Trying to Qualify for the $2m Champions Chess Tour! The strongest online event ever!
Рет қаралды 27,748
Күн бұрынHere I stream (most of!) my attempt at qualifying for the $2 million Champions Chess Tour.
This proved to be the strongest online event ever held! With over 130 Grandmasters playing (only Grandmasters were allowed to play) it proved to be a challenging tournament...
The time control was 10+2 and it was a 9-round tournament. With the top half qualifying for the next round.

I normally find endings super boring, but that one fantastic! The under promotion!

Came here to comment the same thing. As much as Simon likes to attack he really is a great endgame player.

That game where the opponent promoted to a knight. Brilliant battle from both players. Ginger could have easily been 4/5 there. Unlucky at times.

A little bit of your own medicine to put in your pipe and smoke with Bishop a3 at 2:03:45. Based on the percentage of time grinning during videos, you're my favorite GM. Thank you Simon!

That 2nd game vs Malachov was a thriller! From worse to to better to losing to turnaround to underpromotion to brilliant swindle to sweaty win!

Loved that 3rd game, you embarrassed the queen beautifully and finished in style, fire up the pipe 🥕 💨

watching The Ginger play his best game vs super GMs we get a better idea of his true strength , he is definitely underrated and still a world class player. Not something that is evident when he plays blitz vs weaker players...

What was the final verdict on chesscomsimon? Real or troll?
@optimalbrand Жыл бұрын
Real or someone would have said otherwise. At one point Simon was repeatedly asking 'guys, what should I do here?' that might have had something to do with it

top gm chess first move should be played on board random move so players cant specialize in engine prep lines
@THEBOYDALEK Жыл бұрын
That’s like saying footballers shouldn’t be allowed to watch matches of their opponents, ridiculous. Besides which Most GMs will have their own lines for most openings many moves in advance. They are professionals, it’s what they get paid to do!

This is the most amusing chess on the internet. The way you enjoy your wins is re-energising. Moments like when your opponent under-promotes to a knight 😀well worth watching twice. Or more times (clipped it kzfaq.infoUgkxpM-VuCVjpYroabSyvYyR7ZqIF3FJglL0 )
