    I get the frustration of trying to be a chess coach, likely to kids who just want to play for fun and socializing, and their parents want you to magically make them better even if they don't want to learn.
    I'd have the opposite problem, I'd be genuinely trying to learn, but it would take a lot of repetition for me to retain it, so that's also frustrating. But I've been watching Ben since his early St. Louis chess club lectures, so it's almost sort of marginally starting to sink in. Maybe. At least I remember all the rules. Play bishop f1. Never play f3/f6, always retreat, always repeat, knife f5, always sack the exchange, c4 is explosive, get your minor pieces out and castle, don't make random legal moves. Pat Buchanan, confusing the audience, gawking rabble. Vegan. Obviously, frankly. Delicious. Who's turn is it, cry like a grandmaster, it's never the fried liver, ooooh Perrier, you're too good but I'm three good. Mainly, etc.
    I remember the time I crushed my opponent using nothing but references to the Simpsons.

      Also that the answer is fries. And I used not to take Ben's rules seriously but I started using most of them unironically and it led to better chess.

    After the story, move 2 was unexpectedly hilarious!
    From there a lot of the moves for white were pretty intuitive based on each current position. So I can see where the high accuracy percentage comes from.

    Glad you suggested the slow-mo. Watched it live but it was still worth coming to UA-cam for that. Our hero in the game should check out the Chessable course "Starting out with 1. d4 by GM Ben Finegold"!

    The opponent only blundered because he was so confused by 2. b3. He would have played good otherwise
