Visualizing The Chess Board In SpeedRunning 

Best chess teacher out there! Keep it up Simon.

I have to say that I watch most of the main RU-vid chess content providers: Eric, Levi and Daniel included but, yours are so accessible and accommodating to someone of my level. Fabulously instructive and a reminder to me that there is no rush....control the centre, develop your pieces, castle etc. Brilliant. Thank you so much👍

Simon "I don't get scared' Williams does it again.

Nice Speed run brotha Simon! You got me inspired to try it.

I'm subbing because you winked at me at the end.

Great teaching style. Thanks. I don’t know what gchess is, but I’m heading over there to check it out now.

Using more time and constantly figuring out what my opponent wants to do really helps a lot! I'm on a 10 games winning streak already

Great video... I learned so much from u. Really my fav. chess player ❤️ 😄

i'm confused, why do you say at 17:17 white's bishop is better at g5? Its hanging there. Do you mean around 16:37 white should develop it there? But then black can just kick it away with f6.

Why? Why? I have no f----- idea!

I love listening to you lmao. Entertaining af always. Thanks for the chess lesson :)

You are fantastic! I really enjoy the series and not only because of the knowledge of such a GM like you but the fun of listening and playing jokes even on yourself just make it so easy to watch and really enjoyable. Thanks very much!

Love the series keep them coming... maybe a dedicated video for the Dutch vs the London setup?

My favourite YT chess channel. Great explanations and entertaining as always. This speedrun series is especially useful for ageing hackers like me!

24:09 I would have played Ng4 instead of grabing the h4 pawn

Your narration is so crystal clear, so easy to follow up and entertaining. Thank you for this great work!

your speedruns are superb. in true GingerGM spirit even speedruns are used to help and teach others. I've only seen something similar from John Bartholomew and Aman Hambleton. Thank you for offering your time to help us understand our mistakes

Why don’t you play on a 10 minute time control ?

Can confirm for whatever reason 95% of players around 1200 blitz out every single move in 2 seconds without any thought whatsoever. I'm the opposite where I play too slow, get to a winning position but have 20 seconds left vs my opponents 4 minutes. Moral of the story is bad players like us shouldn't be playing blitz lol

Great content - these are some of the most valuable tutorials for me

I love this series because 1) no one else does this to the level of analysis that you do and 2) it's basically the things we need to hear at this level

At 8:38 is Qh2 not direct checkmate?

Almost some top-rate blagging

Lovin it Ginger G. I am a 2000ish level player and I still find these basics informative. Really looking forward to the higher level games in the 1500-1900 range!

24.08 ...Ng4 is mate in 4. The threat is Qh2 mate and white can only delay the inevitable by Qxd6, losing the queen with ...cxd6, then Rc1 gives the king a temporary escape square, but ...Qh2+ ...Kf1, Qh1#.

Random 1100: Finds a sweet winning tactic against a gm Same 1100: just straight up hangs his queen ten moves later Chess is wild

4:06 Why not block queen with e6, so both rook and queen are attacked. You don't lose a piece.

Simon Ginger GM I have or rather can handle those 1000-1400 to 1500-1800 but i do feel like those guys do cheat 1500-1800 I believe they do cheat Simon so can you do something about that i find that i do enjoy 10min videos because it is an honest chess game no one wants to waste 10min cheating and not enjoying but like i said am i wrong or right . I am an upcoming grandmaster in South Africa i do work around the world i just have never been in the UK but i will be one day and maybe we can meet . Who knows i can maybe be come your prodigy and open a chess club here in SA where you can visit all expensive paid for and if the South African government gets involved then all the better for us we can maybe put SA on the map with the help of GM Ginger Simon i thick the title comes first am sorry about that

What? Grandmasters are people too? What a GM! Missing #1, later #2 (or 3, sorry), wow, what a school! I mean that message is the best lesson we patzers can get ... thnx and cheers!

24:12 Missed Checkmate. what do you think about bishop h3? His pawn cant take and if he does rook f3 you can queen g2 checkmate. If he doesnt move his rook or anything after you play bishop h3 you can knight f3 check and if he takes queen g2 checkmate. If he moves his king to h1 you can play queen h2 checkmate.

Finally a GM who also seems to play the greatest 1100s who ever lived as I do. Every other speed run series the 1600s lose on move four, making me wonder where my automatic title is. Good to see the tactical genius beginners come alive and make a pro sweat it out. I still hate this game, but I feel a little bit better about myself. Not a lot, but at least a little. Thanks, GingerGM

is IM Rosen just super strong, or are you a very weak GM? Would love to see you two box it out on the board. Still, respect for you posting this, yikes. Fun watch regardless!

Thanks really appreciating the speed runs especially with lower ratings as this is where most of us our making our mistakes. Cheers. subscribed!

Brotherr... . why didn't you take b7 bishop with your queen at 7:12...?

Bro, you should think about laying off drinking. I dont think you'll like where you are headed.

This is the best series... Keep on doing more of these simon... These are fun and really helps to improve the chess understanding... Thank you very much ❤️

First game:why not pushing the pawn to attack the queen and then take the rook?

Do you also sell bridges across the Hudson? (I lost that piece on purpose)

24:07; N-d6 forks white's queen and rook.

Brilliant video thanks very much for it!

At 24:38, why not play Nd3 forking the queen and the rook? Any ideas from white like Rf5 (attacking black queen) are covered by black's bishop.

renison123 got banned. 😂

@8:41 could of got a quicker mate with queen to H file

I'm not much of a sweater but chess also gives me sweaty armpits too! Love your work Simon

Baby_Dolphin... oh my word... 👀

Simon Ginger GM I have or rather can handle those 1000-1400 to 1500-1800 but i do feel like those guys do cheat 1500-1800 I believe they do cheat Simon so can you do something about that i find that i do enjoy 10min videos because it is an honest chess game no one wants to waste 10min cheating and not enjoying but like i said am i wrong or right

More Speedrun please Mr Williams!

Wth you were almost losing 😭

Awesome Simon. Thank you.

Do you even GM bro?

Great again GGM. Really enjoying the explanations

Thanks for these! Get this man 1M followers!

24:39 i think you missed Nd3

4:00 what is wrong with e6 here?

cool shirt Simon! :)

Great content!!

07:15 I would have taken the bishop (Qxb7)

But Simon you have played hippo. So it's not bad just passive right? That means one just got to lear it right?

I'm enjoying your informative videos. Great content and explanations. Thank you.

3:32 *_"Ee's playin wifout mutch fought"_* [proceeds to blithely play fxe5] *_"Owh now, worra disgustin blundah!"_* Another instant comic relief classic!

You should post those videos even more ! It’s sooo good ! It feels like a Netflix tv show that we don’t wanna to see the end !

Great video! you make it look so easy to spot a weak move I believe I can do it, until the next time I play...

33:33 ARRR! Simon you're a ginger pirate!

Great explanations from the OG, thanks!

“Be water”. Bruce Lee

Fantastic video! Thank you

Lippy looks great today

Good points made, as usual! Yep, this should help indeed.

26:04 opponent had bxf7 kxf7 qh5+

Superb. As is tradition.

Love these!!! Thank you!

Love these speedruns

Very helpful!

2:02 - "But then he gets some play" I've heard that expression more than once, what does it mean? Thanks in advance.

Simon channels Linda Ronstadt (It's So Easy) @ 8:40. NICE comeback Simon you really sweated out that first game with the victory. Love your channel, ty. Simon wins game #2 and thx opponent for the respectful resignation @ 15:20.

For some reason I just don’t believe that you are a gm. Something seems off and they are at a different level. For example. at 24:12 kg4 wins the game easy. I’m not even that good a player and I found it. How can you prove that you are gm?

There are more chess permutations than there are atoms in the universe. No wonder the game has drove me insane, lol. Great videos by the way.

You can split a chessgame in three stages. It starts with opening theory. Second stage is the ability to calculate. Third is technique. Having a plan or a strategy is just a fancy way of saying what chess is all about; taking your opponents pieces/King.

You missed a check mate in 2 moves. You need to wake up and grow a pair!!

Only joking
