  • Grandmaster Ben Finegold tours through two games from the 19th century. McDonnell has pawns thrown at him by La Bourdonnais in the first unofficial world championship match and Paul Morphy executes a smothered mate on an oddly-named opponent.

    I thought the answer was that Morphy said "class dismissed."

    The best part of Ben Finegold videos isn't really his analysis but more him roasting kids for 25 min straight.

    So what did Paul Morphy do ?
    1.He cried then
    2.He took a bow then
    3.He laughed then
    4.He went to Starbucks then
    5.He didn't knew what to do so
    6.He dropped the mike.( which means he gave tombstone to Mike kummer)

    Ben's older lectures are best, (like this one) particularly when he has children in the class.

    Oh man, at 4:00 when white played C4 my computer died... And I'm not kidding, the screen went black, it started doing funny noises and I had to reboot it xΔ
    I'm not making that stuff up, it really happened! Well know I believe Ben, C4 is explosive indeed!

  • @strings1984

    @13:13 the only way I can think of to queen, with checkmate, while protecting the queening square; from the queen, with a pawn. That's how you smother someone who is up a rook with pawns in style... Seriously.

  • @calicoixal

    I actually think Kd7 in all 3 moves for black in the Morphy games, they're by far the most obvious moves.

    In total agreement with GM Ben...Morphy is the greatest chess player ever lived. Imagine him with all the knowledge of chess theory n computer assistance if he was alive today. His ELO would be 3000. Morphy was ahead of the curve by a long way. He was the genius of chess much like Einstein in physics and Mozart in music. Class dismissed!

    @valentinrafael9201 6 років тому

    What if Morphy wasn't actually playing bad moves? Instead, he knew how bad his opponent was, so he thought what his opponent would play if he played that, leading to a shorter game. I mean, If you play against weak people, you go for tricks and you hope they don't see them ( and they don't, because that is why they are weak )

    • @12jswilson
      @12jswilson 11 місяців тому

      I found Kd7 because everything else looked like resigns immediately. If I'm Morphy and I calculate that Kd7 is the best move for black, I assume I'm winning.

    The games are not analyzed properly by Finegold (boo): after Bd8 (in the first game, 8:50), what if QXd8 and then Rc8 (Qb6 for black runs into RXf2 threatening Rf8 and mate)
