Timman was way ahead of his time. It wasn't until the last decade that Hans Niemann, and later Carlsen, began to emulate his magnificent hair.

Ben is improving: with this pace by 2024 he'll achieve the goal of an introduction longer than the rest of the lecture

Hey, it's my favourite player, Jan Timman

[@goodnewseverybody739]

Best chess content around. Real meat and potatoes stuff. Turns out actually understanding the game gives you a bit of an advantage.

[@chrispope9418]

Ben you do such a good job at this. Keep them coming. You’re the best etc but mainly etc 😂

[@gmcenroe]

Nice games, Timman was one of my favorite players and authors.

According to his Wiki, Kasparov wasn't even rated until 1979. Making Ben higher rated than him for 4 years.

Looks like you had a good lunch today... Nice video, thank you.

That second game against Kasparov was utterly beautiful

You know you've reached the top when you don't have to worry about sauce stains on your shirt anymore.

Hey... I was in Montreal at that tournament and spoke to Michail Tal who had to wave his body guards off when I approached him! Lol. Didn't see you Ben. You must have been Short

[@biggsweaty]

This was really great. Thanks for that.

Great Shirt Stains of the Present

[@tonyennis1787]

You've done one of these videos on Bent Larsen and now one on Timman. When you see either of these two featured in a replay, they almost always are on the losing side.

Jan the man
