@@whatwewantAItodo He was making a joke about what she called him in her intro. It's a running joke between them as they'e known each other a long time and are good friends. But, yes. It's Finegold.
Long time no see!! How have you all been?! Just challenged the unltimate King of Trash Talk Grandmaster Ben Finestein!! Let me know if you enjoyed the collab! 🚀🙌
The confidence and effortlessness with which Ben rolls over other masters while making good jokes... this guy's my role model. Never resign, always retreat, c4 is explosive, etc. But mostly et cetera.
'Knife f5' I like the kid lectures the best. 'You in the back with some crazy comment.' There is a kid obsessed with Hikaru who says his name like hickory. Hick-uh-roo. So cute.
For those interested in the protest: Randy Bauer, president of the USCF, belittled female chess players who reported sexual assault, and doubled down when asked to reconsider. So Ben quit the USCF. A heavy topic for a fun video, so I can see why he didn't elaborate on camera.
And what about those not interested in the protest, why do you have to single them out? Edit: Good lord; It was an intentionally dense comment for comedic purpose, not an actual question. Why should we be taking ourselves so seriously in the comment section of a RU-vid video?
I played 2 games in Atlanta against his son, Spencer. The first game I lost in an endgame where he found a sacrifice into a knight fork. The second game, I just lost all of my pieces in about 15 moves
She started really well. It's funny that Ben was extremely concentrated on the game at frist. He could only unleash his trash talk when his position got better...
Definitely, he was concentrating. But she made the mistake of trash talking, because when she was nice she was winning lol, the second she started trash talking she lit Ben’s secret weapon, his dry wit. From that point on she was toast 😂
THIS! More of THIS and fewer 'shorts'. THIS is the good stuff! Also, 5:45 'pedantic' = "excessively concerned with minor details or rules; overscrupulous."
@@DinaBelenkayaI'm not him, but if you're interested, I'll share my opinion: shorts are a nice medium to get new viewers to your channel and they are quite entertaining. Having said that: I don't like to spend my time watching shorts - they feel shallow and are forgettable, also RU-vid is extremely packed with them. In contrast: Videos like this video have less dense content, but feel way more natural. In your case, I think they allow for a more genuine feel for your personality which I personally like to see/shine. That being said: I think both formats have their own right to exist
Ben never did anything wrong, those streamers just started trashing him and lying about him for no reason. Calling Ben an "elitist gatekeeper" is the most ridiculous thing ever if you consider how much Ben has done to popularize and teach chess, I've never been so mad.
@@sublimeade I'm just learning about this now too. Dropping a link below. Seems like xqc (which Ben mispronounces as qvc) got shit-talked by Ben. Probably because xqc was the #1 chess streamer for a while even though he's rated sub 1000. A lot of GMs were not happy about that for obvious reasons and some went on to insult him. Xqc called them gatekeepers. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wj43vAaID5M.html
Shoutout to Ben at 5:50 for saying he didn't know what pedantic meant, referencing when I used the word without knowing what it meant after winning in Trivial Pursuit.
I subscribed before, I think it's still active. You're an awesome chess player! GM Finegold shows that age doesn't matter when it comes to Chess! I've watched this video before. I can't believe he's banned!
Well white won from the opening with them pawns built up like that but did not perform the attack under the pawns which costed you the game and it looked like you had plenty of time and chances under there to get it done, white could had played 2800 up to 3200 elo and under them pawns or pieces short or long distance to go from side to side up n down an back around from to the attack is my theory which could be and is many variations of it, if it can be performed is my jbird theory since 1977❤😊
