Remember, winning a queen is better than checkmate because of the psychological impact on your opponent for future games.

Thanks Stalin

"The better you play, the more people will have heard of you."
No wonder Ken West is so good at the game.

"There's no defense to that. But he still defended it! He resigned. That stopped it!"
been watching Ben's lectures for like 10 years and these jokes never get old

Me: It's probably a chair moving.
After hearing it: that's a wet chair.

[@12jswilson]

Instructions unclear. I played Qg3, hanging it 3 different ways, but my opponent didn't resign and just took it and then I lost.

Always checkmate. Expect for when you play Ben.

"So I moved every move instantly and on move 23 I had used like 10 seconds and he had a minute left..... and then I had to pick him up at 3:30 because I took him to school."

Ben reminds of a great teacher I had, who always through silverware at me.... the fork hurts!
You're a great teacher, but I'm surprised your P.O. lets you work with kids (confusing the audience face).

[@JeffNYChess]

He is a great teacher, I have used his videos to teach my students. Someone recently told me his videos are fake and scripted, and he is a fake GM. He is definitely doing something right since he has haters. He is definitely a real GM and as far as I can tell, there is nothing scripted about his games.

[@charlesoconnor219]

@@JeffNYChess No fake teachers would continually make jokes that confuse his audience of 8 year olds!

[@wlycdgrLuckyThanQuick]

​@@JeffNYChess Ben is most definitely a real GM. Any sceptics can just look him up on the official FIDE site
