The green highlights were a very nice touch. Like we all take the arrows on chess VODs for granted until someone does something (possibly) original like that. Seeing what moves both players are considering and what their ideas are is incredibly satisfying.

Alternative title: Eric bullies old man in fast chess
@@Alexkrasil losing could be theory too. obviously there's already checkmates and checkmate lines that are studied, but you don't need to win for it to be theory. theory in the sense of understood, familiar positions.
@@Tyler-bp4md no shit sherlock, theory is just a line which has been studied and confirmed to be the best for the exact position, I never said that a theory has to be a win and never suggested that, of course a win is a theory because it has been already played, dont get smart kid. I dont see anything hilarious about his lose and saying his lose is a theory for him is the biggest excuse for a lose, if that losing position was a theory to you all along why didnt you make a new move? Thats why I asked "A lose?", I was completely serious and not trying to be funny.
Man, sometimes I forget how big a difference there can still be between grandmasters. 90 seconds of play and Ben says: "Yeah, that's unfortunate, I hang material every move." The truth hurts.
Grandmaster titles are awarded in classical chess. Eric would also be stronger than Ben in classical, but the difference wouldnt be that big. But fast chess is a different thing and youth helps a lot in fast chess.
Like the two cams at once, it will be cool when UA-cam implements multiple audio channels, then we can choose to listen to just finegold or just Eric or both at the same time
2:05 Ben is (incorrectly) singing the lyrics to 'Overkill' by Men at Work (an Aussie band), but one could argue with references to chess 'ie Knight after Knight...I think about the variations'. Anyway, greetings from Australia!
Ben gets a lot of hate from younger players , but I don’t think they understand Ben’s humor . It’s pretty dry and slapstick but he’s always sarcastic , and they take him serious when he’s just being sarcastic .
Ben singing Colin Hay OVERKILL omggg. I loved this song in Scrubs 😖... Hahha i wonder if he just had the song stuck in his head or used it as a reference to show his thought
"He is underestimating my counter-play.....And rightfully so"
that was gold. FINEGOLD
While down a pawn and an exchange, that was just so smooth.
The fact that this brilliant joke must've been lost on so many
Legit came to the comments to mention this LOL what a line
Yeah thats was my favorite comment Ben made that game hahah 😆
“Why’re you thinking? Am I supposed to resign? Are you mad?” Lol
Is this theory vs Still theory
This is like the funniest comment ever
Ben has never left theory in his life, while Eric is looking at the ceiling trying to remember if 1. e4 e5 2.Nf3 is theory.
There has to be a shirt idea somewhere in there
@@LFSPharaoh I would buy that
With the I’m gonna vs beat your Ben variation
I liked this. I want more synced games
Just not with this type of terrible audio. One person per headphone side is so uncomfortable to listen too.
@@waterturtle2919 How did I not notice first half, read this comment and the second half of the video was ruined for me lmao
Oh wow. My right ear is bad so I thought finegold was just quiet
Turns out you get copystriked by hikaru when he does this so probably not anymore lol
@@waterturtle2919 no it isnt split audio they are synced both headphones, test it by taking one headphone out and hearing both voices in one ear
Good thing Eric's rating is like 5 milion
billion*
What a handsome man, and Eric is not too bad himself.
The truth hurts

@@michaeld519 yeah i know im just kidding
@@michaeld519 he talks a lot of shit for someone in Eric's adoption distance
@@saudude6622 dam he won one game greatest of all time
Then he sings "he knows all the variations"
1:10
Ben: "oh my opponent plays really fast"
Eric: "sure"
Omg xDD
Yup!
When it syncs ahah
'I'll just keep hanging stuff to confuse him'.
Rarely works. I've tried it.
The Jammu Kashmir gambit
1:50 "I'll just keep hanging stuff to confuse him"
pure gold 😂
Oh, I mean, Finegold!
Lmfao i missed that at first im dying
I always love synched games. And the green highlights when Ben was calculating was just great editing.

Their ratings are similar, so that was exactly what happened.
@@thememaster7 no, Eric is much higher rated.
@@semb12 Yes, Ben's 51, otherwise it wouldn't be bullying.
xD
Digging the synced feeds, and Ben seems like the chess version of the wholesome uncle who lets you sneak a beer at a family picnic.
But only if it’s vegan beer
Great editing with the arrows
Tru he's very suspicious
wholesome uncle unless you have a relevant twitch chess channel lol. Dude despises everyone
@@TheGreenFire41 source?
ben is hilarious lmao. this is all still theory to him.
A lose?
@@Alexkrasil edgy

Haha goldy
Someone needs to watch the video again and check.
@@varden3270 I checked. I think not
@@ripefardsac Wait which one was that? I forgot already.
"He is already cheating"
Yeah i know that feeling...so many cheaters...they always take my hanging queen...just report them
"He is underestimating my counter play..
And rightly so!"
*rightfully
@@rykehuss3435 cool
In all of life there's a rhythm
Are you high?
except komugi
@@CodeRed0 too bad her rhythm could never be found
True that
"My opponent is playing fast. This is not fair." Old man GM Finegold
"Did I win? I forgot" bro Ben is just something else 😂
PLEASE do some collabs with ben!! you guys are hilarious together!
it's incredible how grandmasters get to the same conclusion at the same time
I think that’s generally true of players of equal skill level. Two equally rated people usually see when it’s game over at the same time.
We are waiting for the one when Ben plays F3
0:28
Eric: I got the bishops!
Ben: I got the bishops!
...
Ben: Wait?!
* Did i win? , i forgot. *
Loved that part
You can hear Ben's respect for Eric in this video
Eric sounds like he’s delivering the birth of a child. “Push, push, PUSH!”
"I don't know why he's thinking, why are you thinking? Am i supposed to resign? Are you mad?"

Eric is some 150 fide ahead of Ben on classical. It's funny because he sells himself as a "blitz specialist" and OTB is stronger on classical
@@yuristremel Ben is a trillion years older than eric you realise
@@FlourescentPotato The truth hurts!
@@FlourescentPotato OK, but Eric's peak is 66 points higher than Ben's peak rating as well.
66 points is quite a lot at that level
When Eric said "push the pawns", I expected him to follow with "PUSH EM BABY" like a Pavlovs dog

"am i suppose to resign?" loool ben is too funny
"My bishops are saying "Hi." LMAO
You can tell Eric is just fucking enjoying himself here.
2:29 Why am I not resigning? There's gotta be a good reason. I loved this duel battle
Man I love Ben lol. It was a massacre though.
Wow, the man who makes me question my heterosexuality on a daily basis.... AND GM Eric Hansen!
is the joke too popular 🥴
@@dhruvyadav7715 I am a high level genius
0:53 that was super cool how you edited that in!
We need more dual perspective videos like this!
Ben gets a lot of hate from younger players , but I don’t think they understand Ben’s humor .
It’s pretty dry and slapstick but he’s always sarcastic , and they take him serious when he’s just being sarcastic .
Finegold is so damn funny, always loved him 😂❤️
"I'll just keep hanging stuff until I confuse him"
I loved this type of video. Subbed because you guys always crush it 😀
Dude, love both voices going. So good
Ben: "did i win?"
I forgot!😂
Ben's so sweet why you gotta bully him like that😂
More of these please!
That dual commentary or even snip bits of the other side is SO golden, didn't even miss the music Pogu # ads for the boys
Favorite video of 2021 so far
wow, I've actually never seen Ben get taken apart so quickly. that's cool
Ben is so fucking funny.
Not.
you know the opponent is strong when Ben don't talk too much
My opponent plays really fast for a Canadian, ay 😂
Both wholesome players
"Did I win? I forgot". That one got me
love the double audio setup
One person does not appreciate great chess nor Ben's amazing sarcasm
absolutely love watching toxic players get destroyed
Yay, go Eric! But stay there...
2:19 Overkill - cover by Ben Finegold
"1:58 He is underestimating all my counter play, ... and rightfully so." :DD
I read that as GM Eric Rosen and almost had a heart attack lol
I love watching both of these guys
He took everything raaaaaarrrr
Great game and commentary from both ends.
Nice vid, i liked a lot the format
Full match with these 2 please, dual commentary
Love how Ben is brutal on himself as well. Hahahaa
Don’t call me friend, buddy
I'm not your buddy, guy
yo ben's green highlighting is some sick editing you should do that with other games
Erics Smile in that game...
Ben Finegold is too funny. “did I win? I forgot.”...
Can there be a odds match of 5 minutes or less Hansen vs 10 minute Fingold
The 5 billion rating stuff😂😂
the crossover i wanted to see
Ben: Never resign
"Did I win? Fuc---" Such a good cut lol
It's "did I win? I forgot"
Ben : Singing .
Eric : Push!
Ben : Still singing.
Oh YES!!!! That was a pleasure to witness!!!!
this format is sick
Ben singing Colin Hay OVERKILL omggg. I loved this song in Scrubs 😖... Hahha i wonder if he just had the song stuck in his head or used it as a reference to show his thought
Ben singing Men at Work/Colin Hayes is great
The voices being on the right and left is not the move
Nice editing editor
Ben was very considerate
Song name?? At the end
He didn't resign move 5 you better report him for cheating.
Ben singing Overkill , classy...
I like it when he says "push"
Still theory...
These are the most underrated comments I've ever seen in my life 😂
Haha love the synced trash talk
This is cool. Would love to see it for any other streamers too, I'm sure the Hikaru ones are great
"push, push" son vs daddy
Ben hitting resign button is still theory.
More with you and Ben would be great 😁
you and ben should do a collab - battle of the subs maybe? The commentary would be epic if you got yasser/ Aman / levy involved :D
anybody know what the outro song is called?
It's called Chessbrah
Ben : Don' t play f3
Eric: Is this theory?
