@3:35 The knight fork would fork the King and Queen... and according to the 3 PM class, also the rook!

[@benaronson2410]

If Kamsky is white, why does it say Pragg vs Kamsky onscreen rather than Kamsky vs Pragg? Confusing

[@GMBenjaminFinegold]

it's my bad, I didn't double check when adding the names in. Kamsky should be listed first! - Ben's Editor

[@zainquadri1206]

Ben Finegold is my favourite not only because I like his lectures but also because he can pronounce Indian names which very few people can do... They just say 'R' Pragg... Lots of love to Ben... ❤

[@DreamyJives]

Five minutes with Ben? Immediately Like without watching the full video

[@Bianstus]

He has two names you can't pronounce, one for each of ya!

[@geggs3731]

Nice! Hey, got any Gata Kamsky stories from before we were born?

[@Vaii]

great video!

[@Mrspeedwell]

Nice one, makes chess look easy.

[@ThatsRaf]

Wait, I'm confused. How many minutes was it again? And who is this guy talking?

[@scowell]

Some confusion... normally a game is given with the names white vs black... or the names can be placed next to the board sides appropriately... neither of which happened here. Still loved it.

What do we mean by building a bridge in a king and rook ending.

[@douglaslarosa8782]

Kamsky lost with white in 20 moves?? Oohh, na, pragg-na-na! 🎶

[@danjeory3659]

After Qh4, can't white play Bd1 instead of Bd4? Bd4 just throws the game away...

[@Roberto-bd9fq]

At 5:23 White could try Bd1. Still looks bad but stops an immediate mate.

[@PiquantPan]

brilliant that you were able to see a 15-minute timestamp in 5 Minutes With Ben

[@Roberto-bd9fq]

@@PiquantPan 5:23 at the end I will edit that, but do you understand the move, and why it stops mate? That is instead of Bd4 which loses to Qh3 plays White plays Bd1 which prevents it.

[@AdmatHakodesh]

Nice defence. Black is still completely winning, of course, but still, good job.

[@PiquantPan]

@@Roberto-bd9fq “do you understand the move?” the one that still loses the game? yes

[@askthepizzaguy]

Praggnanandhaa is going to be world champion some day soon, if I were to wager on it.

[@King.Mark.]

[@SanyaJuutilainen]

Kamsky game, so Pragg probably cheated.
