This made me go back and rewatch that episode of The Simpsons. Also I guessed "Babysitter from Hell". Thanks GM B.F. please continue to make more videos forever!
you know i was thinking about it, and im not sure. I belive this was recorded the day after, so the last video was not yet edited. But maybe the two Bens knew al ready, i dont know. Illuminati confirmed. :)
even if i don't get any better at chess, at least i learned that E.F. Hutton is a stock brokerage firm known for the advertising slogan "when E.F. Hutton talks people listen." thanks Ben.
Ken West VS Paul Morphy 1. Ken West is ALIVE. (though maybe not) 2. Morphy is unrated. 3. Ken West eats pizza, unlike Paul Morphy. 4. Both give simultaneous exhibitions, though Paul Morphy wins more.
I think he says that because of something that happened on a lecture, where Ben said "this queen is, like me.." and some student responded: "overloaded". Of course Ben meant overworked.
Drinking and chess doesn't go togather, true story I played in a tournament that I thought was over (got like 3rd). I went drinking to celebrate then they called me telling me that it wasn't over , so I went back and had to play the last game Drunk. I could barely make legal moves so I forfeited. Maybe if it was a kids Wednesday night tourney, I could've pulled it off
That face at 7:49 if you pause it just right is the funniest look to his "oh" story. Hardest I've laughed at a Finegold joke. Great set up on it too. Then he contritely downtrails his voice as he ends on a murmered "I resigned"
This was a good lecture, but you need to make them longer please. And make them louder. Also, make them when we want you to. And finally, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
No, he just forgot it. SL Club staff recommendations are that board is switched to be from perspective of player of whose game you are showing. And it makes sense, this time lecture was bit weird looking.
albin maestro maybe you don't know ben Feingold that well if you think he follows rules he can barely keep himself from making illegal moves on the chess board
US should purchase more female players to really be competitive in chess. There are only 2 US players in top 100, placed 33 and 44 at the moment. Bribe couple of top ten players and let's start the "USA, USA!" chant. I recommend both Ukrainian sisters, ranked 3 and 6. They are relatively younger than the rest of the top 10 so it's a better return on investment. Pretty sure CIA could arrange them for cheap, considering the political situation. You know... making an offer they can't refuse. Too bad there are no top female players from the Philippines. That's basically USA, correct? Ok, I wasn't sure what I was thinking, I just checked the male ranking and there is not a single male top 100 player from Philippines either. They can't play chess over there.
wait wait wait. womans chess championships exist? wtf? a womans mind has the same capacity as a mans mind. this isnt muscular differences (the reason there is a womans basketball and a mans basketball league) what the actual fuck.
Liquid Dabs it's called a bell curve. Men occupy the majority of the extremes of iq. So you have far more idiots and far more geniuses. Women occupy the majority of average iq. Fewer idiots and fewer geniuses. Iq measures abstract analytical ability which is what chess is all about. Therefore in order to have a more fair (and more fun) system women have their own championships. And their own titles. Because women just on average can't compete in the hard slog fight of a draining six hour chess game. If I recall correctly no more than 10 women have at anyone time been in the chess top 100. And only one woman has been in the top 10, and that was Judit Polgar (an excellent player btw) who l believe was 8th at one point if memory serves. So I agree it doesn't really matter for the club level. Roughly 1200 to 1900 as plenty of men and women occupy that field. However, as soon as you reach towards the IM and GM levels fewer and fewer women can play with parity against their male counterparts. Few people are above 2650. Far far far fewer women are above 2650. That's life. So if you start mixing men and women, women will never win. Every now and again a Polgar or a Krush will come along and win a round or two or even a tourney or two. But men will just dominate on the regular. That is why seperate systems exist.
IQ is only loosely correlated with chess ability though. Magnus Carlsen at 10 would smoke any chess playing PHD professor at Harvard/Stanford/MIT/wherever (as long as they weren't incidentally a chess master).
I can't hear this. I'm too stupid to use my computer. Send me a new computer.
Edward Bottle lmao
Edward Bottle I can hear it, but how do I comment?
Well I can hear it
Sounds like a Finegold-joke.
Send me your computer i can fix it
Pulp Fiction: "What's your name?" "Butch." "Butch...What does it mean?" "I'm an American honey our names don't mean shit."
I’ve reached the point in my life where I respond to Ben calling on “you at home” in these lectures
"When I was alive" Ben Finegold confirmed for ghost
Suggestion for future lectures: Karpov's Caro Kann!
Ben's nametag is missing the most important two letters.
Dad jokes that are 1. always different 2. actually funny
Must be mortifying for his kids to have such an oddball dad. Funny how that works.
always different? Dude knows like 5 "jokes"
keep doing the lectures. you are the best :)
41 minutes! This just keeps getting better and better.
0:30 Great way of hiding the CPU logo!
The secret is out!
Dude - Best GM commentary period. Everyone can understand you clearly, plus you’re funny as hell. Love you man ❤️
I can't hear it!
well i cant hear it
Is this UPS cutomer service? ... Hello?
I can (on my laptop)
He's talking about the trump card in bridge. Not the Republican presidential nominee.
i think so too, but it was not totally clear
This made me go back and rewatch that episode of The Simpsons. Also I guessed "Babysitter from Hell". Thanks GM B.F. please continue to make more videos forever!
Can i give a lecture on how not to blunder a queen?
I'll show my games and say "don't do that".
I want one month membership.
29:07 I like how he says probably black is better when there is a mate in 1 for black on the board.
nope. it was white's move
Yy I just wanted to make a note of the threat black has.
he kept looking at the camera
I can hear you pretty well, but I when I play music at the same time I can't hear you... Can you fix the video please??
lol Ben is awesome. Right of the bat he makes the inside joke about editing out stuff in the last vid.
you know i was thinking about it, and im not sure. I belive this was recorded the day after, so the last video was not yet edited. But maybe the two Bens knew al ready, i dont know. Illuminati confirmed. :)
Its always the evil aliens who done it!
he probably just was doing the same thing last lecture but the editor took it seriously hahaha
32:16 what about Nb4? Doesn't that save the knight? You even have time to -play Re2 or however you want to defend against the knight fork, first.
a new Plinkett review AAAND a new Ben Finegold lecture in one day? awww yes
I know right! happy days
I wonder if I leave a comment if Ben will send me a pizza roll.
when he returned they should have called the episode the "ben awakens"
I can't hear this video, I'm too stupid to use my computer. Someone please help
Try the "ON" button.
Big Like... like always..
19:43 Simultaneous in the park, based on a true story LOL
GrandMaster Finegold is cracking me up
Always enjoy your videos! :)
I can’t here the audio. Send me a new computer.
Dolphine noise on 16:15
lol
Good lecture , can u review more grandmaster games like carlsen, fischer?
i see a Finegold video, i like it
i was right at 10:55 - and you told me i was wrong
37:43, Bc6 is good too
even if i don't get any better at chess, at least i learned that E.F. Hutton is a stock brokerage firm known for the advertising slogan "when E.F. Hutton talks people listen." thanks Ben.
Who is better? Paul Morphy or GM Ken West?
Ken West for sure. Morphy is dead, I mean, if he was alive, for sure GM Ken West. ;)
Morphy did not even have an established rating.
gm ken west is the best buddy ever
Ken West VS Paul Morphy
1. Ken West is ALIVE. (though maybe not)
2. Morphy is unrated.
3. Ken West eats pizza, unlike Paul Morphy.
4. Both give simultaneous exhibitions, though Paul Morphy wins more.
GM Ken West has "GM" in front of his name, Morphy doesn't. No contest.
Simply the most entertaining yet instructive chess teacher out there (though Simon Williams is great too). Another brilliant lecture :D
Go Ben!
Yes, I raised my hand.
Only old people, like me, got the EF Hutton joke I imagine
I know you can read my thoughts Ben, meow meow meow meow meow meow meow meow
So the Spencer is Bens son right?
Ben, make one about Karjakin, please!
26:20 Ben, did you mean overloaded?
Two different terms, interchangeable.
I think he says that because of something that happened on a lecture, where Ben said "this queen is, like me.." and some student responded: "overloaded". Of course Ben meant overworked.
Sergi I think that was Julian. He gets his digs in.
SEND ME A COMPUTER
I can hear it!
I can't hear this, I'm too stupid to use my computer, send me a new computer!
>_> Also Loved your Simpson...I mean Chess lecture again Ben.
Would it be Windows or iMac?
$999.99 for Windows, $999.98 foe iMac
Usually my oppenents are unable to get the initiative/develop a plan, so really it is just a waste to think about their moves.
Try playing someone good.
Drinking and chess doesn't go togather, true story I played in a tournament that I thought was over (got like 3rd). I went drinking to celebrate then they called me telling me that it wasn't over , so I went back and had to play the last game Drunk. I could barely make legal moves so I forfeited.

Mikhail Tal disagrees. Very suspicious...
That face at 7:49 if you pause it just right is the funniest look to his "oh" story. Hardest I've laughed at a Finegold joke. Great set up on it too. Then he contritely downtrails his voice as he ends on a murmered "I resigned"
Can't believe you didn't get a 'put it in h' in in the Simpsons lecture! I expect many to compensate in the next one! Terrible Ben!
This was a good lecture, but you need to make them longer please. And make them louder. Also, make them when we want you to. And finally, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.
Finegold is gold :D
FINEGOOOOOOLDLDDDDLDLDLDDLDL
BEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Ben Finegold.
i canot hear it
In first game Ben forgot to flip the board. :)
Nah he likes to teach it from the other perspective sometimes
No, he just forgot it. SL Club staff recommendations are that board is switched to be from perspective of player of whose game you are showing. And it makes sense, this time lecture was bit weird looking.
albin maestro maybe you don't know ben Feingold that well if you think he follows rules he can barely keep himself from making illegal moves on the chess board
Then he is lucky Mike Kummer was not there.
albin maestro lol true
Quote Finegold: " - When I was alive in chess…" Ha ha ha so now he is living his chessic afterlife? Or has he found new meaning in life?
Word girl in title = ++views
i love ben finegold as much as he likes the simpsons
I broke my keyboard can someone send me a new one???
oh and monitor too thanks
You at home! Wrong!
10:36 come one! I said Nb4! :D
Last moves you have white Qe1#
who knew there where so many chess references in the Simpsons...? pretty cool
"I prefer white but black is alright - what does he mean?" lol
Ciao Pietro
the word "Trump" in a video?! very suspicious...
You at home ! hahahah
Japanese モフちゃん has strong chess!
non anish giri move lol
I can hear it...Wait now i can't. Now I an feel it but not taste it...
DOH!
Never understood how a grown man can look at the simpsons. Children, of course. But adults? Surely there are better things to do with your time Ben?
I can't hear it XD hahaha
You know this is the 21st century when the two American girls in question possess last names such as "Yu" and "Wang"
chinese americans have been here for more than 150 years. good try tho. ur only wrong by 2 centuries.
I can hear nassing!
stop teasing grand master ken west !!!! lol

trdi purchase? Uh...
what is a flag? and whats this? LOL im dying
Come on Ben you need to chill out :))) What is your issue with poor Joshua?
He said that Morphy wouldn't even be master strength today. Unforgivable.
Did you notice that Communist Russia does not exist?;-)
wait wait wait. womans chess championships exist? wtf?
a womans mind has the same capacity as a mans mind. this isnt muscular differences (the reason there is a womans basketball and a mans basketball league) what the actual fuck.
