@@deccyboi4218 A very famous Staunton Gambit was played between Edward Lasker and Sir GeorgeThomas. Sir Thomas was also a badminton fan. His name is on the cup. Thomas Cup. That game can be found on youtube for sure.
Great advise on making an opening choice e.g. for a while I was playing the Grunfeld and getting good results but I hated the nerve racking middle games. Changing to the Nimzo Indian all is now well.
As a 1650±, hearing people below GM's talking about the evaluation and so on always makes me laugh. How many super GM's lost games where the evaluation was giving a sure win. Countless....
GM Ginger; I have been observing your games since 2012. Relating to this video, I used to think 4 moves ahead for Blitz Games, but five is impressive; unless thinking more in advance for other games. I am interested in the new website!
If your opponent opens with e4, can you still play the dutch defence? If you can't play dutch in this case, which defense for e4 will you choose to get to your favorite middle game?
I am glad for you to be bought by Play Magnus for your own sake. I wonder about the autonomy of all all the companies that have suddenly been bought by them recently.
As a avid French defense and Nimzo Indian player, I think after 1.D4 1.e6 2. Bf4 , instead of my usual 2.Nf6, I will now start playing 2. F5 against the London :D
Simon, one of your fellow Chessable authors absolutely craps on the London on his channel. You have done several courses on the London. Do you think it’s a trash opening? He says you can’t learn anything from playing it.
London certainly isn't a trash opening and Andras never said that, he argues it's not optimal for improving players who should expose themselves to a broad spectrum of possible pawn structures rather than play the same type of position over and over.
@@mikoajozarowski5028 I've watched a ton of different chess mentors on UA-cam. Pretty much been through them all. I like Andras. That being said, I play London as white and Najdorf or King's Indian as black. I get a bunch of pawn structures and I feel I made a decent amount of progress getting to 2200 blitz and bullet. Worth noting I'm an adult learner who didn't play chess as a kid.
@@daneQuixote that's seriously impressive, kudos to you. Well that's Andras' opinion. I think he's right in the sense that you would play more different positions if you chose main line openings instead of London, but on the other hand it can be too challenging especially when your study time is limited.
I love simons videos, my username is gingergmismyhero after all, but I find I would watch so many more videos if his theme music wasn't so loud. Any time I fall asleep watching one of his videos the next theme song never fails to wake me up so I find I have to watch other chess UA-camrs videos around bed time :(
I think you’re a natural teacher GM Williams. Interesting and insightful to watch and learn from these longer games win or lose!
T
Thank you for posting these longer games. Very instructive. Good teacher.
Another +1 from me for long time period games - first one I've seen in a while.
How doesn’t this channel have more subriber?
Happy to see long game again I watch every gingergm UA-cam video
Thanks for the longer game Simon, great to see you back making them. Best of luck, hope to see you soon, in another longer game! ^^

Love to see this I always struggle against the london with the dutch!
Do you play e6 first to avoid the Staunton Gambit?
@@PIANOPHUNGUY no because i have very rarely played against the staunton

thanks for this Simon, great analysis, really useful!
Congrats on the business growth - all your hard work is paying off! - well deserved! :)

Perfect. Been wondering how this would work.
Don’t hate on us 1400s, Simon : ) Love the content! Checkmate is the end of the game, put that in your pipe and smoke it!
Hey Ginger, where are you? Pls continue this great series :):) thanks.

"Si vis pacem para bellum"
Attacking is the best defense, slightly older than Bruce Lee, some Roman politicians said this 2000 years ago.
The Art Of War.
Good job as always, Simon keep it up!:)

thanks simon, i appreciate the tips. too bad there was no ducks ;(
If your opponent opens with e4, can you still play the dutch defence? If you can't play dutch in this case, which defense for e4 will you choose to get to your favorite middle game?
Pls do a Grand Prix video, love your vids
Love the Dutch!
Whats ur rating? 😃would you like to have a match?
I have a book on the dutch👌🏼

Premature attackulation is a very legit thing
Hey, Ginger GM!
Congrats on the business developments and give up the ciggies (again)

Andras?
