[@JimmyLundberg]

nothing better than Ben talking Tarrasch for an hour

[@Pfefferhaubitze]

Helmut Pfleger is also a doctor and a Grandmaster. Well known in Germany for his comments together with Vlastimil Hort at "Schach der Großmeister" in German TV ("Chess of Grandmasters").

[@Bianstus]

He invented Tarrasch-talking!

That Kramnik vs Kramnik joke made me laugh why harder than it should have

[@Tophbbq]

45:41 I yelled "Short Timman!" at my computer monitor and then Ben said "They're all yelling it at home." It's like he understands me.

[@FlameIsLucky]

I feel that

Bassem Amin is a medical doctor and is currently Nbr. 41 in the world with 2694.

[@arnislapsa1619]

didn't watch yet but I would like to encourage someone to prolong Ben's wikipedia page

[@andreikarakozov2531]

What a great lecture! Love it!

[@Deucely]

Ah yes the famous series, great players of the Perrier, very suspicious.

[@NelsonBoy2734]

GO BEN! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!!!

[@ocudagledam]

Isn't Amin Bassem also a grandmaster and a medical doctor?!

[@12jswilson]

Pretty sure he is and he's good. Over 2600 iirc

[@luigi777aa]

Ostrava exists and does well. It is in Czech Republic near Slovakia and Poland.

[@beeble2003]

I think he means that, in 1923, Ostrava was in a country that no longer exists -- specifically, Czechoslovakia.

[@watchingyou1147]

Dr.Helmut Pfleger. German Grandmaster and also a doctor!!!!!Now 80 years old

[@jorghofmeister5225]

What about Helmut Pfleger?

[@artofsteve470]

My thoughts exactly! Probably his Wikipedia Article is too short.

[@rainerausdemspring3584]

A famous example of a king walking up the board in the endgame is Capablanca - Tartakower.

[@King.Mark.]

it was a short walk

[@marcelzierke9093]

in 1890 Tarrasch was Number one in the world,.. Point.!

[@euclideszoto997]

Vidmar was a player that Botvinnik admired. Not for his chess but for his scientific mind.

[@12jswilson]

I was yelling "Short-Timman" at my screen

[@mariusstockburger4576]

Hey Ben can you make a Video with Klaus Junge?

[@SrinivashM29]

Ben, is the Nimzo-Indian Defense named after Mr. Indian or Mr. Defense?

[@beeble2003]

That's _Grandmaster_ Defense, to you!

[@perrymiller9533]

I like your new shave, and haircut!

[@tomwaters8409]

Nimzowitch not in his prime in 1914

[@thinboxdictator6720]

It was not great year for a lot of people

[@muff2n]

16:51 hilarious

[@marcelzierke9093]

As an amateur.!

[@atanasbatakliev7666]

Ostrava very much still exist...c'mon Ben..!!

[@beeble2003]

I think he means that, in 1923, it was in a country that no longer exists (specifically, Czechoslovakia).

[@not2tired]

Here for the Doctored comments

[@MrDoggyz0r]

1st in 2023!

[@user-so6iq4kz6k]

sorry MR finegold but Zukertort also was a doctor

[@germanchris4440]

71 is like 104 now? For sure not. People have no idea how extensively they have been lied to, and that's a fact.

[@liamlynch-bell802]

Are you schizophrenic?

[@stephenh9483]

I love Finegold
