    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!

    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.

    • @sallylauper8222

      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.

    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.
