    GM Ben FInegold: "Is anybody a Richard Nixon fan in here?"
    Five year old: "He resigned!?"
    GM : "Yeah."

    • @gregbattis
      @gregbattis  7 лет назад +112

      Only a little risky. Checkmate gives white a small advantage.

      Or when the answer is mate but they suggest taking a pawn or something. “Mate is slightly better”

  • @tedtrippi7958
    @tedtrippi7958 7 лет назад +116

    the hardest I've laughed was when he was explaining that it's usually more fun and interesting to look at games of players who are slightly worse than super GMs. But then he goes, "Not like Wednesday nights bad. Because I cry a lot on Wednesday nights... That's my crying night."

    First I hated him but then I got his dry humor and I can't get enough of his golden lectures because of his deeply knowledge of checkers (am I right?) and his great sense of humor. Nevertheless guys the title almost kills me, It was very suspicious and misleading like Qh9...terrible...you scared the shit out of me.
    Now that I’ve seen that Ben is ok I would say that thank you for the great video, and I'd like to salute to Mr. Finegold bc your videos are pure gold Sr. You are not the rotating GM, you are the man for the job so keep going with such a great job of teaching young and old minds how to not suck...for me is little to late but at least you are doing something nice with this Arjun kid and for the rest of us that appreciate your time, jokes, knowledge and hard work, well done. Greetings.

      Except it's NH3... NH3 is the formula for ammonia, which does stink. That's why 1. Nh3 is called the Ammonia Opening. It's possible Ben is confusing NH3 with CH4 which is methane. Methane is the biggest component of "natural gas" and farts. Methane by itself is odorless. Mercaptan, CH4S, is added to methane to make natural gas smell like rotten eggs (for safety).
