"We're going to stick with the Ruy Lopez" *Plays the Italian*

Ginger GM.. love your work you need to keep this content upp. its helpful. once a week please!

"Mozark"

I want to hear more about Moe's Ark please😂 Great content and the beards looking vibrantly fierce. Thanks GingerGM

I believe Twinkle. twinkle... is a theme written by Mozart.

Awesome video Simon! Many thanks. I have picked up chess around the start of the year and struggled around 700-900 for a while now, dabbled with a few openings all over the place (most notably the London System, following your 5 steps!) and now I feel it's time for me to come home, back to the open games and start anew, and this is the perfect video for me right now! So helpful, lots of great tips on reading the board and exploiting beginner mistakes! Thank you so much!

Was really missing some videos from Simon on the past weeks, now this is really some treat! Thanks for all the work!

Um. Twinkle twinkle little star was written by Mozart 🤣. Cracked me up with that whole rant.

Your the best, most helpful & instructive teacher I've ever seen. Day 2, video #3 after finding your channel. Thank you sir!!!

Great Series! Helps and enjoys me very much!

These are my favorite videos ! And I caught the livestream the other day !! Thank you 🙏

Awesome!! Im learning effectively while enjoying myself when watching your videos.

Find this really helpful, even just the basic idea of LOOKING AT YOUR OPPONENTS MOVE is one i consistently fail to do. Thanks Ginger GM :)

Simon, thanks to your chessable courses I went from losing every game in a small chess club's round Robin tournaments before the pandemic to nearly steam rolling them in their first tournament after the lock down. I was a piece or queen up after every game opening. I made a few blunders that cost me first place. I did beat the the first place winner with the Black Lion (that I actually played poorly: messed up some move order early that could have cost me, but managed to win his queen, only to blunder mine back 2 moves later). The club is mostly old Russian guys, so not really push overs. Thanks for the fun and educational content!

You are one of the most entertaining chess RU-vidrs/Streamers! Love the content! Cheats are definitely annoying but I still find your games against them instructive.

Loving the speedrun series!

Very useful. Thank you for this video.

can't wait for you to hit the 1200 area, love this series!

Your every move looks spectacular and eye opening to me. Thank you very much for your fantastic lesson! Your channel is one of the best Chess channels for beginners. 😍🤩🥰

Nice video. In the last game, that h6 move is actually a move I've seen quite a bit. I think people just hate going into the fried liver.

Good stuff. I’m currently a 700 blitz player.

I’m looking forward to some later episodes

"...he's probably now turned Top Gun off..." lol

Isn't 3. Bc4 the Italian Game or the Guioco Piano? You kept calling it the Ruy Lopez which is 3. Bb5

19:40 WELCOME TO THE DANGERZONE! cracked me up :)

can't believe people are so precious about ratings points! I'd gladly surrender my points for the chance to play games against a GM, especially when he's commenting every move.

21:25 Fun fact: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star _is_ Mozart.

Nice video 👍

More of these videos please 👍

Very educational

Speed runs are the best. As a beginner, I love watching you vs low rated players.

A little bit of Joy in a terrible epoche. thx Mate!

Good stuff

we likey speeeed run !!

>After being kicked out of Lichess Speedrunning What happened with that?

'I'm a fr-ckin grand master' hilarious

Who is Moat's Ark?

The music analogy was good but I think Mozart composed the tune for twinkle twinkle.

Love the content man! I'd enjoy seeing some Dutch content from the master! 😎

Got worried for a while. The world needs you buddy! 💪🏽🙂

22:20 - a GM making fun of an 800 and mocking his moves. Really?? Maybe this is the reason why so many cheaters are trying to roast your twinkle ;)

Although I am within 1700-1800 rating range I find these videos very helpful. Always ask yourself the question "why did he make the last move"

He’s back! Get this man 1M followers!

Awesome Ginger GM! But twinkle twinkle is from Mozart tho :(

I noticed a few times you like to call e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bc4 the Roy Lopez not the Intalian 😅

"Don't play trappy openings; there's a lot of rubbish on the internet..." So, so true. Not naming any names.... 🤣

SIMON IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!!

Being able to recognize your opponent's plans comes with experience. The better you get, the quicker you are at seeing them, and the more deeply you can see them. It's "re cognize." You've faced it before and you now you see it again. It's not a black or white ability. It's gradual. And at that level, they're not likely to know more than a few moves of any opening, and little, if any, variations within it.

You keep calling 3.Bc4 the Ruy Lopez, while I understood that's 3.Bb5 and what you play instead is the Italian opening. Otherwise great content, thanks for uploading!

"Twinkle twinkle little start - but then he tries to play Mozart after a month". *googles who wrote the tune for twinkle twinkle little star* Mozart

Twinkle little star is Mozart

hi Simon. Why do you refer to the Italian opening as Ruy Lopez? are they the same opening?

LOL I love how calmly Simon says, “you induce your opponent to play drastic, terrible moves.” Maybe your first opponent wasn’t cheating by using an engine but he was sandbagging 😄 Oh how cynical we’ve become!

Now that I've made it to 1100 I can make all of those mistakes, plus a lot more !

I love the content!

29:30 man i wouldve premoved the """"checkmate""" and cried

Who the heck is Mozarc?

I’ve never said in a game “let’s see how many queens I can get”

🎶 Highway to the danger-zone! 🎶 🤣

Why you call the Itaian the Ruy Lopez Simon?

that pawn u exchange 12:20 was a bishop 😂

Do all British players call the Italian/gioco piano the "Ruy Lopez"?

Why were you kicked out of Lichess?

🎉🎉🎉🎉

This was interesting and instructive, Simon, but players at the 800 - 1000 level often lose unprotected pieces and pawns and overlook fairly obvious threats, so it might be useful to make videos in which you play against 1500 - 1700 rated players, i.e. average club standard, because I would guess that the majority of your viewers are about this level.

When I play people around 800, they almost never make those kinds of silly mistakes.

Highway to the danger zone - totally stuck in my head now!!

It's totally beginning level stream but I want 1500< comments from you

How does he not know the Ruy Lopez and Italian Game? 😂 He keeps calling this the Ruy Lopez but it's the Italian. Strange for a GM!

I feel that, not looking at the opponent's move. I was playing smart, bait and sacrificed, get the rook to 2nd rank. They moved a piece, I gleed and took it, and they promoted to queen, a bait.

Me 2600 on lichess still watches whole video😂😂💪🏻

cheats made me stop playing chess. once i got to 1300 a quarter of my games were against opponents with 97-99% accuracy, after a month of that i quit and just prefer watching

Who is this Mozark?

I doubt there’s many cheaters in the 800 range.

'Premature attackulation' 🤣 quality.

Enjoyed the video, but "hope we don't get any cheats".?. At sub-1000.?.. doesn't that automatically imply they don't cheat - otherwise, their ratings would be a lot higher. I'd be more worried about 2000+- players.

ruy lopez?? 🤣

Id love to see you against some englund crap. Keep it up Simon!

100% cheater found

Playing against 800-1000 is wasting of time
