"If all your moves are bad, you might lose." - Ben Finegold in 2017
45 minutes of GM Ben Finegold, let me just get my popcorn ready.
Popcorn is toxic eat raw meat and ppey chess
"Julian, give the right answer, please" thats a new rule
Ben: "let me call on a random student" Me: "ARJUN!!!!" Ben: "Julian" Me: ahhhhh too bad
terrible
Rawr!!!
Ben is so awesome to listen. Great storyteller, makes learning chess much interesting.
I was leaving the office when i saw there was a new video of Ben Finegold,.. I left the office 1 hour later... terrible!
I saw this guy 🙂 in Brussels in the nineties. He was an IM. He played 1' (for him)-5' (the other player) blitz games against player 2200-2300 fide rated (good Belgian chess players).
I remember that he systematically played moves like 1e3 or 1d3, unorthodox moves (with white and black), so that there was no theory at all. He won game after game...! I was impressed by his facility to win so easily.
Watching this again after 3 year! Phenomenal lesson!
Absolutely outstanding. Took a break from Glenn Flear's "Starting Out: Pawn Openings" textbook to watch this and I'm glad I did. Thanks for another great king-and-pawn endgame lecture. More endgame lectures are always welcome!
I'm a simple man. I see a Finegold video, I like.
I'm a simple man. I see a "I'm a simple man. I see a Finegold video, I like." comment, I like.
More Finegold? You know how to treat us right Ben Simon
Me realizing I have access to 100s of hours of ben finegold on RUclips
Happiness noises
Me realizing I'm finishing all these videos faster than expected
4 mins of chess, 42 mins of interesting chess history
How did he get so old in 3 years
The legend, the GM, the savage, Ben Finegold
😂😇
Love endgame studies, love Ben
To the dudes saying they don't like Finegold - he's like the only reason I'm on youtube and I get butterflies every time there's a new video. Your indolence is inefficacious.
butterflies LMFAO
inefficacious and suspicious...
Great lecture. This is a great companion to Silman's complete ending book. I recommend reading the book first as Ben goes fast through this examples and doesn't finish all the moves.
We love you Ben!
Ben's hairline looking very suspicious.
Your favorite Sicilian isn't pizza, I guess?
He needs to put it in H.
Sus
9:08 coz when i teach, i give all the information
🙏🙏 Thank you so much Mr. Ben
Ben is a legend 😍
Black is not as dumb as I look? It's an honor to be insulted by GM Finegold
if i lived close by id go to all of his talks
GM Finegold you're the best chess teacher.
Can you please show us how to play pawn less endgames, where one side has a mating material but its difficult to win. E.g Queen+King vs Rook+King, Rook+Bishop+King vs Rook+King, Knight+Bishop+King vs King, ...etc. I've had all these endings several times on my games but I only drew when I was the offensive side and quickly loss when I was on on defensive side.
Ridics R+B+K vs R+K is theoretical draw not mating material
But I have been checkmated several times by the R+B+K vs my R+K, maybe its because I dont know the correct defense but either way, that ending is not just an auto draw. I've even seen GM Hikaru beating GM Grischuk on that exact endgame in Norway chess 2017.
R+B+K vs R+K is not a draw, check out this game : chess-db.com/public/game.jsp?id=4126025.2016192.21771264.29700
Ridics I know the side with only the rook often looses but it's still a theoretical draw.
Ben, I found the solution to the puzzle that Hikaru Nakamura couldn't solve - can I have my GM title now please?
so did I, but just because i realized that Dvoretsky's manual discusses the same position a move after the one presented by Ben!
Yay, some Finegold!... Yay, pawn endgames!!
"there's 6 people at home watching"
*immediately downloads seven piece tablebase app
was this really recorded on the 20th of june? i'm asking bc then 25:30 would be even funnier (naka vs mamedyarov)
great video!
"you showed up confused" LOL
Ben, of course there are some other sports in which people can resign (kind of): boxing for example! When the guy is visibly badly hurt but not K.O yet, he can choose not to come back for the next round, or his coach throws the towel etc. i.e. no need for him to stay in the ring and get punched to death! love from Luxembourg near Belgium :)
I thought all of Lux was near Belgium :->
I like this guy, he's cracked me up a couple of times so far 😂
All chess players who want to get more points should have a good book on basic chess endings, (or instructional CD on basic chess endings).
15:05, I was only able to solve the problem on the first try with in minutes because I solved almost the exact same one except for the fact hxg5+ was already played. This is a good theoretical endgame to know and the book I solved it in was "Bruce Pandolfini's Endgame Handbook" where he explains all of the basic and semi-advanced theoretical endgames.
YES he's an actual chess coach not just a consultant for The Queen's Gambit. He even coached 2018 World Championship Challenger Fabiano Caruana when he was a kid
Hey, you should have asked Arjun!
I was expecting something else when he reached to his back at the start haha
What app do You use for those presentations?
Julian the student of the year😂😂😂
You've got to give your paaaaaawns awaaaaaaay
On the last game on the video, can't white triangulate e5..., e4..., then f5 to gain opposition and keep his f6 pawn for an easier win? By the way, I used to be active in chess a very long time ago and have just started getting back into it again after retirement. I started watching your videos, so sorry about the very late post. You have always been one of my irreverant favorites. :-)
b4 is one move away from not drawing. x1. ka1 ke7 x2. kxa3 kd6 x3. pawn anywhere is draw and king anywhere gives black the opposition because you don't have time to get 2 squares ahead. I paused before/if there is an answer to this. Just my thought. took me about 4/5 minutes. I am super slow lately. Love the puzzles btw. been trying to force these situations in 1 mins games by sacking to eternity but trying to end in one of the puzzles I know because of this now.
is the st. louis chess club theme song available on Apple Music ?
Who is Julian? He talks about him in every video
Awesome
'With the pawn on a2, white is winning. Chess is hard.'
Lol pulls out his ID to remember his name but remembers the title of GM 😂
For the second one, he complains about people resigning and not showing the full process and then proceeds to only show the winning move and not the full process.
You should take your own advise and play it out to checkmate.
This video is Solid.
For additional comments I'll take..... ARJUN!
16:00 after hxg5 then i figured out this position was from endgame manual wait, Oh! Its from The Book "You must know 100 endgames"
7:12 Aviv Friedman, FST? What does that stand for?
19:10 "black is not as dumb as you look" LMAO
8.30 How did the kings get on each others sides?
Hi Ben
Your always funny.
MAESTROO
27:50 we need to reverse this position and it comes from endgame manual
isn't this a repost of a previous video?
The only thing I don't like about Ben's lectures in general is, when he sells him self short. Yeah, he may not be a "super GM", but he is still a great player, an excellent lecturer and one incredibly funny dude.
39:12 Why not triangle Ke5 forcing black king to go 8 rank, then Ke4 and back to f5? Black to move and next white king to G6?
After Ke5, Kf8; Ke4 .. black can choose to not go Kf7 and instead go Ke8 or possibly Kg8(I haven't calculated this one). Then after Kf5 black have Kf7, both Black and white make a triangle and it's back to the position before Ke5, and still white to move.

Because I said so.
hikaru didnt solve the puzzle cause did find his horse.
At 31:47 instead of ...Ke7 couldn't black just have played ...a3 giving his pawn away the black king can reach the b6 square to draw
who is can west ?
12:40 again with the "whom" :/ no sentence that uses "whom" is correct!
I'm 12 years old and my rating is 1300. Earlier today, my dad, rated 2200, let me play a game on his account. I won.
Just curious, what is your rating now?
15:35 savage
I agree that resignations shouldn't be allowed.
17:15 BLACK CANT WIN, NEVER MOVE YOUR F-PAWNS
ah ben finegold, literally the god of chess comedy, (except Jon Federowicz)
Poor Ken West... XD
I never resign
Gru! I mean...
“Trying is the first step to failure… Truth hurts!” --Ben Finegold (only SLIGHTLY modified by me/combining two of Ben’s statements) …if you don’t think Ben is funny then comedy is subjective, unless it’s not! (((((TOLAH‼️)))))
((((toot out loud and holler! .((((🐘💥💨))))
(((((((🤣SMH😂)))))))
29:59 how about B4
wait never mind
8:00 Kg5 wins. :)
Name the video me and my funny stories instead....
Ben Finegold is such a great chess lecturer if he stopped making awkward jokes people wouldn't hate him so much
Well, his jokes don't strike me as awkward.
His jokes are what makes him so good tho
Lol I have the same wallet
wait how is the position at 5:06 not a complete win for white?
I don't understand this opposition stuff. Can't you move you king back and just push the pawn with the king guarding it?
You can push it one square in front of your king, but you can't guard it while pushing it up the second square in front if black keeps the king behind the pawn.
33:10 damn funny
I'd say this is 75% shtick, 25% chess.
33:15

I'm watching this on a smartphone with a low rate connection, and my ISP seems to have huge problems to get the ugly fart on the left-hand side through the air. Can't they show just the board? Also, an audience-friendly audio would be nice too.
This is guy is so wierd
189th
New Finegold? Terrible.
Kanye West would draw all the time...if he was white 🙃
He said Ken West not kanye west
first
I think there is value in what you do in this video. but some of your side comments are just arrogant and borderline cockiness and just made me switch off from the video.
90% time he is talking trash, instead of teaching ..Wonder how he still has students !
go cry about it. this is the best way of teaching.
I am so siked. another Ben video. TERRIBLE.
80% USELESS BLA BLA SO DISGUSTING AND MOST OF THE TIME I CAN'T CONCENTRATE AND LOOSE MY INTEREST
It is hard to know what is going on with all the unnecessary BS.
too much speaking please hit the point.
Ben Finegold should stick to chess. His political commentary is uninformed and out of place.
SonofNewo lmao
If Ben wants to make political commentary, he should clear it with the donors to the STL Chess Club, which pays his salary, first.
You should stick to chess, maybe not even to that.
You should stick to chess. Your political commentary is uninformed and out of place.
