    the kids in this class make it really good. Q (Ben): How did he avoid losing his queen? A: he blundered checkmate. lol

    Paul Morphy is one of my greatest inspirations, sad that the sales assistant in Macy's shoes section couldn't understand that.

    “Paul Morphy is the greatest chess player to ever live! He was head and shoulders above the competition in a way that Kasparov, Magnus, and Fisher never were” I say, waving a gun in the airport, wearing only denim daisy dukes and foaming at the mouth.

    I miss when chess was fun like this, now its just people copying engine moves and its hard to attack. These games are a lot more fun than just making ok moves until the player who tries to find a mate loses on time

    Ben, you acted like 7...Qf6 in the second game was a logical move. In fact it was a blunder. 7...Nf6 attacking the White Queen was necessary. After 8 Qxf4, Black should play 8...Bd6 again developing a piece while attacking the White Queen. Your young students need to learn that bringing the Queen out early allows the opponent to develop pieces while attacking it. After 8...Bd6 Black is up a piece for which White has little compensation. Still, thanks for more of your excellent analyses of Morphy games.

      @@Nippleless_Cage No, I like Trump and I'm not afraid to say it. But that's besides the point. I wouldn't be much happier if he made fun of Biden. I'm confronted with politics absolutely everywhere it seems these days. I was hoping someone of Ben's standing and life experience would be wise enough to keep it out of chess content. If he wants to be political that's fine but maybe a dedicated video would be better.
