"Many great people in this tournament, and Hikaru" 😂

[@_AGX111]

In the last game after he played e5 I was actually screaming at the TV 'PIN THE BISHOP! PIN THE BISHOP' rooting for you - well done on a great TItled Tuesday!!!!

[@zizhdizzabagus456]

Yeah he missed that simple move. But it's ok

[@JeffPHamm]

You and me both!

[@Davidaspe]

Same here! 😂

[@Boffin55]

I'm an 1100 and I was screaming too

[@torrawel]

😂 Joining! 😂

[@Mr-fy6zb]

At 1:50:53, "16th!!!, say it one more time!" It says 12th the whole time, I was fricking crying lmao. "It's getting better!" Most typical Simon moment ever. Great performance, Simon

[@ctriamimgons]

lmao😂

[@slagorourke]

I was as nervous as Simon in that last game. Really wanted to see him win that one. Nice one, Simon!

[@RaceLogik]

Same! 👏👏👏

[@tristansnow]

I think your mentality was really strong this tournament. Rather than breaking down after a tough loss in time trouble, you rallied! I'm pumped vicariously. Love seeing you win. Thanks Simon.

[@dracandros]

That was as smooth as a slick piece of snow sliding like a sledge on a slope 👍

[@theuobtube]

"let's not worry about the king"... another cracking video

[@kohop9219]

"The bastards tricked me" 😂 you're a legend mate

[@Para-rt9uk]

11th Principle of chess: 'Lets not worry about our King'. Ginger GM

[@MichaelMartin-lv6fs]

That is the best youtube content out there. Thank you Simon.

[@liamwickins9450]

Great performance Simon! And you had winning positions in two games that you lost in time scrambles. That was a 10.5/11 performance in my mind!

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

Had he won those he wouldve gotten stronger opposition and surely lost some more games, in the end swiss system works out to give each player exactly the score they deserved

[@natalyawoop4263]

All that training Simon did for boxing seems to be paying off mentally

[@wlyTheEverydayWorld]

I was on the absolute edge of my seat for that whole last game. Huge congrats! PLUS SIX! And the best part is, you did it your way. "We're gonna have to gambit it"

[@liamwickins9450]

Like a tornado on acid is now my favourite quote.

[@offtopwiteez]

Who needs Hikaru's skill when you're the heavyweight champion chess boxer and a 2900 flag knowser.

[@patrick4841]

Simon plays the absolute craziest things and we love it! Best chess streamer!

[@ezequielnazario6544]

"I've lost 30 seconds talking nonsense as usual but at least harry is flying off the board like a tornado on acid" 😂 we love you man. I would love to have a pint with this guy. Greetings from Spain!

[@mphailey]

I love when you post these! Thank you Simon

[@gregoryiuzzolino5997]

I so enjoy watching Simon play chess. Your a breath of fresh air Simon! Keep it up!

[@MamboRasco]

Well done Simon, and don't forget that you had some good losses also. On man your benko reminded me of your old d4 dvd, I have to watchbit again. Keep it up.

[@esotericist9]

Good to see Harry's back in the game. Haven't seen him pushed up any bums lately and was getting worried.

[@frankhaviland5665]

This is the highlight of my week. Well done Simon, cheering for you all the way!

[@homero3928]

Congrats Simon! Well done!!

[@elindauer]

I like the "smooth as a sledge on a sleigh" image. It describes your chess well actually. Cruising along nicely for a bit and then ... chaos!

[@MatthewCROMWELL-z8x]

That has made by week.... Not just the score, but the joy and passion for the game and the emotional rollercoaster.....

[@richieallen1833]

Well done Simon , that was really entertaining. Loved to see Harry cruising up the aisle

[@gianfraara321]

Italian here, and in Rome we say DAJE FORTISSIMO!! Great job!

[@justinjawor9454]

Well done, Simon. I watch many a video cheering for you to make 8.5 and you finally did it. Glad I saw it, congrats! Learned a lot from watching you play! Thanks for the laughs!

[@waitz27]

Well played squire!! When you mished that pin on the bishop in the last game my heart sunk but you pulled it out of the bag. Genuinely delighted for you Simon. Great entertainment as always.

[@edf9577]

Brilliant stuff Simon !! Special Brew, Tenents Super, moist pawns, Black Lion slaughter. It's all here and record score. Fkn bravo man 😅

[@Xialo_Universe_Art]

That last game was a butt clencher though, GGs Simon!

[@magic_hotel]

The best KZbin channel! I remember Tennants Super from my youth. It tasted like rocket fuel, but went down better than Carlsberg Special.

[@davinconvey6887]

Brilliant Simon! You had a real fighting spirit this week with some gutsy moves too!

[@Torgarden]

Oh man, my fav. episode. Cracking the oldest record in your streaming history. Praising Tennent’s, We had a chat about Tenent in your christmas streaming 1,5 years ago… I was in Bologna - Italy - for christmas eve. I never understood why you knew so much about Tennents. It was your brother…haha You nailed it today, Simon. 8.5 (12th place) was in the lower end. Congrats!

[@bulumacpaul8917]

I was cheering for you like crazy 😂 Get in there, son 😂

[@TSMC123]

Son*

[@bulumacpaul8917]

@@TSMC123of course, corrected 🤪

[@majororgans]

Great job Sensei! That last game I held my breath for the whole 7 min

[@Golly1969]

That was the most exciting TT yet! Looking forward to watching next week. Thanks for providing the best chess content on the internet.

[@juleslondon3088]

Congratulations Simon. 🎉 Persistence pays off. I really like the attacking chess with a nod to being solid and positional (sometimes). There’s a lot to learn from your dynamic style, embracing the imbalances and complexity and holding onto the initiative for dear life. Probably too much for my old, fried brain but I coach my son who’s scarily good at that kind of stuff.

[@gorillazfanjames]

Brilliant stuff - you deserved this (and probably more)!

[@AleaIactaEst2009]

Fantastic Simon. Well played sir! :)

[@parlabaneisback]

Congratulations and thanks for the entertainment! Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be watching this GingerGM Titled Tuesday was very heaven.

[@KancerKowboy]

Great job!! Like how you play chess. You are one of the more exciting players to watch cause you put it all on the line! Really happy to see you perform here. Your unorthodox openings really put your opponents on their heels. Especially in blitz! I can almost imagine what they are thinking/screaming by how long they calculate.

[@TheUnperson]

Well done Simon! You were clearly in the mood today.

[@Seanus32]

@1:47:52 - Rb6 just wins the Bishop. Some VG games here overall.

[@TheDeadsilent]

I was yelling at my screen haha

[@bipinanand]

What a highly entertaining 1h52m12s! Smashed it mate. Well done. I'm here for this every week! Thank you for making chess FUN!

[@coolbeans8682]

Never in doubt!

[@kisma8362]

Top chess content by far!

[@timmarshall4881]

Well done Simon. Pleased for you. Love and peace. Tim

[@Thaddeus9287]

Amazing performance Simon. I was on the edge of my seat the whole last game! Congrats!

[@gordonmelrose2514]

As a Scotsman, that comment about Tennent's super was just hilarious. Love your videos. Congrats on 8.5 points what an amazing chess player your are. Imagine how good you could be if you didnt drink special brew and Blue Tennents haha

[@hoegaarden2003]

Well played! The only thing missing was 'Mate the Sucker' soundtrack 😁

[@MikeColetti]

This was so good and so intense I felt like I was playing! Thank you. This was really great.

[@TheSpyIII]

Amazing Simon!! Brilliant video! Great to see you bring it home.

[@jessefox580]

BOOM!

[@Googie59-w2t]

Beautiful work. That Faustian deal kicking in lovely.

[@sagarbhandari4314]

Been following you since 2017 mate. I knew this was coming. Well done.

[@richclark5654]

Genuinely shared your elation at the end there. Congrats and thanks for the ever entertaining content.

[@playtimbo7345]

[@cwwiss1]

Magnificent performance Simon you didn't do your usual trick of getting bogged down on one move and losing on time 👍💪

[@sk1e]

Epic score, congrats

[@jamesbabkes1493]

Congratulations Simon

[@BamThwok76]

You kicked ass Simon! And to think, 2 of those games barely got away from you.
