Gotta love how the thumbnail features GM Finegold doing his signature move of Looking up while rolling his eyes and shaking his head (probably saying "terrible").
i was saying to myself earlier today... "Self, it would be nice to see a new GM Ben Finegold lecture.". When I got home, there was a new GM Ben Finegold lecture for me to watch. Nice.
Looking at come suspicious comments gives you an idea about why Ben rather sticks with kids than produce free content for a 'leave no good deed unpunished' crowd. Good to see you back, Ben, you make a great part of the St. Louis team! As for his reduced online presence: Just b/c Ben appears to be a funny guy doesn't mean he cannot take sensible business decisions. And there's lots of smart people realizing that swimming with the social media flow isn't what they want in life not what they're good at. Playing uncommented blitz in your pajamas to trance music while admiring your hairstyle isn't everyone's cup of tea...
Is reasonable but Ben wanted to get his bishop to d2 without losing a pawn. c5 is coming either way* and will take d4 if there's a pawn on it and then the bishop won't have time to maneouvre without unprotecting and losing a pawn. Enticing c5 without a pawn on d4 gives white time to move bishop to d2 while the c5 pawn blocks the attack on the e3 pawn. * I wonder if Bc5 is better. Probably not. It's suspicious: it leaves the h pawn undefended
15:05 "No talking unless you raise your hand. Don't raise your hand" LMAOOOOOOO
"A queen is worth nine. If you don't agree with that, but you speak German, it's still the same"

A Queen's worth nine; and if you're German and you don't agree with that, it's still nein.
at 8:00 , why white can't play knigh H4 ? it seems black would lose after taking the bishop bc knight*g6 leads to a quick checkmate
Yeah, use the force ha ha haaaaaaaaaa!
why don't you show the kids the "en passant"?
the fork pun tho lol
Who's "Rick"?
+Christopher Johnson A member of the Club.
lol at 12:42 "oranges aren't pies". "But are they?".
what does the P in ben p finegold stand for? paul?
At about 25:30 why not ...nec7?
is Mathew Larsen a FM ?
yes, except he is Matthew Larson
What a happy surprise! Ohio scored 800 points? Highly suspicious.
26:03 why can't we play Rfc8 attacking the trapped queen?
GoldenSquare You would be exchanging the Queen for 2 Rooks, plus your opponent will have and infiltrated Rook and an extra tempo because of the check
Class Dismissed!
7:48 what about d4?
Is reasonable but Ben wanted to get his bishop to d2 without losing a pawn. c5 is coming either way* and will take d4 if there's a pawn on it and then the bishop won't have time to maneouvre without unprotecting and losing a pawn. Enticing c5 without a pawn on d4 gives white time to move bishop to d2 while the c5 pawn blocks the attack on the e3 pawn.
* I wonder if Bc5 is better. Probably not. It's suspicious: it leaves the h pawn undefended
What is it about star wars and forks?
"force" sounds like forks.
