This is also a good video on intermediate tactics for advanced players.
Is there one on basic tactics for grandmasters?
@@tolkienfan1972I would prefer Stockfish tactics for people who don't know how the pieces move

I'm currently studying crappy tactics for Super GM's, but it's really hard to understand
this was my favourite lecture that I've watched today and I haven't watched any other ones.
@951genni - I think it's my second favourite because my favourite is a lecture I haven't watched yet - because it hasn't been made - lol!!
awesome and i love your comments more than any comments that have been written here including (90% of the one I'm yet to read.
Most people in the world aren't Grandmaster Ben Finegold and neither am I. But this guy IS. It's one of the things that make him special
This will be your favorite lecture today, as long as you don't watch any other ones. 😂
This series was a good idea 👍 keep it going, please.
Great video, Ben. I learned a thing or two. Or not. I can't remember.
Thank you Ben, and thank you Patrick Wheeler
I'm all for intermediate tactics for Advanced players being the next series.
I haven't watched any lectures in 2 weeks and this was my favorite lecture in the last 2 weeks.
Perfect teaching video, Ben. Not overloaded with too much new material, yet not boring. I'll use these ideas. Good jokes too.
Yay quality content!
Thank you for your time Ben.
This is dope, I just found your channel a few mins ago, I really appreciated your input on your video on how to get better.
I’m on a journey to get better and im excited to watch this video.
Great lecture as always! 👍🙏
At 31:00, thanks for giving me ample time to figure it out! I needed the whole ample, but I got it just in time! Now I can forget everything about it.
thank you so much, please carry on with this
37:45 Bishop popping up from where it couldn't have been. One of my favorite blunders that I make is not looking at the whole board before an important move: some move sequences are automatic and you can't spend too much time on them, but it takes maybe five seconds to scan the board, like an aircraft pilots doing their regular instrument scan to make sure they aren't doing a controlled flight into terrain, the aviation equivalent of a chess blunder only the consequences may be a little more serious. The queen check with a fork has caught me a few times and it would have been more if I was playing stronger opponents! For that alone this video has been two hours very well spent (I watched it twice). I will try to make prevention of checks part of my development routine.
Great lecture...I liked seeing the same tactic in different positions.
Thanks for doing what you do!
Loved this one, thanks
That was awesome Ben ! will watch it again for sure. Really enjoyed your depth of knowledge. And great sense of humor. I love stale mates too because they involve advanced tactics ! Some of my best games are stalemates which can be exciting stuff. What's better than a stale mate ? escaping a stale mate !! In a recent chess 960 game I could escape with a backward knight move to block the rook check after a crazy king chase, and also freeing up squares for the enemy king to move to. Looking forward to the next lecture. Thanks Go Ben !
Brilliant!
Easy to follow and practical.
This video appeared from scratch on my time line and now I loved it and I know you.
Nice, waiting for part 2
Love you ben thanks for the video brotha
Wow just what I needed!
Enjoying these these ideas.
Outstanding
I really enjoyed this lecture thanks GM
Thank you very much Mr. Finegold 👍👍
Thank you Mr. Wheeler!
cool lecture. 10/10 would recommend
Suspiciously informative
Thank you
Good stuff
more please!
As a coach, i understand how great it feels when students remember something!
Go, Patrick Wheeler!
Man this lecture is co cool I even brought myself another glass of herbs sirup. Cheers.
I watched a good lecture on Bobby Fisher earlier but I don’t remember it so this will be the best lecture that I remember today.. until I forget
very good.
I used to play the Max Lange Attack whenever possible as white and I think I've had the position at 26:50 over 100 times in blitz and rapid. Ben didn't mention the best part of this opening trap, which is that after Qxf6 Bxe6 fxe6 Qh5+ g6 Qxc5, Black invariably tries to "salvage" the position with O-O-O and further blunders the exchange to Bg5. It's great.
"Learning the opening" takes more than memorizing engine moves. You need to understand what your plans/goals in the opening are, and what options your opponent has.
What's the fun of playing same dubious openings hoping for opponent to blunder a piece like that?
@@ALTTABINMAINMENU what's the fun of eating ginger? Some people like it.
@@johnreppel2756we talking about the spice or the type of person
@@ALTTABINMAINMENU Max Lange Attack isn't dubious. If you input the mainline moves into the engine and turn on the eval, White's actually slightly better. Black would be better off just playing the classical two knights instead of going into this dangerous line.
Thanks for this, I really enjoy the intermediate lectures. It's wasted on me though because obviously I'm terrible at chess.
This is some fine gold right here.
I love this type of your videos
sorry about the mom in the car
This will definitely help me reach 800 ELO except it probably won't
Ben ur awesome. Please put a picture up behind u and fill the holes in your shelf unit.
@25:52 worth it no spoilers
"There's a lawyer in Michigan"
This is Perfect, Great lesson Mr. Finegold
Very best post on tactis to draw in critical situation, great sir🎉❤❤
"and I was like woah, that's a bishop on b1." 😂 37:42
Ben: "oh no my bishop, oh no my rook, stalemate"
I'm learning to play chess, and I too suffer from old-timer's disease.
I appreciate your presentation style.
I'm also very proud of your stalemate
Ben over here putting chess coaches out of business😅 great video!
amazing lecture. I hate the wet sticky sounds though, I hope you could find a solution to it.
nice tactics there
12:40 lesson: if a GM hangs a pawn on move 5, test for poison.
bens next lecture: super advanced tactics for beginners
50:55 And that's why I have a reputation for never resigning in my local club.
The joke about the triplet had me rolling lol
37:18 Someone knows the name of that opening?
0:13 Did he just call us weakly?!
Cool
Isn’t it mate in 2 with Q to F5# in Evan’s vs Reshevski ?
The mouse slip one was awesome haha I bet you laughed hard
42:08 😂😂😂😂😂
21:18 I was wondering about Nxe5 winning the pawn and preventing you from losing the knight to Qh4+
I don't know. After the queen trade on d1 there's ...Nd7, Black can castle queenside, the rook's looking at your king, Black's development is way better...
It is not easy to keep that won pawn. For example, after Nxe5 Nxe5 dxe5 Nd7, if White decides to protect the pawn on e5, it comes with drawbacks. For instance, Bf4 loses the bishop to the same tactic. Qd4 Bc5 Qf4 0-0 and Black has the clear lead in development and the pawn on e5 is not safe yet. f4 doesn’t solve the problem as f6 either wins a pawn back or again leads to better development of Black pieces. In other words, Nxe5 doesn’t loose the game or something but doesn’t really give an advantage. Taking the pawn on e5 needs to be prepared by g3 (protects against Qh4) and so forth.
@@mishaerementchouk thanks,
I wasn’t sure if I was just missing something obvious or if the other options for white are just better
I appreciate the fact that he goes slowly and he’s repetitive
Uncle Ben ❤😁
This guy is too funny😂
You have to always keep in mind your kings position. Is it exposed to a single check. If the king is, then you better watch where you put your pieces to make sure a fork doesn't take place.
yes yes yes yes yes
A great book for repetition of advanced tactics I recommend “1000 checkmate combinations”
christmas came early
in the first game instead of queen takes queen, qf3 is mate
Pls do some analysis on Mir Sultan Khan some day.
@14:00 This actually works even if white plays the more normal Bc4 instead of Be2. Nxe4 is followed by Qa5, Bxf7 and Qxe4 causing the black king to become sus on f7 :) (Still, white is not objectively winning but oh man, who would take black in that position?)
The most advanced tactic is the "unstoppable". It's not attacking anything, there is no check, the opponent has 30 legal moves, none of which are obviously ridiculous - it's just that there is a threat that the opponent can't stop. Like Knife f5. That's hard to see.
Bishop on B1, he plays a sniper in CoD, wearing a ghillie suit.
In the third example, white already blundered rather severely by playing f3
Goofus is the third triplet ;)
@5:00 He probably thought Bf1 is fine but forgot about QxQ and then Rxa1.
I definitely play Rufus in round 1.😂
I play The famous french player Rouffouse" Douffouse"
Finegold is the only GM who can spend 7 mins on one tactic example (spending most of the time talking about something that happened in his life)
Why no stats! I would like to see real play results for relevancy BF. (Best Friends would reply with an answer, typical reply 😁 😁)
Grand Master Finegold, when you say "Over learn tactics, over learn tactics." You mean play overly tactical in the opening I hope?
52:10 Kh6 is funny
25:35 😂
2:10
"And then you blunder your Q... I mean that ruins... like a whole day for you."
16:00
>it's finite
>but it's almost infinite
bruh the math ain't mathin' on that one, lol
also just to corroborate finegold for no reason: i've had the tactic on-screen at the aforementioned timestamp as black. i had it against a 1600 after e4 c5 Nf3 e6 d4 cxd4 Nxd4 Nf6 e5. i imagine someone rated 1600 only falls for this if they're used to seeing Nc6 and they just turn their brain off.
OH NO BEN'S BISHOP
11:11 good thing I wasn't paying attention
6:15 in the first game wouldn't you rather play queen F4 for checkmate?
White can block with their queen.
I've been teaching my son about chess. I passed him down advice that my grandfather passed down to me... Do not learn winning moves so you can play them. Learn losing moves so you don't play them.
GM Rodney Dangerfield
So basically, Fisher was right it's all memory
I'll be practicing fake mouse slips now 🙂
