Verber was a man of action
I remember Richard from when I was just starting out as an unrated player in 60's Chicago. He was one of the strongest masters in Chicago and highly respected both as a player and an organiser
As our friend said, you should also have a series, Forgotten great players of the past, and this is a very good fit,I think most of the viewers are hearing about Richard Veber for the first time
how about a "forgotten, but not gone" series? a la on cinema at the cinema
He did that for a little while; I forget the exact name of the series was. I remember he did a few names from the early 20th century. I don't think it was a 45 min lecture but something like 5-15 per person.
@@vigilante8374 FORGOTTEN but NOT GONE
@@callenkoester9078 What? You do realize that this guy is both forgotten *and* gone, right?
Also, are you actually assuming people are immediately familiar with a random year-old RUclips video, in an unrelated genre, that literally has under 5,000 views?
(Also, what's the opposite of "Is this the story of Johnny Rotten?")
@@vigilante8374 it's a funny bit mate
Thank you for this. I am a Chicagoan who starting playing in tournaments after the 1972 world championship. I knew Verber as an organizer and tournament director. He was a very strong player, rated 2490, one of the highest ratings in the country at the time. A very sad story.
“Richard Verber is dead” - headlines don’t come more blunt than that.
I wish I had the fuck it attitude chess man has.

@@CorneliuZeleaCodreanu9 Hey, thanks!
Truth hurts
Will there ever be more videos about forgotten players? I loved that series. Go Ben!
Except for one thing ,stay there!
Thank you, Ben! This was super nostalgic for those of us who were a part of the generation that benefitted from his enthusiasm and love of the game. He was a great teacher and a killer blitz player. RIP.
Come for the chess, stay for the anecdotes.
daaamn, two finegold great players lectures in one day -- is it christmas?!
The intro reminded the greatest chess player ever in his bed, GM Ken West. You should do a video on his games
you should sponsor it! all of these are sponsored lectures :)
@@aarongifsCan I sponsor it with my cat?
Your ", who you've never heard of" line is usually is not true for me. But it's sure true this time.
I played in a tournament Verber organized. I was a slender teenage male at the time. My friend, similar age but who had been playing chess his whole life, warned me not to be alone with Verber. Modern language might call it a gay me-too warning. That's the only time anyone warned me about any chess person.
That's not the type of anecdote you typically hear about forgotten chess players, but it sure is illuminating. Thank you for your comment
A teenager who had been playing chess "his whole life"? Looks a weird way of putting things. Not to take away from the main story, but...
@@dionlindsay2 But what?
@@aarons3014 Sorry - I thought it was clear enough. "Not to take away from the main story, but "a teenager who had been playing chess "his whole life" ' looks a weird way of putting things".
You're the best, Ben !
Compelling lecture, Ben.
I need somebody to fix my Engine. I always sack the exchange and it always gives me double question marks.
Watching this great lecture, I think to myself maybe we should more often go over games where strong masters beat decent club players. Watching two super GMs play doesn't really help us outplay and eventually beat players at our level.
I have 3 different types of thoughts when i see new "Great Players of the Past" video
1. Ofc he's great, every kid knows that
2. Nah, this dude was nothing special
3. Who?
No Wikipedia for Richard Verber?!?
not even i have heard of this guy
What happens in the end position of the first game if white continues by playing Ktc3?
Verber ate Buerger
Verber was a master at weirding language.
Is that Verber in the thumbnail or à younger Ben? Some facial resemblance there? 🤔
Man, it seems everybody is a "great" player nowadays :-P
I get the feeling even I can feature in one of these if I just pay for it
was this shot after you figured out a medication was making you ill? one can really see a difference in your energy. You seem more like your ‘old’ self here, confusing the audience
I get super annoyed by Ben's occasional politicking, but I understand also that he has a right to speak on his opinions if he feels the need. What I don't understand is how Ben Finegold still only has 138k subs. That's just shameful.
Quality is something only few appreciate.
