YESSS never clicked a finegold video so quick. Thanks for taking our suggestions and doing some 3 and 5 minute games. I think i speak for most of us when i say that it can be a bit harder to learn from watching 1 min bullet chess.
Ben, I think people would donate more if you added a “suggest an opening for next video” option where if someone donates, they suggest an opening and you play it in your next video. You could also announce every new donator’s name every video and that might give more incentive for people to donate. You could also do for example, I someone donates $100, they can choose the time control for your next video. I know this makes it more of a purchase rather than a donation, but I believe this is a fun way to interact with your audience and make some money while you’re at it!
@@koalastew9193 1.) Don't understand what you mean by time limit to comments, but nor does anyone else. I never said anything about there being a time limit... 2.) Literally explained that it is more of a "purchase" in the original comment. You're gonna need more than just a dictionary to understand all of what I just said....
Five minute + analysis is my favorite live chess format yet. Also really enjoy your lectures and analyses of great players' games. Thanks GM Finegold for this bounty of great content.
This is great! Love this type of video - with your thought process to accompany everything. Awesome. Thanks!! And Lichess is the best. Also agree I enjoy watching your 3 and 5 minute games more so I can follow along better
2 bits a gander? That reminds me of back when nickels used to have pictures of bees on 'em. You'd say, "Give me 5 bees for a quarter!" Now where was I....oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt...which was the style at the time.
if you get $20,000 in donations in the next 3 days will you play a 4 hour game vs another grandmaster who is rated at least 200 points higher than you FIDE?
I really enjoyed you playing 5 min games . The main reason for me is because you can keep pace with what you are saying you are doing and it doesn't feel rushed.
Also I think 3 minute is the perfect balance. I wouldnt mind something like 15+2 or 15+15 just so we can really hear you think out loud, much to learn!
The onlyreason the longer time controls are better are so that you have time to teach us something while playing. You can still play all your moves in 1 minute, but with the longer time you have an extra 2/4 minutes to make a good video out of your play.
Moar moar rawr rawr! The longer the time control, the larger the donations!! Please, nothing shorter than 3, preferably 10 or 15 even!! But 5 is a good happy medium.
Dear GM Ben Finegold, I have a chess clock that ticks really quite loudly on one side, but is quiet as a butterly on the other -- Which side should I give to my opponents? Kisses
The black background is better for the viewer, white is too bright. Also you should comsider doing tournaments in lichess, either 30 min bullet or 1 hour blitz
35:00 knight g4 was an idea to try the mate ? You didn’t even calculate it .i say that because I basically just saw every single video on your UA-cam Channel and I remember the Greek gift 😇 Love your advice ! Continue !!
Great stuff. Seeing the time and your mouse is definitely an improvement. If you want, you may deactivate the option that people can challenge you (it's probably unsettling you as well as the viewers). Edit: Wow, you did anticipate my comment. So go, figure it out yourself.
BEN LISTEN UP!!! It bothers me so much that you keep wondering what that question mark means. It MEANS you haven't played enough of that variant to get a decisive rating :) You just have to play a few more games and the question mark will disappear showing closer to your ACTUAL rating being that it would be over many more games.
Enjoy all the time controls. you could do what your son does and release a wide variety of content. Playing in some of the arenas would be excellent too.
Love your videos and lectures. Donated after last video. Honestly I would have donated before, because you're a great teacher, but I didn't realise you had a way to donate! Can you play some more 1 min bullet too in the future, in the hopes you will cry ? Much appreciated!
The daily walks must be working for you Ben, you look much smaller in this video
Your talking about unrelated things while your clock ticks down, increases my anxiety level to over 9000.
"I'll play Rd5 and then we'll both resign." I love you.
25:55 definetly keep the "rawwwrr!!" :) its fun xD
It's only not fun when he's down a piece. But even then, "rawwwrr!!"
It can get old after a thousand times.
@@BelleRiverHeating I feel like I'm watching a twitch streamer haha
great video again! definitely prefer 3 and 5 minutes over bullet
i agree!
Definitely
same
indeed
I learn a lot from his 5 minutes games

Can we see some blitz games between you and Spencer?!
45 minutes of Finegold playing!! Yayyyy I love these!!!
You forgot about the tax.

Kind of like Patreon. Very good suggestion indeed.
if you want something for your money it is not a donation, get your head out of the gutter and put it in the trash where it belongs
@@koalastew9193 the irony. You had two years to read and reread the comment and you still messed your response up. Read my comment again.
@@BennyPir10 didnt realise there was a time limit to comments
you are using the word donate as a different definition, get a dictionary

Lichess has a setting to stop the challenges
Go to your profile name at the top -> preferences -> privacy
Great personality. Gonna enjoy binge watching all of your chess games and stuff. Your quick dry jokes humor me.
I like the five minute videos because I like to hear the thoughts about the options you consider before making moves. Rawrrr.
The Blues Brothers reference made me smile :D
Huge fan Grandmaster. Maybe some guide about how to play openings vs each elo players to punish their terrible suspicious playstyles.
This is great! Love this type of video - with your thought process to accompany everything. Awesome. Thanks!! And Lichess is the best. Also agree I enjoy watching your 3 and 5 minute games more so I can follow along better
Ben, would you try playing in one of the hourly bullet arenas on lichess?
...unless your first name is Grandmaster. Then it's double failure with exclam!
...or just a single failure with double exclam?!
- I confused myself again! You see? That's why I'm just 900 minus a lot of taxes.
big on the simpsons eh mr finegold? it was the fashion at the time
Oh that would be awesome!
That was Jake Blues from the Blues Brothers. obviously, frankly, etc. Mostly ETC.
2 bits a gander? That reminds me of back when nickels used to have pictures of bees on 'em. You'd say, "Give me 5 bees for a quarter!" Now where was I....oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion tied to my belt...which was the style at the time.
This format is the most instructive for me.
"You guys like these videos. There's no accounting for taste."
It's so nice when you lovingly insult us. :)
"Hey there, it's Grandmaster Ben Finegold ... I think" 🤣🤣 you kill me
Love the videos thank you for the knowledge and great content!! would love to see some 15 min games in the future . 👌🏼🔥
if you get $20,000 in donations in the next 3 days will you play a 4 hour game vs another grandmaster who is rated at least 200 points higher than you FIDE?
Soooo much better with your picture on the bottom left. Great games and comments btw
any move where your opponent thinks 20 seconds could be a ben finegold chatting with the youtubez
I really enjoyed you playing 5 min games . The main reason for me is because you can keep pace with what you are saying you are doing and it doesn't feel rushed.
Look at Ben learning to play blitz.😄 Ben is currently much better at blitz, and Rawr! Go Ben!!!
34:20 that's some advanced psychology right there. Love you Ben!
"Okay, he takes. Rook takes is the weirdest move, I guess I should play that" this is just golden
oh ,and the moves noise wasn't too loud as you said in the description ,it was just fine
"..this guy's name is 'Syngas'.. what's it backwards?" You gotta love how Ben's mind works! :)
Also I think 3 minute is the perfect balance. I wouldnt mind something like 15+2 or 15+15 just so we can really hear you think out loud, much to learn!
awesome video! :D watching you play is pretty interesting :) keep up the great work!
i watch Spencer's videos too and i have to say, the dark background is easier on the eyes.. but its ok either way
“Maybe I have to play solid in 5 minute”
*Lets threaten queen f7 Mate
maybe he won’t see it*
Loving these! as some others have mentioned. You could participate in the hourly bullets or hourly blitz tournaments at lichess!
The onlyreason the longer time controls are better are so that you have time to teach us something while playing. You can still play all your moves in 1 minute, but with the longer time you have an extra 2/4 minutes to make a good video out of your play.
Moar moar rawr rawr! The longer the time control, the larger the donations!! Please, nothing shorter than 3, preferably 10 or 15 even!! But 5 is a good happy medium.
“He’s overconfident, a brilliant strategy by me”
Your quote.... Toasted white bread. Four fried chickens and a coke.
what you believe is a thinking opponent behind the screen is a chatting ben
This is a much better place for your picture. Thanks.
In the first game, you forced your opponent to mate you in one. That's funny.
5mins and 3 mins are the best format for me, it's tough to follow Bens Brilliancy in lower time controls
Dear GM Ben Finegold,
I have a chess clock that ticks really quite loudly on one side, but is quiet as a butterly on the other -- Which side should I give to my opponents?
Kisses
Super instructive, great and awesome. Only problem is I should be completing my studies and instead I suffer from a chess addiction.
the light background was great
"castles doesn't really attacking" very well said ben, I couldn't agree more.
kidding, great vid!
I think 5 minutes is perfect. And the rawr is great
"I'm the world's worst person. Not only in chess, I just mean in general." hahaha
Loving the longer time controls!
you are fucking hilarious lmao. your on-the-spot jokes are amazing
The black background is better for the viewer, white is too bright. Also you should comsider doing tournaments in lichess, either 30 min bullet or 1 hour blitz
You crack me up, dude. Nice vid.
That Sicilian With d5 was awesome!!
I think the "?" at the end of your rating means it is a provisional rating.
Anyone over 2100 lichess would be horrified seeing this video that he is a GM.
3 minute is probably best
Ben you can set whatever settings you'd like to play... 1/4+10 between 1000-1400 for example
audio is WAYY BETTER on this vid
Keep ‘em coming... soon your channel will grow and you won’t have to ask for donations
25:50 Legendary technique. Simon Williams would be proud! lol
3 min is the best. Love your videos.
Sometimes I too wonder if lichess is just a Turing test website full of engines pretending to be people.
While I enjoy this, I think a variety as far as blitz/game reviews is the best way to go!
great blitz videos thx for posting
I like this guy personality!!!
Definitely blitz over bullet. I'd like to see increment games though.
35:00 knight g4 was an idea to try the mate ? You didn’t even calculate it .i say that because I basically just saw every single video on your UA-cam Channel and I remember the Greek gift 😇
Love your advice ! Continue !!
I love how you automatically read names backwards 😂😂

Four years late but the movie is blues Brothers lol
Im going to miss your videos on saint Louis club. Will you do a video on the London?
John Belushi to Carrie Fisher, Blues Brothers
I think 3 minute is my favorite. 1 minute is my second favorite. But 5 is pretty fun.
Best comedian chess player of all time
5 minute with analysis exclam!
BEN LISTEN UP!!! It bothers me so much that you keep wondering what that question mark means. It MEANS you haven't played enough of that variant to get a decisive rating :) You just have to play a few more games and the question mark will disappear showing closer to your ACTUAL rating being that it would be over many more games.
"lemonjuice87 plus tax"
No, it was Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday.
Great videos, keep it up! Thanks!
You should play with the people that donate the most!
So you'll always wins. Even when you so miserable lose, like the first game. lol
This is for the first time I have seen a grandmaster lose while playing online for demo.
true, I only watch your classes.
I'm pretty sure that is a reference to blues brother
on your 4th move why is it not wise to move queen to a4 check and gain blacks bishop on b4?
I liked the analyisis part of the video :D
1:53 pretty sure he challenged you again hoping for a quick resign ;)
we love "rawrrr"
ben play the first game like a morphy opponent, moving the pawn in front of his king and not developung at all
Hi Ben, Lichess's analysis engine works best on google chrome.
"Premoving all these illegal moves..." XD
At 3:50, why didn't he checked with queen a4 and then take the bishop b4 just after?
What happens when both players resign at the same time?
Enjoy all the time controls. you could do what your son does and release a wide variety of content. Playing in some of the arenas would be excellent too.
nice video keep doing it man
keep saying RAWRRRRRR ... it's great
Can you play the bongcloud?? (1. e4 2.Ke2)
Alan Stilman I see you are a man of culture aswell.. Ke2 gettin ready for the endgame huh?
Time controls increasing every video... I like the variation :)
Please do a video on Paul Keres :)
I prefer bullet :/
But i know i'm a minority.
Also i was the one who mistake Val Kilmer for the other guy :D
Mesie Lepush Yes, you are in the minority. At least you're self aware
Bullet is way more entertaining to watch IMO.
hunterxg that's what chessbrahs is for buddy. go get your fix elsewhere
Yeah... I know, but i can´t stand the trance soundtrack. :&
Love your videos and lectures. Donated after last video. Honestly I would have donated before, because you're a great teacher, but I didn't realise you had a way to donate! Can you play some more 1 min bullet too in the future, in the hopes you will cry ? Much appreciated!
