Ben: "who's better black or white?"
Kid:"hummm..................Black!"
Ben:"close, i give you one more chance"
The kid should have said green to throw him off.
@@stephenoproulx5252 😂😂
That's racist, he should get deleted
@@janjansen7129 Comedy's hard, keep trying.
@@janjansen7129 god i hops you're joking
"Why is it good?"
"Because it's, um, checkmate"
This kid has more confidence than I will ever have.
Jec first he was like, “It attacks the bishop, and if you take it’s check so checkmate 😂😂😂”
Kid: "There's a fan in your computer?" GM Finegold: "Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's my only fan."

@@David_F97 That joke doesn't make sense...NEXT!
It actually is quite funny. You have to be an adult to understand it.
John Miller bruh no you don’t
Joshua Ishimine >>> He should have replied " - Of course there´s a fan! It has fanjet-technology you know! And I´m Double0 64 the secret chess-agent!"
"Say no and ill say correct"
"No"
"Correct!"
The humor is so above the kid’s head I’m dying
The thing is, younger kids are already happy that there is a joke. Not getting it isn't as important as the general mood a joke makes. Also, when you don't get it, what he says makes no sense, and nonsensical talk in itself can be funny, again especially to kids. So while the humor he is delivering may fly over their heads by miles, the humor the kids are receiving may just be real and enjoyable.
@Ulkomaalainen That makes a lot of sense :)
"The title is under the table actually"
"Where??"
😂😂
Kids tend to be pretty short
Yeah I know kids are so fucking stupid like sometimes I miss school to laugh at stupid kids
I wonder if that boy has any reoccurring nightmares about "WHAT'S THE NAME OF THE RIVER?!"
that kid who doesn't quite understand the jokes and goes like "HUH?" everytime
"Not crazy like fox news" HUH?
@@yellowcactustvz4929 I think they enhanced the audio on that “HUH?”
Not sure if I'm here for the chess or for Ben trolling the kids but either way this is addictively good.
Trolling is the bonus when you're a Finegolder!
actually true, i cant stop watching altho ben is sometimes annoying too and i say out loud fuck off haha
Kids can be annoying, but they are also cute at the same time. They are not malicious, just ignorant. Fun to watch.
I think his major obesity contributes to his personality.
I agree, he doesnt look very healthy. Trolling is good sometimes, but NOT when you are teaching young kids. He makes fun of them if they dont know the answer. Or maybe they know the answer but his trolling fuckes up their confindence...
"If I taught the class in Norwegian, no one would understand me, not even the Norwegians"... haha!
The Budapest Gambit is named after my favorite player.... Mr Gambit.
The Budapest Gambit is named after my favorite player.... Mr Budapest. xD
The King's Gambit is named after my favorite player, Mr. Joe King, whose famous quote was: "I'm only Joe King."
Actually, Caro-Kann is named after people. Horatio Caro and Marcus Kann.
... I think he was Joe King
@@andrew_owens7680 r/wooooooosh
My favorite strategy is to spend the opening getting a perfect pawn structure then hanging a knight.
Halloween Gambit?
My favorite is my King sacrifice.
I feel this comment lol
@@robs5688 idk why that’s my fav gambit but i keep losing whenever i do that gambit? Any tips?
@@talanez I think Eric Rosen has a some good tips on it. He seems to have a love for niche trappy openings like that.
Ben: "Required to bring pom poms to class"
Kid: "Hmm?"
Legend.
Ben finegold was years ahead of his time, having only fans in 2018 is unfathomable

im sorry your efforts were not duly recognized
A true hero lost in a sea of comments
Thank you sir.
u should have timestamped the jokes instead of wasting ur time on this...gj tho
I love the kids "Huh?!" Whenever you make the little jokes, those kids probably go home so confused about everything. Love these videos
He gets the joke the next day.
"I have had this position more times than you've had any position. I have had this thousands of times"

"Mate's good 'cause you win." - GM Ben Finegold
He's so low key patronizing no matter what the topic. It's frankly amazing.
Ben is more than gold for chess - he's Finegold.
LMAO. I love this guy!
Ben needs to sell a shirt with "very suspicious" on it... and probably some chess pieces or something so the shirt isn't very suspicious. I would buy the hell outta that.
"Checkmate. With advantage" on the back.
Or ‘Truth hurts’.
Thats sus
Or "Never play f6"
Sus

Anybody catch Ben accidentally say “ these are good tits?” I was dying laughing
48:55 “Budapest! ;D” “That’s your favorite city?” *kid screams in confusion and disbelief*
6:43
'' it's crazy like a fox, not crazy like fox news''
'' huh?''
im dead..
Can you do a video on all the life and games of Mr. Gambit? Seems like he left quite the legacy.
I think he once beat Mr. Attack, in 1925 madrid open
Chris Atkeson Guys dont forget about Mr. Defense. He was a true innovator on the black side.
He played a lot against Mr. Declined and Mrs. Accepted
20:35 RESTORATION: 100

I'd say another bonus point for knowing that Budapest is made up of Buda and Pest.
whenever i hear that "joke" the person thinks theyre the first one to say it hahahaha
46:21
- I'm the best
- no, you're not :)
What he talks about in the end is one of my most painfull memories in chess. I was rated 1250 at the time an Lichess decided to give me a 1490 opponent for some reason. I played a great game, took a loose knight and was getting ready to checkmate in two moves by my strategy. I was taking a pawn and expected a recapture with another pawn, basically giving the knight back but forking the king and rook afterwards by a queen recapture. And he didn't capture. He moved his second knight. I din't think much of it, thought he had given up, proceded to let the knight go packman mode and collected another pawn. Well his pawn then forked my queen and king and it was GG. Still hurts to this day.
If you still play chess you are probably now rated much higher than you were back then so you don't care that you lost to a 1500 lichess opponent as now you see 1500 lichess players as horrible players.
Ok Ben Finegold is damn hilarious and I can't get enough of him messing with kids for mild amusement
Kid: spazzes our
Ben: “exactly”
Regarding the "joke" at 36:30, below is a quotation from the relevant part of the script of 'Marathon Man' (1976 movie; script by the great William Goldman--check out his fiction and non-fiction books).
[Professor to the class] -- I say, "Let us hush this cry of progress till years have passed." That's a quote. Who said that? Come on. Who said that? Well, somebody must know the answer! Tennyson, Alfred Lord Tennyson. You can't compete on a doctoral level and not know "Locksley Hall". I hope you all flunk! Dismissed.
...
[After class, Professor to the Dustin Hoffman character] -- Why didn't you answer that Tennyson question? It was obvious you knew.
[Dustin Hoffman character] -- I... I don't know.
[Professor] -- How am I to fathom your mind if you continue to hide it from me?
thx m8
Thanks I came to the comments specifically hoping to find this.
This is what I was looking fore
I was looking for an explanation. However I can't relate your Marathon Man quote to what GM Feingold said. He said "he was thinking that, but he didn't say nothin' ". What's the connection?
I don't even play chess, but some how stumbled upon one of the videos with Ben yesterday. Needless to say, I now have a newfound interest in chess, and will keep watching videos with Ben because he makes learning the game entertaining.
How you going now?
Also curious
@@checkmate1430 he overdosed heroin
6:40 "it's crazy like a fox, not like a fox news.....confused kid: HUH?" :) :) :)
You have serious issues lol
Jonathan Ferguson
It is very common for people who fixate on things (such as playing chess) to miss out on other things. Such as educating yourself politically. He has probably never even watched Fox, he just understands the liberal mainstream perception of them. He is politically ignorant and shouldn't be making political remarks, these kids don't know any better and they probably assume _he_ does, which he doesn't. That is why in public school, teachers aren't allowed to politically express themselves. I'm very intelligent but I didn't become political until I was in my 20s. Ben clearly hasn't even become interested in politics yet, many people never do. He may not have even understood what ideologies he was mocking.
Almost all Ashkenazi Jews are intensely interested in politics and I'm sure Ben is no exception. He's mentioned in other videos that he's a Marxist (or in his words, that he and his father consider the average liberal to be right wing.) He's a walking advertisement for why you don't let people into your nation who don't share your culture or your values.
Jonathan Ferguson
If we lived in a Marxist society, there would be no Grandmasters because it isn't egalitarian to have someone be better than another, it creates a hierarchy, a _class struggle._ Shouldn't good chess players be successful? Or is that unfair to the bad chess players? Ben obviously doesn't believe these things, he is just confused and politically naive, he may not even know what Marxism is exactly. If he was ever interested enough in politics to have his ideas challenged, he wouldn't be a Marxist. Though I do find it strange how all Jews tend to share that same ignorance. As if they are genetically predisposed to that ideology.
"Ben Finegold can't be educated politically if he's a Marxist"
Says someone with no idea what a Marxist is. Or, apparently, what classes in it are.
Wow this is a better Ben Finegold channel than the Ben Finegold channel. These lessons with the kids are gold - mighty fine gold
@20:35 whoooops 😂
thanks for that :)
What????
was going to point that out but figured someone already caught it!
Quite the Freudian slip there
Huh?
"Who is David Lemmer-man?" Priceless.
Little by little, Ben's chess wisdom is seeping into my consciousness, and I'm slowly becoming a better player. Here's what I found useful:
1. Never trade
2. Never play f6/f3
3. Always repeat
4. Don't give checks' for checks sake, figure out what you're gonna do afterwards
5. Don't hurry
Actually you should trade a bad piece for a good piece. If that is not the case, then don't trade
Hey, this is really late, but trading when you're up in material is good as it makes the game less complicated and makes it easier for you to win
@@blooburryz6887 No, it's not late, I was refreshing this page like mad. Yes, trading is good when you're up in material. I think that GM Feingold rarely finds himself in such positions in serious play.
As long as his sense of humor doesn't seep in, you'll be ok
Always play Bf1/Bf8, play Morphy style, knifef5.
And one rule by GM Ken West: never castle.
This is by far the most entertaining and at the same time instructive video i have watched in a long time. Big Thumps up!
“What’s the name of the river?” Dad whispers the answer every time lol The microphone is stronger than the ear!
Ben did pretty good job at keeping A.D.D. kid busy figuring out the puzzles

The Danube or Donau (/ˈdæn.juːb/ DAN-yoob, known by various names in other languages) is Europe's second longest river, after the Volga.
Known as Dunav in Slavic languages.
Known as Dunărea in Romania.
Danubio, in spanish
Donau, weiß doch jeder
If that kid’s dad is present, he should tell his kid to stop interrupting.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH "Is that mate? I think your dad should whisper again."
It's easy to imagine the dad doing this for years and the kid never bothering to think about things.
Man this is so fun to watch it's really cool to see someone be able to teach so well and make it enjoyable learning
i just recently discovered ben finegold and i love these videos. these kids are so fortunate to have such a fun, passionate teacher in their lives.
I’m loving the resurgence of uploads😁
Yes. Big improvement over Ben just beating up on 1500s in a live stream. More please!
Remember.. if you like the videos.. the more you donate, the more videos we put up.. every day!!! 💰💰
You must be new here. Finegold talks shit about everyone and everything. It's a shtick.
Also, I just donated $50 to make up for the $50 you didn't donate. So hah.
Output Coupler the truth hurts!
AND ME but wasn’t everything I learned about Canada from the South Park movie correct!?!?! 🧐
You're adorable, AND ME.
P.S. I just donated another $100 just to piss you off some more.
ibb.co/gz2yfT
AND ME $400 an hour? So.. if it’s Canadian dollars, that’s about $3 usd? Maybe he should get a job at Canadian McDs? Eh?
Great lecture..I love the way this master asks questions to kids.. he puts their brains to work! something useful for their future, never mind if they end up being chess players or not. Kudos Master!
First video I've watched. Love this guy - Great with kids, sarcastic, and straight to the point!
Just wanted to say thanks for the videos, Ben. Really enjoy your content.
A kid that knows all the answers. We will call him Arjun II
I'm a low ranked player and had to subscribe right away. Not because I am learning, although I am, but because GM Finegold is a hoot. Such fun to watch and listen to. What a great personality.
Not only informational but also funny. Good stuff.
I'm missing Arjun :(
Is Arjun a GM yet?
who is arjun?
@@zorquax A "random" student from St Louis
Oh, my goodness. Ben actually succeeded in establishing a chess center in Atlanta.
I'm surprised. Congrats !
Thanks to this kind of teaching, kids (most important) and people in general can play and learn high class chess in a really entertaining way. At the same time he educates the kids in a fun way, like in 6:59. I have no words to describe how much I respect this man for all of this. Thanks Ben
Thank you Grandmaster Finegold. You are Golden. And it reminds me of a saying I heard, "Lose Pieces Drop Off!"
"sometimes your pieces are protected and sometimes theyre not"
why did this make me laugh so much?
"What's the only move that stops white from castling forever?"
"Huuuuh?!"
Benjamin, you are an amazing teacher.
The kids participation crack me up...I love them so much.
Oh boi another video! *rubs hands*
I was itching my back with one of my arms up right when he said "stop raising your hand" and stared straight at the camera... wtf that was actually scary
I am glad i was recommended this video 🤣 had a constant smile on my face 😆😆
I am really impressed how calm he stays with the answears he gets.
27:45 Obscure reference to the Barber of Seville cartoon with Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd.
27:37 Don't do that Ben, don't give me hope
Great video. I have senn few of your lectures and I learned a lot. Tnx very much.
Loving new videos from my homeboy Finegold
I have a theoritical question regarding the video. What's the name of the river?
Dunav. Danube in English
43:20 Loses by force. Huh, the force, like Star Wars? Exactly, use the forks. :'D
Greetings from Budapest!
Great lecture. Go Ben!

"must be a grandmaster"

Such fun: @13:45:
GM Finegold: Black has one legal move. Can you find it?!
Little kid in the audience: There's.... two of them!
GM Finegold: No, there's one. I wouldn't lie to you. (one second pause, points index finger to his chest...) Grandmaster!
-- I loved that coda, take that, kid, I'm a Grandmaster ha ha
let's call it just Duna...this is one of my favorite video! thanks Ben from Hungary
THIS WAS VERY HELPFUL. thanks a lot.
This and Lichess puzzles taught me the answer is always Qa4+
c4 is explosive.
"It's crazy like a fox; not crazy like Fox News." XD Buuuurrrrnnn!!
Some ppl are born to teach. Love the channel
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Ben: "how about not falling into mate?"
Kid: "uhhhhh....."
xD
There is a fan? Yes my greatest fan XD
Keep up the great work. Under 1000 class or not, I'm a rusty 1600 player still getting lots out of this.
I love how he maintains the trolling albeit in sweetly nurturing way for kids.

20:35 is quite the slip up o_O
I’m learning chess for the fiat time and your videos are so helpful
GRANDMASTER IS BACK! :-)

Finegold looks distraught.
I died... Kid, Ben's reaction, "exactly", dead.
Man... I am new to GM Ben Finegold and OMG... this man is funny as hell.
2:12 yes it does. It is called the Desprez opening
and things can have no specific names for certain opening moves that are named
there is no opening that has *never* been played
37:38 *evil laughter*
*evil laughter intensifies*
*evil laughter intensifies even more*
"Tricks are for kids" is actually a good policy in chess lol
old advert = “Trix [cereal] are for kids.”
Michael Massey i know the reference. I grew up in the 90s
finegold vs that kid for the whole class- a battle for the ages.
