That zoom on "I work really hard here" :P
He is overworked
:)
scarscrews overloaded*
There's gold, and then there's finegold.
Ben Finegold, though I've only discovered him 2 days ago, is one of the precious few that can explain chess so informatively and entertainingly at the same time. I think generally, people would find analyzing a game of chess to be one of the most excruciatingly boring things imaginable, but Ben Finegold proves them wrong.
Akobian is better. Finegold makes it too 'childish' and jokes too much. Akobian is a pro who also makes the viewer to think a bit instead of talking chess or dumb things all the time.
I'm not so sure of that.
He’s my favorite 🤩.
Ben is the coolest grandmaster I ever saw.This is his first lecture I was watching, and sure not the last one...
+Marjan Živanović how many did u watch till now?:)
After watching him the first time, I have no desire to see more.
@kensanity178
I feel sorry for you.
ben finegold have great personality I love his lectures he is so funny I love this guy
finally Ben Finegold is back!!!!
So entertaining as usual. Thanks Ben !
I just wanted to say GM Finegold, I love your lectures, you make chess fun and teach at the same time. Keep up the great work! You are helping Patzers like me, Or as you would say, the people in the audience at home! LOL!
Love the freeze frame, Paul Simon!
Great lecture as always.
Who is Paul Simon?
@@VincentFarrugia He meant Ben Simon. Paul Simon is an American singer.
27:06 That's even worse, that's worse than Checkmate!!!!!
Thanks Ben, so entertaining, i love this channel....greets from Germany
Always play Bishop f8!!! Classic!! Excellent lecture as always. Thank you
Finally a finegold lesson again! I love that guy!
I am really happy you're doing a video about my alltime favourite player :) I will enjoy it to the fullest!!!
Well dxe5 is risky, because of ... Qd3, d4 ,d5, d6, Queen g5 attacking both queens. And then Qxd8 mate and then the board gets destroyed :DDDD
Ben Finegold for President !
of FIDE :)
This is not a chess lecture, it's a fucking comedy HAHAHAH
+Daniel J. Rajaiah Agreed!
+Dajura both
Finegold does his best, and chess videos are boring AF. Finegold is one of the only chess teacher I can stand.
This is a fork between good comedy and masterfull chess teaching.
I agree, and not a particularly funny one.
This is one of the most talented individuals I've ever seen!
I love these lectures, I hope he's still with the St Luis Chess Club
Leonid Zakharovich Stein (Леонид Захарович Штейн; November 12, 1934 - July 4, 1973) was a Soviet chess Grandmaster from Ukraine. He won three USSR Chess Championships in the 1960s (1963, 1965, and 1966), and was among the world's top ten players during that era.
He died at 38 years of age of a heart attack.
This guy is awesome both informative and fun. Usually when I learn I am bored but not in this case
Good lecture and very funny!!!
9:14 Arjun is so clever hahaha he ruined Ben's joke by figuring it out before he could tell it.
Ben make more videos I love the videos keep on working
Great choice for a lecture. I seem to remember Stein winning some great Kings Indian's way back in the Soviet Championship era. I'll look for the old tournament books.
I never can finish his lectures because of his humor
You are so good and so funny, you deserve a raise!
6:05 I wont lie, he got me
For me you are a legend Mr FInegold
"I thought this was the legends in your own mind class" XD
Me too!
I LOL'ed so hard 22:52
Today I learned that bishops move backwards. thanks GM BF
There was one game, it is covered in Kasparov's book about Petrosjan and Spasski, where Stein played as black vs (Portisch? I can't quite remember) and just let one of his knights be taken by his opponent, played on without a care in the world and played a really nice game which he did not lose! I think it was a KID. I loved that game so much and it was very inspiring for me!
4.00 dat pic
15:18 "mate in 22 moves" - Eugene Nalimov
This was very entertaining!
I really like your kind of teaching Mr. Finegold. It is never boring and I can learn very much. But you really should exercise the pronunciation of the word "Zwischenzug"! I heart it and it churned me cause I am German and I could almost not understand it.
russians should slow down ? can someone explain this it very important
if you're rushing you're going fast. rushing - Russian. play on words.
wow !!
lol
firendable Rush in, c4 d4 d5 rawr
Yeah fire engines are all red, and they're always rushin around.
The most exciting chess player I've seen so far .
Ben, you cant play f5 in every game, Brock Lesnar will sue you..
Tomek Duresov Brock Lesnar won't sue him, he will f5 him.
lol
And then the whole world will say " who the hell does this fat guy think he is" and then they will answer their own question: "Beats the snot out of me"
at 27:11, he could have played Bxf7 with mate rather than Qxc6
yeah that what they dissgused few seconds later
Leonid Stein passed at age 38 in 1973.
RIP.
Interesting that he won two Soviet championships in a row and stated that he carefully studied Fischer's games. Maybe he said some unwise things after Fischer won the WCC in 1972.
hahahah, i loved the zoom on the final video xD
what about c6 at 9:35? still loses but no mate that i can forsee
c6 Rf8+ Kb7 Bf4 and there is no way to stop mate in 1.
If Kc7, then Bf4+ and mate in 1 is coming.
no, SynsityGW is correct c6 does draw the game out longer.
Re8+ Kb7, Bf4 Bd3 providing an escape square for the king...
or
Re8+ Kc7, Bf4+ Rd6... white has no immediate mate.
Who else puts this as background noise when working. Like if you do.
Thumbs up to Ben
This dude Grandmaster Ben Finegold really make a Mark Fuhrman reference lmao
Edit: bro he really tied it up at the end, I saw it coming
27:04 If Qe7 then Bxf7++ Ben missed this? Sign me up for grandmaster lol!
Interesting, Thanks!
6:05 I lost it
The third game reminds me of Ivanchuk-Kasparov from Linares 1991
Ben is the bestestestest
#finegold4bestgm
that's an elected position, right?
Why isn't this guy commenting all the chess majors?
AT 20:22 there is a mate in 2 super easy. Queen takes pawn on h6, King to g8, Qg7#! Hard to believe GM's missed this!
TexasSizzle Whose move is it?
Agreed.
27:05 Bxf7, checkmate :P
Vous parlez très bien français ! Very good :D
"not very explosive here..." too good.
somehow the c4 explosives didnt detonate.
Go 0.5x speed at 0:40, it's so chill
Haha! That still at 4:07 is priceless!
What about Rubenstein? I heard he was pretty good.
doesn't c6 stop the mate on the first game?
at 43:10 Bc1 is weird. why not bxe6 and if b4 bxf7+rxf7 rxf7 and if ba3 qg4 is too strong.
29:20 "Class Dismissed.." haha Ben Finegold is so jokes
so jokes?!
fuckin hilarius. GM and my idiol, ben finegold
@15:17 Lomonosov 7 piece says mate in 23.
4:00 lol
Two A players didn't know how that rule works?!
Buena
19:39 so HIGH up in the chessboard that he can do that move 😂
agreed let honor stein...😂👍
"That guy is right, whoever that guy is, ok?" :D
At 4:05 xDD LOL!!! Hahahaa
31:42 Qxd7 is not checkmate in one as Black's K could move to f8.
You're right but then Qe7# so it doesn't make any difference.
at 8:47, an homage to jim garrison's wit?
22:50 LOL
Bring back GM Akobian
Both GM Akobian and GM Finegold are great teachers in my view
wow, my favorite german word is kenwest!
Nevermind. Thought I saw a Knight on f5. My bad
Is he always 14yo when he talks of being a young lad?
Why is he always picking on Ken West?
Because Mr. West has been playing chess for ages but has a low rating.
20:33 kf5 is better cuz then mate is unavoidable except u trade ur quin while taking the pawn is good but then black can stop mate with rook g8
I'd take lessons from this guy just for the jokes. "Qh6 mate will give white the advantage."
*dab*
Fuck I had a good lol at Qd3
8:40 ahahahaahaha
'... yes?'
'no'
'close'
Hi
c'est la meme chose, 23:37 does Ben know french?
Oscar Garcia yes he lived in Belgium for several years playing chess professionally and picked up French along the way
really?
yah its mentioned in a couple vids, check out one w a title something along the lines of 'my great middlegames from the 80s' as my memory serves he sheds some light
15:16 Tablebase says #23
this guy's mad funny
4:05
Lol queens gambit accepted, make an exception for ken west.
"His opponent did some crazy thing ruining the computer." :D
:D
Ftacnik analysis of Petrosian game...
You're just asking me to say: 'I just lost from my dog?'.
I've just now played a game of chess with a random dog :) ...and lost.
:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Boh, whoa, whoa!

not knowing the players involved in the lecture or making fun of them in a away e.i. their names, that is not being a cool teacher . that is just plain rude and uncultured . And another thing: If you try to act like your lack of information is baddass ,it is not really, it is just plain unprofessional
DJTalpes "lack of information" haha. This is a grandmaster lecture. It is geared towards everyone who isn't a grandmaster. That would include masters. Perhaps you are a grandmaster, but I would more easily believe that you are one of those who is thinking Arby's.
DJTalpes "The oak (finegold) does not care, if a pig (you) is rubbing its back against it. " Nothing left to say...
That's just Ben's usual humor. You have to watch more of his videos to understand. Also, I think it's pretty ignorant of you to comment on his "lack of knowledge" when he's a grandmaster.
he has the chess knowldege no doubt about that, but basic names and dates...
yesenadam lol, nice job troll. I see you're very dedicated to your work.
Lmao Arjen's voice
The correct answer is PAT BUCHANAN !!!!
Krompir
King e-8 threatening to castle, that was hands down the funniest thing i've ever heard. th-cam.com/video/eM82L0n3Q7A/w-d-xo.html
nife F fife
Queen take's f 7 mate with advantage L O L Ben of curse mating your opponent has advantage i'd sack a queen to mate Magnus Carlsen Hahahah OF CURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
