Absolutely brilliant. I don't think people appreciate how difficult it must be to play clearly good players while still explaining every move in a blitz time control!!!

20:45 the poem you're thinking of is The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. The famous line is "quoth the raven, nevermore." Not evermore, but still a great one :)

Beating an 1800+ opponent in 12 moves really highlights how good this guy is. It really puts titled Tuesday into perspective as well!

There is a fork in 27:23 second why did he not do it
@slagorourke Жыл бұрын
Nice 1st game, showed the difference between a GM and a 2000, using an array of tactics and positional awareness way beyond most people's ability, especially mine. The 2nd game with the Queen sac was sexy. I think your opponent had Nc7 with a fork in the 3rd game? Hope you're playing Titled Tuesday later, Simon. A couple of hours of Harry launching, rage quitting, pipe smoking chess will do nicely for a Tuesday afternoon!

Very well played and good instructions for us. In the last game both of you blundered that the opponent could have forked your knight but it was on the clock so we, most of us, missed it. Cheers!

Wow Simon. I've been playing the QG for about a year now and I was not aware of that trap you played in game 2. Since the Chigorin is pretty rare I hadn't looked at anything specific to it. I'm positive I've had that exact same position to set up the trap a number of times. Will keep a look out in future. Cheers.

22:17 Black's plan revolves around having control of the d4 square. However, with f7-f5, you give White the option of playing the sequence exf5, Bxc6, and d3-d4 at any time.

At 25:35 instead of the stupid move f5.... had White played Qf3! threatening both Bxc6 and Qxh5+ I guess Black would have been in deep... trouble!!

Shouldn't the first opponent have done rook lift early in the game and go for counter attack. I think he had an excellent position for example @ 5:07

Also at 26:22 Rxf5 wins a clear pawn for White if I'm not missing anything... (note that Qxg5 Rxg5 Bh6 is not possible due to the pin on the black king)
@sejongchessclub Жыл бұрын
If Rxf5, then Black can reply with Qxg5. Black has Rf2+ at the end, picking up the knight.
