In the last game after he played e5 I was actually screaming at the TV 'PIN THE BISHOP! PIN THE BISHOP' rooting for you - well done on a great TItled Tuesday!!!!
At 1:50:53, "16th!!!, say it one more time!" It says 12th the whole time, I was fricking crying lmao. "It's getting better!" Most typical Simon moment ever. Great performance, Simon
I think your mentality was really strong this tournament. Rather than breaking down after a tough loss in time trouble, you rallied! I'm pumped vicariously. Love seeing you win. Thanks Simon.
Had he won those he wouldve gotten stronger opposition and surely lost some more games, in the end swiss system works out to give each player exactly the score they deserved
I was on the absolute edge of my seat for that whole last game. Huge congrats! PLUS SIX! And the best part is, you did it your way. "We're gonna have to gambit it"
"I've lost 30 seconds talking nonsense as usual but at least harry is flying off the board like a tornado on acid" 😂 we love you man. I would love to have a pint with this guy. Greetings from Spain!
Well done Simon, and don't forget that you had some good losses also. On man your benko reminded me of your old d4 dvd, I have to watchbit again. Keep it up.
Well played squire!! When you mished that pin on the bishop in the last game my heart sunk but you pulled it out of the bag. Genuinely delighted for you Simon. Great entertainment as always.
Well done, Simon. I watch many a video cheering for you to make 8.5 and you finally did it. Glad I saw it, congrats! Learned a lot from watching you play! Thanks for the laughs!
Congratulations and thanks for the entertainment! Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be watching this GingerGM Titled Tuesday was very heaven.
Congratulations Simon. 🎉 Persistence pays off. I really like the attacking chess with a nod to being solid and positional (sometimes). There’s a lot to learn from your dynamic style, embracing the imbalances and complexity and holding onto the initiative for dear life. Probably too much for my old, fried brain but I coach my son who’s scarily good at that kind of stuff.
Great job!! Like how you play chess. You are one of the more exciting players to watch cause you put it all on the line! Really happy to see you perform here. Your unorthodox openings really put your opponents on their heels. Especially in blitz! I can almost imagine what they are thinking/screaming by how long they calculate.
Oh man, my fav. episode. Cracking the oldest record in your streaming history. Praising Tennent’s, We had a chat about Tenent in your christmas streaming 1,5 years ago… I was in Bologna - Italy - for christmas eve. I never understood why you knew so much about Tennents. It was your brother…haha You nailed it today, Simon. 8.5 (12th place) was in the lower end. Congrats!
As a Scotsman, that comment about Tennent's super was just hilarious. Love your videos. Congrats on 8.5 points what an amazing chess player your are. Imagine how good you could be if you didnt drink special brew and Blue Tennents haha
Wow you're level these last few weeks has been amazing. Amazing score. So much fun to watch every week too. Thanks man. (1.47.51 I was screaming Rb6 - that works right?)
Wow Simon!! Soo happy you’re showing your true colours. You were better in each and every game!! Playing the chess you like and we like. We enjoyed as much as you. Way to go “son”!!
"Many great people in this tournament, and Hikaru" 😂
In the last game after he played e5 I was actually screaming at the TV 'PIN THE BISHOP! PIN THE BISHOP' rooting for you - well done on a great TItled Tuesday!!!!
Yeah he missed that simple move. But it's ok
You and me both!
Same here! 😂
I'm an 1100 and I was screaming too
😂 Joining! 😂
At 1:50:53, "16th!!!, say it one more time!" It says 12th the whole time, I was fricking crying lmao. "It's getting better!" Most typical Simon moment ever. Great performance, Simon
lmao😂
I was as nervous as Simon in that last game. Really wanted to see him win that one. Nice one, Simon!
Same! 👏👏👏

That was as smooth as a slick piece of snow sliding like a sledge on a slope 👍
I think your mentality was really strong this tournament. Rather than breaking down after a tough loss in time trouble, you rallied! I'm pumped vicariously. Love seeing you win. Thanks Simon.
"The bastards tricked me" 😂 you're a legend mate
"let's not worry about the king"... another cracking video
Great performance Simon! And you had winning positions in two games that you lost in time scrambles. That was a 10.5/11 performance in my mind!
Had he won those he wouldve gotten stronger opposition and surely lost some more games, in the end swiss system works out to give each player exactly the score they deserved
All that training Simon did for boxing seems to be paying off mentally
Who needs Hikaru's skill when you're the heavyweight champion chess boxer and a 2900 flag knowser.
That is the best youtube content out there. Thank you Simon.
Like a tornado on acid is now my favourite quote.
I was on the absolute edge of my seat for that whole last game. Huge congrats! PLUS SIX!
And the best part is, you did it your way. "We're gonna have to gambit it"
Simon plays the absolute craziest things and we love it! Best chess streamer!
"I've lost 30 seconds talking nonsense as usual but at least harry is flying off the board like a tornado on acid" 😂 we love you man. I would love to have a pint with this guy. Greetings from Spain!
I so enjoy watching Simon play chess. Your a breath of fresh air Simon! Keep it up!
Good to see Harry's back in the game. Haven't seen him pushed up any bums lately and was getting worried.
This is the highlight of my week. Well done Simon, cheering for you all the way!
Well done Simon, and don't forget that you had some good losses also. On man your benko reminded me of your old d4 dvd, I have to watchbit again. Keep it up.
I love when you post these! Thank you Simon
That has made by week.... Not just the score, but the joy and passion for the game and the emotional rollercoaster.....
Well done Simon , that was really entertaining. Loved to see Harry cruising up the aisle
Italian here, and in Rome we say DAJE FORTISSIMO!! Great job!
I like the "smooth as a sledge on a sleigh" image. It describes your chess well actually. Cruising along nicely for a bit and then ... chaos!
Congrats Simon! Well done!!
Well played squire!! When you mished that pin on the bishop in the last game my heart sunk but you pulled it out of the bag. Genuinely delighted for you Simon. Great entertainment as always.
Well done, Simon. I watch many a video cheering for you to make 8.5 and you finally did it. Glad I saw it, congrats! Learned a lot from watching you play! Thanks for the laughs!
The best UA-cam channel! I remember Tennants Super from my youth. It tasted like rocket fuel, but went down better than Carlsberg Special.
Congratulations and thanks for the entertainment!
Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, but to be watching this GingerGM Titled Tuesday was very heaven.
Brilliant Simon! You had a real fighting spirit this week with some gutsy moves too!
Brilliant stuff Simon !!
Special Brew, Tenents Super, moist pawns, Black Lion slaughter. It's all here and record score. Fkn bravo man 😅
That was the most exciting TT yet! Looking forward to watching next week. Thanks for providing the best chess content on the internet.
Brilliant stuff - you deserved this (and probably more)!

Well done Simon. Pleased for you. Love and peace. Tim

He is just so likeable, great content as always!
GingerGM is the only chess I watch on UA-cam since months 📈📈📈
That last game was a butt clencher though, GGs Simon!
I never miss a week. Thanks for the good entertainment Simon.
Magnificent performance Simon you didn't do your usual trick of getting bogged down on one move and losing on time 👍💪
Wow, let's goo Simon! 🔥🔥 Great games, great entertainment as always

Excellent performance my friend. Very entertaining. I enjoyed thoroughly thank you very much
Congratulations on your best score! Great entertainment as always
great stuff. Final game, R vs. B, missed pinning and winning the B near the end.
Loved that last game I was nervous watching it well done Simon 😀👍
Epic score, congrats
Simon, how you can play with such skill and hilarity with the clock ticking is just amazing to me. Big congrats on this week's result.
Was going over some of your older videos and noticed you lost some weight! Looking better my dude keep it up!
Amazing Simon!! Brilliant video! Great to see you bring it home.
good ideas from you GingerGM, congratulations!
Congratulations!!! Also it was fun to watch
Go to Florence. It is wonderful. Will be going there for first week of September. Gorgeous.
Great session, Simon! Way to go, sir!
Fantastic!! Well played Simon!
Hell yeah dude congrats.
Outstanding Simon, well done! You were close to winning the games you lost as well. Outstanding.
Ho ho what a rush!! Go Ginger Simon!
Better than any prime time tv entertainment
Very happy for you. Well done! Looking at the games, I dont think 9 points is completely off the table either :)
Brilliant, Simon! Well done!
That was professional chess.
Amazing last game. Congratulation Mr Williams.
Yessss! Love when Simon wins 🎉
Absolutely sick games and sick performance!
Damn fine show there cowboy!
I was watching Ben Finegold's stream yesterday and could see Simon was doing well.
Looking forward to this one.
Brilliant well done. Amazing score
Florence is nice. Sicily too. Naples. They'd all be up your alley.
Always cheering for you
