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.

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

Gotham who ?

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

This is the most English KZread channel of all time. A genius level grandmaster at Cheese (fcukijng autocorrect) with all the humility of mother Theresa. The humour of Monty Python and the looks of some smart ginger bloke you knew at school. 😅

Best chess upload of the week is here

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

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

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

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

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

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 ❤❤❤

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

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

The story of the broken nose had me in stitches 😂

i like how you make Title Tuesday fun every week

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.

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

Been waiting all day for this video! Wow and bortnyk out the gate

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 😊

We appreciate you Simon!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

Yes Simon!

Go simon!

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.

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.

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

I see Simon, I upvote.

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

Simon v. Big Bort for the first match? Killer

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

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.

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

You are the best Simon, we love you ❤.

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

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

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

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

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.

Lol that thumbnail was great

Good luck with the boxing game.

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

Keep it simply Ginger!.

Very entertaining

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".

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

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!!!

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.

24:15 Eduard Gufeld (1936-2002): My Life in Chess, 1993. Other books as well.

Ah tough last game so close

You are so funny Simon

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

You were better than Eric Hansen who was woeful!!

30:38 your opponent has Ne7 winning

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

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.

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

Ditch the green tea. ❤

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....

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

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

More Thumbs up!!!!

❤❤❤❤❤

oooh tough first game - Either Bortnyk is bad news

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

Does blair connell still bother with twitch?

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

Fischer is greatest player all time

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

18:54

Wow this old starling was famished

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

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

Simon for a knight's pawn you can use the philidor defence if you like, but keeping the rook on the back rank also works because the attacking king can never get around. The back rank defence. A GM really didn't know that? Then you can do something very funny after he pushes the pawn to the seventh rank, let's say your king is on b1 and his pawn is on b2 and his king is on b3, then his rook is on d3 and your rook is g1. Play Rg3 and for a second it looks like you gave a free rook and checkmate at the same time, but of course you did neither and instead the game is over because if he doesn't stalemate you win the pawn.

--> This is what happens when a GM drops a point to Levy Rozman in blitz kzread.info/dash/bejne/m3ed1LGNn6fZiNY.html He immortalizes you on KZread forever 😁

:)

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.

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

first 🙂

Shut up and play the French 😂
