My left ear is now a GM, but my right ear is still at -1900 ELO.
lol same here. Are we like Left Ear GM buddies?
lmao
Yeah I skipped through the video and it was never fixed. I'm skipping this one.
funny thing is that, I was only using the left and didn't notice
@darknightoftroy Elo (not an abbreviation btw, named after a Hungarian guy not called Peter, thus not all caps) is basically on a logarithmic scale, i. e. all that matters is the difference between you and your opponent to calculate the odds of winning. As such, negative numbers would be no problem at all. Some of the finer points of calculating would have to be updated, but theoretically the principle would hold with negative ratings.
"my rook is really well-placed in the corner here. that way, if I resign, they're already set up for the next game"
... bruh
LMAO Love that
Lol
Haha!
Ouch 100
>Were you good in 1990?
>I wasn't even alive!
>What kind of excuse is that?!
♥
I died 😂
ok boomer
yeah, the kids should have said "ok boomer' but... too early
The fact is, 1990 was one of the last years in which Ben could beat Magnus.
Ben Finegold is the king of dad jokes
I thought he was the queen of them, since he's all over the board.
its funny tho you gotta admit
ive learned nothing from him, i just watch him for entertainment.
He is the Chess dad of King piece jokes.
Yep
Kudos to the parents who are brave enough to drop their kids off to be left to listen to an hour of Ben Finegold's ramblings.
what if the parents or parent wants to get rid of the kid? they'll gladly send them to ben :D
I would definitely let mine, he is awesome
If only the kids were kids and wanted education to be presented to them in a fun way. Oh wait..
I would.
Roy Sunshine Indoctrination is an inherent part of raising children. It's literally impossible to avoid, unless you leave the kid in the woods, or only interact with them to bring food(even then, what kind of food has an influence on their preferences).
"He used to work at the chess club"; "this video is going to be shown in a week I don't want to lie to them"
What a savage.
L337 Fragger I couldn't tell if he was joking or not, but the second time I watched I'm pretty sure he's just savage af.
He’s savage.
I was looking for a comment about this, cuz I was like, he was so smooth and in character I couldn’t even tell there was a conflict there fr.
The jokes in this video are neither acceptable nor winning any prizes, yet somehow they're pure Fine Gold.
you stop that
Yours as well. Except the gold part
"So what is he doing? He's crying. Right. That's because he's French"
fukn dead.
I actually didnt get that one
27:18 the Magnus game
TheEHCSMasterE TheEHCSMasterED I scrolled through a good 25 comments looking for this, thank you 😂
The hero of the comment section
Can anyone play out Rook to D8 as his first move? When my King is in a tight spot I start trading.
@@danielburbano556 Maybe there's something better, but after ND4+ and trading you're down the exchange. Definitely better than getting mated, but against Carlsen, well, you're losing anyway
The MVP
When he was born, his mom AND the doctor said he was special... LMAO
Because it was the doctor's kid;)
My left ear now got better at chess
I thought my headphones were getting old.. thanks disproving my theory
lol
SfinX0o i was like oh snap my soundsystem is broken
Calling Trump a joke is an insult to comedy.
jajajaja very good
I checkmated him and he checkmated me, so it was a draw xD LOL
xDDDD
I cracked up so hard at this. There were probably a couple kids thinking this was possible LOL.
Terrible :D

"If you even dream of beating me, you better wake up and apologize" -Muhammad Ali
or something like that
A lawyer? What?!? He couldn't even defend his knight!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Terrible!
then he cried like a grandmaster. because instead of lawyer's book, he read Ben's book. and when he was on lawyer's test, teacher told him that he read the wrong book. Terrible
xD
What was wrong with be5? The lawyer is crushing.
Ben, please tell the editors (both Rufus and Dufus) that the audio should be on both channels, I mean left and right. Their sound editing is suspicious...
It's because it isn't Ben Simon :/
If you have a good audio on the left channel you just copy it to the right channel and you have a perfectly good mono sound instead of this iritating left-only version...
So they don't even need to fix the mic
Oh man, this is horrible. I am not even going to listen to this,bye.
Piotr Kaczmarski very suspicious
lol he is a legendery troll
MSK Chess oh hey robbie
I seriously love this guy's antics.
I subbed for Ben :)
@@NyR1337 You sound like a pussy.
No he is a grandmaster troll
"That way if i resign they're set up for the next game" Possibly the funniest line in this whole video 😂
Magnus was like 'this guy's a grandmaster?'
DonMt worry Ben cos Magnus played himself at 10 years old, on move five he was like 'who is this Magnus 10 and why are you people losing to him? What's wrong with you' then at move 10 he resigned
Wow, I assumed that Ben had never lost a game before. I don't think I can be your fan anymore.
I watch his youtube channel, and he totally kicks ass on lichess.
Try harder instead
Well carlsen is rly high tier and young
Ben is still good tho
He lost the battle, not the wat
lol
Do you know why The book was so short? It was written by Nigel Short.
im dying
Robb V. S
Robb V. What was that?
I die a little every time Ben tells a corny joke, but somehow I can't stop watching. LOL!
Ben Finegold is the most cool dude i have ever seen, i swear.
"He'd probably lose on time trying to find where to mate me." This dude...lmao
Ben needs to work on his clairvoyant abilities - I said Rxg4+ and he still called me incorrect :(
Horrible!
robholx Your comment was edited. Very suspicious.
Terrible*
Who knows the answer? You! Incorrect! Who else? .... Oh wait you didn't answer. dead haha
“I used to live in Ann Arbor so I knew how to work on my night moves” What a legend
"And now, you have to actually find a good move. Not your specialty." I actually grabbed a scrap of paper and wrote that down. There is no better lecturer. At least not one named Ben.
Who did Fischer beat for the world title?
"Paul Morphy"
I sneezed out my chocolate milk.
Hahahah damn so funny, and casparov was 9 is no less
Lol
"Do you know what would happen if I beat Magnus? I would wake up and apologize" XD XD XD +100500 to my good mood XD
My right ear feels deaf...
Yeah what the fuck
i thought my headpone broke
me too
I only have the rogjt earpiece left on my headphones so I had tonturn the bolume all the way up
Why can't people edit a video properly? How does imbalance audio still happen in this day and age?
"You at home!"
:D
"INCORRECT!"
D'8
D8 was the wrong move
-Were you good in 1990?
+We weren't even alive!!
-What kind of excuse is that?
God, I'm dying 😂😂😂
this game was played in Check Republic, thats why there were so many checks given.
Czech Mate Dxh2#
Who doesn't like Czech maids?
ooof
Czech your spelling.
Zax Nice
“After he lost a piece, he quit chess and became a lawyer” 😂
I am GM Ben finegold and you're not! Hahaha liked
Vivek Gawande but what if Ben watches this...
The plot thickens
So what happens after you get unplugged from the matrix ?
Audio sync very suspicious...
Ben doesn't actually speak english. He just rambles incoherently at such speeds that you begin to think he's actually saying something.
"3 out of 12. Solid"
-Me after a test I didn't study for
Ben, you are still the coolest chess teacher out there!
Yes, this guy is great. And a decent chessplayer. Not to bad! Cheers!
gm="decent"?
He is the most cool teacher i have ever seen. It would be amazing and awesome to have him as my teacher . Very funny guy and an amazing chess player.
as an adult, i may laugh my ass off during the class. but if am a kid, i may cry alot since my teacher is sarcastic af.
None of them cry because kids can actually feel if there is or isn't hostility reallly well. They don't get all the jokes but they do laugh
@@samuelallan7452 well said
yea, tbh my teenage self would be really discouraged by him
Cry like a grandmaster
"Don't read a book like a Grandmaster" has got me splitting my pants for some reason.
My left ear loves this.
Donald Trump jokes and only audio in the left Chanel, mmm suspicious
Never change Ben, you're amazing.
yup... he was on top form in this clip.....
I love how this guy shit talks these kids. I want you to teach my kids chess Ben.
"You know what happened when I beat him? I woke up and apologized." Lolol
Question: at 17:02, what's wrong with Rad1 with some counterplay on queen.
or even Qc6 to win a piece back after knight is lost? Thanks
It's not a win for white. If queen takes C6. All black has to do is Bis to D7 and now ur attacking whites queen and Bis. It's a lost for white.
A class with Ben’s jokes gets deeper and deeper into Ben’s joke meta I loved having teachers like this they keep you on two tracks at once ones funny af and ones the content which always helped keep me focused
Thanks for the upload!
Ben: Were you good in 1990?
Kid: We weren't even alive...
Ben: What Kind of excuse is it
i love how this guy teaches chess.
Me too
I have a question. In the game where the Rooks are in the G and H file and Ben moves his Rook to H3, couldn’t white move Queen to H2? No matter how it shakes out, white ends up with a rook and black has knight and Bishop. Probably still winning for black but better than checkmate. Am I missing something or does this work out the way I think it does?
The audio being left side only is slightly disturbing but the level of savagery that Ben unleashes is sooooooo good that I don't even care
This is the right lvl for the class (if you all are 700 points better)... im dying
1000-1400? Dude, they do not even know how many legal moves were available in that position and you are telling me that their rating is 1000-1400? They are surely under 1000 to be honest.
why wouldnt you do bishop to d6 on the first board? is queen/knight suicide-takes knight favorable or something? i dont get it
“Right, I asked a German guy and he said ‘nein’”
hilarious and informative. great combonation
To fix some sound-problems, i recommend to move the plug a little bit out, so you have the signal on both sides, if you use headphones.
Loved watching your game with Magnus!
Couldnt the knoght move to d4 since pawn protects it and it protects knight from queen?
Another quality Finegold lecture
33:00 I asked a german guy and he said "Nein"
4:07 I have a small question..
What if I take the knight on G6, and after my queen is taken I take the bishop on E7 with check? In that case, I have sacrificed my queen for three pieces. Is that better for white?
I don't think so, cause blacks king is way safer, the white pieces are disorganized, the rooks unconnected...
Also just e4-e3 is threatened (not that you can't take e4 on accout of the rook pin against the two knights) and the Queen will invade on g2
Black is probably winning
lol that thumbnail... epicness
I love how he is asking 'do I wanna lose my queen?''
Someone help me out - in the Ra3 game, why can’t white counter with Qa2?
Ben's face in the thumbnail is clickbait
I fuckin love this dude's teaching style, he's doing everything right. He's so funny and the kids don't even appreciate it fully yet.
lol at 37:42 it sounds like Ben asks how many illegal moves white had, which is probably why that kid answered a thousand
Does Ben seem a little more... coked up than usual to anyone else?
This guy is both brilliant and hilarious. Excellent player, with a wonderful sense of humor.
yeah
Put the URL of this video into VLC Player and set the Audio -> Stereo Mode to Mono.
"you with the right answer... resign?!?!?" 😂😂😂 30:43
"Should we mix the lav audio in stereo?"
"Nahh. Mono, in the left channel. People love that."
Can you possibly do next lecture for my right ear?
I love you GM's and IM's that teach me how to be a better player; thank you!
for the second game could white go knightD4 and then you could take his knight but then pawn d4 and you could take it again with your queen or bishop whichever you didn’t take his knight with then his queen takes your queen/bishop?
What about Qxc6 after g5 in the second example?
That was challenging to listen through due to technical issues, but what an amazing class otherwise from Ben, keep it up CCSCSL!
i am big fan of you ben. i will be always eager to listen ur lecture
Ben: Checkmate's a good move. Unless you're playing me
21:50 what about H3? I know white would be still losing, but not checkmated or am I wrong ?
Some audio problems, SLCC, but you guys knew that already ;)
"I asked the German guy and he said "NEIN"".. pure gold left unappreciated, not a single giggle
33:00 --- How does this score works? There weren't draws?
Ben: what's the best answer? You with the right answer!
Kid : resign
When I first started watching Ben, I initially thought that he was arrogant. When I quickly discovered he was joking, I began to really appreciate the depth of his humor that so often goes over the heads of his audience. (28:09 is a great example.)
“It’s a really short book, you know why? Because it was written by Nigel Short” joke so bad that it made me laugh 🤣🤣🤣
Audio is messed up after 2 minute
That 'Knight Moves' joke is absolute gold. Ben is a treasure.
you are a great teacher ben thank you
This guys humor is awesome
Karma I know, It's too bad some people are too serious and say he's being mean
audio is mono please fix
This is actually two things in one, you could be entertained as well get better at chess. awesome GM fine gold
Thanks for the help with my knight moves, Ben
"I checkmated my opponent, and he checkmated me??" (patronizing the 2 o'clock class again!
"Checkmate is a good move"
-Ben Finegold
next agadmator quote
"when he was born his mom and the doctor said he was special"
That is one of the most savage things I have ever heard.
the names of the teams in that pro chess league are hilarious. Norway Gnomes (with Carlsen) St. Louis Arch Bishops (led by Ben Finegold . . . some would say that it was led by Wesley So but they would not be fans of Finegold), and the Montreal ChessBrahs, lol, lead by Fabiano Caruana.
St. Louis Arch Bishops works on three levels - Bishops are a chess pieces, The St. Louis Arch is a famous landmark, and the St. Louis baseball team is called the Cardinals. Cardinals and Arch Bishops are both ranks in a church.
Cardinals are definitely named after the bird, but yea it's a double entendre I suppose.
plus the archbishop is a chess piece in a chess variant!
Svidler on the roof 😂😂😂
If you're having problems with your sound, try slightly unplugging your head phones from the jack.
Welcome back!

What if Ben watches this video?
