I live in Iran, and these past few months have been really strange and tough. I was just waiting for the internet to come back so I could come watch Simon's games. It's genuinely enjoyable.

Teaching Magnus Carlsen the name of an opening is such a flex.

Also I love that you try to get interesting games and positions instead of trying to play the top engine moves. A lot of IMs and GMs that try to teach chess and chess concepts forget that 99% of chess players can not play like an engine.

That Dragon 16-move miniature was a beauty.

Hi mate, just wanted to say that the reason we all watch these is because we know that you're capable of beating anyone, we love to see it - and there's not many like that. Keep going!

My goodness you had some absolutely terrifying and vicious attacks this run

Just flip the board and imagine having to defend against it

It’s fantastic to see Simon in a true ’flow’ state! Given the number of times he puts a smile on our collective faces, I always cheer for him, when he’s smiling… That 16-move Dragon miniature is ‘one for the books’!
Bravo (and thanks), Mr. Williams. 👏

25:35 That was the most respectful resignation I have ever seen in my life. But the reality is black is down on time and cannot defend against the mate threat without losing material and getting into a worse position. This is why you play this old, computer refuted lines. Because humans have a really hard time navigating the minefield.
