GM Ben Finegold Shows Off His Mating Skills 

Ha! It was indeed Ben's sexy bedroom pose that lured me into clicking the video. Although his chess was pretty fit too 😂

Always exchange the sacs

And more fascist than 1940's Italy. Mamma Mia.

And less fit for public office

That's not how it works though.

That's exactly how you determine performance rating. Avg rating of your opponents + % of your score x 400 DON'T be confused. This is just your perf rating for that particular tnmt. It will not raise nor lower your actual rating by more than maybe 20-50 points depending on how many rated games you have played in since your first rated game. The point was, is that Levy could theoretically reach minimum 2500 ELO for GM and never have to play in a GM dominated tnmnt. I would do exactly that if I were him. IF you played 100 games with your opponents rated 2100 and scored 100% your perf rating would be 2500 and your actual rating would also be 2500.

If.

Okay but when did we ask

Thats extremely unlikely. He had a good tournament were he played weaker players.
