the hardest I've laughed was when he was explaining that it's usually more fun and interesting to look at games of players who are slightly worse than super GMs. But then he goes, "Not like Wednesday nights bad. Because I cry a lot on Wednesday nights... That's my crying night."
There was one where there were only two legal moves, the person from the audience suggested one of them and he said "you're almost right" :D that one should be included!
You didn't have the one where he said that he had to stop playing chess, because he can't move any of his pieces, ' cos he's got so many "never play" rules. Terrible.
I don't remember the video, but my favourite is when he fired: - "Wow, my ex-wife lost to Shahade in 16 moves?" - "Yeah" - "No wonder I divorced her! Terrible!"
First I hated him but then I got his dry humor and I can't get enough of his golden lectures because of his deeply knowledge of checkers (am I right?) and his great sense of humor. Nevertheless guys the title almost kills me, It was very suspicious and misleading like Qh9...terrible...you scared the shit out of me. Now that I’ve seen that Ben is ok I would say that thank you for the great video, and I'd like to salute to Mr. Finegold bc your videos are pure gold Sr. You are not the rotating GM, you are the man for the job so keep going with such a great job of teaching young and old minds how to not suck...for me is little to late but at least you are doing something nice with this Arjun kid and for the rest of us that appreciate your time, jokes, knowledge and hard work, well done. Greetings.
Very suspicious. -------------- Had to slap my own forehead because I finally got the "C4 is explosive" joke. Terrible. (Now I have to rewatch a lot of videos because I had thought he was talking about (dynamic) pawn moves in general)
I almost died when he made the joke (now part of his classic repertoire) that the player he was narrating about had made a smart move because they were now ready for the next game (i.e. by "undeveloping" most or all their pieces).
GM Ben FInegold: "Is anybody a Richard Nixon fan in here?"
Five year old: "He resigned!?"
GM : "Yeah."
omg I almost choked myself
I like it when he calls absolutely losing moves "risky".
Only a little risky. Checkmate gives white a small advantage.
Or when the answer is mate but they suggest taking a pawn or something. “Mate is slightly better”
E4 d5
And bc4 is slightly risky
"very suspicious"
I wish I could do that
There's only one legal move
Resign 1:42
- kid in class
Two dislikes - Mike Kummer made same mistake twice.
terrible
ken west! incorrect
Ben is such a legend! I always put one of his chess videos while I'm about to sleep. He has probably lulled me to sleep more than my mom.
LOL. Ben is some fine gold.
Lmfao I'm about to fall asleep and I just put this this on
@@lileeper same here
Suspicious
Same. Sleep like a Gran Master
the hardest I've laughed was when he was explaining that it's usually more fun and interesting to look at games of players who are slightly worse than super GMs. But then he goes, "Not like Wednesday nights bad. Because I cry a lot on Wednesday nights... That's my crying night."
LOL
checkmate with advantage.....
Ahh Qd8 checkmate gives white a small advantage.
Lol
😂 can he do it after two beers? It's that two many?
A compilation of Ben's jokes?
This TH-cam video is pure [Fine] gold.
I would agree. And he is a super GM too. Super funny that is.
Fine gold already means that it's pure.
- White is threatening mate, how do you stop it?
- Resign.
Classic :-D
The truth hurts
There was one where there were only two legal moves, the person from the audience suggested one of them and he said "you're almost right" :D that one should be included!
I like his comment to the kids: "you guys aren't grandmasters, you cannot jump over pieces yet!" Hahaha
LOL only GM's can make illegal moves.
You didn't have the one where he said that he had to stop playing chess, because he can't move any of his pieces, ' cos he's got so many "never play" rules. Terrible.
That Rook, like me, is...? OVERLOADED :D ahahahahaha I was waiting for that a looong time now :D
missing '"I am not a rook" - Richard Nixon"' Ben Finegold
Theres an under 600 tournament? Noooo im 601 i cant play
Terrible :( Good thing I am 599
Thats definately a moment you missed :P
A 599 is like a grandmaster on anti-chess? :P
I don't remember the video, but my favourite is when he fired:
- "Wow, my ex-wife lost to Shahade in 16 moves?"
- "Yeah"
- "No wonder I divorced her! Terrible!"
Ill find it and add it to the next video I am making. Should be uploaded in late January sometime.
th-cam.com/video/k6j3bf_a7vk/w-d-xo.html this video 3:33 is this joke
imo his best take

I didn't even know he was sick
Reminds me of that tragedy
143 LIKES AND 0 DISLIKES!!! Thanks everyone. A least my audience is not as bad as the OneO'clockClass™!!!
What school did some of these jokes go to: old school
"Kris Kross is worse than Hitler" - Ben Feingold, off-camera
didnt get that joke
@@sunritroykarmakar4406 the joke only makes sense if you know Joe
@@pasqualesimonelli1513 mama who?
Ben: Whats better than losing and being gracious? Kid: DYING!
1. e4 DOUBLE EXCLAM
There's one where he's absolutely roasting the kids and I've been trying to find it for years now
GM Ben Finegold is hilarious, but when I saw the title of this video I thought he had died which was not so funny!
:( Never die.
I agree, that was my first thought too. I absolutely love BF
when i saw the title, *i* died.
Terrible.
always repeat.
‘Overloaded’ 😂
This man is a LEGEND and a treasure! Great vid bro!lol
its 2024, I was scared when I saw the thumbnail, thinking he was no more. That is my TH-cam Chess coach.
1 of the best Chess teachers.
"Overloaded"
You didn't heard that.
loved it!!
Thanks!
the charisma of this guy is so entertaining
I am laughing to tears for the overloaded joke
Stand-up comedian Finegold at his best! Great stuff!!
Been watching a lot of Finegold. Now whenever I win a piece I can't help myself from thinking, yay Ben
We need a Ben Finegold bashing Ken West compilation.
hahaha... Always make the same mistake twice hahahhahahahhahah... omg.. I watched all finegold videos but i think I missed this bit... sooo funny
Finegold!!
My favourite is when in a kid's class the kids wouldn't stop talking, so he said "No having fun allowed! This is chess!"
I love how he has no filter
Well my all time favorite is :
-Ben : you....
-Someone before even opens his mouth!
-Ben : Incorrect!!!!
Very suspicious.
--------------
Had to slap my own forehead because I finally got the "C4 is explosive" joke. Terrible.
(Now I have to rewatch a lot of videos because I had thought he was talking about (dynamic) pawn moves in general)
LOL
I always thought so aswell and just got it lol
What does it mean ?
@@RishabhSharma10225 a c4 is a bomb that's why c4 is explosive
Play fortnite u will find c4
If Family Guy was real, Ben Finegold would definitely cast as Peter
Seriously different Peter, but yes, absolutely.
Bam!
Suspicious.
Nice detail with the cutscene of young frankenstein
RIP Gene Wilder
The same mistake twice is a Seirawan expression!
5:15 did that story make any dollars or just sense, didn't know he was a dj quik fan
dollars or cents...
RIP Ben
This is the kind of video you want to watch EVERYDAY
I almost died when he made the joke (now part of his classic repertoire) that the player he was narrating about had made a smart move because they were now ready for the next game (i.e. by "undeveloping" most or all their pieces).
What a legend!
terrible
Frankly ridiculous.
1:20 was savage
What is the Rossolimo lecture at 2:21?
ben "2 beers is too many" finegold
Were's "All about the Benjamins."?
SO GOOD!
Awesome as usual
You missed an amazing moment from a morphy lecture when Ben says" Black plays bishop f8 completing undevelopment" great video nevertheless.
10:18
Been looking for that one for a while.
Not Ben Finegold asking a room full of small children "Is there a Richard Nixon fan here?"
Ben Finegold is a regional treasure
"There's only one legal move, who can find it?"
"Resigns!"
That kid is going places. Not college, but places.
Yes!
Ridiculous
FINEGOLD IS THE BEST!!!
I love comedy and chess.. this is the perfect guy to watch!
9:04 I'm crying.
the best thing is, always make the same mistake twice is a part of always repeat.
Man, the truth hurts.
hope he played chess, he would make a great chess player!
Ben finegold fans of the world unite!!
That's why he's the best educator ever.
1:17 lmao, taking it like a champ.
What a legend :D Soo good
Good job Greg!
Thanks so much!
damn 1 o'clock class! lol, thanks to Ben for all the awesome videos!!!
OneO'clockClass™
Awesome!
2:40 : He is wrong. Both Guinesses are the same Guiness
there were like 3 other videos of Ben. What happened to them?
Yay GM Ben! I never get tired of listening to him!
very suspicious. what was said at 2:19?
"I'm gonna say a6"
"On the next move my opponent didn't allow me to checkmate but he lost. Do u know how? "
Class in confusion
"He resigned"
One legal move "resign" lol
at 9:58 😂
Ben Simon did not take that as a challenge
Wow, I would love to meet GM Ken West
there's good and there's not good. Ben's good
Exactly!
RIP Ben Finegold [`]
Good news: it's the next year and now he seems to be alive again.
"Always make the same mistake twice" is a Yasser rule, not a Finegold rule, so the kid got confused. Understandable!
Hes got michael scott esque references
LoL! This guy's humor is like deadpool. But much better!! "Im... Gm..... Sierawaaaan" haha!
He is the best! :)
anyone know the video with part of him sticking his hand out in silence, and has a sour face on? like he's being sarcastic about something
Yeh! xD
My browser does not recognize format...terrible
Amazing
Does anyone no the video where ben does the Donkey Kong joke?
If anyone does know let me know. :) I am making a new Ben video but its taking longer than expected.
Is this dude already dead I just played against him like a week ago
A hoot ....go Ben !
"Always make the same mistake twice" )
GM BF "do you know what to move" random person "idk" GM BF: "that's correct you don't know"
