haha simon love your titled tuesday my fav part was you made your opponent nibble into a blunder 😅😅 keep the videos comming win loose or draw you are my favourite to watch with your talk
I vote for the Black Lion as black and Stonewall Attack as white for next Titled Tuesday. There's really good hiking in the Washington (state in USA) Central Cascade mountains especially in August after the snow melts.
Opening suggestions against E4: Top suggestion is the St George Defense (fellow Basman and Miles fan). I feel like it's strongest in a blitz format and it's a fun, quirky opening like the Black Lion or the Birds Opening. Other options I enjoy: 1. Rousseau Gambit against the Italian. 2. Calabrese Countergambit against the Bishop's Opening. I love the aggressiveness of the King's Gambit and have had fun with these openings.
I don't understand how Titled Tuesday figures out the pairings - Eric Rosen or Gothamchess never get a 3000 rated opponent in the 2nd game, and they are rated higher than Simon.
in a swiss system the players in the top 50% of the score rating wise play down. Eg there are 100 players on 2/2, then the 51st rated player plys the first rated player. So in simon's case 2670 something rating is near the top of the lower 50% so he plays one of the top guys. Last week simon was almost 2800 so he only played up in the third round. The cutoff point seems to be a little above 2700
Simon, I'm 1100 plateaued on Lichess,love your instructions,tired of playing players who sit back and wait for my 1 blunder,it's not the Art of Chess.Fischer was right,lack of creativity,bores me shitless .
Simon, Not sure how Michaelangelo would have felt if he had heard you giving Da Vinci credit for the Sistine Chapel ceiling but I thought it was funny AF.
Alternative suggestion is the Alekhine 1.e4 Nf6 Not entirely sound but can transpose into a drunken knight on acid variation, it's crazy enough it might just work 😂
I was confused also, checked with an engine and Bxa4 is +2.5 if and only if white finds Ba6! Otherwise black is winning. Bxe2 is obviously winning but guess he missed it.
Maybe I am saying non-sense as I did not check with an engine, but isn't ...Rc1+ winning @27:02 ? (And obviously I did not wait for 5 seconds to see the game ends 0-1) And the "fork" ...Nd2 @33:50 is lovely! 🙂 I cannot claim to be impartial and objective, each time Simon loses, I believe it is totally unfair!
In response to e4? Bring out your inner Nepo with a Petrov, or your inner Rosen with a Stafford gambit. Maybe a modern and hope for a "Monkey's Bum" ! How about a "Killer Bird's" course? Cheers Simon.
The best videos on all of youtube are these Titled Tuesdays
I feel Simon is the most entertaining chess streamer on the planet.
We need a Ginger GM Freestyle Friday as well!!
nice Idea
Yes please.
Great idea! Well suggested. Do you play much Fisher Random @GingerGM
We do!!!!
With beers!!
How horrible must it feel spending half your life getting to 2400+ then getting your arse handed to you by a Grob? Lovely stuff.

Your San Francisco Bay Area fan has to stay up past midnight to watch your Titled Choosday when you drop it!
Titled Tuesday with GGM + a sip of wine = weekly dose of laughs. Thanks Simon.
Haven’t seen the black lion vs e4 for ages
Introducing the Ginger Grinder !!
Awesome as always Simon 👏
You come out with some crazy shhh. GIVE ME THE HOOOVER 😂 54:33
No regard for human life in that game. I genuinely believe that was the most aggressive game I’ve ever seen 😂😂
"Not as magical as last time"
Scores half a point higher.
Best content on youtube.
Thanks Simon, always fun to watch. How about some Black Lion next week?
Your very funny and entertaining ....last week was amazing proves you can beat these 3000+ players...cheers from Alabama
Far too hard on yourself Simon. You go for it! That’s why we enjoy watching your games.
Great content Simon. Thank you.
Lots of great advice.
Thanks buddy.
ITS SIMON FRICKIN WILLIAMS ALL UP IN DA MIX!
The Scandinavian against E4 for the laughs....my opening suggestion.
Another fantastic titled Tuesday on a Wednesday 😁
you have helped my chess so much! Cheers from Norman Oklahoma!
Go Simon!
An Aussie watcher here 🇦🇺 another entertaining video
My prayers have been answered
I'm American but have been to New Zealand. It was incredible. Spent most of the time on the southern island traveling around
GOAT
The world's favorite grammy!
The entertainment always does though!
Great stuff and very respectable result. I'm in New Zealand, so if you do make your way down this way would be happy to show you around Auckland.
Come to New Zealand, would love to show you around!

Starting over 100 points down on last week. What happened?

Hi Simon what a great video very enjoyable to watch I would suggest the Czech Pirc it it might suit your attacking style and take them unawares :)

GingerGM is better, so enemys are stronger
in a swiss system the players in the top 50% of the score rating wise play down. Eg there are 100 players on 2/2, then the 51st rated player plys the first rated player.

gigner is the most positive character among GMs
Nice to see the bird. I like to castle and Qe1 and go for a checkmate when opponent fianchettos like that.
Enjoyable video as always 😀👍
My suggestion for next titled tuesday: vs e4, Scandinavian def. modern variation; vs d4, Budapest gambit
Simon, I'm 1100 plateaued on Lichess,love your instructions,tired of playing players who sit back and wait for my 1 blunder,it's not the Art of Chess.Fischer was right,lack of creativity,bores me shitless .
I'm so frustrated,I have chess rage, screaming to myself looking for a way forward,can you do a course on how to overcome the sitting backers?
It sounds like you need professional help, and not for chess. @@BrianBailey-r2c
Very entertaining
Simon, Not sure how Michaelangelo would have felt if he had heard you giving Da Vinci credit for the Sistine Chapel ceiling but I thought it was funny AF.
If you want the sun to shine then I'll cast you to my TV
Game 5 was a demolition, definitely deserved a 'put that in your pipe and smoke it son'
Wow that 3rd game against the german CM, if the germans were to fight the WWII with same resilience the cm did, they might have even won)))))😂❤
Good stuff! Don't believe I've ever seen you play the Scandinavian against e4. Also USE The name blocker!
I think the Scandi needs to be played against e4 next week!
Good or bad scores - top TT content anyways
you should be one above a super GM imo
Highlight of the week!
By the way, what do you do against the knight tour against the Grob? Where black goes Ne7 to g6 to h4 to attack the g2 bishop ?
Alternative suggestion is the Alekhine 1.e4 Nf6
Not entirely sound but can transpose into a drunken knight on acid variation, it's crazy enough it might just work 😂
🤘🤘🤘
Petrov's Defence after 1.e4 next time. But whatever will do as long as you post a video next week. Many thanks-
Next week's e4 suggestion from me is the d6 Pirc or Czech pirc ❤
1:14:46 Is Bxe2 a better option? Just curious
I was confused also, checked with an engine and Bxa4 is +2.5 if and only if white finds Ba6! Otherwise black is winning. Bxe2 is obviously winning but guess he missed it.
question:what do you want me to play against e4 next week? Portugues Gambit!
or latvian gambit(but that probably not happen :))
I'd love to see you play a Spanish against e4 Si! (not that I think you will!)
Epic last game
❤❤❤❤ when is the 2nd one expected?🎉🎉🎉
Is that a Mitsubishi Eclipse in the picture? what is that
Dear Ginger please bring some romantic Kings Gambit which other opening could bring such a madness thank you for consideration.
Maybe I am saying non-sense as I did not check with an engine, but isn't ...Rc1+ winning @27:02 ? (And obviously I did not wait for 5 seconds to see the game ends 0-1)
And the "fork" ...Nd2 @33:50 is lovely! 🙂
I cannot claim to be impartial and objective, each time Simon loses, I believe it is totally unfair!
Vs e4 play something really awful like the Greco Counter Gambit e4 e5, nf3 f5!?
Will the Learned GingerGM be going to Blackpool chess next week?
I got my protein shake ready.. let's go!
1:23 he missed Nxd1 losing queen
play the Alekhine against e4 next week!
You've got the godly touch, daddy. hihi
38:01 ADHD didn't even exist when I was younger 😂😂
54:14 get your motor.
Kalashnikov? Next week
DAY VAY DAY
some reallly bad play, but good fun
Never miss you videos, please please change the color of the board.
ELLO
In response to e4? Bring out your inner Nepo with a Petrov, or your inner Rosen with a Stafford gambit. Maybe a modern and hope for a "Monkey's Bum" ! How about a "Killer Bird's" course? Cheers Simon.
I jerk o ff to your streams. Thanks GingerGM
