[@tomf7478]

Glad to see you posting again Simon👍

"It's rare that the move h4 is a mistake" is a philosophy we can all get behind, Harry.

[@mrdeer5585]

You're my favorite. Your content and personality are the best amongst all the chess channels.

[@ArashBizhanzadeh]

Happy to see you back Simon. Love your videos

[@Joe-zu7lx]

This actually seems a really convincing opening. You’ve sold it well Simon I’m tempted

[@elindauer]

Really enjoying the connection between the modern Reti and the Taimanov Sicilian. I think I'll give this a try thanks for the opening suggestion!

[@only1jones2]

Never in doubt

[@micahleslie5195]

This is a joy to watch. Thanks man. I've done multiple of your courses and love your style thanks for sharing your experience and breaking down this complex game for us!!! Micah from Montana US

[@plasticrap4577]

Simon, you’re the best! Great to see you!

[@LoffysDomain]

A sincere thank you for uploading and sharing

[@OblateBede]

Your style and approach to the game appeals to me greatly. I like your chessable content too.

[@MariaBelenSeyssInquart]

Hello from Argentina! Ribli plays this style. Nf3 followed by c4, always. However, he enters in a Queen Gambit or a Catalan against ....d5 or ....e6 .....d5.

[@stevewild374]

Love it when you play more strategic lines. Pity that there is not a short and sweet so can check before buying

[@I_am_Itay]

16:57 This Ng4 premove could cost a lot if white would play Kh1 or Kh3. Instead you could premove Qh2+!

[@jms4406]

I'm ready for the reti

[@TheImproversPath]

I watched the short and sweets, played it a bit, and LOVE this approach. So interesting! My only question is: How to play against your favoured Dutch Defence? Saw you smash Titled Tuesday the other day too, nice one :)

[@TheRovardotter]

Simon looking sharp

[@haddymcbatty]

Nice one Simon

[@driverdmen1]

Very tempting but i still have to much fun with youre 1.e4 grandmastergambits course

[@nicbonsai7111]

Love your work Hope the cat is ok Your my favourite chess guy. Well you and Agad mator

[@gjonfeinstein5878]

Simon, how do you continue after 1 Nf3 d5 2 c4 d4? Black will follow with ..Nc6, e5, etc....Would you give us just a taste of how white continues there? Thanks

GMAneta needed a tissue

[@matteovrizzi]

at 21:34, why not take the queen and push the e pawn?

[@josketobben]

the knight's a good blocker

[@giorgibliadze1151]

We want TT! Please❤

[@arcitejack]

Whew how about Gormally ?

[@Tim0909]

Yay. Fellow ginger

[@cz19856]

1:35 isn't that a free pawn?

[@brunocalver2968]

And a Rook? This is the Owen’s/English Defense, I like this opening 👍

[@kigakiku2011]

Right?! I was like dude why aren’t you taking that free rook?

[@scottshaffer5205]

Don't forget to log off!

[@butchvandyk1051]

are the Jobava London still good??

[@jackkahn8217]

Normal London is better

[@butchvandyk1051]

@@jackkahn8217 why i asked was i... bought the Jobava London 2 years ago from chessable done by Simon.. so was just wondering if it is still worth playing?! lol

[@mannylokzzz]

Jobava is incredibly effective if you know your lines. Deceptively aggressive especially if people think you just confused your normal London move order or something

[@MartinZanichelli]

Yes, I feel plans for White flow easily, even if technically the engine will tell you it is equal.

[@marcellodelira5601]

Game 3 looks like you played a polish female GM by the name of Aneta.

[@danjeory3659]

I would have rage quit after that bellend won the second game from a completely lost position

[@bifferspice]

wankety wank made me laugh out loud! i hate people timing out and am guilty of sending quite unfriendly messages to those that do it
