I had both Ben and his dad as lecturers when I went to chess camp as a youngin' back in 1999. Ron was a great teacher too and I still remember him showing us his game with Fischer (and then driving my mom nuts saying my new word, "zugzwang," the whole drive home). Ben also gave me about 100 raffle tickets for getting a Simpsons quote exactly right.
Inside Bad Joke Alert: Legendary Ben Finegold Stalker Hu Yu has been arrested trying to steal one of Ben's Sicilian pizzas. When asked who stole his pizza, Ben replied "YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU."
Yeah, you are better than the GMs, you could easily have become world champion, but you were busy with other things, like inventing the GPS, becoming U.S. president and winning the Nobel peace prize...
For us normal players Kf7 seems obvious. However, it goes against many GM principles like blocking the advanced pawn. Its one of those rare instances where ignorance is good.

LOL @ Bring back Aviv. Aviv was great though, loved his lectures.
Why are “class dismissed” his favorite words if he gets paid by the hour?
because Gene Wilder said so
I wonder how many people actually get the "Put it in H" reference.
mcpartridgeboy It's a random line from an old Simpsons episode involving a used car. It's funny.
