Congratulations! Agadmator and Hikaru have already called it your "Immortal". Agadmator even called it the "Simon variation" 😀
hikarus recap of the game czcams.com/video/zDKBbyi6wJU/video.html
The tabia from this game have Simon's flair stamped all over it. I've always loved his romantic attacking style, calculated risk-taking, and geometric madness. This game had it all turned up to 11. Definitely Simon Williams' Immortal.
This is one of the best attacking chess games of the 21st century.
This game has something Morphy about it. The efficiency of white's pieces and the raking bishops, particularly the one on a3. Brilliant game!
I watched this live , the commentators were so excited when they saw the line (via the computer), and both agreed that they thought you would find it . Very Impressive Simon , Respect !
Me too. Brilliant stuff.
And me..❤
I can't believe all the variations you had to calculate. That was beyond amazing! What a stunning game! This is just Art!
Note the beautiful irony of Harry never making it off the mark - reminds me of Portugal beating the swiss 6-1 with Ronaldo on the bench!😊
Congrats on the game Simon, truely magnificent🎉
"Meeting a check with checkmate." Love it. Cheers and congratulations \m/
And it was in this position the opponent declared "F a Duck, everything is mate!"
You would give Tal a run for his money with that brilliancy ! Commentated with a touch of humour 😀👍
I liked it when Blair called it your "immoral" game. I think from a misspelling in a chat. But that name sets it apart. In any case, this is such a brilliant and fun game. I can't get enough of it.
It's still best game of the year so far, Simon. Awesome attack you put together there.
Holy cow. The attacking lines in this man's head are terrifying.....
Simon Williams is my favorite GM.
Win or lose, I love the style of chess you play. Great to see one of your ambitious sacrifice attacks come off so well.
you deserve the win Simon
The Ginger Tal !!
Those Tal games are rubbing off, mate!
Well played 👍🏾
Simon, this Bd6 ...Bb4 Nd2! idea that we never saw on the board really just blows my mind. What a masterpiece. I will be showing this game to students for decades to come.
Been watching your content for the last 8 years or so. You greatly inspired my style (even got your killer dutch DVD and I play this opening at around 2000 level). Love to see your attacking chess!
It's a real pity a little 'fear' creeps in when you are playing the super GM's which stops you playing this kind of 'free spirit' chess against them.
"The fear of making a mistake ensures mistakes"...Gary Kasparov
He at least has another brilliant game against super gm Wojtaszek where he sacced a whole rook
Simon's immortal game! ♟️
Piece of art, so well played. Loved to see it live and thnx for the recap!
It was a thing of beauty. Did someone once say "never play f6"?
Or f3...
Great video! I was glued to the screen. Great Game!!!! I do think it will be remembered for a long, long time.
Game of the year! 😄 I first saw this game here, the CZcams video with Blair Connell and Danny Gormally doing a great job commentating, with no spoilers, which was very thrilling on multiple levels, and have been waiting for you to put out your own analysis video. You are my favorite player, streamer, and teacher, so it was exciting enough just watching you compete, with Blair & others commentating. Based on the title of the video, I went into it with low expectations, really expecting it to be a "boring" game as the title suggested. Then it became so exciting and suspenseful, watching these brilliant and beautiful moves going down on the board, and so many on the internet recognizing my favorite player's outstanding game!
Amazing play , congrats 😅
Very clear explanations, thx Simon and congrats for your tournament! Greetings from France :)
It's the game of the year for sure!! Nice Rxf7 thx Simon you are a natural born attacker
Loved the commentary team of Blair Connell and the legendary Danny Gormally!
Such clear explanation as usual, and congrats on playing an exciting game.
Really awesome calculations!
Beautiful chess. Very glad to see you are back on a roll.
Great video! I saw one recap of this already, but I was waiting for yours, and u didn’t disappoint! High art, Mr Williams! Kudos!! 👏👏👍🏽👍🏽
Congrats on such a masterpiece !
Awesome game and hearing your thoughts on it is top tier content 👏
Game of a life time . The great thing about this game is actually white moves accurate and with forceful creativity quite the master peace thing of beauty.
Brilliant. You are justly proud of this one.
Absolutely fantastic, my patient today recommended this one, and I just had to give this a watch, thank you to my patient, and thank you to Ginger GM on this beauty of a game.
Stunning!
Congratulations Simon - masterfully done!
A great game. Thank you for your insight's behind your opening idea.
Classic gingerGM win! One for the ages.
Fantastic game Simon. Congratulations, and thank-you for sharing your thoughts on it.
Man, what I'd give to be a fly on the wall in the room where GingerGM is chatting with the chess viking about pawn f3 loool
We all share the joy, GM Williams
Congratulations. This game will live forever.
great game Simon. I have already watched Agadmator and Hikaru's analysis of it, amazing.

☝️😇the real Sokrates of♟️chess
was waiting for this - congratulations on the game!
All good things start with "so I was in the pub and we got talking..." 😉 excellent game!
how do you recover from that? I think playing a beauty like that would've affected my play for the rest of the tournament because it doesnt get much better!
Congrats Simon, I was very happy to see you putting something like this on the board. Well done Sir! I'm always rooting for you, and your success my friend. Cheers🎉
awesome "put that in your pipe and smoke it, daughter" moment when you sacrificed the queen 😊
Reminded me of a Fischer game from when he was a teenager...
Beautiful, Simon. Well done!
Love it! Happy for you Simon!
Congratulations on a stupendous game!
I love your chess courses so much, Simon!
I was watching this live with Danny Gormally commentating. Brilliant game. When even Hikaru is impressed you know you've played a good one! Hope you'll be streaming again soon Simon.
Did you mention anything regarding a pipe and a smoke to your opponent after the game?
Brilliant! Congrats.
Absolutely incredible game!
Wonderful and congratulations 👏💪
Well done, Simon!
21:20 maybe Qc2 is a killer blow. Pleasure to see your full thoughts on the game. Ideas like Nd2 is what makes you an epic alltime attacker!
Genius. Beautiful explanation, thank you
Amazing game, really well played. Love the video! Definitely a game to memorize.
Brilliant game Simon! Big congrats, I believe this is a great accomplishment in your career, to have your own "immortal game"!
A very inspiring game, Simon. Congrtualtions and well done!
Congrats on your immortal game! It was a thing of beauty :)
Fantastic bro. Really superb I need to by heart this. Loved your analysis and the way you won the game congrats
Take that Ben Finegold!!
Congrats Simon!!
The tactics were so amazing I could not see all the tactics until they were explained
So good to see that "sack sack mate" brilliancies in the spirit of legends like Bobby Fisher are still possible at master level today!
That was awesome. One of the books.
So good ive watched it twice back to back
Congratulations Simon! If you're ever in Finland/Helsinki I'll buy you a pint 🍻
Great game Simon!
Impressive foresight
Third time I’ve watched this game, but just as entertaining as the first!
What's more than "Wow!"? Just "Mamma mia, wow!".
Fantastic game, really exciting lines and the signature ginger humour. Encore!
You didn't move Harry in your immortal game 😂
congrats Simon on a great game.
Are you mad?!😂 Unbeleivable, even the variations that were not played. Great stuff. Congratulations.
Incredible game Simon!!!
This was such a thrilling analysis and a wonderful game!
Bravo!!
Simon you are a true living legend, love you my friend, keep posting
I played the line at 6.13 in the video at the Reykjavik Blitz tournament against a little kid. It's truly an op line.
Congratulations, Simon!!! Your English accent is very clear. I often use your CZcams videos in my English classes.
Thanks, great game.
_"Did I just play the Game of the Year?"_
Fcukin ayy you did! that game hit the spot. cheers bruv
Wonderful
This analysis is also a demo of almost every chess tactics that exists haha. Pins, skewer, Greek gift, forks, some rare checkmate patterns etc. This game is as good as any, in my humble opinion. Thank you Simon !
Really awesome game!
CLEEEEEAAAAANNNN! Nice work!
"When you start giving away pawns you need to make sure you are not just losing" - wait, so contrary to popular belief Simon does know this monkaHmm
Such an amazing game!
Haha I don't think I have heard of the Boring line of the Slav
But besides having the game of the year, I'm pretty sure we have now the Ginger line in the Exchange Slav
I only wished she played it out on the board instead of just resigning.
Honestly, though this video highlights a sensational game, it is also very instructive. Thanks for the insights and congratulations!
