[@iancoughlan5]

15.15. "He's playing the right moves as well. The fucker." Too funny.

[@okibelieveyou7553]

Best chess upload of the week is here

[@Anfield_the_place_to_be]

100%

[@stuartdalrymple]

Literally. I wait for this every week.

[@waitz27]

Thank goodness. A couple of hours of joy. Thanks squire!!

[@SteveHighLevel-gl8cf]

Simon should have a bigger audience than meme chess streamers like levy

[@booktrunk]

Always a good sign it’s 2 hours long, so that implies no rage quit. :) I’m excited I love watching these

[@nimzomitch]

Simon, I love you, man - the ups! The downs! You keep it real and you're relatable

[@majororgans]

“Let’s play normal moves. Castle. I heard that’s good.” 😂

[@ElderScrollsVINews]

Liked ❤, just wanted to let you know your a hero to me all the way out in Omaha, USA! Keep playing spicy Simon your the best ❤❤❤

[@azemzejnilovic2893]

mate, you have 100x more personality than fucking gotham chess. come on, cant lose to him

[@clementsjohnson]

Both are fun to watch and engaging streamers :)

[@Stephan-uu3vm]

Always thought Simon is way better streamer

[@Etherglide]

I avoid Gothamchess like plague with his shitty clickbait vids and his tongue constantly and firmly entrenched in Hikarus arse and then he turns up on my favourite chess stream. Life is shit.

[@mickyjgreen]

I can't watch Gotham. Not as bad as the Botez sisters though 😂

[@torrawel]

Gotham who ?

[@majororgans]

He might have a lot of fans but I have your videos on notification and I’m not even subbed to Gotham. You’re the only one working this corner! Lighthearted and top tier articulation of the inner monologue of a GM.

[@danjeory3659]

Kramnik's running that first game through his ACME cheat detection system as we speak

[@MNH73]

The story of the broken nose had me in stitches 😂

[@topgunbass]

With all your banter you had me laughing again. Best chess stream going 😂

[@homero3928]

I'm glad to say I'll be there to see you next week in North Norfolk! Keep it up with the great TT videos

[@elyarerkivan9857]

We all enjoy your stream, your talking about life and everything. You are a very enjoyable person all in all. I have around 2 hours of beatiful time thanks to you every week. Subscribed more than a few years. And ofcourse liked! Hope to see you for a looong time 😊

[@bipinanand]

My weekly thanks for this quality material to watch, sir!

[@MeditateXYoga]

i like how you make Title Tuesday fun every week

[@garp9433]

You’re looking a lot thinner! It’s awesome, glad you’re going for it mate

[@MrEviljezza]

Cant wait to come watch the chessboxing next week, should be a great laugh! Hopefully get a chance to meet as Im a fan and love the Jobava course!

[@darnk9785]

Where is it? I'm in England for 3 weeks and wanna come!

[@MrEviljezza]

@@darnk9785 hi mate, it's around the NE side of Norwich, if you google chessboxing UK you will find the event for tickets etc

[@JeffPHamm]

Another good watch! Once the boxing is done and dusted, you can get back to hangover chess and wipe the board clean!

[@gregdavis1341]

You are so awesome to watch Simon !!👍👍🇭🇲

[@zacharycook341]

We appreciate you Simon!

[@cz19856]

Btw Bortnyk started playing your e4 f4 Be2 Sicilian in blitz. He also plays the lion and the jobava. He most likely has taken the ideas from your courses. You should be proud, gingerGM.

[@mcpartridgeboy]

Good luck with your fight, would love to see it, are you goint to post it on your channel ?

[@thegovernorpower9161]

Yes Simon!

[@edwardwelsch5893]

I've always thought there was a similarity between boxing and chess, and I enjoy both. Can't wait to tune in to see Simon become World Heavyweight Champion!

[@mobydallas]

Go simon!

[@ingosteinhaeuser9535]

The second last game was awesome. What a ride. And great comment about Tal! I always knew he was Simon’s favorite!

[@alanward2886]

Highlight of my week these Simon. Love that you are still fighting the good fight after a shit few years.

[@AntonG-sr5mu]

Like first, then watch, it's 2 hours!

[@Thaddeus9287]

I always wondered if you'd ever get randomly matched against Gotham. Well played to him. love watching you play every week, keep it up! Would love to send you my picture of the shirt I made and wore to the National Open in Las Vegas a few weeks ago...I don't even want a free course or anything, I just think it's funny.

[@wce-tube]

Nice one, Simon! Cheers!

[@PeterPerhac]

34:11 is why I love to watch your channel's content. You like to play something, and I want to see you play it, and you don't chicken out, you just go for it, making chess fun to watch!

[@Xialo_Universe_Art]

2 hours this time, the best treat to have, some banger questionable games this time!

[@DaveParkerNZ66]

You got a like from me in the first 20 seconds when you said “mwah mwah”. Keep up the excellent chess entertainment.

[@farmersix4434]

Drank special brew once and fell of my bike 🤣💀 good luck in the fight where can I watch 😄

[@RIPWooDidders]

Simon v. Big Bort for the first match? Killer

[@joshwantstotravel9516]

For Anyone and Simon looking for a Weapon against The Alapin, d5 exd5 Nf6 is very interesting, often gambeting one or two pawns

[@LoFiSymphony]

I see Simon, I upvote.

[@TankAbbott666]

Hi and greetings from Dortmund. I watch your blitzstreams for years and enjoy them more than any other chesscontent. And I learned a lot about openings. Thanks for all of that! But PLEASE don't talk about politics.

[@walterbrownstone8017]

It's almost like Simon needs to get himself into tough positions to win. I've never studied the French but it looks like you need to be able to handle a ton of pressure to be successful with that one.

[@dustinirwin1]

Well it’s 2 hours long, so it mustn’t be too bad

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

What a great fight vs RobertoJBM. I thought the knight maneuver Nd8 Nf7 Ng5 Nf3+ seemed interesting. Its slow, but once the eagle lands its over. Not sure how white stops it

[@milkyBK370]

Great show as always. Always wanting you to do well but the result is a by-product for me. Bortnyk in round 1 is always gonna be a kick in the nuts... I see Gotham held Grischuk to a draw. He's been playing well lately.

[@Josh-cz3ym]

ugh I was hoping you'd crush Gotham. he's so obnoxious

[@TheGreatSnoozer]

broke my thumb when i was 22 coming off my motorcycle. after 3 weeks of dithering they finally decided to operate. The orthopaedic surgeon was Irish, she came in to do a pre -op consultation, spent a few seconds grinding my thumb around it's joint and then just exclaimed " aghh it's fooked isn't it".

[@eliranruben1137]

i am trying to get your vision | how much wisky i need?

[@alibargh]

You are the best Simon, we love you ❤.

[@MaxWright7]

Good luck with the boxing game.

[@tomaszcyhil5471]

Apart from a great sense of humor I like very much the phrase "boys and girls" used by Mr Simon. Not so obvious in today's time. Great content.

[@jameshogan8168]

"Let's try not blundering next game" is my mantra. Mantra shmantra.

[@PaCo-jd3sl]

Does blair connell still bother with twitch?

[@stuartdalrymple]

We need some Ginger Merch. “Put that in your pipe and smoke it!”

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

In the game against Sathvikadiga aftee Bxh7 i though white must be losing, Simon fought back so nicely despite white finding creative resources over and over again!

[@fredd3.14]

make sure to get your wrists wrapped tight when htting the bags! love to see your mouse control improve. as you say, even at at 44 u can improve if you challenge ursefl

[@Anfield_the_place_to_be]

Game nr 2 was f*****g awsome😂😂 I rooting so much more for you to get 8 points each week, than any top player playing the big tournemets

[@PatzersOpeningRulz]

Why not the Dutch against 1 b3? b3 f5 Bb2 d6, followed by ..e5?

[@Mirchell1985]

Love the way of commenting second game :) So funny and painful at the same time :)

[@rafaelrojas7249]

Keep it simply Ginger!.

[@Para-rt9uk]

Simon Williams, the English football team of chess . Says 'all they do is defend badly'. Next game 'what am i doing defending like this?' lol.

[@edf9577]

The best couple of hours any chess player can spend !! Cheers Simon, again ❤ Now "Shut Up and Play the French" 😂

[@nimzomitch]

Now I have to go back to an older video and check out your nose

[@buk0100]

1:28:38 what i really like, you have the right fighting spirit, Ginger. it is, what it is. without setting the right goals you wont achieve anything. so, lets fuc*ing gooo!!!

[@tomwaters8409]

At :30 "let's play some normal chess" I can hardly wait😅

[@the0cool0guy]

1:44:15 Simon has a lot of experience of trying to "perform" 😆

[@aleisterleytham1080]

Ah tough last game so close

[@chrisd6982]

Yeah, England are dull and basic atm, but I think Southgate has ordered the players to take it easy in the group stage to stay fresh - he may also be concealing how we plan to actually play in the knock out stages - military lead time....

[@johnjames4681]

I watch in stages and game a day. Good stuff. Its like the England team. great on paper but getting dodgy results.

[@wce-tube]

Gunina is a last name, whish is pronounced as Goonina with the emphasis on "oo". So it's ['goonina], not [gun'ina].

[@Michelt007]

"I cannot find any threat, his famous last words", Re8, Bb5, oops! ;-)

[@chriszur2]

More Thumbs up!!!!

[@lukecain756]

You are so funny Simon

[@christopherlynch4347]

Very entertaining

[@zzashkittyzzonna2474]

I am 62 the highlight of week if get vlog from gingergm and two hour vlog is good news for results

[@TenTen3649]

Vote galloway or corbyn

[@interstellarbeatteller9306]

oooh tough first game - Either Bortnyk is bad news

[@seafoam9736]

Life advice: "Go and get your nose broken." Yep, ok!

[@ricksick81]

30:38 your opponent has Ne7 winning

[@charmainattwood]

Ditch the green tea. ❤

[@zzashkittyzzonna2474]

Fischer is greatest player all time

[@iainbozfelt]

You were better than Eric Hansen who was woeful!!

[@viddyhk]

Gotham C. is taking coaching from a GM in preparation to get his own GM title and has been sharpening up his game recently. As to why he has a million followers.... I guess it's an American thaaang.

[@torrawel]

Learned a new English word today ! Thank you Simon! Munch... I continue to be amazed about all these French words in English!

[@giorgibliadze1151]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@torrawel]

I said it before and ill say it again: When short of time, do as if it were a bullet game. Don't think, follow the instinct!

[@alfiecollins5617]

18:54

[@Nathan00at78Uuiu]

0:11 let's enjoy ourselves waa waa? what does he want to do with the boys and girls. i'm shocked.

[@kwhd559]

--> This is what happens when a GM drops a point to Levy Rozman in blitz kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3TMo4KKpKmmjtU He immortalizes you on KZbin forever 😁

[@juhaniraunio5887]

Put that in your pipe and smoke it. Nice to see 2h+ TT videos. Its guaranteed to not rage quit

[@fredgrumitt4794]

Why did you keep saying relevant?? Did you mean relative?

[@Kuryoku]

Only 40 minutes in but maybe that tea is too calming, you're playing so much slower than usual! You always seem to do well when you're fast and attacking

[@jms4406]

Wow this old starling was famished

[@theplayzpaidoff]

:)

[@TSMC123]

Ginger, you really need to work on your endgames. You'd be around 2700 online if your endgames were as good as your opening and middlegame.

[@capurera2]

I think one of the funny things with Simon is that his openings are just generally ok (he sometimes gets great positions), his middlegames are almost always brilliant(brings it back no matter what, amazing sacs galore), and then his endgames are so bleh

[@santaclaus7727]

first 🙂

[@normanno8514]

poor play

[@ianmullin5183]

Shut up and play the French 😂
