"This is called the 'Evans Gambit,' named after your favorite grandmaster, Mr. Gambit." That made me laugh so hard
Same :)) Ben is funny as hell
Thanks Ben, my rating used to be under 1400 but then i watched this lecture. Now I can proudly tell people my rating is over 500 instead.
Sounds like a lot less than 1400 people in the class
Well it is the Under 1400 class.
There was 1395
I watch so many of these lectures that I always get the opening jingle stuck in my head 🤣
I'm pretty sure it's the same one that the St. Louis club used to use. They might still, I haven't watched any of their videos lately.
Same here
At least it’s an opening
same hahaha I love Ben, his lectures and his humor. What a guy!
I need an under 900 class😂 thanks Ben!
There are u1000 classes floating around if you look for them. Probably on the old ccscatl channel.
I agree. Do u like ice cream
The GM is so good he has trained his students to tell his jokes for him.
Ben wants us to be quick-witted, but I’m over here just trying to be witted
These lectures never get old
but I do
i play a lot of casual games with my friend and i like to jokingly complain when we play the main lines of the ruy lopez or giuoco piano (which is often) - now i'm going to say, "no don't play that move, then everybody falls asleep, then we quit chess and play snooker"😂
i love hearing a little kid answering after he’s talking about my elo level 😂
@12:14 "There's no grandmaster games in this position." Close. I found one: Anton Filippov vs. Erwin L'Ami at the 2014 Olympiad in Tromso. But that's great off the cuff knowledge by Finegold.
I was not expecting a Claude Shannon joke halfway into this.
I read this game in the art of the attack. And I couldn't figure out why whites back rank wasn't a weakness. Thanks for the explanation gm ben.
His point on openings and memory is exactly what Fischer was complaining when he retired. And he was absolutely right, as Ben is. It's a memory and preparation contest, not a mind contest. Sadly chess must evolve or we will have just a bot competition mimicked by humans in the future.
32:15 I was eating, indeed. But I have finished it off.
Pure Leaf Sweet Tea is delicious, good choice Ben of the Past

I get the Steve Davis reference. Go me.
Just a Fluke 😂
I knew Morphy was good, but Ng3 in a blindfolded simul? Holy moly.
So in the g5 knight attack of the Italian game two pretty solid options just because they’re hard to respond to if you don’t know them and a lot of times people over 12 or 1300 just play Bc5, and the folks who play the knight attack play it every single time they see Nf6
1st The Ulvestad variation: d5 exd5, b5. The only move to maintain advantage for white is Bf1 completely undeveloping the bishop, you will rarely see this move. If b Bb3 Nd4, and trying to tuck the bishop away because it can’t move; makes their position even worse. If instead bishop takes b5 you take back forking the bishop and g pawn with a potential fork on the rook and knight. They usually exchange the knight for the bishop. On the next move you take the bishop back. They generally castle and you play Bb7. You will win some games because they develop their knight or play d3/d4. Qf3 is their only move(and not the most popular move)to hold advantage, learn the possible lines resulting from this position, f3 is most popular move(just gives you Bc5+) and Nf3, every single other move is an on the spot easy win.
The other option is the Polerio defense. After d5 exd5 you play Na5, Bb5 check like the Ulvestad is the only move to hold onto an advantage. Now the best move is c6, it is an only move situation for white again but it’s super obvious dxc6, so I recommend rather than c6 to play Bd7, which is a bit of a mistake(and a very playable one). But only if white finds Qe2, they almost always play Bxd7, twice as often as Qe2. You’re gonna take with your queen and pretty much no matter what they play you’re gonna win the pawn on d5, complete development and castle before your opponent.
Surely this is pure gold.. Finegold! and don't call me Shirley
23:19 😂
Hikaru Nakamura's sportsmanship award!
It was definitely an IBM fantastic finish by Morphy. WOW. WOW 🏀🏀🏀🏀
Oh man, the Airplane reference got me
How about f6 instead of Be7 retreat then has the time to castle. Love that movie vector Victor! Captain Over, huh ?
I read the mentioned chess book as a kid
I wonder if u prepped all of your jokes into the lecture! b4 what ?? Very entertaining and useful, thanks :D subbed
Awesome video Ben!! As a beginner i find it hard to know how to prepare.
It would be cool to see a video on how to prepare for tournaments and what your prep process looks like. (Do you use chessbase? Do you have a journal? Etc...)
do an under 400 class
great lecture
poor raj at the end hahaha
interesting point - people that have witnessed events / players from two different eras are most qualified to assess their skill and nature
Does anyone have a link to the Fabiano Caruana interview he mentioned? I want to watch that. Great lecture as always. Also, the jokes were top notch!
27:09 Wasn’t Lasker champion for 27 years, not Steinitz?
Poor Trudy 🥲🤣
Morphy was a genius!
d4 d6 is kings gambit sstarting mov.
You're the best!
Yes mint chocolate chip ice cream is the best 😊
When "they" invented chess960. ... aka Fischerandom.
Invented by Mr. 960
Too Bad its an old recording ^^
"Trump fired General Principles"
Actually he took them and he was caught
5:59 ....of course Ben is yet another domesticated dork.
