    Have to admit I have really changed my mind about Ben. At first I thought he was a bit obnoxious/rude but now I realise it's just his way, it's quite endearing

    There are some players in the U.S. - like GM Finegold, who would certainly have been a FORCE in world chess if there were more strong tournaments here which are easier to attend. In Europe, youths have many opportunities. In the U.S., unless your family is fairly wealthy and really committed to travel, etc., you have fewer opportunities for frequent strong competition, not to mention gaining norms. Finegold has been a very strong player for a long time, with some beautiful games on record.

    I was doing opening preparation in the French defense today with stockfish and a database and I saw a game from 2007 that went like 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Bb4 5.e5 Nf4? 6.Bd2??? And I think both players were rated over 2300 so I assumed they saw some genius tactic that made that all make sense so I thought maybe I could play that line and noone would know it since it's only been played once and everyone would fall for whatever weird tricks were there so I put it on stockfish and stockfish said bishop takes queen is like +9.5 and the tournament wasn't blindfold or speed chess
