Late Titled Tuesday: Unlock the Genius of f5

Simon,"In vino veritas",my favourite Grandmaster,apart from the best.😊

Last!

Andrei was fun, fighting to the end.

SIMon!!!!!!

I must say I enjoy watching a complete wolly faffing about!

OK the loose Queen attack did not work against the Ginger this time! :D

yasss simon keep up the great uploads love watching your content win loose or draw

Legend. I am now off for a 1 hour walk in the countryside as a phone zombie. Thanks for keeping me healthy

Whoever designs these thumbnails deserves an award. They capture attention creatively but they do not bait you in such a tacky way.

Good idea. Play the early TT just as a warmup and then post the late TT.

Where did you learn to create these thumbnails Simon?

a williams blunder. didnt knew that was the name, but i've been doing that for a while too.

Thanks for the upload. One of these days we'll see the return of the Greased Weasel Poo and Psycho Cowboy shit. Tis good shit. Get that pipe warmed up for next week!!

Good show Mr.Bill. 😮

The Tibetan Book of the Dead.

Loved the story about the wine and the blue lotus flower, been reading a lot about Egyptian history.

Thaugt Claret was the thingy in the gratest of Britain.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ double love😂😊

Last game was very sus I think your opponent was cheating

Simon do you ever play TT without commentating? Do you play any better?

Was only expecting one video... this man coming and making my week 😂

Let the cat in please

C'mon Simon, when you hold up a glass of water before starting a stream I will believe it is a new drink for you! Anyway, I personally go by box size when purchasing my wine. Wanna watch those Egyption recipies. If they ever mention Hemlock ignore it ok. Great entertainment as always. Thanks Simon.

I fully support this Wino Gambit, and I enjoyed a good bottle of red wine while watching this video. Cheers!

Just gimme some of that egyption vine will you ye

Enjoy the games thought process and banter

Missing the last 3 assume he passed out or went to let the cat in. 🍷

Two videos in a week I am in heaven

Game two attack on the king Indian structure was pure brilliance

Diesel at window

Drink about two bottles of wine before you start

I remember the bad old days of ginger GM where you would get on the beers and then wonder why you were getting worse and worse during a tournament. I mean seriously Simon. Anything more than one glass is asking for an awful score

Another fine vintage Simon!

That game at the 30 minute mark against the Bermudez made the Grunfeld look busted! Harry attack indeed. Very pretty attack. Though quite obligingly brave (if not foolish) of him to castle into it! That last game was rough since it seemed like black got an easy, ideal Dutch and plenty of positional trumps. But chess is never so simple. Adore you as a player and streamer; favorite by leaps and bounds. Cheers!

That fm at the end moved almost instantly and played incredible.

It’s nice to have an extra rook… in life -Simon Williams, 2025

upload the last 3 games

GingerGM should be listed as one of the most addictive substances known to men.

I knew you were going to lose as soon as you started getting distracted by the cat. Always happens

Simon's TT coverage is undefeated in excellence! Even this truncated one.
Highlight of the week 😊😊

Hi Simon. I am reading Hidden Potential' by Adam Grant. The early part is about chess and why some players succeed and others don't. Well worth a read. It would be a great piece of media content if you got a group of underprivileged kids and schooled them in line with the methods Grant outlines. There is also this book, which may help your time-pressure play; 'How to Perform Under Pressure: The Science of Doing Your Best When It Matters Most'. Ok, I just saw the synchronicity - you are at a school-teachers blackboard in the thumbnail ;)

Play more Jobava London or main line 1.d4. Birds and Trompvsky are just ❌

Plays against one of the world's biggest experts in the Dutch and of course castles long and allows doubled pawns and open diagonal to King to build an advantage. Naturally. What else.

Loada of great chess and quality non chess entertainment as well. I sometimes feel its scripted with the amount stories and tangents but it clearly isnt, great ad lib craic.

as soon as a cat shows up, i turn off. i know how its going to end up. Great first 6 games Simon

There is an app called Vivino or something like that which takes a photo of the wine label and tells you if it's good.

Love you Simon! Can I please suggest that drinking wine while trying to beat the best (sober) chess players in the world is not a good plan!

Why don't you go back to playing Birds Opening? Raven rarely loses playing the Birds...
