Just yesterday I searched "Finegold Dubov" on UA-cam and asked myself how can there be no Dubov in the "Great Players of the Present" series, then the next day this comes out. Please stop going through my search history, Mr. Finegold. Damn, the truth hurts.
Dubov is easily my favorite player to watch, his style is so amazing, chess has become so much opening theory and endgame technique but Dubov just wants KO his opponents in the most brutal fashion possible, such a breath of fresh air
@@kylezo I already had one game against nepo and already had a rapid game beating magnus which I wanted to include and wanted to do mostly classical games. That was the first one off the board - I think daniel king has a good vid on that game the goal was beating nepo in a boring drawish opening beating magnus absolutely obliterating a "regular" gm (2500ish) and out tacticing karjaken with a queen sac which is why I chose those games
@@RichardDynes-n4q maybe not everybody excited to hear praises to the putin's pawn? Maybe chess could be a billion biz under good sport managers but not FIDE of kremlin puppets?
He is not from Soviet Russia. This country didn’t exist anymore when he was born. But I heard people say Dubov has a playing style of Soviet Russia, but Ben is more qualified than me to discuss that
@@Katzenblick I don't think there's one playing style of Soviet Russia, given that it would include Tal and Smyslov, Spassky and Petrosian, Karpov and Kasparov. It's more complex than that - which is a good thing, I think.
@@baoboumusic By no account was Tal from "Soviet Russia." Tal was born in and lived most of this life in Latvia, which was a Soviet Republic at the time and part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), but that is not synonymous with "Russia."

it’s not a coincidence if you search that everyday
Very suspicious
The real question is how he could predict on Oct. 28 what you would be searching for on Oct. 31!
@@Anytus2007 the real question is how did the sponsor predict that weeks ago

Hey thanks Sponsor!
That queen sacrifice is so incredible, this guy has balls of steel
Forgot to include Dubov's immortal vs Nepo from World Blitz 2023, one of the most brilliant games ever played
I think he typically tries to (mostly) show games people wouldn't have seen
4:04 "the sponsor chose the games"
@@kylezo I already had one game against nepo and already had a rapid game beating magnus which I wanted to include and wanted to do mostly classical games. That was the first one off the board - I think daniel king has a good vid on that game
the goal was
beating nepo in a boring drawish opening
beating magnus
absolutely obliterating a "regular" gm (2500ish)
and out tacticing karjaken with a queen sac
which is why I chose those games
I think this is a joke.. wasn't this the game where they only moved their knights in mirror images until agreeing on a draw?
Dubov is immortal, and my personal favorite player.
Thank you for the content, Ben. Best wishes, sir.
Thanks Ben!
I've actually just covered Dubov vs. Svane from Batumi (2019), definitely one of his best :-)
who asked?
I’ve been waiting on this for years
Commenting for the algorithm. These lectures continue to be an excellent resource.
How is this not a million-plus sub channel?
No click bait or all caps titles.
because the truth hurts

One of my favorite players
8:38 Qa5 seems like a strange move.... entirely abandoning the kingside when there's an attack coming.
Thank you.
glad you had the integrity to be on the side of Naroditsky. The guy is a class act and doesn't deserve any bit of the negative attention.
Thank you
Holy moly, Bjerre got disembowelled
21:31 'They were waiting.. Thanks guys...'
Nice one GM!
16:12
Wondering if Nc6 is any good here?
How is it possible to play like this madman 😳🧐🤔😵
Need arjun erigaisi "great players" video . I don't know why it isn't there
just sponsor one then
How much is one ? @@cjh-bk4pn
Now this is talent
Little known fact: Ben is actually double GM, he has dad joke rating of 2850.
in jan speak "it's always marshall, marshall, marshall!"
I like Danil, very creative. Unfortunately he doesn’t get many invites, the whole Russia fiasco has made it worse.
Can I thank Mr. Marshall too?!?
He is not from Soviet Russia. This country didn’t exist anymore when he was born. But I heard people say Dubov has a playing style of Soviet Russia, but Ben is more qualified than me to discuss that
Ben just always refers to Russia as Soviet Russia. I think it's a reference to Yakov Smirnoff
@ interesting and somehow fitting for a guy from the United Colonies ;-)

@baoboumusic I think botvinnik would be best candidate if the style since he was considered father of the school
airthings raspid ??
Frankly, terrible
He's Ben Finegold, and you're not.
Would mr Finegold be classified as overweight?
Very suspicious.
I dont know the exact definition, just curious
Why come?I aint Ben Finegold
@@jimhaney6384 the truth hurts
Whats with Ben's eye?
You'd think Dubov would be more sympathetic towards people that also misspell Daniel
Marshall sponsoring the lecture with all the coins that were thrown at him Terrible!
@10:08 - messed beets
Go Raspid!
When will Ben make a video about me?
I'm a great player of the pressent! (Just not in chess)
🤣
I love dubov
Ben you looked to the left too often during this lecture, you are clearly cheating
@@Me-uv6kc although, of course, this is an observation not an accusation
He plays like Tal
Popcorn time
I came
I saw
I got mated by my opponet
White had good King development ..... HaHaHa! That's funny ;)
I dont like how yo say the names
Did Ben really say ' Soviet Russia'?? That stopped in 1989 and is a bad representation of the country.
Soviet Russia has a lot of history in chess, so in reference to chess as a Ben-ism it's one of those "who cares"
@@AquaticSkipper sounds like an inside joke that nobody gets, then.
You mean like the invasion in Ukraine?
R u really Ben Finegold or an imposter? Cause real Ben is more handsome.
I wanna watch chess content while being sandwiched between Daniil Dubov and Ben Finegold.

I cant beat your chess bot
Danil hurts..
like, comment, etc...
Your microphone settings are off. It keeps cutting you off before you finish your words. Thanks for the lecture.
He's a vegan!
First
Good work
yes, very impressive
Seems more like Tal than Morphy to me, Dubov almost never plays positional chess
