I am so happy to see you are still doing Lectures on YT, Twitch Streams just aren't my thing. But the Lectures are pure Gold I have watched them all since STLCC and CCSCATL probably multiple times lol. Go Ben!
Kaidanov may not have been a world champion contender like other past greats covered in this series, but Ben's knowledge of him made it just as interesting, maybe even more instructive than usual.
After some thought about the "powerful premier pawn push" or 4P as the pawn move to square 4! Interesting naming for a move that has no title. Just a suggest, but a request for some feedback at best.
I wonder why he analyzed his games 5x !?!? Secret study secrets like that is what people want to o hear. I heard Zuzsa Polgar and Lev Poulgavsky would play 5 blindfold games a day which i highly doubt but still interesting
😁How can that be: You don't remember the result where you are lost? My Wife says: " Entliest that your Favorite GM has a good sense of humor, and can be Joking on her self account".
May I ask a silly question? I have indirectly asked on a previous vidsession about "Pawn Lift" being coined for the premier pawn push and now I confided to being baffled by the naming order and having the colors being reversed order. Am I confused easily? Yes, and I wonder if this is also a non-standard use of old that is never going to be corrected for vismental ease? Do you see what I see? THE TRUTH HURTS? I hope not for you or others but maybe change is not so bad and joyful. Thanks again for your sharing and fine fettle to yours. PS Drink green tea as a "pawn lift" for reaching 100% Just 1% improvement a day can lead to fantastic fantasies.
I do understand you are showing the player's perspective but being a noob I have to concede, it is silly but sans standards this order could be transposed in other media. I guess that is chess, but I naively quess, Is this a vistest, that I am to best?
And if anybody cares, the Green Tea is a counter move against promoting alcohol as it shortens lifespans and health spans. 100 years takes 100%. 1% a day you keep _____________ abbey, you just have to obey, oy vey! YOU should say, my chess BF.
would you consider remaking some of your top watched video's that ya made on other channels before a few years back ,some have over half a million views now and could be something to look into one day for your own channel 👍
How do you play tennis with everyone. I’m not a tennis player but when I’ve tried it’s an exhausting sport. I’m catching my breath after every point. But I’ve seen pictures of you from when you were a teenager on and you never looked fit. How the hell do you play tennis?

You might even say the lectures are "fine" gold.
@@vikramkrishnan6414 Exactly
…but stay there.
This was one of your best lectures, seeing it again after so long, you deserve another round of applaud.
And 1 year later still brilliant. Getting close to Kaidanovs 5 time analysis xD
Kaidanov may not have been a world champion contender like other past greats covered in this series, but Ben's knowledge of him made it just as interesting, maybe even more instructive than usual.
This GM was long overdue for coverage! And who better to cover him than his own student!
I just watched your videos about opening traps and I needed one of them just one day later! That series is absolutely great! Keep up the work!
G.M. Ben Is the best!
If you're really into opening traps I recommend Igor Smirnov's Remote Chess Academy
Such a great tribute the Ben's teacher! Well done.
A romantic story at the end even for Valentine's day. Well done.
Is this the guy who taught me the beautiful game of chess at UCSB? Ari!! Great to find you here!!
Kaidanov won the Florida Class Championship in 1990-91 in Orlando. I was there and remember him. IM Igor Ivanov was there as well.
GO BEN!!
but stay there
Spectacular lecture. Go Ben!
One of my favorite Teachers! Go GM Finegold!
"There was a tear in his eye... It wasn't because I listened to him. It was because I was crushing him. Truth hurts" 😂😂
Nice story in the end. Thanks !
That lecture was insanely instructive!
I'm glad ben went on his schpiel at 22:00, this gave me enough time to find the correct move :)
Second game vs Taimanov is beautiful and impressive. Wow.
28:55 They did the dragon ball fusion dance and became Taidanov
Love your videos, Ben. Thank you for the great content.
Great lecture. Thank you.
All three were beasts during there time. Alexander personified class on and off the board. BTW Belgium is an awesome country
You mention he was more known as a strategic player -- would be cool to see more games that emphasize that style
Go Ben, go lectures!

Ben you a legend.
I’m surprised nobody started crying. You always tell me when someone starts to cry, but maybe that’s just your students.
I thought I heard you thank your "blunderful" sponsor and decided that was classic Finegold joke.
:)
"Maintain tension!"
Another great video, TY
Very nice lecture
Great games!
58:59 Hikaru ?
Beautiful thank you
I saw that Vishy game in a puzzle somewhere.
That queensac been a chess dot com puzzle of the day.
@@Evilanious pretty sure that was it. 😂

Does Ben know every GM in the world?
Quality lectures
Gregory Kindenough :D

LETTSSS GOOOOOOO
So the US Chess Championship is different than the US Open Chess Championship? So confused.
Yes. You could think of the first one as the US Closed. Invitation only.
Sometimes the truth doesn’t hurt.
I think the C3 Sicilian is more dynamic for given blacks weak Caro-Kann defense

me with some 'good' comment about zapata-anand!
Taimanov died in 2016.
In a stream once, you claimed you had never played GM Mednis.
Mednis was an IM, not a GM.
The Lion of Kentucky.
Mrs. Kaidanov too stronk pls nerf
But is she too stump?

@8:06 "we're going to do a new Cher" ... please don't!

Go Lauren Benedict! But stay there...

Badly
You could play half court tennis even if you are not fully fit
