We know that you don’t have a girlfriend just enjoy the good chess lecture

At the time of that first game, Kotov just completed the manuscript for the book, "Think like an Expert" 🤣

New video! 4:55 Very suspicious

He does look like Steve Carell

My favorite player!

I was listening to this trying to sleep and in my dream , somehow gm ben finegold was sitting next to donald trump behind a table and to me some of the explanations about soviet era chess was a repeat but i was like , for sure ben is saying this to add context for trump 😅

Benst by test.

it would have been so funny if some master that ben doesn't know showed up to one of his lectures - just one time - and answered all his questions about past masters and games. But I'm guessing that never actually happened.

You guess wrong. Watch some of his earlier Atlanta lectures and you'll find out what happens when a knowledgeable master who likes to tell stories just as much as Ben does shows up in the audience. I wanna say his name was Dave but I forget. Strong southern drawl, talked a ton in multiple vids.

@@greenninBen is visibly choking on his own rage much of the time. Go through Atlanta chess club era vids, glance at comments to see if people are complaining about the guy talking.

lol... working on those knight moves!!! hahaha

Tarrasch was a jew like a lot of these strong German and Austrian players of that time. Lasker, Steinitz, Spielmann and Mieses. And there were more, if you count people, who went to Germany or had to do a lot with Germany like Zukertort, Nimzovich and Tartakower.

Another classic, "there's a whole lot of attacking going on," I went into fits of laughter, I would bet there wasn't one pop star in the US, in the 50's who even knew how chess pieces moved. They were too obsessed with hanging black people from trees, and marrying their 13yo cousins.
