I just started playing chess in my 50's, and quite enjoy it. Out of all the channels on KZfaq, I really appreciate your style of teaching, and how you break down positions and situations in an understandable way. Great stuff. Thank you,

One of the most important phrases I learnt from a very good player is " you may have won it but you've still got to win it" !

"My opponant has lashed out" 😂 just found your channel. Well late! Really enjoying it. 👍🏻

Glad you're continuing this series in a more gradual build up! Thank you for these classes 👍

It's so refreshing to see this new type of content. Thank you so much, Simon!

Love this series Simon, please do more!

Love this series, thank you so much!

Seeing common problems and how to exploit them is fantastic. Thank you for doing this series!

This Speed Run series is great. I love hearing the thinking process from a real game.

I already see I'll be watching this series more. Thanks for the content

This is the most educational Chess Speedrun I saw in KZfaq.

I work through these vids a segment at a time and marvel at how quick and simple you make it look. Fantastic teaching aid!

I really enjoy your explanations and breakdown of your fundamental motives behind your moves! Thank you for sharing. Love your video's!

I personally love those educational videos, specially long play chess. Keep going with a lot of this content Simon! ❤️

This channel is definitely become one of my favourites. The ginger GM definitely is dropping some great knowledge in an understandable way.

I've got to say, I really enjoy your videos and I quite feel I am learning a lot. KZfaq recommended one of your videos today so I watched it and I am so glad I did. Thank you GGM!

Love these videos! Keep them going!

This is such a cool series, bravo Simon :)

Really instructive well-made video, thank you, probably the most instructive that I’ve seen on KZfaq.

It’s so funny watching this GM trying to identify what 1600 players would see or not see. (I know he was once a low rated player at some point, but still.) Sometimes he is underestimating basic things that we would definitely see and then hilariously totally overestimating what we would see - suddenly recognizing essentially every pattern, pin, and fork left and right at a whim. It’s actually genuinely funny - and no, not in a bad way - (of course it’s difficult to revert oneself into an older mindset with less comprehension/understanding of the game).

Love this series! Please keep playing more openings from your chessable courses. I've bought your grandmaster gambits 1+2, club player's dynamite and dutch and reviewing every game I play to see if I played the right moves. To see a series like this with middle game ideas for those lines is amazing. You make it look so annoyingly bloody easy too :)

Great explaining. I think you're one of the best teachers of chess! More of this kind of content would be great, playing against lower rated opponents and explaining their errors.

Was enjoying Simon's Art of the Attack course today. This series is also fun and very instructive. 🌟🎆

Thank you so much for continuing the series

Great stuff!! Keep em coming Simon 😊

Simon Williams you are my guru in chess. I have learnt so much from you. Evans gambit, french defense, dragodorf, budapest gambit and many more keep on this amazing work

Keep going this series.. very very instructive!

This is my fav GingerGM KZfaq series by far … 💪🏼😂💥👏🎉

Thank you for this series Simon

This series is great, keep it up!

Fantastic video, Ginger!

These are very instructive and entertaining! Thank you!

Your teachings helped me improve my game so much!

I like Simon teaching a lot. Very instructive and I bought most his opening and mid game lessons and he used them in his games here and I learned from his play in video

I love these educational speed run !

As a long time sufferer of premature attaculation, I would like to offer my sincerest thanks for putting up this content. You are a boss.

0:27 alternative title: ginger gm shows his audience how to get it up

Love the content Simon!

Very nice idea, best channel on KZfaq!

Great new series. I don't really understand the lichess rating system but I'm here to learn either way.

This is the best lesson i ever heard thank you so much 🙏🙏

Your commentary is very nice. Love the humor.

Another great lesson from Simon "bang us a queen in the position" Williams

These are rich with information. Definitely love your resources. Gonna check out your chessable courses!

Really interesting thanks Ginger! p.s 13:47 love the Thermopylae reference lol

Really enjoying this gentleman dismantling the way I play chess

Timestamps for those that want them 0:58 Game 1 - Dutch defense 6:44 Game 2 11:14 Game 3 - Deutz gambit 19:01 Game 4 - Queen's gambit Sorry if I used any of the wrong names, he didn't say all their names and I'm still a scrub.

*I love your videos, man, cheers from Serbia!*

Cristal clear: thx Simon, very usefull. Greeting from France^^

good content, especially about the correct thought process. please do more of these, maybe in slower rapid games so there's more time to explain.

Please Ginger GM, don't stop this videos

This is really awesome!

Great job Simon.

You are so freaking awesome!!! Love you brother

Awesome video need more speed runs

amazing teaching method simon. thank you so much

These kind of videos will help me improve my chess alot

I love the new series, maybe play with increment though- you will get fewer players who premove the whole opening

Love these Simon, cheers (y)

Bro these videos are, amazing keep it up

Loving this series. Quite funny that you hadn't seen the early ...Bf5 before. It happens a lot playing at this level. It's another typical mistake - Black is focusing on getting the bishop outside the pawn chain without considering move orders or tactical nuances. Very often, these mistakes can be categorized as being "on auto-pilot".

"What is my opponent trying to do?" LOL If I only knew. Seriously, thanks, this video and others you've done are really informative and make me hopeful that I will improve!

Very nice Sir! Really appreciate! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Subbed. Why didn't i know about you before today?! Great stuff!! Prefer the 5min games as 3min is too short. Superb video mate.

Very good explanations and how to punish mistakes, thanks.

Thank you so much! I really learn a lot!

Enormously useful, thank you )

Was waiting for this. The thumbnail says #1 I was confused..

Love it. Might even buy the Attack book :D

I'm so fast I spotted the mistake in the video thumbnail immediately! ;) Surely #1 should be #2...? Great video!

very good simon.

Thank you Sir Simon!

simply the best chess vids

Good show chap!

The best chess personality hands down

Sir, keep up. You are the best.

You're the best Simon! Let's get the number of subscribers to 100k.

absolutely loved this video! if u happen to read the comments could u play the reti opening ninzo larsen variation? its my favorite at the moment

Great instructional video!!!!!

I know it’s not in the spirit of the video, but I was really hoping you’d play the Evan’s Gambit at 11:40. Would’ve been fun to see how a grandmaster would use it against an average rated player!

Love this !! Ty Ty

This is so helpful thanks 🙏

I can follow along with you and understand what you are doing, and think to myself that I can do that. But in my own games, I get completely off track and lost faster than you can blink.

Great series. I'm guessing in the first game at 2:20 he didn't want to sack the g4 pawn by playing Nf3. Though I suppose if you are tossing in the h & g pawns down the board right away you have to be willing to sacrifice them, poor blighters.

Thank you GGM

Very informative about the artificial frets, good frets, bad frets.

Very instructive

Really enjoyed this. Here's a comment for the algorithm.

Gréât advice.. thanks!!

What a sadistic play you are grat really explaine to me i never know some things like when your oponent make a move with a pawn look to the weekneeses

I find that all you really need at this level is a basic understanding of the first few moves of the most popular openings. That way, when the opponent plays a bad/odd looking move it kind of stands out and often it's an opportunity to gain an advantage.

do more of these!!

Hi Simon and hello from just down the road in Basingrad. Great instructive video as usual, thanks. Could I tempt you into a "Beer run" where we discover how many beers it takes for me to beat a GM? I'm a blunder-prone 1200....I think it would cost me a lot😁(although I do have your Jobava and French defense courses)

I imagine Katherine waiting patiently on the other end for Ginger to make a move while he verbally and publicly makes and example out of her

"Oh Shit" 🤣 it's great to see GM blunders and reacts just the same as us commoners when we blunder and then realise it right after haha

Love it sm

The opponent while Simon is explaining why their move is really, really bad: "Hey, that one got him thinking, that must've been solid"

I just learned about G Chess today thank you I love it I will be using it thanks Ginger GM your the greatest are you ever planning to play in public games like in New York at Washington square park levy did it and Alexandra Boetz was at 14 union square

me sitting here as a 1000 : yep i agree yeeeaassss very goooood.

more of theeeeeeeeeeese 🤗
