He's right though...like STFU and be grateful they are sharing their knowledge to the masses. Why are there so many grandmasters these days? Because they mentor these kids now and all the information is available to the masses. Back in the day, you didn't get to learn from a GM until you were close to a GM in the first place and gained some manner of respect...if you were lucky.
To many, chess seems so boring and mentally exhausting. But GM Ben Finegold turns any chess topic into a pleasure to watch and understand. Heck, he could even talk about the blankness of a paper sheet and I'd still listen to his whole lecture.
After watching this as an adult novice, I'm realizing that I should probably watch nothing but chess videos intended for children for at least a few months. It's really helpful when someone talks down to me, I learn more. And I'd rather learn the why than the where.
Congratulations John Hammer, you have won the 2016 award for Master of the Obvious. Good luck defending this title in 2017, something tells me you will be fine. We're all rooting for you pal.
@@ollie7070 I was playing against a 1600 something blitz player on Lichess who fell for that trap, so I asked him if he was new to the French defense. He or she was. 1300 Lichess players fall for it quite often, but a few hundred points later they don't normally give their queen away for nothing before move 10
I am on a quest to watch all of GM Finegold's videos, as I think he's not only a great player but also an amazing teacher. I have to say, though...throughout these videos, I've heard him reference Eminem, TI, Linda Ronstandt, REM, Chaka Kahn, Bob Seger, Blackstreet and Barney. That's an amazingly eclectic variety of musicians, and my respect continues to grow. Edit: Posted too early, video wasn't over. Also on the list: Common
Ben you are such a good chesspalyer and also teacher. Please start to take care of yourself, among other signals of a weakening health is you have to scream when talking because of the lack of space for the diaphragm and lungs. Would be great to be able to see you for many many years to come. Love from Sweden.
Trying to go from intermediate to expert, finding new things to learn, re learning old stuff, but then I find you, and this class, I find it very depressing I didn't have a coach as a kid, I could be so much more. Anyways loved the commentary and explanation, keep it up !
Even if this video was recorded during a class given to kids, GM Finegold is able to explain also something interesting to those who already play the French. For example the Alekhine push of h4. Great teacher!
This guy is genius 😂😂... He has literally said "no talking" a hundred times in this video without getting intimidated at those naughty and shrewd Kids hahaha.. BTW very nice video of chess
Hi u guys, i need your help: Which GM is he mentioning who is ALWAYS playing the french? I understand "Ian Sherman" but cant find that guys anywhere haha Thx in advance, would really help me out
The main reason I started using and continued to use the French defense is because of my low rating Players my rating love to always try the form of checkmate 80% of the time. The blockade of the f7-e6 Pawn chain prevents the light square bishop Bishop which is usually placed on the Queen Side from helping the Queen in the quick checkmate tactics The second reason I like playing it is it further amplifies the first reason is it kills the Fried Liver attacks which are such a drag to defend.
I used to play sicilian a lot. Untill i study some French. Its hard to pick a opening for e4 if you are not interessed in drawing. Also, thanks Ben Simon for Donald this Hillary-ous editing. lol
White has more development, white's castled, black's gonna make some more queen moves and black's up a pawn. Some of you might wanna be a pawn ahead, and some of you might wanna have the attack. That's why people argue. It's not that one is true, they're both true. That's why chess is difficult. I love this so much.
10:32 Ben underestimated his kids class :D The kid was saying that after black goes bd7, white can take the bishop with tempo before grabbing the queen....
Fact check: The French defense was indeed recognized as such in a correspondence game, but it was in 1834, not quite 100 years before the development of the very first Telex networks. Even telegraph was in the infantile stages then.
Wow Ben, you have the patience of a saint with those kids. Congratulation Sir, your 'crowd control' skills are (in the parlance of today's youth I'm lead to understand) 'on point!'
Ben's the best with the children. these children in particular were annoying. please kick them out so that they dont upset our dear ben, causing him undue stress and god forbid lead to us not getting more finegold vids
The best way to beat the French Defense is to go through Belgium.
Nabium twice
It only worked the second time tho
The fault lie with belgium. They flat out refused any serious defense on their border;)
How do you defend France? Nobody knows, because nobody has ever seriously tried it....
@@OtterSC2 It only failed the first time because the opponent _somehow_ managed to play the English opening as well.
"No talking unless you raise your hand. We have security here." That's gold, fine gold.
10:02 "Raise your hand if you want to say something. Don't raise your hand"
we have security over here xΔ
Best long-form euphemism for "shut up"
Grumpy rol y poly master
Strong play
Classic Finegold
no talking
He should consider living by his own rules.
Who is the quietest?

he literally said this as I was reading this comment
i love watching ben finegold yell at little kids, never change

Shhhhhhhh..!!! No talking

Absolutely...basically I'm a 40 year old 8 year old
Also, you get more of his jokes than the kids do.
This video made me realise the same thing!
Who else agrees that this guy's jokes are amazing.
Some may say its comedy gold, but i say its finegold
Yep he is really funny but someeeetimes he is a little narcissistic and arrogant.
Ivo Sirakov yup
@@ivosirakov1278 welp this probably comes with being a chess player and grandmaster ._.
@ Terriible!
Wow Ben you really held your own against Bobby Fischer despite being -6 years old at the time
Congratulations John Hammer, you have won the 2016 award for Master of the Obvious. Good luck defending this title in 2017, something tells me you will be fine. We're all rooting for you pal.

nope it was you, sorry

Ben did pretty well considering he was still in the nut sacc
Hockey Life 2020 and Mr. John Hammer still owns the master of the obvious title
"a6" "no talking" "a6 is correct, good talking" 😂😂
"a6" "Good.. no talking" "a6 is correct, good talking"
I was just about to comment this 😂
and the continuation: "Raise your hand if you want to say something - don'T raise your hand"
I see a drinking game... a shot everytime Ben tells the kids to shut up or be quiet...
lol
I'm drunk.
Doing this rn omglol. Great one
I am pretty sure that that's a leathal dose
He has many, like rarh.
5:56
"You can do whatever you want, okay, TI style, right?"
Kid: "What?"
"Exactly."
😂🤣😂🤣😂😜😜😭😭😭🤓🤓
"You didn't get that joke, why are you laughing?" - :D
@29:50... the Tarrasch Variation was named after Mr Variation
If you don't like that move, you can throw it in the Tarrasch can
@@vasishta1882 or you can play Caro can
i love that he engages them in conversation then goes "shh no talking"
8:50 no talking... A6 is correct.. Good talking lol best call ever
10:00 very sharp kid to see that queen kill that fast
its been 2 years and yet, i saw it insantly
@@ollie7070 I was playing against a 1600 something blitz player on Lichess who fell for that trap, so I asked him if he was new to the French defense. He or she was. 1300 Lichess players fall for it quite often, but a few hundred points later they don't normally give their queen away for nothing before move 10
Im pretty sure he didn't calculate that, it is a known trap
I'm not learning much chess Ben, but I am gathering material for my stand-up job...they never let me sit down.
I am on a quest to watch all of GM Finegold's videos, as I think he's not only a great player but also an amazing teacher. I have to say, though...throughout these videos, I've heard him reference Eminem, TI, Linda Ronstandt, REM, Chaka Kahn, Bob Seger, Blackstreet and Barney.
That's an amazingly eclectic variety of musicians, and my respect continues to grow.
Edit: Posted too early, video wasn't over. Also on the list: Common
Ben Finegold, if you ever read these comments, that presentation was amazing! Informative and hilarious! Thank you!
5:48 I lost it lmao
“You can do whatever you what, T.I. style!”
“What?”
“Exactly”
How can you not love this guy
Loool it's whatever you like but what a reference ahahaha
"Just like Donal..." Wait, what does Donald Sutherland have to do with chess? And why did they edit his name out?
Donald Trump
Knows only one thing and says it over and over again.
Got it?
Not really, I could refute that quickly.
Cake I T' S A J O K E
Dragan Mijatovic doesn’t understand sarcasm or humor apparently
He was gonna say Donald Rumsfeld and they thought that was too political :-)
Everytime i watch Ben's lectures i laugh, his quick wit and sarcasm are pretty epic.
"Don't talk unless you raise your hands.. we do have security here" haha.. intimidating the kids 😀
"If you don't like that move, you can throw it in the Tarrasch can. Or you can put it in the Caro-Kann."
Pure poetry. 😂💊
Yes!!!
You know you've been watching too much Ben Finegold when you wake up with the Chess Club of STL theme music stuck in your head
LMAO . . . Did Ben threaten the lil kids w security ?
That was the best part
I will threaten the kid with jumper cable.
It's just a joke, dude.
That's called the Finegold defense. Named after mister Defense.
Cheers to the kid who booed when told to not talk... lol. Jokes aside, I really appreciate Ben Finegold, I really need this.
You’re giving these kids a lesson on the best opening ever❤ 😊
Oh my god more finegold. must be my birthday. :)
Jonatha
Jonathan Marin that what his coke dealer says too
Or... if it is you at home King to d7. Lol, lol, lol.
The only sensible move
Of course they resing, getting the control of A8 in the opening is a huge andvantage, theres good and there´s no good, King to d7 is good.
ben simon left in "just like dona..." bless you ben simon.
ben simon for president. make america great again!
it's already great, but okay.
Make 1. e4 e5 great again!
AwesomepianoTURTLES Roy Lopez is the most common opening I see.
Everyone talk about Gotham Chess, but I think Ben's explanations are way better
"If you do t like that you can throw it in the kerocan"
"It's kero KAHN"
"But that's not funny"
"Free content from GMs, there's nothing you can do but complain all the time"
Trueee
Ben you are such a good chesspalyer and also teacher. Please start to take care of yourself, among other signals of a weakening health is you have to scream when talking because of the lack of space for the diaphragm and lungs. Would be great to be able to see you for many many years to come.
Love from Sweden.
probably from posture.
Trying to go from intermediate to expert, finding new things to learn, re learning old stuff, but then I find you, and this class, I find it very depressing I didn't have a coach as a kid, I could be so much more.
Anyways loved the commentary and explanation, keep it up !
I'm not a kid, but I am stupid, so this was great.
“I was in this position once, yes, in 1982 against bob. It was a beautiful sunny summer day.” -Every chess teacher ever
Even if this video was recorded during a class given to kids, GM Finegold is able to explain also something interesting to those who already play the French. For example the Alekhine push of h4. Great teacher!
"Or if its the 1 o clock class you can attack the pawn (with the bishop)" hahahaha that was gold
Prepared for a French with the obvious opening: the queens gambit declined Chigorin variation right?
um what?
LOL
Ben said that in a lecture XDD
Or as Mike Kummer would call it e4 e5.
"Alright. Very good. Okay, who's the quietest?"
Thank you Mr. Finegold for sharing your vast knowledge and for having a sense of humor.

We want an hour lecture
I dont even play chess, its just relaxing to watch this videos
11:50 Wow, saved it at the last minute Ben Simon, GJ! Now I'm just imagining Ben doing this in every lecture just to give you some work to do, lol.
25:50 You tried, and you failed miserably. The Lesson? Never try.
That one kid will not shut up.
I know, throw him out. For all of his bluster Ben is actually too nice.
Engaged, funny, passionate teacher, if not a little condescending at times. Something to be aware of Ben.
Appliance Paul very suspicious
The truth hurts
No talking
i think he hates kids lol
Honesty is more valuable than your feelings. This is why you aren't a grand master
He always says that people just complain but every time I glance at the comments it's always like "OMG Finegold is back ... my life is complete!!"
Ben is a saint to teach these kids and to such a wonderful job.
Fuck... I wanted to watch this, but it's not 2 o'clock
It's ok Chang. It's 2 o clock somewhere.
wowmegoguik Very suspicious.
No talking unless you raise your hand -- And don''t raise your hand. LOL
I love how Ben asks a question, the kids try to answer and he tells them “**No talking!**”.
This guy is genius 😂😂... He has literally said "no talking" a hundred times in this video without getting intimidated at those naughty and shrewd Kids hahaha.. BTW very nice video of chess
Holy shit thats the most interruptions in your videos ever. Eh, at least they're interested in chess.
Best teacher for me. Very funny and usefull classes.
Oh and I used the Telex a lot while was a apprentice in a bank around 91, 92.
Hi u guys, i need your help: Which GM is he mentioning who is ALWAYS playing the french? I understand "Ian Sherman" but cant find that guys anywhere haha Thx in advance, would really help me out
It's Yury Shulman
The main reason I started using and continued to use the French defense is because of my low rating

amazing content....th kids r lucky to get him to teach.......
Very soffisticated review of french defense. I love it!
18:40 why are they muting out the word Trump?

They are censoring his voice!!!!

you're the greatest Ben
Excellent and funny editing, Ben Simon!
Is there a beginners French defense class for adults?
if there is i wouldn't want to see it. this one is perfect.
The best defense in chess is..."SHHHH!!!! NO, TALKING!!!" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 "BISHOP, D7? WHERE'D YOU HEAR THAT FROM?!?!?!"

"You can do whatever you want, T.I. style." Bens references are so fucking on point, like damn!
No talking. Unless you raise your hand. Don't raise your hand.

As a simple chess amateur I never knew there were chess schools with kids learning the game, this is one of the most adorable thing I've ever seen!
10:32 Ben underestimated his kids class :D The kid was saying that after black goes bd7, white can take the bishop with tempo before grabbing the queen....

Did you raise your hand? No commenting.
I seem to remember someone saying the video would be edited from 30 minutes to 5 minutes
I love this guy.
Fact check: The French defense was indeed recognized as such in a correspondence game, but it was in 1834, not quite 100 years before the development of the very first Telex networks. Even telegraph was in the infantile stages then.
Only edit Ben Finegold when he tells us not to complain about the editing.
