“Put that in your pipe and smoke it son.”

For anyone interested in the game 4 Dutch defence: Simon won an immortal classical game, reaching almost the exact same position as in this titled tuesday, against Wojtaszek in 2011. Radoslaw also played Rd5! Wojtaszek, Radoslaw (2721) vs Williams, Simon Kim (2520) 2011 · Dutch, classical variation (A96) · 0-1 1.d4 e6 2.Nf3 f5 3.g3 Nf6 4.Bg2 Be7 5.O-O O-O 6.c4 d6 7.Qc2 a5 8.Nc3 Nc6 9.b3 e5 10.dxe5 dxe5 11.Rd1 Qe8 12.Nb5 Qh5 13.Nxc7 f4 14.Nxa8 Bc5 15.Rd5 Nb4 16.Rxe5 Nxc2 17.Rxh5 Nxh5 18.Rb1 fxg3 19.hxg3 Nxg3 20.Rb2 Bf5 0-1

Hands up who’s watching this for the English accent 🙌😝

I played Chess for the last two years, it got more and more depressing because I played defensive and fearful and then get rage attacks when I lose, now I started playing gambits and try to learn from Simon's attacking style and Chess has gotten fun again! I wonder how many people go half crazy playing Chess with obsessive personality traits..

People, anything good you see is in the DVDeee, go buy 👍 Never in doubt 😻

Missed this live. Been missing the regular TT streams. Hope you go back to making this a more regular thing...

Managed to catch this one live on twitch. Good results!!

Loved all that Bird, Dutch!! 👏👏👍🏽👍🏽🙏🙏

Hey Simon I've been watching your videos more and more recently. Cheers and keep them coming, you seem like you'd be a good time to have a beer with and play some games of chess!

My dear life stumbler ginger friend, let me fetch a beer and enjoy the show.

Happiest moment of my day is watching Simon while I fall asleep

Bc1 was a really instructive retreating move stopping the infiltration. Knowing me I would've tunnel visioned completely on the kingside

Love watching Simon play the Dutch!

Turns out, the game that starts at 33:26 , Simon was actually playing against Kramnik in disguise (against the rules) on his cheating exploration crusade. That explains a lot lol

I'm 39 and already have the greys coming in around the chin area. It's all over.

Brilliant that you let him have that smothered mate!

I must say I like how the Dutch (and reverse) cam be aggressive.

Red on threddit. Classic.

Experience in the birds (and the bees?) Dirty mate 😂

I noticed you made a massive and silly error at the end of the first game. You said "You start to realise your 'mortality'" but what you in fact meant to say was more talented.

44:10... Perhaps a crazy line, don't know... But what about... Ne4? You attack f2 again, Q cannot take because of Bf5 wins the Q and after Rxc5 you can or take back, or take g3 or being the B to f5 again...

Congratulations to you, Simon...you're a true romantic of chess, how it ought to be. It shows spirit...spirit above material. It also gives good insight into you as a person, and you're great! Thank you!

37:50 take with rook?

In game three or four when you wiggled all your pieces in to position I think you forgot to open lines.Development also neglected. I guess I am just a fan of striking first and positioning later. I feel that positioning can go on for ever: "I want this here... Is this better here or here? I don't know.." Well nobody knows bcoz 11 milion variations. Meanwhile undevelopped and deprived of possibilities? "Where is my knight gonna go?" Gheez...

it's not like chat is going to help much with moves

What is Simon's name for the A pawn? Anne? Arnold?

simon, since u r good at the stonewall as black, what about doing some videos on the stonewall as white? i play this as white and its very fun opening until i run into as u would say, a bloody cheat!

Well played son

I wonder if you could have engineered 0-0-0# in that Slav Exchange game? Would have been sweet!

Really coool🎉🎉🎉

2:04:36 "shove harry up their pipe", how dare you, sir! :P

It doesn't matter how good the players in the chat are, anyone can suggest a good move without knowing why exactly, but the GM can see the move and use it with his knowledge. I always thought streaming chess should have a different rating, call it consultation chess. Besides it wouldn't be strange to have someone in the chat stronger than the streamer.

2:03:17... losing a queen!

Simon so cute, think AI bot is real person))))))))))))))))))
