Best chess teacher So many amazing series 1. Climbing the rating ladder 2. Puzzle solving series 3. Using chess as a clock 4. Using a physical board to explain endgames. Thank you John
47:15 The "surprise" checkmate must have been stinging for your opponent. I think he missed it, too. Nothing burns more than falling to the mate you didn't even see.
Awesome! I was honestly just thinking the other day about how it's been a long time since you've played a Titled Tuesday and how I've missed watching you participate! Hope you can do it more often again!
John - I’ve loved watching your channel since you tutored my team at Eastview. Keep it up! Also love the jiu jitsu reference, i practice that myself. Appeals to the mind of chess players very well! Cheers.
@@JohnBartholomewChess It's mainly to keep up the Scandi hype, but it's not a good opening, as Black trades away a center pawn with White's c-pawn. It might transpose into a Queens gambit, and it might catch other players off guard, but then again there's no traps in it as far as I know. Maybe save it for bullet games :-D
Hi John, What's with you voice in the background when commenting? It freaks me out a bit😮 Example I hear it around 17.33 & 17.41, it keeps repeating "Hey John this is guys" and plenty other times throughout the broadcast. Great to have you back 👍
Really appreciate all the good vibes, guys! Cheers! ❤
Good to see you back sir. Your TT's from a few years ago got me through the pandemic blues

Yesssss. Love to see you streaming TT again!
Appreciate you watching!
YES!!! A tradition unlike any other! 🎉🎉🎉
Just want to say thanks for editing out the stuff in between games. It's those little details that set you and others apart.
thanks for posting! the sense of danger around 36:20 was impressive and instructive. i am sure i would have snapped the rook and lost 😂
Thanks! Yup that moment almost got me 😀
Love watching TT, thanks JB

haha was just watching you and then watching another video and you got shouted out on the ALL-IN podcast
Too funny! Someone tagged me with that on Twitter - I def gotta watch now 😊

Love these Titled Tuesday vids John!!! Keep 'em coming ❤
Thanks, Ryan! Hope you're doing well.
John's videos/live streams are entering a level of nostalgia! ❤️
Good games against tough opponents. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks for watching from down under!
Glad to see you back. No one dares play e4 against you 😅
That surprise mate caught me off guard as well. :D Gotta love that moment of panic like "What happened??" and realizing you've won.
Keep playing these John! Top 10 one day
He's finished top ten before

Great to see you in the comments, Caleb!!
Appreciate the kind words hope you and your family are doing well - please tell your dad I said hello, too!
I think I've done the surprise checkmate once in my 13k games. Usually it's my opponent surprising me with checkmate.
😂
Game with Eljanov was totally fascinating and full of different imbalances, happy to see your open and honest streams!
Thank you very much!
I don't know why it's taken me so many years to realize this, but your nickname should definitely be "Gentleman John."
Haha it has a nice ring to it :)
Yo, the golfing example was perfect. Love your channel!
I really missed these; thanks!
More to come! Thanks for watching!
Nothing better than the surprise checkmate. Unless it's me getting surprised😂
Really liked the stream, instructive games, hope you'll be able to play these regularly - great content)
Glad you enjoy this content!
Great stream, very instructive ss always
These were some great games! Very instructional as well. Love to watch your videos!
Thank you very much - happy you found these games instructional!
Yeah, loved this video. More please.
Good to see you back, John
Very glad to see you uploading again. Been a fan since i started playing chess more seriously in 2018. You have made a big impact :)
Happy to hear! You're a pre-pandemic chess veteran at this point :)
I'd love to see you explore the Anglo-Scandinavian some day, 1.c4 d5
Any particular ideas with it? Seems like an inferior Scandinavian unless Black can get some sort of reversed Smith-Morra Gambit out of it...

Hey guys, this is John😊
we want more
I'll try to play these more regularly 💪
great thumbnail
Love it !
im very excited to see you back in the field john
Thanks, my friend Basidh!!
Right on
Great to see you back John! 3:43 I wonder if white could have tried axb5 and after cxb5, Qe2 would have been a lethal blow perhaps.
I’d watch every video you make if you analyzed the openings some
Your hat tip salute at the beginning went to 11, I’m pumped!
Finally
Go John
yes sir
1:10:00 you look very winning / at least send the pawn down right or could you lose if you lose the h pawn
Good to see you back mate, we missed you!
🍻
Welcome back! more please ;)
Thanks, Billy - cheers!
It's good to see you, John! After a long time.
