    the last time this video was uploaded Yasser was in his late fifties, now he’s in his early sixties

    Ben talking to a group of six year olds "they furrowed their brows in a vain attempt to understand the situation." I love it!

    When Alekhine died and they wanted to make Euwe the champ again he straight up was like “that’s great but I’m not good enough”

    I remember this video mainly for Yasser's style, which led me to comment "didn't know Yasser was actually all four members of Queen"

    I tried to play as Yasser in the second game and I must say it led me to great improvements: now I get mated way faster

    "You didn't get that joke, stop laughing!" - I feel ashamed.

    Even in Ben's old age, his humor does not become dull! I love this guy!

    Of all my favourite gms, I think Yasser is the one I'd actually want to meet. He seems so kind.

    At instant shock hit me when I've read the caption. Breathed out. Long live Yasser, his style is unmatchable.

    One of my favorite players ever. Yasser is massively underrated by most chess fans

    I love that Kovacevic game. Several players in the Pacific Northwest were amazed by Duncan Suttles, a Canadian player with an unusual style. Seirawan was the best of these players, and it looked as though he channeled Suttles against Kovacevic.

    If you're a beginner those 'Winning chess' books he wrote are worth getting

    I don't think I've ever seen Ben on the high road... and that's the charm of his comedy

    Yasser has always been one of my favorite players. His videos at St. Louis Chess Club were my favorite

    Re-upload for whatever reason. Help the channel and like the video again I suppose.
