Ryder Sonthestorm I'm rated 1200

Finegold for president....of Earth

5 years later, how’s your chess journey coming along Ryder?

I just came here to check if OP has become World Chess Champion thanks to the continuation of the original pattern.

huh, check again

Rizky Satya well mental illness had something to do with it. Bobby Fischer was severely paranoid by the end of his career and was ultimately his downfall as we know

LOL

Kyerean

RIP Krogius

+Daggerfall40 Bobby's opponents make it look so easy. ;)

+Jimmy Lundberg, not true, Fischer won against all the best players of his day.

+Jimmy Lundberg glad we have kasparov here guys

It was a joke, you can move on with your lives. thx

It's "feel the Bern," which is a spin off Bernie Sanders' name. It's a common catchphrase for Bernie supporters, especial the millennial crowd. The original phrase "feel the burn" used to be more popular, although I don't know its date of origination or popularity in recent years.

+Draevon May I wasn't aware of that one, thx for the explanation

+Draevon May Also, you could spell it "feel the Byrne", which adds another layer to the joke.

+TheMovization I was implying to the relation between the last name of the player in the game and that, but wasn't aware of that senator. That is what I meant when I said sophisticated,:) Only I felt a burn once it was explained to me that it was about Mr. Sanders (Haven't heard about him before) :)

You really shouldn't think someone is great / bad for agreeing / not agreeing with your political views. Let's focus on economy for a second. People who study economies their entire lives, getting a Ph.D. on the topic, disagree with each other. It's incredibly naïve when someone who hasn't even read a casual book on the topic feels so strongly about it, and in a modern, specialized society, most people, in fact, don't have time to be doing that research. Imagine a world where everyone posted about theoretical physics on their Facebook page and ridiculously name called people for believing in the "wrong" interpretation of quantum mechanics. It really is equally insane how many people treat politics.

@@AG-ld6rv You really shouldn't be telling other people how is it allowed or not to appreciate one another.

@@pintomed Why? By your logic, no one is allowed to comprehend what other people are doing. You're radiating unimpressive "only God can judge me" vibes that drunken teenagers have. Grow up. You can and should judge people for what they do, and the way you view politics is tribal and idiotic.

He was too intelligent and funny for a YT where watching ten year olds play Minecraft constitutes the majority of relevant traffic.

+Sergi any luck locating anything else from Ben? Videos interviews?

Aliaksandr Melnikau I believe he's on something of a haitus. I recall him stating something to the effect of that he'll be occupied with other pursuits for the next few months. If nothing else, he's moved out of state for the time being.

Be always aware of the squares they can jump into. Try to use pawns to defends those squares. Not much science

+p1nesap Put your pieces on different color than your opponents knights..

+kjr63 ah I see what you mean: have pieces on different color than knight's *before* the knight moves (it's different color *after* knight moves...). Thanks for tip.

Wow you could've been the US champion then huh?

Not a bad idea, sacrificing a queen for a monster bishop.

+Ibakecookiess They are both directed into opponent's territory, but you can notice, that white's bishop has no targets. It attacks absolutely nothing, while the g7 Bishop is pressuring 2 knights and a rook, pinning everything. Just look at the variations after the sacrifice, it picks up a lot of material in many lines. The diffrence is really incredible.

As GM Finegold explains in the video, a good piece from white's perspective at that moment is one that defends the king since king safety is so bad. All the pieces far away from the king can't help defend against a mating attack. On the other hand, a good piece from black's perspective is an attacking piece that either helps checkmate the king or win large amounts of material. The g7 bishop is lined up with three of white's pieces, and in various variations (some of which he shows), that bishop comes into play to secure a material advantage that leads to a clearly winning position for black.

Super late, but my engine says after Nce2 Qh3+ Ke1 Qxh2 that knight is doomed, and Nde2 is the same but Qg2 instead of Qxh2. Basically that knight gets piled up on and things get ugly fast in both instances

If you plug the position into an engine, it finds a forced checkmate in 15 moves. While a human might not be able to find a mate in 15 like that one, humans are quick to notice the elements of the position that indicate a mate is in the air. The king has no defensive pieces around it while black has many pieces in the attack.

craftboy dumbass they had several hours each. In real chess the lowest time you will have for a serious tournament is 90 minutes.

Official fide time for tournament chess is 90min+30. If i'm not mistaken it was even longer in Fischer's era tho.

+Maximalus There is that line 1... Bxe2 2. Nxe2 Bxa1 3. Rxa1 and here, if you count the material, Fischer has a rook and two pawns for two pieces, so he is only a pawn up(remember he sacrificed his knight earlier on f2) It's not worth giving up that monster bishop to regain the material, his attack is overwhelming after d4!

Chessbase.

Right

Feel the Byrne

Probably likes Bernie because he reminds him of when he was wild and crazy...

Ayeee thats what i said!

You mean, when he couldn't lose anymore? The reason Finegold was out of screen yesterday was because he was waving blood red flags together with Castro, Maduro and Jong-un yesterday on May 1st. To honor his idols Stalin, Lenin, Mao, Pol-Pot.

but Fischer wrote in his book that he liked white's play if moving the other rook

Which Knight?

I would have to run it through again....If you reach the position on your engine it should find it.

Don't forget incel ideology, "The Game" esque pickup "artistry," MGTOW babytalk and general misogyny

@OTKUGO Ya you're a complete moron, thanks for clearing that up. The irony of you calling anyone else unhinged after making that post is hilarious.

Everett Schulte he ran the media

Don't tell Fischer that. He might smash your face into his signed copy of Mein Kampf.

@@jerrygu5316 Fischer didn't like Hitler tho and made it clear in one of his letters.

@@tellahsage6477nobody is perfect

@Daniel Burke As a Bernie fan, I agree with you

+cyxFrag Terrible!

+Hasna Cristian very suspicious.

If Ben supported Trump then that would make him more intelligent than supporting Bernie? Or is the most intelligent thing to do to support no one and instead dig a hole in your garden and stick your head in it until the world ends?

from everything, actually.

@Daniel Burke hardly.

@@6105boe what is an alt left

With that statement he is directly challenginging the legitimacy of that statement itself. Now this is leading to a paradox lol.

Ben always runs the same jokes. He has a video from like 2014 doing the Trump joke. This one is before the primaries had even begun, before Trump was even considered a relevant primary candidate even. It's not politically motivated.

+bad.m1notaur free speech..how much are you paying him for his videos anyway?

bad.m1notaur it pays them pittens per video..you need to get millions of views before you even start making decent money off youtube ads.

I understand that I didn't pay him to watch his video. I assume, however, since they left the comment section on that they invite comments. I tuned in because I was interested in what GM Finegold had to say about this famous game and was treated to his political beliefs before he got to the actual lecture. I find that distasteful and exercised my free speech to say so. I just find it kind of amusing that you try to curtail my right to free speech by arguing that he has the right to free speech. lol

+bad.m1notaur where did I ever tell you that you can't say anything about it. I was just countering your argument.

vetiarvind you inferred that I should refrain from saying what I said because I didn't pay him.

+zombitroid84 "all" lol

Cya!

Tbh you're right. He's alienating half his potential audience by infusing his chess lectures with politics. I'd be happy to watch a video about his politics, but all he does in his lectures is spouting some nonsensical oneliners. Frustrating, because otherwise he's a great speaker and genuinely funny sometimes.

I seriously doubt half the people watching chess videos are trump supporters considering a low IQ correlates with being conservative and chess is a thinking man's game. journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0956797611421206 Besides, if you are going to not watch hour long videos because of a 5 second joke, then one: you are a fucking sensitive snowflake who can't take a joke, two: you haven't and never were going to watch many Finegold videos in the first place regardless of the jokes and three: you are a whiny little baby. Besides, this isn't television. You could easily just skip ahead using the jump 10-15 seconds feature or scroll on the bottom if you really cared so much about having your delicate political sensibilities never questioned by anyone ever. Jesus, when did conservatives become such whiny babies. The comment section is FULL of conservative snowflake bitches. Maybe if you listen to some dissenting voices your balls will finally drop.

@Daniel Burke Chess ability actually correlates with iq: Giovanni Sala, Alexander P. Burgoyne, et al. "Checking the “Academic Selection” argument. Chess players outperform non-chess players in cognitive skills related to intelligence: A meta-analysis." Intelligence 61: 130-139. Published: March-April 2017. DOI: 10.1016/j.intell.2017.01.013 Since high intelligence tends to correlate with liberalism, it can be said that liberals are better at chess. No ones claiming "liberals are better." I said what I said: "low IQ correlates with being conservative and chess is a thinking man's game." and "Chess ability actually correlates with iq" and claim that and nothing more with actual meta analysis to prove it. You use anecdotal and bad apple fallacies and whine "NOOOOOO" in the face of clear and obvious defeat. This is the problem with talking to conservatives: you have to explain everything to them very slowly and even then, they are too stupid to do anything but parrot idiotic bullshit they read on the internet written by a loser in his moms basement who claims his lack of ability to get laid isnt his disgusting physical and mental appearance, its a Man Going his Own Way. LOL

Coz Bernie is Jewish?
