Don't sue me. ♥chessclubstl For those commenting he died. No he is alive as ever. And he is starting a chess club in Atlanta. chessclubandscholasticcenterof...
the hardest I've laughed was when he was explaining that it's usually more fun and interesting to look at games of players who are slightly worse than super GMs. But then he goes, "Not like Wednesday nights bad. Because I cry a lot on Wednesday nights... That's my crying night."
There was one where there were only two legal moves, the person from the audience suggested one of them and he said "you're almost right" :D that one should be included!
I don't remember the video, but my favourite is when he fired: - "Wow, my ex-wife lost to Shahade in 16 moves?" - "Yeah" - "No wonder I divorced her! Terrible!"
You didn't have the one where he said that he had to stop playing chess, because he can't move any of his pieces, ' cos he's got so many "never play" rules. Terrible.
First I hated him but then I got his dry humor and I can't get enough of his golden lectures because of his deeply knowledge of checkers (am I right?) and his great sense of humor. Nevertheless guys the title almost kills me, It was very suspicious and misleading like Qh9...terrible...you scared the shit out of me. Now that I’ve seen that Ben is ok I would say that thank you for the great video, and I'd like to salute to Mr. Finegold bc your videos are pure gold Sr. You are not the rotating GM, you are the man for the job so keep going with such a great job of teaching young and old minds how to not suck...for me is little to late but at least you are doing something nice with this Arjun kid and for the rest of us that appreciate your time, jokes, knowledge and hard work, well done. Greetings.
Very suspicious. -------------- Had to slap my own forehead because I finally got the "C4 is explosive" joke. Terrible. (Now I have to rewatch a lot of videos because I had thought he was talking about (dynamic) pawn moves in general)
I almost died when he made the joke (now part of his classic repertoire) that the player he was narrating about had made a smart move because they were now ready for the next game (i.e. by "undeveloping" most or all their pieces).
Except it's NH3... NH3 is the formula for ammonia, which does stink. That's why 1. Nh3 is called the Ammonia Opening. It's possible Ben is confusing NH3 with CH4 which is methane. Methane is the biggest component of "natural gas" and farts. Methane by itself is odorless. Mercaptan, CH4S, is added to methane to make natural gas smell like rotten eggs (for safety).
GM Ben FInegold: "Is anybody a Richard Nixon fan in here?"
Five year old: "He resigned!?"
GM : "Yeah."
omg I almost choked myself
I like it when he calls absolutely losing moves "risky".
Only a little risky. Checkmate gives white a small advantage.
Or when the answer is mate but they suggest taking a pawn or something. “Mate is slightly better”
E4 d5
And bc4 is slightly risky
"very suspicious"
I wish I could do that
There's only one legal move
Resign 1:42
- kid in class
the hardest I've laughed was when he was explaining that it's usually more fun and interesting to look at games of players who are slightly worse than super GMs. But then he goes, "Not like Wednesday nights bad. Because I cry a lot on Wednesday nights... That's my crying night."
LOL
Two dislikes - Mike Kummer made same mistake twice.
terrible
ken west! incorrect
A compilation of Ben's jokes?
This UA-cam video is pure [Fine] gold.
I would agree. And he is a super GM too. Super funny that is.
Fine gold already means that it's pure.
Ben is such a legend! I always put one of his chess videos while I'm about to sleep. He has probably lulled me to sleep more than my mom.
LOL. Ben is some fine gold.
Lmfao I'm about to fall asleep and I just put this this on
@@lileeper same here
Suspicious
Same. Sleep like a Gran Master
checkmate with advantage.....
Ahh Qd8 checkmate gives white a small advantage.
Lol
😂 can he do it after two beers? It's that two many?
- White is threatening mate, how do you stop it?
- Resign.
Classic :-D
I like his comment to the kids: "you guys aren't grandmasters, you cannot jump over pieces yet!" Hahaha
LOL only GM's can make illegal moves.
The truth hurts
There was one where there were only two legal moves, the person from the audience suggested one of them and he said "you're almost right" :D that one should be included!
I don't remember the video, but my favourite is when he fired:
- "Wow, my ex-wife lost to Shahade in 16 moves?"
- "Yeah"
- "No wonder I divorced her! Terrible!"
Ill find it and add it to the next video I am making. Should be uploaded in late January sometime.
ua-cam.com/video/k6j3bf_a7vk/v-deo.html this video 3:33 is this joke
imo his best take
You didn't have the one where he said that he had to stop playing chess, because he can't move any of his pieces, ' cos he's got so many "never play" rules. Terrible.
missing '"I am not a rook" - Richard Nixon"' Ben Finegold
That Rook, like me, is...? OVERLOADED :D ahahahahaha I was waiting for that a looong time now :D
143 LIKES AND 0 DISLIKES!!! Thanks everyone. A least my audience is not as bad as the OneO'clockClass™!!!
What school did some of these jokes go to: old school
First I hated him but then I got his dry humor and I can't get enough of his golden lectures because of his deeply knowledge of checkers (am I right?) and his great sense of humor.

Theres an under 600 tournament? Noooo im 601 i cant play
Terrible :( Good thing I am 599
Thats definately a moment you missed :P
A 599 is like a grandmaster on anti-chess? :P
Ben: Whats better than losing and being gracious? Kid: DYING!
"Kris Kross is worse than Hitler" - Ben Feingold, off-camera
didnt get that joke
@@sunritroykarmakar4406 the joke only makes sense if you know Joe
@@pasqualesimonelli1513 mama who?
GM Ben Finegold is hilarious, but when I saw the title of this video I thought he had died which was not so funny!
:( Never die.
I agree, that was my first thought too. I absolutely love BF
when i saw the title, *i* died.
Terrible.
always repeat.
Been watching a lot of Finegold. Now whenever I win a piece I can't help myself from thinking, yay Ben
This man is a LEGEND and a treasure! Great vid bro!lol
Stand-up comedian Finegold at his best! Great stuff!!
I didn't even know he was sick
Reminds me of that tragedy
There's one where he's absolutely roasting the kids and I've been trying to find it for years now
This is the kind of video you want to watch EVERYDAY
1. e4 DOUBLE EXCLAM
loved it!!
Thanks!
Awesome as usual
Very suspicious.
--------------
Had to slap my own forehead because I finally got the "C4 is explosive" joke. Terrible.
(Now I have to rewatch a lot of videos because I had thought he was talking about (dynamic) pawn moves in general)
LOL
I always thought so aswell and just got it lol
What does it mean ?
@@RishabhSharma10225 a c4 is a bomb that's why c4 is explosive
Play fortnite u will find c4
SO GOOD!
What a legend!
‘Overloaded’ 😂
R.I.P.
Nice detail with the cutscene of young frankenstein
I love comedy and chess.. this is the perfect guy to watch!
hahaha... Always make the same mistake twice hahahhahahahhahah... omg.. I watched all finegold videos but i think I missed this bit... sooo funny
Finegold!!
What a legend :D Soo good
I love how he has no filter
If Family Guy was real, Ben Finegold would definitely cast as Peter
Seriously different Peter, but yes, absolutely.
its 2024, I was scared when I saw the thumbnail, thinking he was no more. That is my UA-cam Chess coach.
1 of the best Chess teachers.
We need a Ben Finegold bashing Ken West compilation.
Awesome!
Yes!
Ridiculous
Amazing
damn 1 o'clock class! lol, thanks to Ben for all the awesome videos!!!
OneO'clockClass™
the charisma of this guy is so entertaining
Bam!
Suspicious.
He is the best! :)
A hoot ....go Ben !
Good job Greg!
Thanks so much!
RIP Ben
Well my all time favorite is :
-Ben : you....
-Someone before even opens his mouth!
-Ben : Incorrect!!!!
terrible
Frankly ridiculous.
I am laughing to tears for the overloaded joke
Wow, I would love to meet GM Ken West
1:46 made my day
this is gold
Man, the truth hurts.
That's why he's the best educator ever.
RIP Gene Wilder
"Overloaded"
You didn't heard that.
I almost died when he made the joke (now part of his classic repertoire) that the player he was narrating about had made a smart move because they were now ready for the next game (i.e. by "undeveloping" most or all their pieces).
hope he played chess, he would make a great chess player!
Yay GM Ben! I never get tired of listening to him!
10:18
Been looking for that one for a while.
The same mistake twice is a Seirawan expression!
My favourite is when in a kid's class the kids wouldn't stop talking, so he said "No having fun allowed! This is chess!"
rip
What is the Rossolimo lecture at 2:21?
RIP Ben Finegold [`]
Good news: it's the next year and now he seems to be alive again.
go ben!
the best thing is, always make the same mistake twice is a part of always repeat.
That video was better than mine! ;-)
ben "2 beers is too many" finegold
9:04 I'm crying.
You missed an amazing moment from a morphy lecture when Ben says" Black plays bishop f8 completing undevelopment" great video nevertheless.
Ben finegold fans of the world unite!!
Were's "All about the Benjamins."?
the NH4 joke was a new one - super fun...
Except it's NH3... NH3 is the formula for ammonia, which does stink. That's why 1. Nh3 is called the Ammonia Opening. It's possible Ben is confusing NH3 with CH4 which is methane. Methane is the biggest component of "natural gas" and farts. Methane by itself is odorless. Mercaptan, CH4S, is added to methane to make natural gas smell like rotten eggs (for safety).
@@2199SPUDMAN NH4 is ammonium and it smells like shit, just like NH3 which is ammonia instead
I was shocked
LoL! This guy's humor is like deadpool. But much better!! "Im... Gm..... Sierawaaaan" haha!
C4 is explosive :D
there's good and there's not good. Ben's good
Exactly!
But he saw it..
"On the next move my opponent didn't allow me to checkmate but he lost. Do u know how? "
Class in confusion
"He resigned"
1:20 was savage
Truth hurts
Hes got michael scott esque references
"Always make the same mistake twice" is a Yasser rule, not a Finegold rule, so the kid got confused. Understandable!
Car-U-ana?? Car-U-ana!!
5:15 did that story make any dollars or just sense, didn't know he was a dj quik fan
dollars or cents...
GM BF "do you know what to move" random person "idk" GM BF: "that's correct you don't know"
"Always make the same mistake twice" )
It's the same Guinness.
I don`t like the jokes of GM Ben Finegold!! I LOVE them... the truth hurts!
Is this dude already dead I just played against him like a week ago
No
