Ben's lecture preambles are top-notch. The fuller the beard, the fuller the preamble.

[@cmblumenroder7286]

Yeah, you are so right, indeed: former times of chess, before the chess computers were developed, were so much more exciting than today!!! That's what younger people probably cannot imagine!

"Now, Kavalek, unlike the players today - who are total wusses"
I guess someone, somewhere, on the internet, has made a list of all your quotes, both jokes and general chess rules, I can't believe I'll be the pioneer, Google will tell.

1:30 chess players are the alpha for sure

[@vineyardchess2136]

The games of Kavalek remind me of those of GM Tiger Hillarp Persson who would often sacrifice his queen in similar fashion..most of the times due to positional trouble😂

[@bryndonpeacock4093]

instead of perpetual in game 3 what if rd4+ winning the bishop? Then keep your king on dark squares to avoid forks with the queen

[@exitar1]
