This video reminds me of Nairobi. I was in Nairobi when I started watching Ben Finegold's videos. That's one of my favorite things in Nairobi. I like Kempinsky Hotel and the Westlands as well.
Thank you Mr. Finegold, finally i have some surprise weapon against the French which i was avoiding with 2. d3 ?! till now. I already won two games with your 3. Q*d4 in the d6 sicilian against a 1900 and a 2000 player, i never played willingly knight against bishop before. Nice Greatings from the Orlicke Mountains here in the Czech Republic.
Wish there was more about the positive aspects of an isolated pawn. Most of the games here don't really show that, and the one game (out of four) the isolani won it didn't play that big a role in the win. GMBF said "most people don't like isolated pawns, because they're dogmatic", but didn't do much to ameliorate that here. Need to see games where the advanced outposts on K5/QB5 play a role in a win, or the pawn advances/exchanges/sacrifices with an opening of lines benefiting the side with the isolani.
In the first game, is the isolated pawn on d5 really the defining feature of the position? White has numerous other advantages as well (weakened b5-square, bishop pair, control of the open c-file, easier development, dark-square control), which eventually turn out to have much more of an impact than the d5 pawn.
this is not my first video from Finegold! great teacher! I hope to be at his level in the next 5 years! I am starting to dream about chess at night, so i know im on the road. But sorry Finegold, your not in my dreams xoxoxo
I'm listening while at work and 10 seconds in I am stifling laughter and look at the screen to see him looking at the crowd wondering why no one got the joke.
Makingnewnamesisdumb if you haven't played in a chess tournament, there are conditions like "first 30 moves in 1 hour", at which time you add maybe another hour for the rest of the game. Repeating moves helps you reach that point.
"incorrect! you considered it" absolutely brilliant
Always love Ben. My favorite lecturer on this channel.
"He who fears an isolated Queen's Pawn should give up Chess". -Siegbert Tarrasch
I mean Tarrasch defence probably leads to the most Isolated Queens pawn situations. Of course he world say that
@@gsriram3959 would*
What a tarrasch take on the subject
"Nein" - Siegbert Tarrash
Best, most hilarious teacher i've learned from online or in person. Thank you for these great lessons.
I hope all of Ben's lectures stay here on TH-cam until I watched them all! They are exceptionally great!
The biggest legend of the chess world. Love you GM Finegold!
What a great lecture. I wish my college professors had anywhere Ben's charisma and insight.
Thank you GM Finegold and Saint Louis chess club. Very nice lecture.
Hi, NH3 is ammonia, NH4+ is the ammonium ion , eg NH4CL is ammonium chloride, thanks for the videos
"Qg8 mate with advantage" hillarious :D

That Al Chow game was also in Ben's Attack lecture. Guess it's just that good.

do you mean 4. Qxd4
12:29 haha! "That's why he's an IM and I'M not. Wait a minute..."
It is ammonia, molecules get a different suffix (mostly -ide, like chloride) when they become ions.
At 0:20 it would have been super funny if he actually ended the lecture
NH3 is the compound Ammonia. The NH4+ (positive) ion is referred to as ammonium

botvinnik has some good games with isolated pawns..
I think he meant the isolated pawn helps aid your pieces not that you use it directly
Shame on the four people who actually disliked this video
NH4+ is ammonium, the ion of ammonia (NH3)
Haha, love it... Nb4 = the night before.
yaaaay isolated queen pawn positions! my favorite topic!

It was an opening desaster indeed.
Ben is just awesome. If he were not a not chess player, he could be a comedian.
this is not my first video from Finegold! great teacher! I hope to be at his level in the next 5 years! I am starting to dream about chess at night, so i know im on the road. But sorry Finegold, your not in my dreams xoxoxo
How'd it go?
Oh, man. Don't leave us hanging too long with an update.
good lecture
What happens if Re2? Was he really forced to sac the exchange?
what am i missing? at 36:00 queen to d7 mate?
goldenhealer dijk he can go to f8
He is funny, don´t understand why I can barely hear any laugh from the audience
I'm listening while at work and 10 seconds in I am stifling laughter and look at the screen to see him looking at the crowd wondering why no one got the joke.
It's because you're laughing too hard to hear it! haha
Do you know how the opening of the first game is called??
nimzo indian claasical Qc2
That Nh4 ammonium joke :O
but no video ?!
Why do you always repeat check move patterns?
It helps you reach the time control.
They usually put the clocks pretty close to you, though, don't they?

nh4 is ammonium, ammonia is nh3
Would Re7 be a bad move for black in this endgame?
Guess who's back....!
isolated queen LOL
Ammonium in Nh4. Ammonia is Nh3.
it's a little suspicious
First game black didn't know what he was doing. Not only isolated pawn but bad bishop, hole on b5...just awful position.
first viewer
this speaker should consider spending more time talking about chess? i mean, he constantly gets off topic with silly little jokes
I would learn a lot from this guy if he could get through a sentence without the snark and "humor."
