Who is Ben Finegold? To the blind, he is the light. To the hungry, he is the bread. To the sick, he is the cure. To the lonely, he is the company. To the sad, he is the joy. To the prisoner, he is the freedom. To the poor, he is the treasure. For me, he is everything.

To the opponent he is a mater etc.
The truth hurts
To the window, he is the wall. To the sweat, he is the balls
Mainly ect @@michaelemerson1949
One joke is that Ben knows how to pronounce German words (he played in the Bundesliga for many years), but he declines to do it for comedy.

Ben is my favorite fitness instructor. Chess is just a side quest. For both of us.
Calling zugzwang "Wing Chun" is probably my favorite Finegold-ism. Kills me every time.
ALWAYS sack the exchange (except if your Levon at the olympiad)
love these lectures
Ben is one of the most like-able people on Earth
You should do a lecture on Ludek Pachman! He has a really fascinating live story and I'd love to learn more about his chess
Most enjoyable !
Reshevsky was actually born in 1909. His parents lied about his age to make his juvenile exploits more impressive. So he wasn't quite as big a child prodigy as they made out, but his geriatric exploits were two years more impressive.
The Reshevsky-Fischer match didn't end in a tie. Fischer forfeited Games 12 and 13 before the match officially ended. Most of Fischer's forfeits have been edited out of history, except Game 2 against Spassky, which is impossible to ignore. Fischer also forfeited games to Gipslis and Larsen at Sousse, which people have tried their best not to remember. (Fischer wasn't leading when he finally exited Sousse either, maybe a video on Fischer myths is in order.)
You seem to be confusing Reshevsky's age with the year he passed away. He lived until 1992 not 1982.
Hi Ben! Just wanted to know how much sponsoring a lecture usually costs. Thank you.
Won't you do a class about Henrique Mecking?
i want that t-shirt!
What does (I assume) Karen say at 33:39 about Sophie's choice?
Checks are for patzers except when they are not.
How much would ot cost to sponsor a lecture?
One thing I've never understood about Reshevsky is that he won two matches against *reigning* US Champions (Fischer and Bisguier), but didn't win the title on either occasion. By rights, it seems like Reshevsky should be a 10 time US Champion, but for some reason he's not.
Because those games were not matches for the US Championship. They were just two guys agreeing to play a chess match, one of whom happened to be the US Champion at the time.
How expensive is it to sponsor a lecture?
999 in a legal random currency
$250 if they're still doing new ones, at least that used to be how much it was
Frankly ridiculous,
except for one thing.
100 k sub's and no bread
49:18 Or GM.
Does Ben secretly speak French? I'm certain I heard him say 'et c'est la meme chose'
He lived in Belgium for a few years, and French is one of the official languages of Belgium. I don't know if he speaks French, but he's certainly been exposed to the langauge.
How much does it actually cost to sponsor a lecture?
He would have had a better chance of winning the WCC if he wasn't a smoker.
Everybody smoked in those days. Arguably, he'd have less chance as a non-smoker, as he'd probably be annoyed by his opponents smoking.
@@beeble2003 non-smokers have better oxygenated brains.
Lol "I'm a GM"
He's vaccinated. Of course ... Good luck, man!
correct to say is nobody in USA could pronounce his name which says only about Americans inability or ignorance, or perhaps the both.
Sorry, but most people in the world -- not just Americans -- don't speak Polish and have no clue how to pronounce Polish names and words. Yes, that is technically ignorance, but it's ignorance shared by almost every non-Polish person on the planet.
This video is 49 minutes long and you spent the 1st 14 minutes on biography on wikipedia.... This is information anybody can get..... Please focus on the games and try to find games that are not so extremely well known.... These are simple requests that makes sense
You must be lost
lol, coming to his channel , leeching content for free and complaining
Typically he follows guidelines set by the sponsor.
You've watched one of GM Finegold's videos before? Also, explain where in the wiki article it mentions Ben knowing the subject in question, or anything about the personal stories he tells etc? Oh wait... This is the format we all love. History of the subject matter followed by Ben's choice of games, unless the sponsor requests something more specific. Whether the games are famous or obscure is irrelevant. We watch for his analysis of the game, his presentation, jokes and personality. Get back to me when you've finished your humble pie.
watch you don't kick yourself in the ass on the way out the door
