I literally watched an episode of Columbo half an hour before I started this lecture. Ben was right.

I found this funny so I liked your comment before the video. Having just seen the relevant moment, it's even funnier, but I can't like your comment again :(

Everyone is lucky nodirbek is not participating the candidates.

My biggest takeaway from this lecture is that it's Nodirbek, not Nordibek. I transposed.

Thanks for the videos Fister Minegold

Without further J'adoube is such a top tier pun

uptdate he is 2764 and world N4 after winning Prague chess festival

Go Nodirbek! … but stay there.

I think we need a KZread short of Ben repeatedly trying to move the king into check. I demand meme!

this guy is fucking tearing it, wow in the top 10 and a junior!

Ben clearly inspired Abdusattorov. He jumped 11 places to overtake the world champion in rating in the first tournament following this lecture!

The last endgame I found very instructive, how black's king was simply chased all over the board, and drip, drip, drip white slowly bled black dry. Even with such little material on the board, how important king safely is!

All's well that transposes well.

nodirbek is the future

Nodirbek goo!! From Uzbekistan

This Abdusattorov guy is pretty present. 45:01 Oh how the turns have tabled.

Only three weeks after this was uploaded Abdusattorov is now ranked 4th in live ratings, above the world champion.

good timing for this given Nodirbek's elevation into the world top 10 yesterday! He's one of my favourite players and I really hope he goes on to become world champion. He's certainly capable and it's great to see him leading such a talented group of Uzbek youngsters

How dare the sponsor arrogantly suggest his wife is better than Karen. I am shaking.

awesome thanks Ben !

nice video BEN just love it ty so much

Uzbekistan is a great country with some Amazing architecture the chess culture is strong is all former Soviet republics.

Nodirbek one of the best end game player.

Wow, what an impressive rise. Nodirbek has blown by Alireza and is looking like he could be a serious threat for the world title.

Go Ben!

As of today, he just entered the Top 10 in the world!

Good man

4 in the world now.

Please note 8:41 Using open file vs half-open file error was a head shaker. Are you fishing? LOL

Are you feeling fine Ben? Your left arm seems to be shaking at the beginning of the video

You are on a roll

does anyone know if there’s a lecture by Ben on Dubov?

Firozja is the king of the new generation of the chess players 💯

Is the bookcase in the background slightly tilted?

You already did a graet players of the present on nodirbek few years ago . Should've done this on arjun erigaisi

How about a lecture on Zhansaya Abdumalik

now he is the top 7 in the world

at 17:07, I was wondering why black didn't just play Kxf6. Turns out its the best move. I'm the best!

When I'm not sending Ben my money on Twitch I'm working to earn money to send him on Twitch. I hope he spends every penny on something he enjoys

Caught another one! My My BF? LOL 25:14 )Oh BTW, I sometimes stutter so no pun intended(. "Lift" in chess is most notably reserved for a "Rook Lift" and by accident for German speaking "Amercians". (married to eastern brides.) Confused? Well, as you very well know CHESS is very calculating and precise, howlever you above all as a teacher of your life's essence need this sintax awareness. Let me "expain", since your humor in word play is so well known and I, an Irish struggling poet attempts to give you a proper pantomimic crytic. Per A.I., In chess, the German word luft means "air" or "space". In chess, it refers to the space left by a pawn move that a king can retreat into. This space is usually created by advancing a pawn to h3 or g3, or h6 or g6 for Black. The purpose of this move is to create space around the king, especially to avoid a back-rank checkmate. This move can be made at any stage of the game. Ergo stop using lift for pawn moves that advance one space as if a two space pawn move has a specific name oppose to a one square lift? Expecting no RSVP, as this may be not be replied to by my mentor but is "en passant" by the readers and bypassed by you. BUT! maybe we aficionados could petition for "lift" being called the "Pawn Lift" per the premier pawn push. Now in all reality "lift" does mean to advance, so you are correct with vernacular speaking but CHESS is a very particular game that I advise to avoid it's use in order to not confuse your students. If you do choose to continue as old habits are hard to break then maybe this little antidote might make in one of your vidsessions as a diatribes. Maybe Karen might agree it is an interesting tidbit to include. "Ohmagine" the teacher learning from the student! Harrah!!!

Additionally, great games and exPLAINations.

Before writing a comment win him in a game

That would be Triple check Lol

I love Ben's lectures and his videos back from the STL days. What is up with the constant lip smacking ? This just started recently. Did you get a better mic? Stop it, Ben ! It's really gross if you listen with headphones. I can't be the only one.

Comment

the vibrating chair always weirds me out

i just seen an owl who ? an owl who...

Here for the algorithm. Terrible. Good video though 👍

Perturbed. Is that a word you say a lot?
