Wake up babe, new finegold video
I watched your video on endgames and then found two of the positions your covered and won games I wouldn't have otherwise. Thank you
He’s always known as Adolf Anderrsen because you can’t refer to him as just Adolf anymore. Some chancellor saw to that
bury your comment in a Bunker
Really pretty name. Ruined by mustache man
Hold the fort…
Been waiting for this one!
Dude, this vid is from September 8, 2020
Wait a second, a kid is contributing to the class, and they're correct!? And they're seeing the combinations faster than me, Mr. TH-cam viewer at home?
This is outrageous!
This. Is. Fries.
I know him as the namesake of 1.a3, and of course, his games against Morphy
this is the greatest Ben Finegold lecture that has ever been made on Adolf Anderssen as a great player of the past while Ben was sitting in his chair.
Debatable
Those were the golden times of ferocious attacking chess 😲👍👍👍
@Ben, you said you don't know much about Dufresne, so here's some info you might find interesting: Dufresne was the original author of that famous German beginner's chess book with the hightest number of revisions and most sold chess books ever in Germany: "Kleines Lehrbuch des Schachspiels" (1881). After he died, Jacques Mieses took over as editor, more editions were published with the title "Lehrbuch des Schachspiels". After WW2, Rudolf Teschner continued to edit the book, especially in the area of opening novelties. It is still being edited and sold now, and I own a copy of the 31st edition from 2004. It is a beautifully made and solidly bound, very nice pocket book which is small enough to take with you on travel, accompanied by a pocket chess board. If you are a chess book collector (and I suppose you are?!) you must absolutely own a copy of that book, because it's an all time immortal classic, as immortal as Anderssens game!
The big Anish Giri shade is at 13:20
Last game was super
Prussia was named after a baltic tribe around Königsberg. But Prussia is a true German state. Berlin was the capital of that state and this state was the leading one in Germany, which united it in 1871.
In Eastern part of Germany there are a lot of slavic names. There were some movements in ancient history. The territority around the river Oder was territority of Germanic tribes, Slavic tribes migrated into that territority (presumably peacefully, but there were some fortifications, which only have sense without complete peace), then it became ruled by Germanic tribes again (more forcefully). The Teutonic Order conquered some territories as far as around Königsberg (war). Some Slavic tribes settled and migrated there too (less war).
But Adolf Anderssen came from Breslau, a true German town. The territory was called Schlesien. This is a bit southern to the ancient Prussian territory. Then - at the end of WW2 - Germans had to leave that area. Soviet Union took some Polish territory and the Polands were settled in Eastern German territory. Between 1819 and 1879 Breslau was the most important town in Schlesien, Germany.
More about the history would be too long.
Breslau was also the birth place of another famous German Chess Master of the past: Siegbert Tarrasch, who later in his life was the author of the very popular beginner's chess book "Das Schachspiel" (1910). Because of that very successful book (and others like "300 Schachpartien") and his thoroughly done analyses he informally got the title of "Praeceptor Germaniae" (Instructor of Germany).
"at end of ww2 the natzees had to leave the area"😂😂😂😂 never stops being funny af
22:00 I never realized that black has all of his pieces but is in checkmate. White sacrificed a Queen, 2 rooks, AND his bishop for this attack.
Mr. Finegold, do Tassilo von der Lasa. Please.
"need more queens... too much bughouse..." 🙃
What. At 13:00 you talk about Nf3 but the bishop becomes how could Giri miss this
How many words
