- Grandmaster Ben Finegold shows three games by strong players where dangerous mating attacks occurred in the middlegame. Can you find the way to break through?

"But in this variation, we're going to checkmate our opponent, because I was informed that's how you win the game."
Usualy when you checkmate your opponent you are in a pretty good position XD
39:30 " At this point black didn't actually resign, the arbiter said 'Ok, that's enough' '"
This line had me crying
Javier Capello so funny
Great
i came back from the fridge at the *exact* moment he said "okay, you're back from the fridge."
Yup. He got me too. Had to think for a second: "Wait am i watching a stream?"
Scary...
@@AZ-er3kc Cx
Yes! How does he do that??
he woke me up just before that line when i was almost going to sleep :D ahashahahaj
I was gonna ask if Ben ever actually caught anyone going to to the fridge, but that answers my question ^^
"Black can resign because he's almost ready for the next game" lol
*Grabs pen and quickly scribbles "whoever checkmates their opponent..."*
wait, slow down, whats "checkmate?
@@adamhedley8924 I think that's when you resign the game
The correct response here is what is a resign
I was about to fall asleep to Finegold but he decides to wake me up.
Me too lol
Lol... dim certain went to the fridge too
I went to the fridge when he said that : , (
lmao for real i was about to sleep too 😂😂😂
Wait.... I came back from getting milk, dude looks at me and goes... OK ur back from the fridge....
Now THAT is a grand master!
Don´t lie, we all know it was a beer
@@oOgabryOo Nothing beats drunk watching Ben Finegold lectures LOL
@@ahmednuru2732 I can think of a few things.
@@DarkSideChess like Eric Rosen and Levy Rozman playing in the IM not a GM rn
Not much other than that
GM Ken West FINALLY makes an appearance. I would love to see him host his own series for this channel.
Was just watching "idintifiying and controlling key squares" and thought to myself 'i would really love to see that guy' cause he"s been mentioned alot ;) and finally there he his..
He’s not qualified
@@colinmurphy2214 yeah, he only has a fide of 2800...
finegold is so sarcastic its hilarious
And then black super resigned because he is a super grandmaster. He resigns differently than you do.
This line is just gold.

a gold line from finegold
Fine gold
I was wondering why my life felt so empty and meaningless for the past couple months and I realized, no Ben Finegold.
frankly ridiculous
You must be living the dream now
Ken West looks a lot different from what I imagined...you should show him more often, we love that guy!!!
man...this guy has seriously got a great sense of humour
That was so strange! I was dozing off at the 20 min mark when he started saying "one guy is at home asleep, yeah you, wake up" and I literally jumped out of my sleep and was so confused. It felt like he was actually talking to me.
believe it or not this is the video that got me into chess, 3 years ago. Now im an 1800 and improving every day!
I was falling asleep just when Ben said to wake up. Scary scary times 😂😂
Not only is he funny, but he makes me want to study chess. What magic is this!?
Cant say im familiar with many, but youre definitely my favorite grandmaster. The light comedy you employ keeps everything engaging, and you keep it up even in a slow crowd, really good stuff! Keep it up my guy!
you know it's going to be a good Ben Finegold lecture when it has this kind of energy off the bat
This all went right over my head. Very insightful
Is Ben a grandmaster in chess or humor? Or maybe both?
+Parampal Singh Clearly both.
Truth hurts!
Fries!
hes uses a computer to find his jokes though
@@pward17 nah he would throw the bitch out if it disagreed with him
He told the latent potential story in one of his recent streams. 7 years later and it's still in his repertoire
"Rook E1 looks good but like Anna Kurnikova, never wins" - take a bow Ben, you legend!
38:50 "Black could've resigned because he's almost ready for the next game"
Best joke Ben Finegold has told
I like how he says moves are "suspicious" as in I suspect the player sucks.
Loves his sense of humor but also learned a lot. Subscribed!
Thanks for waking me up, I needed that.
Here in 2022! These videos are keeping me alive at work for the moment! More plz!
i learn absolutely nothing from these videop , but i cant stop watching them.... his dry humor is hilarious 😂
omfg Pulp Fiction and Netflix and chill jokes. Ben is amazing
Easily the most entertaining video i've ever seen :D
I love this guy. He is so down to earth and chill. Im going to watch all his videos.
I just today did my commentary on the Fischer, Benko game on my own video channel! KEWL! I loved your analysis! Am enjoying your videos immensely.....
Always a pleasure to watch Ben's lectures for the chess theory and the comedy
And here I was, thinking Ken West was an arrogant 16 year old
me too.. who would have thought
i thought he's talking about Kanye West ...
"If Larry Evans were here (and he'd look sort of strange because he's been dead for years), he'd say..." LOL
Grandmasta Ben is da man, yo.
Sometimes I get the feeling that Ben Finegold was once a gorilla that some scientists experimented with and suddenly it became intelligent and wanted to harass it´s fellowbeings by playing chess.
very entertaining, this guy is great!
i was legit about to fall asleep when he said "you at home, wake up"
Ben you are savage man haha. This was one amazing lecture. That Pulp Fiction reference was on point.
I actually dreamt that I met GM Finegold last night. I guess a video lecture will have to suffice for now.
Grandmaster Ken West!
And funny, entertaining Ben Finegold.!
How did he know 4 years ago that I was going to nod of in 2020 and call me out like that at the 20:00 mark? "You! Yea, wake up." 😳🤯
Finally we see GM Ken West!
+Manwlatsi That was a LOT of Ken West!
+Manwlatsi I want to see a lecture by the Grandmaster himself. XD
Finegold's lectures usually keep me super happy all the way through. The only line that didn't was "Emory Tate was..."
I didn't know. RIP, a great tactician and another great entertainer. If you haven't, google his games. He has some great ones.
Man I wonder if you have changed your mind at all. Not saying you should change your mind but interesting how emory's reputation may have changed now with his sons
@@carbiv That's a tricky one, isn't it? Perhaps Andrew Tate saw his father and had contempt for his father being so smart and not very wealthy.
We can only blame parents so much for how their kids turn out.
GRANDMASTER KEN WEST!!!
i started watching this at 3am yesterday and was falling asleep and wokeup to ben finegold telling me to wakeup. get out of my head ben!
Ben Finegold is one of the best!
I always believed that GM Ken West was a kid.
BEN IS BACKKKK
I don't know why I like this guy so much but I'm sure he does. easily my favorite instructure.
It is because he adds humor in his lessons. Most teacher that adds humor will be a favorite among students.
i really like this Fine Gold,i wish i discovered him earlier
I felt like I was listening to a non stop comedian, I spent the whole time laughing I found it difficult to concentrate , I still learned but I was always waiting for his wisdom and found his humor more captivating
I adore this guy!
Ben is the best.
Great video Ben
hi.ben.. welcome back.. :-) like u very much
This guy is super entertaining.
"Shabilov played bishop e7, retreating like a frenchman."
drink!
Grandmastering the middlegame
Lie to me was amazingly educational, so true
20:00 i was asleep at the fridge
very suspicious
Welcome back Ben :D
very entertaining Mr Finegold ... and i got the Envouge jock
i like all ppl on this channel but ben is favorite
Rf6! is one of my favorite moves ever!
This guy is a legend
I love this guy
great video
When I was younger I used to get by on a little bit of foresight, but these analysis makes it clear how far out of my league I am these days lol.
The pulp fiction quote is what got my subscription
At 35:15, instead of ...Bxd5, black might play Qxa2. This prevents Rd2 (...Qa1#), weakens Re1 (...Qa1+, Kd2 ...Qxb2 or ...Bxd7, black loses rook on a8 after the knight fork/discover check, but that rook isn't doing anything anyway, black can recapture with the bishop, and the queen is on a more active square, linked to the bishop and still alive), probably provokes the knight fork before the rook move, so Ne7+, but black's queen on d5 or b2 can come to the defense of the black king which is on f8 after the knight fork. Black can even gain a tempo after the knight fork by d5, provoking a queen trade which GM Finegold said white wouldn't do due to tournament rules. At the very least, this stalls the attack, saves the queen, or simplifies the position to provoke a draw.
Qxa2 at 38:00 as well strikes me as the best move.
Thoughts?
+That1GuyWhosNumber1
at 35:15 the white move is Qxg5.
So you're saying Qxa2 now?
It's mate in 2 or 3 moves with Bxg6+.
I am failing school because of these videos!!!
halt die fresse
He said "wake up " like the moment I closed my eyes . I mean.. Wtf 😂
same... lol
Uncle Ben was on fire for this one... lmao so many good lines
Do you guys just want us to fail all of our finals?
+Iñaki Omarrementería Good luck to you in your finals, mine are in 3 days :D
+Captain Yawn thanks buddy
+Iñaki Omarrementería I am failing school because of these videos!!!
Greetings from after finals! We postponed chess and thus didn't fail finals here in this land XD
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttt diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid yoooooooooooooooooou saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay????????????????
I dozed off and woke up when he said, man, that was spooky action at a distance. I care now
He was on fire that day!!
Ben is super funny in this video. I have been binge watching him for 2 weeks. At one point my score went up 200 points!
Mr.Finegold is the real "gold" when it comes to learning chess..
When he said "wake up," I was actually falling asleep. Lol
me: reads title
also me: endgames in middle games, my kind of video
I was literally at the fridge grabbing a beer when he said the one guy is at the fridge hahahahahahahahah. love this guy
Stop trying to wake me up. I watch your videos to go to sleep!
'retreating like a frenchman' 5:55 I take offense to that!
+AFrenchman31 one could also say you resemble that remark?
WWWWWWWWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW
+cmdrfun1 damn broooo!:D
@darknightoftroy thicc
@darknightoftroy nicely put!
I live Ben but I hate the "retreat like a Frenchman!" jokes. Without the French, Ben would be speaking in some silly British accent. Hmmm...maybe given the current state of US affairs, remaining a colony might not have been so bad
That caught me off guard, I was blank staring at the board lmao
This guy is making dorkyness great again. I love chess.
Just came across these chess lectures and love them. Does anyone know if GM's ever sit around talking about World Champions? I'm sure they do, but on video here on You Tube?
Ben Finegold is a good guy
nice ben
He is hillarious, and lessons are amazing. *****
0:47 Ken West!! :D :D
that was Ken West????????????
+Janci Kollarik I thought it was guy my age like 27 or something like that. lol
-_-
Absolute Unit
I feel good because when he said it was a retreat I guessed bishop E1. But in retrospect it was like the only retreat
I love this guy. Hilarious
I’m starting to hate him. He’s not at the comedy club.
This guy is great! 😂
I'm so proud I discovered winning the queen move before he showed it
fantastic lecture
4:59 "you are top 10 in the room" xD
came to watch ben, stayed for ken wes
