Before i've even watched the video i'd just like to say how happy I am to see you streaming again Simon. You have been missed. Your honest reactions to your wins and losses is refreshingly real in a, seemingly, more homogenous world . Okay i'll start watching the video now...i'm ready for 'passion' .

Simon, I doubt you'll ever see this, but I want to personally thank you for getting me into chess. The 1st chess video I ever watched was Weird and Wacky openings with the Ginger GM. My first opening video was in the Evans Gambit by you. First 2 chess books I ever bought were the Killer Dutch ebook and the Attacking French. After you said that every chess player had to try the kings gambit, I started playing that. I play 2.Be2 against the Sicilian because of your game in the British Championships. It is my most successful opening by win percentage. I was there for all the drunken streams, the lessons with Bjorn, the late night blitz sessions where you left the camera off because you were obviously just back from the pub. People will think I'm joking, but of all the celebrities, athletes, and famous personalities in the world, the number one person I'd like to meet is the One, the Only, the Dutch GOAT, GINGER FREAKING GM! Keep in rolling, we'll be here to watch!

Ginger GM is a legend. Both knowledgable and entertaining. I would like to watch him hosting every major tournament

I had a cat who got to be exactly 20 years old, 1997 to 2017 and I was 9 when we first got him so he was basically family

Great to see Simon is back in business, and particularly sweary this week, which is always a bonus. And it wouldn't be a Ginger GM Titled Tuesday without a rage quit!

"...and I'm winning a load of shit at the end there." Top quality analysis after game two 😂

I swear Simon doesnt realise hes utterly hilarious! The DMT comment and maybe just being pissed at the pub against the icelandics cracked me man 😂😂

Simon - you’re the most entertaining chess YT’ber (and I’ve watched more chess YT than I want to admit )

Simon, my wife and I really appreciate your videos. You’re so down to earth and such an enjoyable grand master to watch (she doesn’t care for chess but finds you to be very enjoyable and funny). Wishing you all the best and keep up with the content 👍

Welcome back! Keep going and stay strong💪Nice to see Charlie!

Raw high quality content. Simon is the John Wick of Chess

My wife said that you're much better than Gotham, because you're not yelling at your viewers.

My favorite chess content creator

Hilarious joke about Kramnik lol Always a pleasure to watch you play TT

I fall in love chess just because of you. I'm from the Czech Republic and I can't wait on your further stream. Watching you makes my day better. Thanx for all.

It’s 5am and I’m watching the GingerGM. Thanks

Happy to gingergm and Charlie is back Gingergm is most entertaining chess streamers to watch other chess streamers put me to sleep

Love your content. You are the wittiest chess streamer out there. Perfect balance of jadedness and skill 😝

Always put your cat first! thanks really enjoyed that Simon!

Great games, great commentary, often it feels like i'm at a pub, usually very interesting stuff going on on the board!!

I hope these uploads will be weekly. Great content and very informative

It's so much fun watching you play like this Simon, never laughed so much at a chess video! your modesty and honesty is so great, and to know that even chess grandmasters can do dumb ass things sometimes gives us all hope! Cheers mate! Can't wait for the next one !

28:30 When I was learning chess everybody told me that castling is important because then you have three protective pawns in front of your king. ;)

I don't know if you will be able to read this comment Simon but if you do hope this helps: game review is almost instant because it's done on depth 15 or so, the arrows are drawn and all that. On analysis, you can set the depth for yourself in the settings but even at depth 20, which I think is the default, evaluation of the moves can change rather significantly in more complicated positions. P.S. To make the computer "less stupid" you can just increase the depth, up to 25 or so really doesn't take long.

Love your unpretentious and hilarious commentary! Fresh subscriber

Amazing! Your personality is by far the most entertaining out of any chess content creators and to top it out you're an amazing player. Keep being you and hopefully, you keep posting these!

Hi Simon, great content as always. More titled Tuesdays please! You’ve a great style and it makes a game we all love that much more engaging. Ginger for the win!

Really nice to see you back, and Charley as well. I get a lot out of your commentary. You guys who started playing seriously very early in life have a lot of insight to offer us older players. And stop talking about getting old. I'm 78.

I love his sense of humour, makes the video so entertaining 🤣

Glad to see you're back.

Thanks for your content, Simon!

Really enjoy your style. Thanks for keeping it real.

What a master of the English language 🏅🏅

really enjoying the videos :)

ONE of my favorite chess player, author. Ten years ago I bought your book on French. This month I bought a chessbase course, and yesterday I started to buy your d4 COURSE. Totally recommended !

dude, glad you're back. been a sub for years at this point and I always throughly enjoy your stuff

Love the content! Keep it up :)

Good to see you are back with TT!

Charlie's awesome! He's an OAP now ♥️🐈 Cats are the best ♥️

Man you got the best chess videos man! Keep it up, I love your videos and admire your attacking style chess

Your Awesome Simon !

Bounce up those likes for the Ginger GM,good fellow!,good chessplayer

That first game was 🔥 I often do the give up every piece when I’m lost thing. Even after thousands of games, it still amuses me. When it ceases to, I’ll stop

We heart had a little flutter when I saw that you are back buddy. I love your work.

I've watched your videos on naming your paws. I caught the bit at 2:26 when you mentioned "grabbing Cedric" ... I thought wow, it's really a part of his thought process, it's not just an exercise.

Great stuff! Hang in there 👊

Been watching you for years. I appreciate whatever and whenever you upload bro

I really enjoyed this

Thanks for the chess Simon!

Nice one Simon can’t get enough geezer

oh nice; funny and relaxing voice as well. subbed

I bought a bundle of courses from the GingerGM in which the Dutch was included. Truth be told, the Dutch is bloody complicated but if you stick with it, it's well worth it. Unless you're playing some super GM bastard (and let's face it, we're not going to be) you'll give very strong players a headache. Keep up the good work Simon!!

47:42 (Simon sees that Naka lost a game): "Hikaru! It would be good to spank his bottom. That would be the ultimate joy. And also to play him over the board at chess or online." 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you ❤❤

Simon, hands down the greatest chess commentator in the world! Love you Simon!❤

Great to see Charlie geezer

I will say, your core pawn structure had me laughing

It’s always fun to see opponent get dutched up

Fight until the end!...., good games, thanks!

Great video! Could you play some more king' gambit next time?

"Kramnik and his team of mathematicians" 😭😭😭

I look forward to your videos and you playing TT, hope you come back soon

I dig it.

I enjoy your stream. Hope to see it back to a more "You're regular programming", but do understand that life gets in the way sometimes. Still, if you just want to have some fun, maybe hit the next Titled Tues. that you participate in (and post) with a bunch of King's Gambits as White (well, if they replay e5 of course), but you could "keep to the theme (if f4 counts as a theme, of course)" against the Sicilian with a Grand Prix type game? Just have some fun, because when you do, win or lose, we all enjoy (and learn from) your games.

legend

Great thumbnail, by the way

Oh yeah please!!!❤

At 11:20 he switched to a game with just 2 kings left. Simon says, "That looks drawn to me". 🤣

I'm just an amateur, so at 27:05 I thought, after black's Bg4, white could try a tactical diversion with d6, forcing black's queen to move, then shift the Bishop to e4, followed by Qd3 freeing the N to move or take on d4. Hard to visualise, but maybe worth a try in a bad situation!

Ginger GM is the real deal

Hell yeah

GIngerGM u r the OG streamer!!

Oh my God this sapling was parched. Nice rating simon almost at that 2700 mark again. My goal is 2800 for you this year. You have it in you

I'm really starting to like the Dutch. I really need to investigate this opening further.

Get in - we’re back again!

Have you tried nootropics, Simon? Sunifiram, for example, can improve mental acuity and memory. I like to think you are in Rocky training montage mode, ahead of 'one last job' - one last crack at making the candidates. Take a look at the nootropics. I'm the angel on your shoulder kid...

"We've gotta walk before we can fly, right. Unless you do DMT then it's a bit unclear isn't it" 🙃

I enjoy the cat appearances, esp Charlie cause he is old

Consistency!

Can’t miss TT with the original gangster ginger gm. Is it madness? Is it genius? 😀

Kramnik thinks pretty much any player putting in 90+ accuracy is suspect unless it's him. I thought no he can't be that silly about it. But I watched his stream. He is, in fact, that silly.

For example; 5:14 Wow 🎖how does he do it

1:13 😂

19:40 The game review runs in very low depth whilst the actual evaluation run when you're at that position is at a more reasonable depth. I rarely trust the game review unless I've cranked up the depth.

Last game .. castled early .. should have stopped the a4 push, with a5 .. and most importantly .. don't pick up the cat 🧐

God damn ur a breath of fresh air 😂

I want to visit London, working with you 2 years and my dream would be completed

53:00 lmao

Read "Mere Christianity " by C S Lewis, fascinating read and you might find it interesting.

Im trying to learn the Dutch so I came here.

❤

@48:00 on form today :D

Cats first absolutely

17.12 missed bishop b8

I wonder if the GingerGM finds it insulting, or vindicating, that advancing flank pawns early are being called Magnus Carlsen's trademark moves.

Where in the cosmos are you?

Nyah nyah nyah!!!

Big kiss for Charlie

Simon you are not reading analysis correctly. After Bxg5 u can see that the correct move is f6 probably because of Bf4, g5 ,where your rook is unprotected on h1 as you mentioned earlier in the video. Cheers ,glad to see you back ,hoping for some twitch streams

I thought it was 'TILTED' Tuesday. How wrong I was...
