I've been watching Ben for years and I never knew Karen was older than him! I have a good excuse though, I don't know anything

[@basti2955]

why would you have known or why would it matter?

[@kerryfry1857]

The truth hurts.

[@gibraltar5059]

Very suspicious!

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

Ben what are u talking abouth he run from the Nacist in Argentina and the nacist also run in Argentina so 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jetpaq]

Old or not ben is a total pimp for having pulled such a fine woman!
Jus sayin.....😁😍

[@allannouri6787]

Waiting for a future Jamaican super GM to prove Ben wrong.

[@f.d.3289]

he'll revolutionize bongcloud theory

[@donsimons9810]

well when they figure out how to use AIs down there, maybe. at the least they’ll let you know a prince wants to send money to your account for a small fee

[@DA-zh9gi]

Nice job Ben. You don't get enough credit as a comic chess genius. Your videos are always very entertaining.😂

[@orion0716]

Ben’s double queen sacrifice game may not have been sound chess, but it’s still one of my favorite Finegold clips.

"Tarjan has a very funny story. He was raised by animals in the jungle..."

[@gunnarschneider5573]

heikki westerinen is the most finish name i have heard. i was kind of sad that noone guessed his country

[@coosoorlog]

I would have been quite surprised. It's not common for Americans to know more than a handful of European countries by name. btw Ben's pronounciation wasn't bad on the second try. I think to nail words like "Heikki", as a non-Finnish speaker, you have to pay close attention to that double consonant length.

[@NS-mm6jq]

yeah mate the same here. Even an adult man from the audience doesn't know anything about Europe. Sad

[@petargadev6630]

That old timer is killing me

[@PrithwijitTripathi]

Go Ben!!!

[@johnathant6735]

Student who talks too much is back. Haven’t heard him in awhile.

[@armchairradical2665]

wish people would not talk except for ben

[@timothysoar1321]

Love his Southern drawl

[@ostensiblyquerulous]

Larsen had 2.5/4 and Fisher had 3/4 in the USSR vs ROW apparently. Fisher had the best results on the world side, but both won their boards.

[@rymlks]

I cant believe you didn't call it a Tal Tale

"Do you lose every game?" 😂🤣😂🤣

[@scowell]

Good to hear Dave again... hope he's doing well, been a while since this was recorded. Got some background on him too... he's an old-timer.

sickkkk

Damn Ben is always a savage lol

[@peterchandler9230]

Westerinen is still alive. aged 79!!

[@leobaker9686]

79! is a crazy age to live to, but 79!! is truly something else

[@coosoorlog]

@@leobaker9686 79!! years is more than about 10^46 times the age of the universe. 79! is actually a much larger number. double factorial has this specific interpretation where you only use every other integer.

[@paulgoogol2652]

Lasker - Thomas 1912 probably. Ben showed a million times.
