GingerGM, we all want to play like you no matter what!

"Don't play like me" I'm sorry GingerGM, but that's far too late. Every game is either me going down in flames of glory or blowing up my opponent in style.

Choosing an obscure variation to get your opponent out of preparation. Getting yourself out of preparation.

Your "dodgy", speculative play is why we love you Simon. You're part of that great tradition of Nezhmetdinov, Viktor Kupreichik, Emory Tate, Julian Hodgson. Even a century ago, Rudolf Spielmann ("the last Knight of the King's Gambit", as he was known in another time when "scientific" chess principles were the rule of the day), said in his manual The Art of Sacrifice: "We honor Capablanca, but our hearts beat higher when Morphy's name is mentioned." One Simon Williams is worth more than 100 Mickey Adams, 100 Vladimir Kramniks, 100 Boris Gelfands. My level, "amateur chess", is in my not-so-humble opinion, the most fun, and that's where you are the best inspiration.

Another great video GingerGM. Believe it or not, watching teachers and titled players get frustrated by their decisions really helps us mere mortals. I NEVER have enough pieces either!! Your lessons are fantastic - even this one!! 👍

brought a tear to my eye

So fun rooting for the underdog though down two pieces and a rook :D

Always something to learn from your games, win or lose. Grateful for your content.

I'm always late for work when Simon releases a new video. On titled Tuesday I take the morning off !

I am running out of pieces, this is the problem I often have 😂, I always Have that problem Simon Hi from Canada

Until the very end I was waiting for the narrow escape... Why not Simon!?

Playing under your influence is fun squire. Chess should be fun.

Never enough pieces, damnit ! One more would have clinched it I reckon. Great game though dude.

Lovely little attack squire

19:30 i found Ne3 threatening two queen moves both leading to unstoppable forced mates (other one is taking the pawn) and it's strange why simon didn't see it even though he ran through it making me doubt and question: what did i miss?
