I never knew Ben had a father
i thought Ben was here before time itself
Ben: "Ben, I am your father"
Ben: "Nooooo, it's impossible!"
No... Ben *IS* the Father.
Yeas, his farther even had a friend who was a burger. Damn, life in America is wonderful.
It happened before he was born
I like how Ben casually throws one of the saddest things said at the end of the video. Spend time with your parents people.
Ben's Midwestern accent really comes out when he says the phrase "my dad". Frankly, adorable.
"Ben and his Dad were like that, Son!"
Sun Tzu, probably.
you a real nigga for doing this. thanks ben
fr fr no cap fam 💯💯💯
Yall killing me 😂
Damn the Church's chicken story is really interesting, I love how Finegold's lectures are always filled with stories like these
Edit: the ending gave me the feels man
Ben is the best
frankly thankful.
Thankly, frankful
Thankfully Frank
That ending though
The truth really do hurt sometimes
It really do be like that sometimes.
I always liked Ron. Super nice, no matter who won our game (I probably played him 5 times). He was always willing to analyze our games, even though he was always higher rated than me.
Way to underhandedly sneak in there that you beat him
You must be the father of Grandmaster Ken West!
@@NJ-wb1cz Literally went out of his way to keep it ambiguous who won, lost, or drew
@@etymonlegomenon931 exactly! Some people just love to stir up shit. Ben was actually my coach 20 yrs ago.
I was wondering if we were going to see a game between Mr Finegold and Ben, and I wasn't disappointed!
Real emotion at the end though, I'm sure that he was proud. Please pass our love and admiration on to Mrs Finegold too 💙
Horray! Sorry I wasn't able to make it to the stream. Thanks for uploading, Ben.
Thank you to Mr and Mrs Finegold for giving us the one and only Chad GM Ben Finegold.
Seriously though your lectures on openings and great players of the past are the best on UA-cam It helps a lot of chess fans from all over the world.
It’s called Church’s Chicken because you have to pray to God that you don’t poop your pants after eating it. True story.
It probably was really good when the original guy was in charge. Same for KFC.
This is a beautiful lecture, he'd be so proud. Made me want to show my dad more appreciation
My dad taught me chess too. Not to this standard, of course, but I remember getting my first chess board and pieces one Christmas. Then the following year he bought me a chess engine machine, so I had a "strong" opponent to play against (as long as it didn't crash when you were entering a move, which was frustrating on higher settings as it took hours per move). Good times. My dad passed away over 20 years ago now, and I still miss him every day Ben. That's just proof to me you are a nice person. Keep on doing you, my dude.
Wish your dad peace in rest and a Long Happy life for yourself Sir
that ending from Ben is the first time I've seen him saying something really heartfelt.
you know, i can’t shake the feeling that the guy Ben is lecturing on here might be his dad
I was a student of Ron’s in Flint, MI back when he had a chess store there…good times. Learned a lot
Your father Ron Finegold seems like quite the inspiration, his peak reminds me of how chess was unique in the 1960s, the only time NM Bernard Parham (a local notable figure) won a state championship.
Go Josh yates
But stay there
I am the greatest
@@jashyotes In your chair!
The last few family stories reminded me of my grandfather who passed away when I was 13, he taught me how to play and what I wouldn’t give to play one more game with him.
Thank you, Ben. Beautiful lecture.
Ben is right about AC. It was a luxury option in some cars in the early 60s, but most of them didn't have it.
The internets tells me that air conditioning was first put into cars in the early 40s. In the 60s (not sure when in the 60s), about 20% of cars had air conditioning, but 80% of cars in the southwest had air-conditioning. The first time air-conditioning was not an extra charge, but was standard, was in a certain model in 1968.
That was fun! Thanks!
Excellent tribute. Good video
I appreciate you Ben. Thanks for what you do.
Nice episode! Thank u Ben.
go ron!
I used to live in Odessa with my ex, who was my fiancee at the time, and I remember seeing a lot of Church's chicken places. She and I sometimes went there after we both got home from work. Very cool story about its Chess connection!
For a moment, i was wondering why would this chiken place be so popular in ukraine...
@@Nekromageofapocalyp haha sorry yeah Odessa Texas. I used to always just say "we live near Midland" since people know that name better
Damn it was really sad at the end. Thanks for the lecture Ben!
Ayyy another lecture!
The one I've been waiting for!!
Rawr! Go Ben's dad!
This is a real reminder that our time with our parents isn't infinite. My dad doesn't play chess, though, so Ben is extremely fortunate to have shared that with his own father.
Very interesting lecture !!
lovely lecture Ben a wonderful tribute to your father!
Go Finegolds! Thanks Ben.
San Antonio Texas is still hot! My dad taught me to play chess when I was eight, after Bobby Fischer became world champion. I won the Texas Futurity tournament in 1979. I was 13 years old. I miss my dad too! He died when I was 22.
Great story!
Favourite lecture - great stories, great dad, and a great son, he must have been very proud of you. My dad and I have played competitive golf and football (soccer) together, so I can relate.
I currently live in Canada. My whole family is in Europe. I miss my family.
Thanks Ben
There are a lot of places where A/C still isn't really needed. I used to live in New England, and mostly survived on a diet of box fans and window units not turned on until July. We think of it as normal, but it's really energy-hungry. Don't turn it on if you don't need it, folks!
Very nice video
I missed these videos.
Awesome 👍
Eye love Ben Finegold!!!
May he rest in peace, your videos are awesome man never stop
I wish I had spent time and played some games with Ron on a regular basis. Time flies, you get busy. Regrets.
Who are you?
@@aniketdhumal2692 Who are you?
Yeah, A/C was mostly an option except in the deep south where it was fairly common. Up north, say Ohio/Pennsylvania definitely not standard equipment.
Go Finegolds!
Yes
this family deserves a "succession-promotion" series...
Nice lecture, you’re the BenjaMAN
Marshall Rohland was USCF president from 1966-1969.
BTW, congrats Ben on doing a lecture on your father. Good son.
this video, is not only about " great chess player ", it's about GM son pay respect to his father!!! at the end of day FAMILY LOVE, RESPECT IS EVERYTHING!!!
BIG LIKE FROM ME
Interesting facts: this GW church is actually GW church Jr, his father started church's chicken and passed away in 1956. Bill, or GW Jr, started operations around 1962. So it's possible this is one of if not his first public efforts to advertise his business after his father passed.
There was no interstate highway system in 1962, so it'd have been 2-lane roads, with tractors and slow trucks... :)
We'll never know which of those is Ben's dad because the pointer was disabled. God Damnnn.
I miss my dad too.
No, they did not have AC in those days... And, if you did install them as an add-on, they'd cause the engine to overheat... on hot days. :)
Someone please sponsor Judit Polgar such a beast
hello great dad of the past who also happens to be a great chess player of the past aka your father
38:22 And don’t call me Shirley.
❤
Only Ben could find a way to lecture about AC during a chess game.
The 1940 Packard was the first car with factory-installed air conditioning.
Hey I'm from toledo!

By 1960 about 20% of all cars in the U.S. had air-conditioning, with the percentage increasing to 80% in the warm areas of the Southwest.
Are you the kid playing Master Ron Finegold in the thumbnail?
Ben, have you ever played or heard of Rex Wilcox?
_"By 1969, more than half of all new cars sold were equipped with A/C"_
The more you know. I swear in the 90s we drove without any A/C 100% though.
My first car (1988 Micra) had 2 by 100 model air conditioning: 2 windows down, drive 100 km/hr
@@sasquatch2 LOL
Mr. Church didn't have a prayer
As we all knew ( °~°) Ben had a father before he was born
It's tough for old people to play a 6 hours long game but for a 10 years old kid? I would think it is impossible. Unbelievable.
His name is hard to pronounce, so he must be good!!
It says on wikipedia that the guy that founded Church's Chicken, George W. Church Sr., died in 1956. So he came back from the grave 8 years later to play one last chess tournament in 1964? lol
Wikipedia is prolly full of bullshit
His son was also named GW church and called Bill. I believe that solves this and ben’s thought early in the lecture
Can I take up your offer to have you sponsor me, in order for me to sponsor you?
If you turn the W on its head, you get GM Church. So close
Minute 25...
My car doesn't have air conditioning in 2022.
Which is good as prolonged AC exposure gives me bronchitis.
Thanks for your videos!
Woo spent that the 26 years in the D
W
Awww
Name isn't similar enough to Ben Finegold. Should've been named Ken Finegold.
How do you get your protein?
Since Ben told me to go vegan i have no other choice but to retreat
poor bloke called Wes Burger
Burgar.
i don't think i've ever cringed harder at a sequence of moves
Nb8, b6, a5, f5 -- bruh black was literally trying to lose, there's no other way.
and his children's children
What, that's your dad
@34:15 "This is like if I played Jeffrey Xiong today. This is what would happen." C'mon, Ben. Xiong isn't that bad.
Ben likes to get paid
