"My Bishop is better, my Rook is better, my suit is better" Right into the Finegold qoute collection

"This is the second time in the game my opponent made a move for a very good reason but he didn't know what the reason was. So he's going to be a Grandmaster someday because he doesn't know why he's playing these great moves but he still does it." "I played Bd6 and I have a threat which my opponent didn't see but he prevented it anyway. Pretty good, pretty talented" LOL, absolutely hilarious

Thanks for being uploading more Ben Finegold lectures

Another Finegold lecture, nice Christmas present. Thank you!!

Old Anand = young Anand, young Anand is worse but better. got it

This opening music with bens face makes me laugh :D

Ben, the funniest and most entertaining lecturer ever. Great win by the way!

Funny, entertaining and insightful as always. Glad to see Ben back.

This channel = awesome

A Finegold a day keeps the sad away!

love this overloaded guy

Wow this is one of his most informative lectures.

Another Finegold lecture, a christmas miracle!

Feingold's analysis of the Bxb5 move is wrong. Feingold's line is: 19. Bxb5 cxb5 20. Nxb5 Qc6 21. Nxd6 Qxd6 22. Bxf4 exf4 -+ (~-2.30) The better line is: 19. Bxb5 cxb5 20. Nxb5 Qc6 21. Nxd6 Qxd6 22. Bc5 skewering queen and rook = (~-0.34)

Yaay! GM Finegold again!

By the comments of every video Ben is the favorite of everyone, MORE VIDEOS WITH HIM Marry Christmas everyone : )

Big Ben, still awesome. Very happy he's back.

YOU'RE FINALLY BAAACK!!!!

Where is Yasser?

what ever happened to ben's channel? it was one of my favorites.

23:00 I don't understand why he didn't try to trap the knight by moving the rook to a3: I don't see any escape square for the knight if he goes there and I know the white bishop defends the knight if it goes to a6, but it would be black's turn, which means it could eat the knight with the bishop, the white bishop would eat the black one and then the black rook would eat back the bishop. Obviously, this requires threatening the knight first, else no reason for the opponent to give a knight away. Mmm, I'm guessing after black's rook moves to a3, white could move the rook to a1, trying to trade rooks and stopping the trap, though I'd have liked to see an explanation about this line.

21:56 another cute line is after Rxf7 Rxb4 Nh3+ winning the white queen (so after all you could have played Bxb4

I might be a bit to gung ho when playing, but at 15:30ish, instead of Bc4, why not Na4 followed by c4 and eventually reroute the knight via b2, possibly play c5 and Nc4. onwards to d6, supported by the pawn on c5.Well, just an idea for white to improve.

At 21:21 He says that on 1. Bb3 he would play 1...Kh8, rejecting 1...Bxb4 because of 2.Bxf7+ Rxf7 3.Rxb4 but black has 3...Nh3+! winning the queen so b4 is really hanging after 1. Bb3

lol. Ben is awesome.

Middle aged guys minds become muddled believe me it happen to me as well.

34:34 5 pieces? did someone underpromote to a knight or??

Young Anand = Old Anand, young Anand is worse, but better. Had to think twice of it. Everybody is confused, Finegold FTW. Merry Christmas everyone btw :)

37:33, What about Bc5?

I am pretty sure that white loses a queen if the player decides to " play for tactics" like it was mention between 21:44 to 21:56 :)

whoever has a Ben Finegold quote please put it in a reply

Nice, but he did this game with the 'kids' on the 21st Dec. Still a good lecture though!

I'm drinking whiskey at home

I'm brand new to Finegold, yet I have just dropped Comedy Channel so I can make my evenings both enjoyable and instructive

If I was white I would have captured the pawn and checked the black king with my bishop so he couldn't castle later in the game, making developing his rooks more difficult.

Ben. Try playing my game. "Crown Defence: Sicilian Variation" of my own creation. 1. e4, c5 2. Nf3, a6 3. Bc4, e6... and whatever white does black plays Nc6, Qc7, b6, Bb7, 0-0-0, followed by a pawn storm on the king side. - The Queen is much better on Qc7 than Qb6 as you have played in this game. My opening defence as black gives you good chances against 1300 rated players.
