Was there something wrong with the game score of Giri-Firouzja? I ask because when Ra-d1 was played the white bishop on f5 was hanging. Both players seemingly took turns blundering starting with Ra-d1. I double checked with Stockfish which confirmed the blunders. I then corroborated with other sources which also confirmed the blunders. So either an incorrect game score was made public or these were time pressure blunders which wasn't pointed out in the commentary. Thanks for your timely coverage though, enjoyable as always.
Hey Simon, You are an inspiration. My name is Sumit, and I'm a chess buff from India and a big fan of your presentation style, playing style and overall ginger personality. I'm also a bit like that, I guess. I'm a big chess fan and a decent blitz player. My Lichess blitz elo is around 2300- 2389. Peak FIDE is 2078, now gone down a bit, though. I tried growing a beard like you, but it failed miserably and also started a chess channel ( chessmaster2000); it didn't get enough traction either. But I'll keep trying. Whenever im down ,I watch your videos, and it fills me with a lot of positive energy!! Brilliant stuff! Keep rocking!
hey simon , huge fan of your playing style and you as a person..love from india
I love the summary of the quick draw between Magnus and Wesley. The ba-stards! The only way to dissuade them is mockery. Great work!
You deserve more subs Simon, nice video!
An ideal, compact summary with a bright and breezy presentation style. Much appreciated.
I like your aggressive playing style
Watching your videos over the years has given me confidence to play more attacking and sacrifices in chess
Great update! Really instructive and fun. Look forward to more of these in the future.
Loved this update. Very instructive. Thank you GM Simon
