The Strangest Queen Sacrifice In Chess History

Grandmaster has a weird queen sacrifice in the French Defense chess opening! Watch more of the best chess channel on YouTube for learning how to play chess and openings by Simon Williams.

You know it's a good game when Simon says "are two pawns worth a queen?" When he's already sacrificed the queen lol thanks for being the funniest chess player on internet Mr. Williams!

Hilarious rant at the end. Great content Simon.

3:47 Things a Grandmaster says " I know the queen is supposed to be a good piece "

“I know the queen is supposed to be a good piece.” - I never thought I would hear a GM say that.

GM pretty much won that, other guy was just scuttling around with his king

Wasn't going to click on this video, then I saw the actual Queen in the thumbnail

Watching you play on low time is so stressful!

[dougveganparadisebuilder]

GingerGM doesn't compromise for his audience. Crazy stuff again!

Thumbnail hits a little different now that we found out the queen just got COVID.

This kind of ending is why I am not interested in blitz, except for personal practice of new opening.lines

they gotta make minute speed chess have a rule were you get an extra second in the final 3 seconds for every move so people dont win by premoving faster than their oponent

Came for the "queen sacrifice", stayed for the curses.

[ActuarialNinja]

Simon's gotta do the premoves when in a scramble. Very interesting game!

[torrawel]

As a player of the French defense (it should really be renamed "French attack"!), I find this "sacrifice" really interesting! I've to work it out and try it out in a club game... Thanks a lot for the inspiration!

His mouse sounds like a broken Lada from 1974. I'm baffled as to why a GM doesn't have proper equipment. Simon, get to it.

[Markus-ihgt]

I think Logitech should sponsor GingerGM to advertise their computer mice: `This win against a flagger was sponsored by Logitech .... ;-)'

[zizhdizzabagus]

who cares about the clock. u won this game, it was a cool one

[weltmeisterbayernmunchen]

Deserved the win.Flagged by a running coward

[overlayklips]

Completely winning... or Completely Stumped!!!

I laughed way too hard at c4 move and the realization of what comes next by Simons responce
