I am not a great chess player but I’ve learned so much from GM Finegold’s videos. Not only that, I am constantly cracking up at his jokes. These videos are works of art. I literally spit the water I was drinking out from laughter at the “Mr. Gambit” comment and then had to stop the video because I was laughing so hard at the “correct if he lived in St Louis and was from Hungary”.

Seriously though, remembering your entire game from 1989 is pretty fricken cool. I couldn't do that. Unless of course it's recorded somewhere and you looked it over beforehand. In which case, still cool and a great lecture!
