Wow that mate was filthy. And now he has a Ben video to commemorate it

[@zacharysherry2910]

That wasn't luck Ben. Bravo 👌.

5 Minutes with GM Ben Finegold: Sōta Fujii vs Takumi Itō (2024) // (I want to believe)

...who?

[@mikeykelsey2558]

Would be fun to see him talk shogi lol

[@yotoober1]

All well and good but at the end I don't know, a smothered knight checkmate?? 🤔 WAS that calculated after W Q-d2???
You already know... "specious, verrrrrrry species, silicon species..."

[@josephroxursox]

I agree, very suspicious from a 1494 level player. The only way I can see a 1494 doing this is if they mostly only play puzzles all day.

[@mario97br]

Luck, it was in the position and he saw it. Check check mate…

[@thundermill7109]

Every move was check. It ain’t too suspicious.

[@yotoober1]

SET the position up after Q-d2 and see how many 1500 rated players force checkmate.

[@josephroxursox]

@@thundermill7109 1494's don't see that many moves ahead, especially if one of them is saccing your queen at the very end of the calculation.

Vote Kramnik. Except for one thing...
