Most peoples do not understand why he was not a GM, according to chess metrics he reached his peak in 1954 at the age of 41. At that time there was 40 GM in the world. Almost half of them had received the title for past accomplishments. To make it short you had to be almost in the top 20-25 to make the title. It had nothing to do with what the title means today.
i dont think you know whats required to become a GM
Thanks, I was wondering why Ben didn't elaborate on this point. Makes a lot of sense. Leigh's response seems a bit ignorant to me. My mother was born in 54 that's a reasonably long time ago.
Elitism in chess in 1954 no way...get outa here !
@@456death654 it's definitely easier become a GM now than in the early days of FIDE. Fischer became a GM because he qualified to the Candidates. Even qualifying to play in the Interzonal by winning the the US championship wasn't enough to become a GM. Even then they only grudgingly gave the title to Fischer and he was a top 10 player in the world at 15 years old.
@@456death654 Today, basically 3 tournament performance of 2600 or more and a 2500 rating. There is some details like the players you play against have to be from 3 different countries but basically that's it. In Rashid time it was different because ratings were not invented yet so the top brass at Fide voted, basically they selected the 2 or 3 strongest players in the world that did not already had the title.
@@456death654 You are thinking of modern GM requirements.
As others mentioned, Nezhmetdinov won the Russian Federation championships. It was quite a bit different from the USSR championship. For one, chess players from Moscow and St. Petersburg (then Leningrad) were not allowed to compete in the RF championship and had their own tournaments. For example, in 1950 and 1951, when Nezhmetdinov won the RF championship, the Moscow and St. Petersburg tournaments winners were Averbakh, Taimanov, and Petrosyan, and Paul Keres (Estonia) won the USSR's title. This is not to take away Nezhmetdinov's achievements but to provide a better idea of those championships.
Every Finegold video has at least one line that really cracks me up.
This time, it's 28:15 "That meets the demands of the position."
That "clearance sacrifice", taking his own queen with checkmate (28:28)... I'm speachless... What a perfect (finegolden) move!
the little kids 😂😂😂❤
My favourite chess player of all times
I miss Ben yelling at children
Ben! He didnt win the Soviet Championship 38.32.
He won The Russian Championship many times.

Go Ben!!
16:45 what's wrong with Nd5 disconnecting the QB battery?
Edit: Oh I see
Ben: ding liren just broke tals undefeated streak
Me remembering this from a few years ago: 👁️👄👁️
The description: you're Rufus + dufus
calmed her down with "medicine" sure
excellent!
Crazy games!
Nezhmetdinov was the one player that was more 'Tal' than Tal.
Rhasid is the best IM of all time and his legendary lacking of the title just makes him look better
He sacked the title for legend status
Hi Atlanta !"bonjour"from the old continent to our liberators,point that us frenchies forget most of time !
"Did you know a third's more than a quarter cuz three's more than four?"
"Yes I know that."
"Okay good"
Fuck me dead I'm rolling 🤣
Thanks Ben ! that was hilarious ! and that game against Tal was amazing ! Yeah I think playing the Benoni with black is worse than smoking a pack of cigarettes in one day. But if you win you feel like you just climbed Everest !
Also it has to be corrected, Nezhmetdinov was never a "Soviet champion" as he was never the champion of USSR. He was the champion of Russian federation, 2nd-tier tournament, which most strongest USSR players wouldn't play and many, like Tal, Petrosian, Keres, etc. were ineligible to play.
There was no russian federation at the time. Only the russian soviet republic
@@spooderman9122Well, the official name was Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic so my description is just as correct as yours. To quote wiki "as well as being unofficially known as Soviet Russia, the Russian Federation or simply Russia".
why didnt you show his 2 goodest games?
Winning the Soviet/Russian Championship should be an automatic GM title.
he won the federation championship which means players like Tal or Petrosian were not there
Shazam and Kazam aren’t the same just ask Elia Kazan 😅🏀
3:18 lol
IMs today have the biggest UA-cam channels Ben, get it right 38:38
You guys care too much about who is or isn’t a GM… try getting a 1000 ELO first .
More worthy goal is 1500 uscf, not online rating. 1000 uscf anyone can achieve that without much effort. I laugh when players think online 2000 rating is something, try over the board of 2000 elo.
Corny line after corny line after corny line
Rashid was chess artist!
Confusing the audience.
How does anyone think this is funny? No one close to him told him how corny his jokes are so the corny keeps on coming .. Good chess player though ,but corny af! To the point sometimes where you can’t watch it .
I think it’s funny.
Just don't watch it if you don't like it
