ben is still the best chess commentator in the world. Thank you Rex Sinquefield! Sometimes I worry that the reason we don't see Ben much from time to time is that Republican megadonor Rex buries Ben down in the vault for Ben's vegetarian liberal ways.

What, NO dont go away again, come on man you were born to do this , we all agreee , you teach something that can be very boring ( well not for us ) and you make it fun and funny ( an extra for us ) so talk to that man with the big wallet and tell him that I would like the 1 % a little more if they keep finegold on the pay roll .

It seems to me that Ben is a bit butt hurt that Akobian was in the tournament and he wasn't. It he's purposefully pointing out games and situations where Var made mistakes and poking a bit of fun at him. You both are great at instructional chess videos and often work for the same employer....just left a bad taste in my mouth. Ben seems like the kind of guy who believes in trying to make himself look better by trying to tear down the competition rather than bringing himself up to their level...perhaps he needs a beginner lesson in modesty?
