5:02 blunder

Ben, remember the truth hurts

Go ben!

Thanks Ben, I took your advice to heart and just decided to stop blundering and I gained 700 rating over 3 months on Lichess

he is not 100 percent right in my opinion, dont get me wrong his probably 70 or 80 percent right, blundering is a problem, but i do believe that some basic knowlrdge of opening, middlegame and ending is necessary, nothing complex but like mating with rook and basic mistakes like the greek gift etcetera are useful else you will keep getting into games where you have the feeling you gradually have a deteriorating position, dont know why and have to give a piece by force anyway...

Unwatchable. You really just started a video with food in your mouth? Come on!

He was not that much of an alcoholic, I mean he only drank when he was awake

Considering i Watch Niclas‘s Channel and your‘s,ben,i needed to Watch this video.

Beautiful ending!

Beautiful ending!

Speed 1.5 thank me later

Ben reuploading the same video over and over and thinking we won't notice:

The early works of Prokofiev are some of my favorite, he had a really advanced music head. Awesome he played chess also.

If I don't know my opening then my opponent doesn't.

Talk about being pinned down by enemy artillery. Damn!

Enrico knew the "always repeat" rule and he eventually got his GM title. Good, good!

Telling kids which news network is crazy. Lol political ppl are rather subtly toxic. Other than that touch of one dimensional idiocy. Entertaining stuff.

Taimanov (concert pianist) and Smyslov (opera singer) are my top picks for music people who can play chess. Sting, on the other hand, is a terrible chess player.

Drink Crush while playing games where your opponent is looking to achieve a norm.

That rook sac was nasty

Go NFL draft

This lecture has aged pretty well. Who hasn't aged so much yet is Gukesh himself.

Is Papa John's vegan?

Imagine if you were as good as Magnus Carlsen، God knows what you're doing in u videos right?

Go Karen!

Go is a different game than chess!

insert pun here

Dave is an excellent audience, except one thing...

So Prokofiev was not only a more profficient musician than Ravel, but also a better chess player. Was he better at everything? The truth hurts.

That ending was awesome. Not the chess move, the fact that Ben was wearing pants.

I guess anybody is a great player, so far as somebody sponsors a lecture for them 🙂

Wouldn't an analysis of Fabi - Nepo get more views than anything else this year? Maybe not, what do I know about youtube.

go ben

In April 2024,, this almost 2 year-old video is looking like one of Ben's best. The comments starting at at 5:55 (especially 6:04) and 49:27 (esp. 50:00) have aged particularly well at this point. It is good to see a player who is solid in his preparation, likes "double-edged" and exciting matches, and gets wins as black. Obviously his Candidates performance didn't come out of nowhere. 4.5 points as black even with one loss! Impressive. Ben, we'll need another video, Gukesh v2. While you're at it, give us some good Candidates 2024 content too! Good luck to Gukesh in the world championsip match later this year!

22:01 that french laugh gets me everytime 😂

I see Ben Finegold, I watch.

Happy reminiscing Ben! Karen seems like a lovely partner. Love and enjoy your lessons!

OK, Ben. You have already convinced me. I plan to listen to "The Dance of the Knights" on loop during my next lichess bullet tournament.

Me watching lectures answer Smyslov instantly 😂

Please do one if these videos on dubov

Looking forward to the sequel video: Back in the Night

impressive that you detected this amazing player, that passed under our radar. well done Ben

Bishop A7 is a monster move! Found myself laughing. And "I'm not saying that Karpov is human...", tears in my eyes.

Good thing he stopped the white bishop from going to B5 on move 2 😂

Mic drop at the end was pretty bad-ass lol nice video.

so this video is basically Ben looking at the engine and saying the answer and evaluation... you could do it alone, Dina.

Menachem Begin also played chess. How good was he?
