Great to see GM Finegold back lecturing in St. Louis. Hope he stays a while. I always enjoy his lectures here on RUclips. He bring a great sense of humor to the subject. Thanks for posting another fine video and GM Finegold thanks for another fine lecture! keep them coming!!!!
THIS is the lecture that got my SUBScription..! lol I realize now I cannot live without finegold.LOL you really make chess fun bro.. hope my daughter can meet you one day!
Thank you again Mr. Finegold. The more I become a hardworking Chess player and less lazy, the more I appreciate your coaching. Most importantly you taught me something completely completely completely completely new, which will add to my ability to evaluate positions. You taught me that in opposite coloured bishops endings, where the stronger side has 2 pawns to none, it's generally a win if the pawn are far apart, and draw if the pass are close together. When I thought I new everything about endgames.
@7:20 It's actually the same Guinness. The beer company developed and sold a world records book as a conversation piece for coffee tables in order to promote their beer.
BOY was he right about the viewers of the video xD I actually just finished terrible food, had my Sprite Soda drink next to me, leaned back and watched the lecture xD thx for making me feel bad, Ben! .. I mean of course Grandmaster Finegold (proper respect)
8:35 The right pawn could be worth more than a piece. I think your students are smart to not overlook that they are also forking the pawn, but I'm not a GM.
There was a grandmaster, from the romantic era of chess, that said that if the game arrived to an endgame it was because the players played badly, they should have checkmated their opponent in the middlegame!!

if this couch potato would have known about the club being close to wash u and siteman, i would have came by, come to find out that we stayed about 3 blocks away from the club i didn't find this out until i watched the us championship this year otherwise it;s3.5 hrs to get to ST.Louis i would like to visit the museum also
Finegold is entertaining, but I really wish he would try to instruct more than be funny. Half the time he's asking obvious questions to Arjen (a kid) or cracking jokes, the other half he's whizzing through important moves I wish he would slow down and explain. Oh well, no more Ben for me.
Dragan Mijatović he has no humility,,,, thx for correcting me ... sometimes he said "if u guys cant solve this, u should be in beginners breakdown" he talks about beginners like they are too dumb and deserve no respect
He's obviously kidding, but yeah, it gets old. They pay this GM to instruct. Wish he would slow down and explain the "why" of moves instead of whizzing past a series of important moves, and then cracking jokes for 1 minute straight about an obvious knight fork.

I lost 15 kilograms because there were no more Ben lectures to watch.Now that I'm not depressed anymore, finally I feel the need to eat again.

Don't blame me on looking these great lectures from my couch but travelling from Cologne to St Louis is a bit far ;)
Fin(e)ally the King is back.
I've waited way too long for this :>
THIS is the lecture that got my SUBScription..! lol I realize now I cannot live without finegold.LOL you really make chess fun bro.. hope my daughter can meet you one day!
Finegold is the best lecturer!
Ben's awesome as always :D

Great endgame lecture! Finegold is a good teacher and really funny!
Great enthusiasm for the subject ... I hope to see more lectures like this
6:58 Joke's on you Ben, I'm drinking Perrier
Classic Finegold with "c4 is explosive". Glad to have him back.
@7:20 It's actually the same Guinness. The beer company developed and sold a world records book as a conversation piece for coffee tables in order to promote their beer.
Nope.
at last---ben is back
BOY was he right about the viewers of the video xD I actually just finished terrible food, had my Sprite Soda drink next to me, leaned back and watched the lecture xD thx for making me feel bad, Ben! .. I mean of course Grandmaster Finegold (proper respect)
Welcome back Ben!
Finally he has come back to Saint Louis. His videos are awesome sauce!!!!!
6:05 with a pizza on my plate and a beer in my hand, I feel personally attacked.
I would come to the Club, sadly I am 5000 miles away :(
Arjen is killing it ! Bens so funny with him good fun for chess learning
8:35 The right pawn could be worth more than a piece. I think your students are smart to not overlook that they are also forking the pawn, but I'm not a GM.
In late endgame yes, in this position any of the pawns is worth less than a piece
YEEHAWWWWWW FINEGOLD
Entertaining and educational!
Can someone explain the joke at 6:04? I'm curious.
Leelee Phoenix ah... lol! thx. I knew the green with envy expression, but the joke still totally went over my head.
Leelee Phoenix Could u explain the putting an inch one? it's driving me nuts 6:39
What is the chess software used here?
@7:20, I think Guinness World Records originated from Guinness Brewing...
Samuel Wiley en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness_World_Records#History
Is Ronen Har-Zvi ever coming back? He's my absolute favorite.

3:00 OMG a Rush's 2112 joke! Go Ben!
The meek shall inherit the earth is a bible quote that Rush used for their song. Great song though.
@@MedicalNemesis Cool, didn't know that. I guess that's because I never read the bible.
I would love to come to the club and watch your great lecture, however, I live in Florida.
GM Finegold now works in Atlanta, GA
now let's call a random person >>>> julian
and then for the second time
now let's call a random person >>>> julian
fuck yeah first comment! ben finegold is the man, wouldhangoutwith/10 also sad nobody gets his jokes but I do :c
+ItsIrmenli I was wondering that myself! Everytime he told a joke, I would laugh, but the audience seemed silent! Great videos!
16:35...not anymore he wouldn't.
Nice GM Finegold, but don't forget that some of us are a bit far away - like 10 000 km (6200 miles) or so...
That's not a legal reason not to show up, oh wait it's because I can't come for the same reason. -Terrible. I hate when that happens

44:21 wouldnt Nxe4 win?
I am Sean if N×e4 the Q×Q gives black a little advantage
man i'm eating grapes, and drinking water, and I'm miles away. Wish i could be there...
Welcome home, Fabiano
6:43 Ben you are the one who needed to exercise. Not us ./.
After bxe4 nxb qxq nf2 ch also wins but it's probably better to keep queens on the board
Julian became famous all over the word
Arjun is famous too :-)
Trying is the first step to failure. So what do you do? Never try!!!
27:09 I DID NOT!!!!
I was eating fried chicken with mushroom rice and 7up.... Ben saw that coming...
8:00 benihana
1:00:00
6:41 hahahaha! Benji is hilarious!
Hey.........Hey.............I resemble that remark : )
Yay!
C4 is explosive LOL
Actually the king and rook pawn would probably win in that position. Lisa would say never mind
Berlin is actually closer to France than Italy
A4 was the right move though, or rook d5.
Purple!
Mr Finegold I think you have a very recurrent fanbase so we get used to your references and jokes, you should somehow enlarge your repertoire
Funniest GM!
"These pawns are" terrible
Jonah Hill?
Akaakaaka ak No it's his father
if this couch potato would have known about the club being close to wash u and siteman, i would have came by, come to find out that we stayed about 3 blocks away
from the club i didn't find this out until i watched the us championship this year otherwise it;s3.5 hrs to get to ST.Louis i would like to visit the museum also
+ Your classes cost like 200 or 300 dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
knife f5! lol
******* Ben I live to far from saint Louis ): HAH I win😊
Whatever, I’m eating Waffle House on the couch with barely sweetened coffee watching this
Too many jokes. Constantly stopping to tell a joke. It adds time.
yeah, too bad b/c he has all that GM knowledge and he's just cracking wise. Wish he'd slow down and try to instruct more.
Finegold is entertaining, but I really wish he would try to instruct more than be funny. Half the time he's asking obvious questions to Arjen (a kid) or cracking jokes, the other half he's whizzing through important moves I wish he would slow down and explain. Oh well, no more Ben for me.
i dont like this guy,
Very interesting !
Dragan Mijatović he have not humility
Has. Yes, but he is very instructive and he is just kidding, he isn't that arrogant.
Dragan Mijatović he has no humility,,,, thx for correcting me ... sometimes he said "if u guys cant solve this, u should be in beginners breakdown" he talks about beginners like they are too dumb and deserve no respect
Those are just jokes, and he's working on those "beginners" but ya, sometimes even I don't like that approach.
The endless self praising get a little tiring.
Guy is padding him self on the back, one form or another, in almost EVERY sentence. Yuck........
He's obviously kidding, but yeah, it gets old. They pay this GM to instruct. Wish he would slow down and explain the "why" of moves instead of whizzing past a series of important moves, and then cracking jokes for 1 minute straight about an obvious knight fork.
