumbnail on this one

[@LeeSavill]

Felt the Drunken Knight on Acid 😎going the world variation was a fascinating fun aggressive variation of the sodium attack and Simon as always was so entertaining and he started singing with the opening lines of Madness House of fun says it all , That’s the way I Wanna Rock n roll

[@magic_hotel]

I'll look forward to you walloping Lozza and Aman at the old chess boxing. Or maybe Ben if someone can lift him into the ring. I'm surprised The Gorm hasn't given it a try, thinking back to his Olympiad misdemeanors. He might be a natural!

[@MeditateXYoga]

good game good performance Simon

[@GLOKD]

"Going backwards is for wimps! and..... basically wimps" lmfao.

[@LoffysDomain]

Came for that thumbnail, stayed for the chess

[@howard5992]

that thumbnail was a bit...explicit

[@smott7730]

Good stuff

[@jackgaughan2039]

Thanks as usual

[@rococo9194]

🎉

[@chrisd6982]

1:00 " Double Muppetry" Ha! Why can't the opponent take the knight with his queen anyway? Good win anyhow.

[@the0cool0guy]

The Diesel gambit got ya!

[@MaxWright7]

You never know if you are playing Kramnik.

[@fredgandolfi2356]

I have to believe if Tal were alive this would be his favorite streamer.

[@JamesDuBois-e6z]

Good one against Kamsky!

[@romekingcool]

Fckin love your videos Simon - my girlfriend cant believe I am laughing my ass off watching chess xD

[@MurrayHerts]

no tt vid this week?

[@BamThwok76]

I'm ready!

[@Zazzozle]

Diesel always showing up at the wrong time 🤣.

[@terrobert]

I wish i knew chess better.... Those were some bonkers games

[@ArashBizhanzadeh]

Goooo Simon

[@maoropizzagalli4153]

The dragon bishop babies got me laughin

[@hellooohowareudoing]

the way your mouse moves inbetween moves give me an anxiety 😆

[@trayhorn]

"I want to marry my dragon bishop and we'll have dragon babies" 😂

[@MasDingos]

I about did a spit-take at 1:18:00 Simon... please write a book of your 60 most vicious, 'put that in your pipe, son!, attacking games titled "Paper Maché on Board"

[@jsammo6528]

Just.. awesome

[@tomkitching]

Glorious entertainment

[@cmu6443]

Once seen, thumbnail cannot be unseen

[@danmertz3734]

Go Simon

[@JamesDuBois-e6z]

Funny, Coach Danny...

[@lukecain756]

Walk the cat Simon?

[@mphailey]

Hi Diesel!!!
