    • @dorikaspar2415
      @dorikaspar2415 5 лет назад +3

      reglel It is. Someone once made a joke, where they made a book with the actual title “Cry like a Grandmaster” and sent it to Ben (However, the book wasn’t written by Ben). As far as I know, Ben owns several copies of that book (so you can perhaps ask to borrow a copy if you ever meet him personally). He’s also shown it on his stream several times.

    at 11:29 could black play NxH3? if King moves anywhere play Qxe7, which forces white to recapture. next play PxG3, and if white captures the knight then you take on f2 with the rook behind the pawn, and if king takes pawn then your just up a piece?

      It exists. It's more like a pamphlet than a book, but I do have a signed copy. No, it's not for sale. If you're very very nice to Ben, and make a nice donation to his chess club, there's an off chance that he would send you a copy.

      ultranoodles It’s actually quite easy to guess the correct the computer evaluation of most chess positions if you’re a decent chess players and work with computers a fair amount. Furthermore, Ben has guessed wrong in previous videos, so I’m positive he doesn’t prepare the computer evaluations.

      ultranoodles he most certainly does that for complicated positions and the classes for higher rated players, but I’m willing to bet that he’s genuinely guessing the evaluation of the winning positions in most cases.
