Killegar Chess presents: Nigel Short Vs. Jan Smeets, 2010

[KevinByrne2]

What was the point of posting this game? Really terrible play. Even a patzer like me could have done better. There's really no benefit to posting it, much less analyzing it.

[Seamonky72]

this was the funniest game ive seen in a while. i felt like i was playing!

[GoldenJoe]

What an awful game, even for messing around. You said this was GM level???

[Furansowakun]

Thanks for the video, it was very interesting ! :) You seem very strong, I wanted to know what is your elo rate ?? ;) Continue good job !

[SeanGGodley]

I do not have one yet, but I am nearly there - ask me again in a couple of months!

SeanGGodley: we must focus all our attention on the upcoming World Championship.

Anand is boring as hell, but at least he is a man of honour.

We must never forget the disrespect which Topalov's jumped up stooge Cheparinov showed to Nigel Short.

This disregard for the Anglosphere is shocking. I regard it as a personal insult against both the Queen, and the Union Jack itself.

The malevolent and putrescent animus of the Bulgarian camp dictates our response. The enemy of our enemy is our friend.

[SeanGGodley]

Agreed, we must focus on it soon! I have to disagree with your opinion about Anand - he's far from boring! Did you see him playing Kramnik in 2008 for the World Title? Fireworks! Also he is a great guy and a gentleman. I agree totally with your opinion of Topalov, however - and for the above reasons I am 100% behind Vishy. Roll on April!

[barsorrro]

It must feel great to be so good in the game as to want to mess up a tournament encounter just for kicks, offer a chivalrous draw, etc. :D Surely, a very amusing show this, and a good material for the last video of this very nice coverage you presented us with, Sean :)

I enjoyed myself really well, and I'm glad to have discovered your channel -- I'm planning to check out your earlier videos. Thanks!

[SeanGGodley]

For sure man I agree with you! Enjoy the earlier videos, let me know what you think!

[youvebeensmoked]

Thanks for the wonderful series Sean. Looking forward to the next one!

[emi0re]

"one mistake could spell doom, BUT IT'S VERY UNLIKELY AT GM LEVEL" - lmao...

dude, are you really talking about THIS game? awesome comment... =D

[elifieldsteel]

Fantastic series, thanks Sean. I look forward to your next videos.

[dropkicktype]

hahaha

[CosmiconOne]

Oh my bad, misheard your introduction. Anyways, I wonder how the future of this teenager is gonna look like. I would love to see him adding some spices to the legendary legacy of Kasparov with novelty of his own.

In any case Sean, thank you very much for this outstanding follow-up of this eventful tournament. All the support, keep it coming!

[trixapete]

good banter from short here!

[jonathanbirchley]

A fitting final choice, and an interesting line to have ready against the Petroff in a Blitz tournament. Certainly puts a new twist on the term "Grandmaster Draw"

[JohnnySkillish]

Clearly Short was just messing around here. LOL I love it! It's great to see that even at this level someone can still play the game for the shear enjoyment and just mess around with someone. Kudos to Short! Excellent!

[roaddog481]

Great vid. Look forward to whatever your next series of commentaries may be. Thx for putting out such quality vids.

[CosmiconOne]

Sean, could you review the winning game of Carlsen in this round please?

[SeanGGodley]

There was no winning game from Carlsen this round my friend! He was lucky to get a draw against Fabiano Caruana.

[james1x1x1x1]

he didnt win in this round, he drew. but won the tourny on points

[l3xrun]

Certainly looked like they were just having some fun. :) Congratulations to Carlsen, hoping for more spectacular performances from him throughout the year

[Sozialneutralist]

This is a crazy one. Maybe I'm going to play the Short Gambit as well, later. =)
