Benjamin Finegold vs Petr Haba, Bohemians (1990): D10 Queen's Gambit Declined Slav defence
Benjamin Finegold vs Vladimir Borisovich Tukmakov, Reykjavik op (1990): A80 Dutch, 2.Bg5 variation
Benjamin Finegold vs Gert-Jan de Boer, Hoogovens-B (1992): D86 Gruenfeld, exchange, Simagin's lesser variation
Ben's European days were so wild that I heard he even played f6
Terrible!
Rawr
The truth hurts
6:28
Ben: ...as in the game Fischer - Bisguier. What was Bisguier's fatal mistake?
Ken West: Showing up.
Man, Ken might not be learning from the chess but he's sure as hell learning from the savageness.
His videos as fine as gold to me
+Paweł Kacprzak Get out
Terrible
horrible
I just noticed something ironic, the last name of the lecturer is Finegold.
@@michaelmay3982 you're genius.
I love this dude
Ben Finegold is amazing, he can do anthing.. he can even beat usian bolt in chess.
Ben Truly understood what pedagogy is all about
"K, he should go on wheel of fortune and buy a vowel" 😂😂
Mondays are better with Ben.
:)
I watch these lectures by Finegold in one sit.
I think Ben Finegold helped program Stockfish 7, i was just reviewing my last game and the computer said the best move for black was Nh8
:D
I got strangely hyped when it became known that Ben knows who Arthur Rubinstein is.
Yeah, me too.
Cool video. Thanks!!
More vids with Ben please.
the komodo dragon joke is really good!
Ben is awesome really
Gorgeous game, that last one. :)
32:35 "last but least" Gold. Finegold. Lol
I'm pretty sure Belgium doesn't exist.
Yeah i think it's some sort of museum
In europe this joke just wouldnt work cuze knowing what belgium is is just default
It's a biscuit
It's a type of waffle.
Thanks Ben your making me crack up and its only been 6 minutes.
NH3 smells. NH4 only exists in liquids and does not smell that bad.
Amazing
He is fine gold !
Will Grandmaster Finegold for sure be doing live, on-site commentary again at this year's Sinquefield Cup?
Could you tell me please the name of the song on the preview
Hey Ben! It's great as always! Could you do more Chigorin defense games? The complexity fascinates me!
Did Ben Finegold get in a bar fight or something?
Diabetes.
6:11
The truth hurts.
@@xDMrGarrison The tooth hurts
@@schach420 How do you know?
If you can make Ben Finegold laugh, you`re pretty funny
Really liking the title Mr. Simon, sounds like you could have put a Ben hot tub story in here...
But really, thank you for all your hard work doing these videos for us.
I had a game ending exactly like the one at 31:30, in a 10/0 match... pretty sure my opponent was floored after Rf8. (*Can't remember if the rook was on the f-file but the rest of the pieces on the queenside were in the exact same position.)
Awesome games and an Austin Powers reference: great video!
3 weeks without a new yasser video!! :(
42:58 "The King runs around de Boer" :D
Finegold for President
19:40 rofl
Thimbs up for Austin Powers joke =D
are there any adult only classes... were can I get expert lessons?
I don't know about adult-only, but lectures for 2000+ is a valid petition.
That woz fu@K'n hilarious! Do chess players really have this much fun?!!
umm yeah
ok ben simon😆☺
29:30 hahahahahaha 😂😂😂
what syllable did he want to add 4:55
chickenshit.
At 19:46 after black plays Kf6, couldn't white play Qh6 mate?
black's knight on e4 is defending the pawn.
What is the intro song?
+Burnthesof Awesome? Seriously, I read in some other Ben video that somebody composed it especially for the Ben Finegold videos. Just look up all of Ben's videos and maybe you'll find it. If not I bet you still had a good time. ;)
Aww would love to download the song ;c
I also want to download it and listen the full song! If you have any clue on how to do it, please tell me!
We need to get the attention of our lord and grandmaster Finegold.
Yes, althoug he cracks too many jokes sometimes, but he is one of my all time IDOLS, including Santa Claus and Buda. Please Ben, I myself here as an inferor life form beg you to give us a link where we can download or simply listen to the full version of this song. It can become popular and would attract more and more people to your videos, and that would provide you more fine gold. Please Ben, listen to our humble demand!
15:33
yeah for Prag before I was born
11:40 Re5!
6:22 ffs Ben😂
Did Ben lost his lower tooth?
What was the chicken variation of the Caro Kann joke? I kinda missed that one
LOL. The chicken variation is where you trade a bunch of stuff and play boring according to Ben so its the chicken variation.
ah thanks tal, so what did he mean by add a couple of syllables?
+Banana Hunter Pro Chickenshit.
Theres free, theres not free, thats not free
Poor Ken
Is no one gonna talk about how the intro beat slaps hard af?
you win. cant wait for the jokes
my god Ben you used to be a terrific player. I always wondered how you got to be a GM, these games explain it. Fantastic moves. Forget what the computer says. Computer moves are for computers. You were winning from the opening until the very end against Haba. It's like you said. If there is one single move for black and a dozen moves for white, that means white has an overwhelming advantage. The computer might say "equal" but that's obviously wrong. That's the whole point of chess! We play moves that make sense. We have plans. We create small advantages and turn them into larger advantages. Computers, they can calculate 20 moves deep and watching their games is like watching an episode of "Ancient Aliens." Humans just can't understand computer games. Yes we can put "ideas" behind computer moves, but in the end . . . it's a strange alien intelligence the computers have. so yeah you were definitely destroying Haba. The computer isn't wrong necessarily it's just playing a different game than humans play.
Three incredibly strong games from a fantastic young IM about to get his norms . . . except it did take you a while for some reason.
You hate the Dutch but are confused when people don't know what de Boer means. Very suspicious. Great lecture though.
+TuhTuhTool That's history 101 though
+TuhTuhTool pretty sure he threw in an austin powers reference in there
"its not knight f5, its....."
--- Unicorn f5?
you took more than one train to prague Ben? But i guess not at the same time?
27:05 Isn't Qxd8+ excellent for white? Instead of Ne2. Kx loses a knight, Nx is impossible, Rx Nxc7+
+zyffe 14. ... Rcx8 15. Nxc7+ Kd7. It's true that black's pawn structure isn't the prettiest, but he is up a pawn and it's now white who's slightly behind in development. Computer gives -1.2.
+zyffe this comment made me get scid and stockfish because i was curious so thank you. I agree with you and i have no idea... but theres some computer line that follows booting the night back after Nc7+ Kd7 Nb5 Nd6 then 0-0-0 e6 the computer puts black better. If you're curious it then says Ne2 a6 Nd4 Bg7 and so on with the eval around -0.9 -1.1 This engine stuff is fun I feel like robocop
Ben I am going to have to sue you for ruining my grades over the last couple of weeks.
Excellent videos from the entire team by the way. #Chessclubofstl
23:10 best jokes in the video 😂
Delete this video if Spencer ever wants to run for President of the United States.
HOUDINI IS BEST CHESS ENGINE
first game looks like a draw. I guess if there is a time issue it may be a different story. 21:21 But Kg6 you get the knight after rook takes rook. White then takes H7 pawn with check and then A7 pawn. White knight captures on C3. and it is 4 pawns vs 4 pawns, and a rook vs knight. That should be a draw, right? Or is rook vs knight only a draw if there are no pawns?
So 5 years ago komodo was better than stockfish?
two bishops vs two knights endgame plz☺😊👍👍👍
I think Ben did lecture on Chigorin defense, where you usually get two knights vs two bishops for white. You might be interested in looking into that
this guy says Jean Claude Van Dam
What happened to his teeth?
Did you figure it out?

"If there's a fly I don't kill it cause I'm a vegetarian." - GM Ben Finegold
loloololol
At 14:19 I think he farted 😂
14:19 somebody farted?
first
YEs, I agree. JCVD a good movie, maybe the only one good by Van Damme
19:33 can't white play Rxe4 here? The point being ...fxe4 Rg3+ Kh8 Rg7
Looks really good for white to me.
Ben should play Carlsen for the World Champion. Please make it happen.
It didnt give a value of the game just sayed you are terrible lol
