Awesome games John, you were right there and with the tiniest nudges in the scrambles you could have come out of that 3.5 / 5 easy against a 3000! Always a blast watching your games
Thanks, Mitchell! These guys are so tough; gotta beat them in every phase of the game, and also on the clock 😅 Time scramble speed aside, I'm pretty happy with my play in this one. Good to see you in the comments, by the way!
Thanks for all the recent videos John! It's the best when I finish my day and get to wind down near bedtime watching your videos. Genuinely lookforward to it, and I always click you first to watch on my subscription feed. Sending you the best vibes for your day to day.

I can't believe you held your own against that dude, he is unbelievably strong. What a great match. PSA: anyone wanting to avoid the Panov endgame line-- 6...a6 is a good move.

"Hey guys, it's John." *3 seconds later* "Yeah guys so this is clearly a blunder by my opponent. I can take the queen, his home, his dreams, his aspirations, and there we have it. Watch your undefended pieces. Now let's go to the postmortem."
LOL. I feel that pain. Every chance I've had so far of facing John, I think I could get him out of theory and beat him. After he wipes the floor with me, I go outside and contemplate the meaning of life....

I’ve lost money in Vegas and didn’t bother me, but when I lose in chess, it feels like a heart attack. You take a loss pretty good. I enjoy and learn watching your games. Thank you.

Appreciate you watching, Corey! I won the first IM Not a GM version back in 2020 when it was purely IMs who got invited. I may do it in the future if invited, though I wish they'd go back to that original format and increase the prize fund.
@@JohnBartholomewChess Well I know what I’ll be binge watching next haha, thanks for the reply! I hope I can play you one day, I’m a chess club teacher at a public school in MA, only 1400 rapid though, and my students would love hearing that I got to play you! Maybe one day 👍

You had such amazing games, I understand that is part of the game but it's sad that frequently the result of the game its decided by mouse speed. Not saying that your opponent doesn't deserve the wins, of course it's all part of the game, but I would love to see the same match on 5+0 or any longer time control.

Soooo basically John outplayed a professional GM/child prodigy but got swindled in time scramble. I’ll take care that as a W. John, do it already, get that GM title then just chill. You’re already GM strength. You got this! 💪🏼 ♟️
very impressive, don’t give up on becoming a GM
Damn our boy John is a strong IM. I hope to see him continue gaining strength!
better to be a strong im than a weak gm and no doubt
Cheers!
Sam Sevian is a beast, I remember he had a crazy match against Nihal Sarin at the GCC. Really impressive how well you hung with him!

2 JB vids in one week?? It's like Christmas all over again. Great play, John! I love how you don't doubt yourself when you play stronger opponents.
I can't believe you held your own against that dude, he is unbelievably strong. What a great match.

So glad to see you back on UA-cam John!!!
two in one week! Great match and look at the time management :-) ...much improvement shown in that regard.
Great job John!
Hey John, thankyou so much for the videos. Keep making them.

So happy you are back streaming regularly on YT! Your videos brought me to chess 7 years ago...I am still playing!
Hey, love to hear that!! I was just going through some videos from seven years back, coincidentally :)
Wow, you seriously were playing out of your mind here, whatever mindset you were in was really working, almost looked like a different player

Excellent match and commentary
Man, it seemed like you were winning in every game except the last one. Very impressive showing despite the difficulties under 10 seconds
Ggs! Nice going John

Fun match Minnesota Fins. Your shirt is very fitting!
30:27 is the "remember to manage your time guys" outro tagline a new thing?...because if it is, I'm here for it
😅Should I do that every time now? I'm reminding you guys as much as myself, haha.
@@JohnBartholomewChess Yes please!
"Hey guys this is John"
...
"bye guys, remember to manage your time".
(also, well played in this ep!)
I only watched the first one but drawing a 3k is an amazing feat.

Great performance against a much higher rated player, John!
Thank you!
O, seriously nice, man! Taking a few points offa top player? Kapow, sir. Sevian is a beast, so that makes JB... also a beast. Take a little bow.
So close to being 3.5/5 - nice games John
yayy nice fight with a top gm!
John! Will you ever compete in the IM not a gm online competition? I feel you are so strong, you should do it! Thanks for your content!
Appreciate you watching, Corey!

Awesome game John . How is your GM journey going ?
Thanks :) I've been inactive from OTB tournaments since 2019, but I may fire up the GM quest again at some point.
@@JohnBartholomewChess Aman and Rosen has been posting some OTB games on UA-cam. Even if informal, it would be great to watch if you’d do that too
Lost that fourth game on time; absolutely brutal
John, are you taking on any new students? If so how do I apply?

Overall you played better but he had the quicker mouse in the end.

Flagfest. Half chess - half flagging. And the best part seems to be the flagging. The chess is just an excuse for doing eventually what we love most.
Your time management is not the best, no? Good lessons even for you. 😃
