"Quick Wins in 15 Moves or Less, with GM Ben Finegold" was recorded on tape before a live audience. REALLY live.

Ben's reaction to the kid telling him his own security guard metaphor 🤣💀

Ben is the only person I know who can create adult entertainment using children legally.

"I can't see" "well said" 😂

[@Qwikipedia]

I want these kids spectating and commentating on all my games.

[@tomswiftyphilo2504]

omg yes... although this was 5 yrs ago so you probably need to get a brand new crop of little monsters. I think my nephew would be really good for this but we'll have to ask his mom if he's allowed to move to Chennai and start commenting on games full time

[@Somane27]

With any other adult these kids would be playing checkers some light years away from earth.

[@nuthintoprove]

Ben is the best teacher for kids I've ever seen; the patients of Job. And one of the best teachers period.

[@GoofyGoobter]

I was looking for a comment specifically calling that out

[@konigsrustung8115]

I cant see (Kid)
Ben: Well Said.
How am I supposed to Fall asleep when I have to laugh that hard? 😅

[@drakewilson6913]

The kid is right having overworked pieces does feel like when you’re a security guard at a bank and another bank and you have a meeting at 9 am the next day

[@jorgerios1616]

I couldn't stop laughing throughout the whole video.

[@jinjocat]

Wish CZcams had a low pass filter.

[@ShreeRamFaujdar-gm3bj]

I love these kids sooooo much 😭♥️👍

[@jamesvail4927]

Nick, if you ever look at this comment section, just know you’re 50% the reason I watch these lectures. Ben’s the other 50%, but you’re awesome ✌️

[@FahrosXIV]

NOOOOOOOO TALKING!!!

[@whatthehirsch7385]

In Germany we say „Schnauze!“

[@henka899]

Usually the kids can be amusing in these chess lessons, but In this one they where more on the annoying side. I only made it to 17 mins. 😀

[@vancebocas7626]

lol. I switched off at 16:15.

[@simonupton442]

Did "then the horse takes the rook" at 16:06 push you over?

[@vancebocas7626]

@@simonupton442 lol. I don't know if you were asking me or the OP, but the kids annoying voices just got me to my breaking point. I had enough and as much as I would enjoy the subject matter, I couldn't with them constantly talking.

Fun fact: I had a vasectomy while watching this video.

[@vancebocas7626]

@@koalabandit9166 lmao XD

[@trevkivela9426]

Well said.

[@SevenTheJester]

The scary thing is that Ben said this was 2018. Which means all of these kids are better than me by now. 😂
Also, I believe that in the game referenced at 37:26, Doofus actually had the white pieces, so it was Doofus v. Morphy.

SHHHH

1st game! After: pc3 - Qa5, Nc7X,- Kf8, Nxa8 - Qc3X, (if Q blocks R falls) if: Ke2 - Qb2X -Ke3 -Bg4X wins the Q

Hello GM Ben Finegold. Every video you make is on my favorite chess topic. I have one question. Do you think you have more rizz than Yasser Seirawan?

[@DanRecordsThings]

Wtf is that sound @ 0:26?

[@ircjesselee]

Sounded like a kid awkwardly clearing their throat maybe?

[@sesh7357]

The kids are so cute!
