Love you Ben Finegold, keep on teaching!
Seriously, if this guy wasn't a GM he'd be a stand-up comedian.
lolz
i think hes actually both. terrible.
nothing
Igor Romko
Joke like a GM.
incorrect
"Why did I forget everything?"
"Coz you're a vegetarian"
Ahahah
Adam Rubinson I loved that bit lol.
Coz u dont eat chicken**
It's true. Causes brain fog.
Truth hurts.
idk what is funnier, the completely unexpected Pulp Fiction reference or the fact that it clearly went over all the little kids' heads.
Haha, all his jokes went over their heads. But he was hilarious!
"I could give a one hour lecture on this. You know why? Because I get paid by the hour." Lol!
lolz yeah
Excellent. This teacher made me laugh all the way
"The other pieces will file a lawsuite".. and this is Sunday Kids' Class...
he's really good at working with kids I think. Mixure of communicating on "their level" while at the same time being very instructive *and* entertaining even for big kids like me. Good Job Ben (I mean of course Grandmaster Finegold... propper respect), class dismissed!
wow I feel so blessed to have so much finegold. thank you both GM Ben Finegold and ccscsl
+saxophoneguy That is not a human acronym... :P
-...Magnus Carlsen said my two favorite words...
Some random kid:
-Checkmate!
That cracked me up.
Check, mate!
That mute edit lmaoo I would be so mad if there weren't subtitles
" I get paid by the hour " hahahahahahah humor in chess I'd a must
I really like that he doesn't adjust his humor to the kids but just goes on like they were adults. And I think the kids love him for that.
PLEASE post more of this guy talking
You've got to hand it to him; it's not easy teaching kids ... especially during a holiday!
Finegolds videoes are among the best chess videoes on youtube! :)
+Martin Brygger Andersen yes that and farts videos
GM Finegold is amazing. I hope to meet him and shake his hand. Thanks to him I love the study of the game
i was not prepared for how hilarious this guy is Lmaooo
This is the best episode I’ve seen. So funny!
I will never know that other GM's on this channel are better than GM Finegold coz I will never watch them! =))
+Naman Vij I hope this is not true, Yasser is 100 points above Ben and he is great, you should watch him and Alejandro Ramirez does actual teaching videos. :)
That is true Anti, but what I meant was GM Ben is so humorous that he makes chess fun! You actually wait to watch his videos not just because they are instructive!
GM Akobian is great too
24:36 queen to d2 I did not see...bam, double check. Bahahahahaha. Love Ben Finegold lectures
Ben Finegold and kids. Such an unlikely combination...
his chess lessons are the best.
no idea how adults go to his class, i'd laugh for the whole lecture jesus
Gotta love that pulp fiction reference at 1:21!
If you're a vegetarian
you better walk into a spoon!
Solid!!
This guy is awesome
he called the director and said ''my opponent said yummy yummy yummy '' and the director said...oh yeah he took a pawn...hahaa
Ben is brilliant at teaching children, this is great to watch and he's fucking hilarious
Bob Seeger reference with the kids. Quixotic.
This guy is comedy gold. Unfortunately, the kids don't get it.
Also, I learned from this video. Thanks!
I love this guy :)
You haven't yelled at children in an hour? Very suspicious.
Terrible.
6:31 "White pieces are all in his back row and my back row" lmao that's so funny the horsey they just chillin'.
pulp fiction reference was litttt
Is the Argen that Ben is talking about, one of the little kids in the lecture? I know I've heard Ben call "Argen" before during another one of these lectures, and I've heard a little kid respond (like 8 I would guess by voice). If it is, it is extremely impressive seeing Argen play like that against Ben.
Yes, it's all Arjun Puri that he's always referencing
Thank you.
Chess master too?!?My friend, you are rounded nicely. Hope all is well for you.
Mmmmmm . . .Fried liveerrrr ! Yeeeah ! Yummm.
We don't deserve GM Ben Finegold.
That train reference killed me xD
on 5...Nxd5, the Fried Liver attack 6.Nxf7 is now considered as a mistake. Black can successfully defend against a seemingly frightening White attack. And in these days, even 1800 players can learn by heart the best line for Black (although I don't recommend wasting so much time in theory for 2000- level players)
Better play 6.d4!, the Lolli Attack...
And better NOT play 5...Nxd5.
BixenteFabregas...If engines were playing they will defend perfectly. But humans tend to make mistakes. But i agree d4 the lolli attack is the most aggressive. I miss the romantic era of chess
21:00 this fork is actually Ahman's gambit in bullet 😁
"You were beating Mike Kummer then you hung mate in 1.". lol
He is so funny with kids lol
do they speak english in What? lmao
that pulp fiction reference, gold
Ben Finegold is awesome. He reminds me of Jonah Hill, who is also awesome.
I’m screaming at my TV!
22:46 I don't get the Bishop sacrifice? he could have forked the pawn, knight and king with his queen, forced his bishop up, then take the knight without losing the bishop right?
I know this is 7 months late, but it wouldn't work because Black has c6, blocking the check while uncovering the queen's defense of the knight.
@@Dreamline78 I like how you address you're replying 7 months later. Also. This comment is a year after yours 😂 How you doing in quarantine? 😂
"Today we're gonna talk about forks...
and how they can help you eat food and get fat like me."
Does anyone else hear distorsion noise around 2:00 minutes when he is rolling his eyes over h6
Ye
so funny dude thank you.
11:40- "Qg2 exlam" :D
at 1.35 , would black pawn d5. then white knight f7 forking Q and R
then black bishop g4 attacking white queen while black knight on f file is defending bishop..
benD'anon fawkes... That WAS funny... Brother after d5 knight f7. u can capture the knight using the king. So its a bad move.
Who is Arjin and can I be his friend?
10:18 Be7 does not checkmate but is also good as the queen cannot escape being captured.
I was playing a game with a beginner recently, our first moves were literally--1. e4 d5 2. e4xd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. Qh5!! (forking my queen and two pawns on my king-side) Qxh5. To his credit, he resigned at move 11 after I feasted on both his rooks leaving him with a knight and two bishops.
19:15 they actually made that happen 🤣
Qwerty is the time of my time to be a little bit more of a ChessClock
Reminds me of a few Monty Python episodes.. :-D
woot woot for the veggie lifestyle
Relentless dry gags... 😂
He said if you’re under the age of 5 you have to leave for this move 😂😂😂😂
“Children children children children children children “
Kids class. "Do they speak English in what?"
Qg2 exclam!
ARJEN!!
LOL you played against him hahaha
*Arjun!
Hahaha very funny lesson. Qd2 exclam! Hahaha
10:16 why not Be2
Knight-moves.
11:10 i got that move
whats worst is that all these kids would beat me in chess xdd
19:13 lol
b4 is explosive
Poor little kids, being verbally abused like that... I love it!
at 13:55 night at f3 can take the pawn on e5
2:58 You know what else is terrible? Not buying Grian’s merch @ GrianMC.com... LoLolol
Im the only one sitting here...
22:45 COME ON I said queen to D2 that was a fork too Dx

Hilarious!
funny killer
ahah the veggie jokes. xDD go vegan if you're against animal cruelty!
This guy is trying too hard to be funny, yet he doesn't have that energy needed to be funny
i dont get how is he vegetarian and also obese. too much sugar maybe?
So rude
cows are fat and they eat just grass. dont matter what you eat. matters how much you eat
***** Is it though?
yes, yes it is...
In another one of his videos I saw him Gulp down 3 soda cans in a 50 minute lecture, Could have easily done with water. So maybe sugar, Yeah .
