    Such a fantastic resource. There's nothing like this on the net, and I thank you all very much for putting it all up! I hope you guys keep it this way for years, the potential for learning is great. I can't thank you enough, such quality lectures, and such world-class teachers!!!
    PD: It took me a while to "get" GM Finegold's humor. But after looking at so many lectures, the guy just cracks me up. He has a million one-liners, and "GM Ken West" always gets me.

    9:05: I hate it when there is a vote and everybody gets it wrong, including the teacher - in this case Ben. Terrible. ;) I checked with stockfish because it felt odd to me, and indeed Nxe6 is stronger and gives white almost +2. Rxe6 is probably winning too, but only around +1. Also important to note, after Rxe6, c5 was a big blunder (skyrockets white's adventage to over +5). Black should have played Ne4 instead: Getting the knight to the strong outpost and threatening/getting the valuable f4 pawn in exchange for c6.
