Heck yeah! The most comical and fun chess streamer out there....😅 And right off the bat, he doesn't fail to deliver..... "I've had a bit of a cold so I decided to go out drinking for a few days"... and the ridiculously low rating of 1869 that he miss reads and says 2869 cause he hasn't said 1800 outside of his few and far between speed run videos.

I've never seen a blunder that stupid in TT. It had to have been a mouse slip

@SaintD382 3 ай бұрын

@@Heroball299 I agree it was a mouse-slip, but the fact that he allowed that elementary Nf7 tactic in the first place is surprising: that's a tactic even I (a weak expert) know better than to fall into.

@babstra55 3 ай бұрын

I was curious and looked him up. he's normally been around 2400 for 5 years, but last autum had a steep gradual dive down to 1800s. he's not old, so it's probably some kind of health problem. good for him that he still likes to play even though it must be very frustrating when a disease robs you of your ability. way back in the ICC there used to be a GM at 1600-1700s who still played every single day. don't remember what his situation was exactly, but part of it was that he was very old.

Trainspotting was big deal in 1860's. I bet Morphy was a huge locomotive enthusiast after he quit chess. Anderson once asked, will you ever come back, and Morphy replied: "Choo choo!"

Thanks for the videos, Simon, but is there a chance that you can increase the sound a bit. I prefer watching on my laptop because of the screen size but the sound is rather low and I generally don’t have that problem with other KZfaq videos.

Regarding the player numbers, I think after they split TT into two, the latter one is just more convenient to most active players. Early one is for those who woke up early and have nothing to do.

It's funny how much titled players hate the Exchange French. Bryan Tillis over at Palm Beach Chess also acts personally offended when people play it against him too. At a decidedly lower level, I have fun games playing black in the exchange with opposite side castling, often ending up with exciting attacking games.

Don't knock trainspotting. I had old tennis buddy years ago and him and his missus were trainspotters. Started in the 80's, videos and stuff. Now they do flybys in choppers, virtual travel dvd's etc of all the railways across the world. Undergrounds, everything. They still sell their stuff from the 80's online. Needless to say, they are multi multi millionaires with huge mansions through having an interest in trains lol.

Strange to hear you call Kramnik a nutcase when Hans literally had a full report released stating he likely cheat far more than twice and every speedrun you do you run into cheaters so often you mention how you find them all. Cheating is literally ruining chess and a huge problem. Glad you dont seem to care about the integrity of chess. I guess i cant expect integrity from an alcoholic. Unsubbed.
