This right here... is prime Ben Finegold content. Bravo!

OMG I could listen to Ben for hours ranting about f4.

Ben was so angry the F4 key on my piano felt bad

This analysis almost made me crack open of laughter.

What happens when you get to the gates of heaven and St. Peter asks "Why did you play f4?"

Came for the chess stayed for the cardinality lecture.

TIL the five stages of grief are denial, anger, anger again, depression, and even more anger.

6:05 This is where the epic F4 rant starts

I want more rufus and doofus analysis like this. They make the type of mistakes I do, so I can benefit way more with Ben telling me why my moves sucks than to pretend to understand some super GM level analysis.

I can imagine myself making a move like f4, watching this, and crying and laughing at the same time as I'm roasted into infinite chess oblivion.

Ironic that Ben (sort of) references Cantor’s diagonal argument in a position with no bishops.

I knew this one was going to be Fine-Gold content. This out did my expectations. I laughed with my girlfriend about f4. This literally made our mornings knowing we can never blunder irl that hard as the f4.

If you play f4 the pawn should capture itself out of shame.

I forgot, what was the move not to do here that weakens a king? F-something?

The sixth stage of grief...Banned!

BRUTAL commentary! 😂

"How is this guy 1947 its not even lichess" 💀💀

When aleph naught is not big enough to express your disappointment.

That was hilarious! I was laughing the entire time

This is peak content (and I didnt think f4 was that bad at first 😂). Thanks for that.

The cardinality of an infinity basically deals with mapping elements from one set to the other. If you can write out a mapping from one infinite set to another, they are the same "size". So for whole numbers and even numbers, you basically map 0 to 0 (0 is even), 1 to 2, 2 to 4, 3 to 6, ... This shows the "size" of their infinities are the same. An interval on the real number line, on the other hand, has no mapping between whole numbers and every possible real. You can spend up all your mappings on just one tiny segment like 0 to 0.1, 1 to 0.01, 2 to 0.001, .... And you have the rest of that interval of real numbers between 0 and 1 remaining. That's not a formal proof of it, but it should get the general idea across. An common proof assumes a mapping does exist and then shows there is a contradiction -- the ability to construct a new real number definitely not in the assumed mapping, a contradiction proving that no such mapping exists.

Of all the places, I didn't expect to see lecture on infinite series from Ben xD

I want to give this video an infinite sequence of upvotes that is slightly longer than the sequence of question marks given to f4

6:06 🤣

I really appreciate this style of Ben Finegold content - slightly less acerbic, and teaching more

Ben is why i started playing

Ben would be a great cheerleader for paralympics.

i concur with your analysis

That ending I’m dead

f4? might as well be alt-f4

Reminds me of the video of Nigel Short at Atlanta. If I was good, I'd remember what that move was.

I don’t think people realize what Ben does for the whole chess community. He doesn’t have to teach but it’s in his blood and something he loves to do. Which in turn makes you worse at chess.

The thumbnail and the title of the video is killing me 😂

“Get much better at chess.” On it.

Ben on fire - he's back!!!!

The_legendary_f4_game____generations_from_now_will_remember_this_day

If only life were just a series of book moves and brillliancies. Unfortunately it's mostly blunders, mistakes and inaccuracies, and cheating is way more prevalent than you thought! 🙃

I'm imagining Dzindzi's reaction

Viewer analysis is your best content

Never play f4 I guess 🤷‍♂️

Great thumbnail and content as always, obviously, Frankly!

Man that thumbnail is amazin😂

13:40 There’s actually the same number of numbers between 0 and 1 as there are integers. There’s a bijection between the two sets of numbers with the transition function being removing the decimal point and reversing the numbers (or reversing the numbers and adding a decimal point in the reverse). For example, .1235 gets mapped to 5321, and 4123 gets mapped to .3214 However, there is not a bijection between all the real numbers and all the integers. The set of all real numbers is a larger set than all the integers (which is what I think Ben meant)

To be honest, at 8:24 I would have done a very stupid thing, but more practical: Qc2, with the idea of trading the Rooks for a Queen, then harassing the c-pawn, since we have two very mobile Rooks

C4. That’s explosive.

Endless entertainment

the f4 meme is upon us

Alright Ben. I'm 850. I'll try to reach at least 1500 by the end of the year so I can better understand how bad F4 is.

Maybe someone sent this game to Fischer. That would explain a lot.

Sorry Ben, there is no largest infinity. Just iterate the power set on the natural numbers. Though, I guess maybe you could claim the largest infinity is the class (not set) of all cardinals.

an infinity of which no infinity is larger!

F4 was truely disgusting. But at least it looks a tiny bit better than f3.

I lost about 3.5 million brain cells after seeing f4😪

Man, the truth hurts

Infinity and beyond

I saw these players have very respectable ratings so it’s funny to think they could make Ben go through the stages of grief 😂

05:23 did not mentioned the obvious checkmate in 2 with the rooks.

I laughed pretty hard when he told us all to get much better just to understand how bad f4 was. Lol. I wish man.

How bad is F4 compared to F8?

This game can't be real, it's not just absent minded blunders, f4 and rb1 are so fundamentally bad there and no 1800-1900s who would do those two moves in a row

I'm starting to get the feeling that F4 is a bad move.

God DAMN f4

F4 gives me hope, I can do better than that. 😂😂😂

Integers and whole numbers are both things. Whole numbers start at 0 and increase by 1 to infinity (0, 1, 2, 3, ...). Integers include the negative numbers as well. And yes, there are as many even whole numbers as there are integers. There are even as many powers of some arbitrarily large number (not zero or one) as there are integers. Aren't homomorphisms great?

alt+f4 would have been a better move

ben is so funny XD

Did you photoshop their ratings just for kicks easter egg?

I will get better at chess, promise 😂

I blame Ben, never play f3

stop, he's already dead

I also wouldn't send Ben a blitz game with nonsense moves made under time pressure.

The F4 show 😅

I actually thought f4 was good frankly terrible

12:15 "Qeen H1 also ends?" Ayo wassup Big Breen? Dats such a Big Breen qestion.

f4 is sooo bad it’s worse than f3

First

Stop drinking into your microphone... be professional man..
