    The Star Trek joke is funny, and true. Any time in Star Trek where an Enterprise team would beam down to a planet and you saw Kirk, Spock and a guy with a red shirt, you knew the guy with the red shirt wasn't coming back... Happened every time!

    Just some interesting engine facts: Around the time he says the engine says black is all right, latest Stockfish recognizes white has the better position even a piece down (about +0.8 pawns). Now, after a3, the engine goes to -1.7 pawns if only the human opponent could practice what should happen in theory. Always interesting when a losing position results in a win. .
    The engine confidently leaves the king lined up and claims about a 1.8 pawn advantage for black. It mobilizes its queen with Qh4 instead. After Kd6, the engine starts thinking the position is +6.3. However, that is with an only move d4, which Shirov found.

    As someone with social anxiety, I always imagine how on your toes you'd have to be at an in-person Finegold class.
    But actually, it's genius. Keeping the kids on their toes, ensuring they're paying attention to both the chess, and the infamous Finegold quips, it keeps them razor sharp.
    Or at least that's my theory anyway, I could talking baloney

    There should be a Ben Finegold Memorial Award for the best classes on chess for kids. Ben can win it for the next 20 or 30 years or as long as he continues, and then the trustees will have to decide if anyone can equal him.
    I've played the Fried Liver with Black. I seem to remember that Black can end up with 3 pawns for a Knight somehow. That Knight on b4 has to go, maybe. I can't remember. Twenty years ago I allowed this guy to play it against me, and after we worked through the opening madness and we were equal,, he was grudgingly appreciative.

    When he says "it has to be this position and it has to be this move order" I can't help thinking you can transpose to the fried liver in a few reasonable ways and thousands of absurd ones and it's still the fried liver.
    In fact if you transpose from the double bongcloud to the fried liver it's still the fried liver because who cares about castling privileges. Probably not black.
