Hope that Ben never goes away!
Elias Keso I wish Mike Kummer comes back
Janci Vianci I do not like Kummer so much
Elias Keso it was sarcasm. He was to me Jar Jar Binks of chess
Everyone goes away eventually.
We require more Grandmaster Ben Finegold!
6 of the last 8 videos are Finegold's? Checkmate with advantage! 😍
He should be on some tv channel to promote chess
+lolwhat yesme Yeah true
lolwhat yesme I agree 100%. He'd be a great ambassador to the game and alter the perception that chess players have to be these proper, uptight dour people. You can play the game and have fun with it
Not dismissing the class: terrible!
I hardly ever comment but: Another Finegold Video which is not the 1 o'clock class - yay!
Sir, you're the best online chess coach ever. you are our favourite and we like your comedies too. please discuss some boby Fisher games. thank you. stay blessed. love from INDIA.
"I was a good player, then. Now I would probably offer a draw." Haha, love you Ben!
Why does this video last for only 28 minutes? Doesn't Ben get paid for an hour?
Very suspicious!
Michał Ciasnocha half hour class
It takes an hour to prepare and make a half hour video :-)
No... It's 28 min plus tax!
Michał Ciasnocha probably lot of trump jokes
"After the first round I thought you were a good player Ben." Ouch the truth really does hurt.
Mate is mate! Ben Finegold is the best!
Thank you! Listening to Ben is always a pleasure.
Thanks for the lecture Ben!
This is Ben at his most informative.
Background is pretty cool
Thank you Ben⚾, you are a awesome teacher
the ending bit goes so hard, go Ben!
great analysis, and piece play
Praise to Ben Simon, keep'em coming!
thank you very much, from southern Brasil
My fav lecturer:)
28 mins??? I hate when that happens
Kurd Chess But he saw it
What I learned from this video: when you checkmate your opponent you win.
O Finegold, my Finegold
Maybe the audio for these videos should be processed with a low-cut filter. Listening to this particular vide in my headphones I can pick out a distant subwoofer playing through most of the lecture.
Other than that, I always enjoy to see isolated queen's pawn games, particularly those with with the d5 motif, and the second game in the lecture sure delivered.
This video is the best gift i received in my birthday
Manuel Ramirez happy birthday!! :) i hope you're doing well!
Jonathan Donovan Thanks Jonathan
"You meet interesting characters" good lord :D
When you said the guy's name is Aå I think it's pronounced similarly to "ow"
Is that a freaking Gangsta's Paradise playing in the background? Now that's some fine music for fine chess class from GM Ben Finegold.
Edit: Also, I noticed Don't stop believing later on. Nice.
I respect that Tombstone reference, Val was exceptional as Doc.
The tired Ben Finegold, maybe he is like that when have to talk about his golden years, or... maybe hi is already married :) lol. Best wishes Mr GM Finegold, you´re the best.
After Kg7 Rf7+ Kh8 the most beautiful way to win is Qxd4+ queen sac followed by mate with rook plus 2 bishops indeed
"A mate is a mate" *micdrops*
Why isn't Ale Alejandro lecturing??? Long time no see....
Also - is this video a day or so before the wedding? Because GrandMaster Finegold seems nervous!!!!
Congratulations GM FINEGOLD...
Ben is losing weight?
stay healthy Ben!
Daniel Manahan ben is gonna get married *handwaving* again, dropping the mic and party like the early 90's?!? this guy's having the time of his life!!
Staying healthy: terrible
Where's Mike Kummer? Has the poor guy been fired? Although he made some silly comments, he was extremely fun! Missing him....
Is that Journey playing in the background?
Don't forget the circle! XD
I much prefer these old style lectures where Ben goes into more depth without crashing into the weeds. And doesn't go into the long story rabbit trails so much.
These days its just "the engine says im better", "the engine doesn't like that move", "now it says im winning"
Party like its 1995. According to Billy Mays
28 min only, terrible
Sharp
Have you guys done a video or series on alphazero?
Where can I find more Ben Finegold?
if not checkmate in that position bxe5 would be tactic right
Don't forget that circle :-)
Can we get ben finegold to show some bobby fischer games?
He's done Robert Byrne-Fischer at the 1963/64 US Championship, he's done the "game of the century" in a kid's class, and he's also done a Petrosian-Fischer game but it was in his Legends lecture on Petrosian so it was the game Fischer lost.
Edward Bottle i have seen all bens videos...twice :) i want more :D
1500ing the middlegame is my thing
Finegold is hilarious, when in front of adults!
Mate is mate, raaawr
Ben has reached his peak rating in 2006 and became a grandmaster in 2009. I wonder why he always talks about how he used to be good in 80's and 90's.
The short answer is that this is Ben Finegold and he's never being completely serious. A better answer is that his games from the 2000s are very boring, dry and technical (take all your pieces when you've fallen asleep, as he puts it). His games from earlier in his career tend to be sharper and more enterprising, so when he wins, it looks like he calculated well and won brilliantly.
I knew I liked Ben... Tombstone IS my favorite movie, followed by Jaws. I'm your huckleberry.
HI, im Tim and i regularly play at the club. I recorded and edited some blitz chess that he club regulars play downstairs on the daily, check it out if yo care too. More games are to come.
For Ib this game was a Bad Appl. Probably not a very good Memory
Bam! Extra credit to anyone who gets it
28:07 Ben plays Mei confirmed! "Mei is Bae"
7:19 . Did he say he had to get a new computer bc the engine was wet 😂
BF makes me want to see chess in a simple straightforward way and order a pastrami sandwich
MATE IS MATE!!
move so dank that you had to buy a computer because it got all wet... damn.
If only chess could win by extra pawn like football by possession i would never move the pawn
It can but only in certain positions. It’s not always a win
Has Finegold lost weight?
We've got the strongest job growth since 1999
We produce more oil here for the first time
For the first time, for the first time
Get it, get it like 1999
Get it, get it like 1999
It has been, and still is, a hard time
But tonight we get it like it's 1999
~President Obama
Geez, that constant bass in the background is super annoying!
lol
Ben, you have some whack jokes man, but I f*** with you
