- Grandmaster Ben Finegold shows two middlegames from the 2015 Thanksgiving Open at the Club. These were Ben's first long rated games in seven months.
2015.12.08
Benjamin P Finegold vs. Matthew Larson, 2015: D04 Queen's pawn game
Nick W Karlow vs. Finegold, 2015: A45 Queen's pawn game
"instead of giving my queen away, i didn't give my queen away."
i'm no expert, but that seems like a tactically sound move.
"The computer was flabbergasted" - Ben seems to be a good teacher if his students can do that :-) ... and great explanations here about what the *plan* is rather than showing endless tactical variations!
More Ben! Always fun to see
the answer is fries...i mean yes
"Sometimes he is right and sometimes i am right, but usually we are both wrong" B. Finegold
Finally some more finegold! Every lecture should be recorded :-P
thank you Ben. I lost all three games yesterday at our tiny local club, so was down in the dumps. You lifted my spirits!!!
44:34 "I also took a nap, but don't tell anybody that. Especially the cops." lmao
Really nice to see you back. Nice lecture, nice stories... =D Thank you, Ben.
Nice to see Ben again!
Huzzah, more GM Finegold! Solid!
Ben is great. Love his lessons.
good to see you back ben! missed you around!
it was about time, welcome back
Gotta love this guy
Nice lecture. In the first game Bf4 was very instructive.
Welcome back Ben !
We don't care if he's depressed, moar Ben!!
welcome back ben
what an awesome game!
whatever happened to ben's youtube channel? his videos were some of my favorites.
I don't get it either, why would he delete it? It was awesome.
Good lecture :)
Amazing
AWESOME.
What did Mr. Finegold say around 2:10 ("Black can sorta do whatever he wants, hopefully to his [this word], if he's playing me.")?
+William Hamilton detriment
Yasser v. Ben, please.
Hello, can somebody please explain why he did not take "en passant" after his opponent played Pawn g2 to g4? At 35:03 Thank you.
If black doesn't take en passant, white has a trapped bishop which can't move at all. If black takes he allows white's bishop to become active on the diagonal
Someone tell me if I'm making stuff up, but at 9:53 after the knight sacrifice that he says is dubious, it looks like white plays h6 and has a lethal attack. ...Bxh6 looks disastrous after a pin and white's rooks are going to quickly enter the fray after black has to waste time defending f7 (lest he get chewed up), and black has no dreams of a counter sacrifice for either of the pawns on e5 or f6 because then the b2 bishop truly comes to life and black wishes he didn't wake up that morning.
Rob Kline After the pin black should be able to untangle with Rh8 and Qf8
RAWR!
I'd love to be a professional chess player.
It is a pity for the poor sound quality.
43:40 nice
Woho
Benst by test. Fischer.
20:53 !!
Same game from his last lecture. But this time he's lecturing adults. Terrible.
+Jesus Rios Very suspicious.
+ii121 Put it in H. Never play F3. C4 is explosive. Always repeat. Tricks are for kids. Cause I'm a vegetarian. Plus tax, and tax is higher in Michigan.
ii121 Always play Bf8/Bf1, always play Kb1/Kb8, and always play exf5/exf4
and you get paid by the hour
Terrible
6:01 when ur first name is Kevin
very suspicious
Why did GM Finedolg retired for 6 months? He doesn't want to keep playing chess?
seems depressed ;(
I love Ben but the microphone picking up his gulps gross me out. Very suspicious
hmm a toned down ben today
