Good to see you back sir. Your TT's from a few years ago got me through the pandemic blues

[@rajarshikumarsingh]

Best chess teacher So many amazing series 1. Climbing the rating ladder 2. Puzzle solving series 3. Using chess as a clock 4. Using a physical board to explain endgames. Thank you John

Love watching TT, thanks JB

[@danjeory3659]

Just want to say thanks for editing out the stuff in between games. It's those little details that set you and others apart.

[@nevo13570]

Awesome! I was honestly just thinking the other day about how it's been a long time since you've played a Titled Tuesday and how I've missed watching you participate! Hope you can do it more often again!

[@danielguel1897]

John's videos/live streams are entering a level of nostalgia! ❤️

[@ryanpula9389]

Love these Titled Tuesday vids John!!! Keep 'em coming ❤

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thanks, Ryan! Hope you're doing well.

[@attention_shopping]

haha was just watching you and then watching another video and you got shouted out on the ALL-IN podcast

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Too funny! Someone tagged me with that on Twitter - I def gotta watch now 😊

[@stevec2227]

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thank you very much - happy you found these games instructional!

[@smith_und]

Game with Eljanov was totally fascinating and full of different imbalances, happy to see your open and honest streams!

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thank you very much!

[@Ss010101]

That surprise mate caught me off guard as well. :D Gotta love that moment of panic like "What happened??" and realizing you've won.

[@nickd5422]

Always a treat to see you play titled tuesday! Nice grind in game 5

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

[@erickhar]

Very glad to see you uploading again. Been a fan since i started playing chess more seriously in 2018. You have made a big impact :)

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Happy to hear! You're a pre-pandemic chess veteran at this point :)

[@petarangelov2416]

Yupee! Sooooo glad to see you back, John :)

[@jahismighty1576]

thanks for posting! the sense of danger around 36:20 was impressive and instructive. i am sure i would have snapped the rook and lost 😂

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thanks! Yup that moment almost got me 😀

[@JustinHoward-el5mq]

Some great games there! Love the titled tuesdays and hope to keep seeing more!

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thank you!

[@basidhfareeth7757]

im very excited to see you back in the field john

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thanks, my friend Basidh!!

[@7inrain]

Yeah, loved this video. More please.

[@yyguuyg]

Yo, the golfing example was perfect. Love your channel!

[@aliAmosh]

Thanks for posting John! Your videos are the best content on KZbin

[@joshualavender]

47:15 The "surprise" checkmate must have been stinging for your opponent. I think he missed it, too. Nothing burns more than falling to the mate you didn't even see.

[@dannyannet154]

It's good to see you, John! After a long time.

[@hdysicjegk]

Your hat tip salute at the beginning went to 11, I’m pumped!

[@PerceivedREALITY999]

Good games against tough opponents. Greetings from Australia.

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thanks for watching from down under!

[@thomasjasonkittell]

Love to see you back John!

[@sundaydsus]

YES!!! A tradition unlike any other! 🎉🎉🎉

[@bgtopteam]

Glad to see you back. No one dares play e4 against you 😅

[@blueguitarist]

Great stream, very instructive ss always

[@Heroball299]

Nothing better than the surprise checkmate. Unless it's me getting surprised😂

[@RobinZuFALL]

Love it !

[@johncook8900]

So cool, love these.

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!

[@KingoftheJuice18]

I don't know why it's taken me so many years to realize this, but your nickname should definitely be "Gentleman John."

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Haha it has a nice ring to it :)

[@henrylange8367]

He's back!

[@khaledtn]

Finally

[@KF1]

Right on

[@faznaz7455]

Great to see you back John! 3:43 I wonder if white could have tried axb5 and after cxb5, Qe2 would have been a lethal blow perhaps.

[@calebdettmer5946]

John - I’ve loved watching your channel since you tutored my team at Eastview. Keep it up! Also love the jiu jitsu reference, i practice that myself. Appeals to the mind of chess players very well! Cheers.

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Great to see you in the comments, Caleb!! Appreciate the kind words hope you and your family are doing well - please tell your dad I said hello, too!

[@olimonaghan7322]

yes sir

[@patrickthubakgale469]

Hey guys, this is John😊

[@johnbumster3950]

Great video, well played :)

[@Aldric524]

Title Tuesday rocks John. Keep it up if you want to!

[@ogregolabo]

Thanks 🙏

[@AgentSmith911]

I'd love to see you explore the Anglo-Scandinavian some day, 1.c4 d5

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Any particular ideas with it? Seems like an inferior Scandinavian unless Black can get some sort of reversed Smith-Morra Gambit out of it...

[@AgentSmith911]

@@JohnBartholomewChess It's mainly to keep up the Scandi hype, but it's not a good opening, as Black trades away a center pawn with White's c-pawn. It might transpose into a Queens gambit, and it might catch other players off guard, but then again there's no traps in it as far as I know. Maybe save it for bullet games :-D

[@pradipgc1565]

we want more

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

I'll try to play these more regularly 💪

[@Joe-zu7lx]

Loved it

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

Thanks for watching!

[@JamesMcCarthy-nz8oq]

Hi John, What's with you voice in the background when commenting? It freaks me out a bit😮 Example I hear it around 17.33 & 17.41, it keeps repeating "Hey John this is guys" and plenty other times throughout the broadcast. Great to have you back 👍

[@walterbrownstone8017]

I think I've done the surprise checkmate once in my 13k games. Usually it's my opponent surprising me with checkmate.

[@JohnBartholomewChess]

😂

[@talisb7883]

Go John

[@JamesSully]

great thumbnail

[@jonhoover6034]

Hey John, this is guys!

[@matthewmoody8527]

I’d watch every video you make if you analyzed the openings some

[@attention_shopping]

1:10:00 you look very winning / at least send the pawn down right or could you lose if you lose the h pawn

[@Chinbha]

Hi John

[@JohnBartholomewChess]
