Damn, Benji knows everybody. One thing I like about Finegold is that he isn't overly involved with chess, he jokes about tunes from times gone by and teaches chess in a way only a GM could but brings details and draws games!
Wow. This name is not in memory now. I switched to bridge almost 3 decades ago. The only Wolff that comes to mind is Bobby Wolff. I think I remember Patrick but only because of this video. There is a Patrick in poker, the movies, and even Star Trek. However, Wolff gets tied to Bobby and bridge. I've gotten old.
Though never actually allowed to play bridge, I did learn the game at an early age. Starting a game of chess is simpler than starting a game of Bridge you see.
When I was living in Paris, I met a girl who told me she knew a good chess player. As usual, I expected nothing much. I asked her his name, she said "Kamran." That's how I got to know him pretty well. Can you do a video about Shirazi?
I looove the thumbnail. Why? Because it includes a picture when the player of the past is young, so I don't think of him only as an old boomer but also as a young man. Keep doing that in the future.
Ben was busy at the World Open and not streaming. We’re also trying to merge the CCSCATL channel and this one together, so I usually work on that when there isn’t new content to edit. - Ben’s Editor
That game with Kasparov must be something he keep showing at board meetings. Imagine if he kept playing chess, he could be competing right now to get a small slice of GothamChess and Hikaru audience and make a few dollars per video. He messed up, going to work with Warren Buffet and Peter Thiel, what a waste of talent.
Love Old-School chess stories; machines have no soul! Thx Ben!!
Why does ben make half hour long introductions? He gets paid by the hour.
terrible!
its part of the show
The truth hurts
Your either going to like this lecture a lot or your going to hate this lecture a lot- Ben Finegold
Plot twist, professor wolf is the sponsor of this lecture 😂
Congrats on passing 100k subscribers! Looking forward to seeing thec Silver Play award on your stream.
Holy crap, I watch a lot of Professor Wolff's content on YT! Love the guy ❤️
Does he got a UA-cam channel?
@@cooloutac I wasn't talking about Patrick, but his father, the professor Richard Wolff
@@nimzomitch lmao.
I had to watch this after seeing Patrick win his game in Wolff style yesterday in the US Senior. As an old-timer, I remember him well!

When Ben got to the game, it was awesome.
I thought I was going to hate this lecture, but I stayed till the end and loved this lecture!

How much donation one has to make in order to sponsor a lecture?

No way, I've read some Stuart Rachels. Didn't know he was a chess champ

OMG you went to Oakham in England? Thats 10 minutes down the road from me - come back and teach again!
Wow I didn’t know you used to live in Ann Arbor! I grew up in Toledo! Hopefully you aren’t a Wolverines fan lol
Let’s
Go
GM Ben places Oakham in the N of England, he would never have made the tournament without the Wolf shepherding him!

38:44 Tal says hi
I liked the video
Where's the scandal in playing 12 moves drawing game with Gary Kasparov?
Who's Afraid of Patrick Wolff?
Kasparov was not... wrongly
WhAt was that name rant at the start about 😩😂
What's with the reposts Ben? It's great content, but not sure why you are reposting several videos recently

@@GMBenjaminFinegold Oh okay. Thanks for the response. Long-time fan of the channel
Damnit Ben, why do you keep shaving your beard off?
Frankly
I heart gpotp ❤

thats a pretty long story
I love Ben but geez these intros can be long
I enjoy the history/background. The nice thing is you can always skip it
It's super entertaining. Did it never occur to you to skip content that you personally don't enjoy?
That's when we get the good stuff. Lots of people can analyze the chess games, but a lot of the stories only Ben can tell (or will tell)
history is valuable too, especially when the engine exists for the analysis side
I like these intros. These are the types of stories that other players don't have.
**first**
i believe you
