Ben Finegold, im italian, i dont know where you live but one day ill come to knock your house to shake your hand. watched all of your videos and jesus youre fantastic.
Actually at 19:57 move Nh3+ is the force win. You can't take knight with pawn because of pin from Queen on g5. 3 moves for white: 1) Q:h3 Q:c1# 2) Kh1 Q:c1+, Qd1 Q:d1# 3) Kf1 Q:c1+, Ke2 Qd1+, Ke3 Qd2+, Ke4 Qd4#
+Max Zorin 3) 1... Kf1 2. Qxc1+ Ke2 3. Ng1# is faster. Also, Ne2+ is a forced mate too, it's just longer. 1... Ne2+ 2. Qxe2 Qxc1+ 3. Qf1 Rd1 4. g4 (4. g3 Rxf1+ 5. Kg2 Qd1 6. Kh3 Rxf2 7. Kh4 g5+ 8. Kxg5 Rf5+ 9. Kh4 Qh5#) 4...Rxf1+ 5. Kg2 Qd1! 6. Kg3 Rg1+ 7. Kf4 g5+ 8. Kxg5 Qxg4+ 9. Kf6 Qg5# There are other tries for white in this Ne2+ line but they all lead to mate sooner.

Made my day.
+LexFloyd Terrible.
Thanks for uploading so much Ben Finegold lately
+PerfectSwagHD It's like Christmas came around Christmas
+PerfectSwagHD Did I hear correctly or is Ben leaving St. Louis? If so it's a major bummer.
finegold cccsa
I love the kids class. I actually find it more enjoyable than the older classes, especially when Ben is the teacher!
I'm sure you like it more than the older classes ;)
I have to say I absolutely love whenever he says: "Booooo" and "Hurray" somehow it makes me happy
yaaay :D
That smile from GM Finegold at the end... You can see the passion he has for Chess/Teaching/Comedy, in one expression.
"Charlotte is in your favorite state."
Me: "Solid?"
Yeah It's Ben!

Ben you're awesome, you mentioned leaving this class I hope you're still part of this TH-cam channel
"So lets pretend this is the middle of the board, because... that´s the middle of the board..." #FeelTheGold
Thank you. I love these videos
Happy New Year, Ben & the chess club crew!
I love finegold videos :)
Ben
Arjen is such a fun audience member.
Finegold is great.
Actually at 19:57 move Nh3+ is the force win.
You can't take knight with pawn because of pin from Queen on g5.
3 moves for white:
1) Q:h3 Q:c1#
2) Kh1 Q:c1+, Qd1 Q:d1#
3) Kf1 Q:c1+, Ke2 Qd1+, Ke3 Qd2+, Ke4 Qd4#
+Max Zorin As Ben said at 20:12.
In fact, its hard to find the move which is not the force win in such position.
+Max Zorin 3) 1... Kf1 2. Qxc1+ Ke2 3. Ng1# is faster. Also, Ne2+ is a forced mate too, it's just longer. 1... Ne2+ 2. Qxe2 Qxc1+ 3. Qf1 Rd1 4. g4 (4. g3 Rxf1+ 5. Kg2 Qd1 6. Kh3 Rxf2 7. Kh4 g5+ 8. Kxg5 Rf5+ 9. Kh4 Qh5#) 4...Rxf1+ 5. Kg2 Qd1! 6. Kg3 Rg1+ 7. Kf4 g5+ 8. Kxg5 Qxg4+ 9. Kf6 Qg5#
There are other tries for white in this Ne2+ line but they all lead to mate sooner.
+フィッシャー00769 Oh yeah, Ng1# is kind of beautiful, actually. :)
lesson learned: don't mess with GM Finegold. he will be eating your pieces for breakfast.
...and then they will turn into chopsticks inside his stomach!
...oh, wait xD
19:30 crazy mike kummer joke haha
Best laugh out-loud shtick with camera asides! Needs rimshot and whistle effects.
That little cheer at 6:39 was hilarious, I'm surprised Ben didn't react to it more
If only Charlotte posted videos of Ben..
Sometimes it is more important for the audience to be up on the jokes than the chess :)
"Chasepark Plaza"...is that the local strip club? Free night? Finegold knows his knight moves..
dudes a legend, is that a spoon, a knife, chopsticks bwahaha!
He didnt made the bob seager joke even though the class was about knights...Very suspicious 😂😂
does anyone know how to turn off the clock ticking sound in fritz 13 ?
+Luca Brasi No. In fact, we all hear it in our nightmares.
+Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis haha I managed to swith it off someho on my old computer but after i reinstalled it i cant stop it...
...So I did what you said. 'Cause I predicted you would say that a year ago......
23 min. horrible
terrible
is Yasser going to play in the tournament?
for the last gasme, what happens with Kf1? Qxg2 is check but shouldn't be mate.
It's forced mate in 2:
1. Kf1 Qxg2+
2. Ke1 Qg1++
Took me a long time putting this position to a computer to proof
it says "plus a trillion!" Incorrect! But thank you anyway!
21:50 I often play against people that make it apparent when thy blunder, it makes the games a lot easier.
Thumbs up
Are you sure that isn't Henny Youngman teaching that chess class?!
according to me on 20:35 The fastest way to checkmate ur opponent was to just play Na6±, after queen takes, take the rook and its a mate
Sorry its not 20:35 Its 20:05. a typo error
9:57 Ben missed tactic, very suspicious
Ben:how many legal moves does white have?
Kid:A million
Ben: Trashes South Carolina
Also, Ben: Lived in Detroit. Eventually moved to Atlanta. 🤣
22:19 illuminoty confirmed
HAHAHAH!
One person plays f3
Go Bears
21:05 white could play Qe4
Tejas Bhaskar Checkmate in 2 after rxd1 qe1 rxe1
Just 23 minutes? TERRIBLE!
There's always that one super annoying kid in these lectures.
