Middlegames of the 2016 U.S. Championship - GM Ben Finegold 

underrated: he perfectly calls the 1, 2, and 3rd place finishes of Fabi, So, and Naka

finegold is the best part of this channel

i want a movie about ben finegold with jonah hill as ben finegold

I only watch this channel for tournaments and Finegold lectures.

1. Caruana, 2. So, 3. Nakamura... he's pretty good at predicting the obvious.

Cant get enough of this Finegold dude

Was laughing already within the first 20 seconds of the video

ben's back.. I'm so glad

Haven't even watched the video..but BEN is back!!!!!!!!! Awesome!

Those flowers are very suspicious.

I wished I could take a class from GM Finegold. He can keep your attention from wandering off on different lines by making his line the most interesting. A true teacher!

Ben is back!

ben is still the best chess commentator in the world. Thank you Rex Sinquefield! Sometimes I worry that the reason we don't see Ben much from time to time is that Republican megadonor Rex buries Ben down in the vault for Ben's vegetarian liberal ways.

Twice a week! This is Great!

Welcome back, Ben! Let's see you back on Twitter, too.

Can't wait to see more of ya Ben. You're obviously hilarious and entertaining. Also you present insightful ideas in chess I wouldn't otherwise learn or see. Great lecture!

Wohoo, mr. Finegold!

Ben is Back Baby! 3 months absence..... TERRIBLE!

The bishop can't dance at two weddings (19 min). Classic finegold

Woo Hoo he's back!!!!!!!!!!!!

That game by Fabi versus Hikaru was amazing.

it's nice to see Ben being ecstatic

love it how the intro is him rubbing his face

Amazing video!

I want to watch these games with ben as a commentator

I.Love.Ben.Finegold

this guy is hilarious!

The game of the tournament was definitely So-Akobian. I know this was made before that game, but please make a video about it.

Yeeee ben is back!!

best intro ever

Is it a coincidence I watched this lecture today and at the end Ben said “Mamba out”

Show them So-Akobian! That game was spectacular!

Hes back!!!

Ty or taking some, well... just a real little more effort: Thank you, for posting

The intro is saying "I'm back. Damn it!"

please, please, please do a video on the French defense.... please

please can somebody recommend the video where ben has shown a nice trap in french defence exchange variation

yaaaaaaaaas

FINALLY BEENN

I found gold!

Ben ben ben ben!

Ben!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ben is a fucking legend!!

hes baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Let's exchange some pieces, let's take a free rook... and let's get checkmated :)

I'm sure he actually wanted to say 'Ben is back, bytches!' :D

I want to play this guy and smoke whatever he's smokin, he'd kick my ass but it would be fun

What, NO dont go away again, come on man you were born to do this , we all agreee , you teach something that can be very boring ( well not for us ) and you make it fun and funny ( an extra for us ) so talk to that man with the big wallet and tell him that I would like the 1 % a little more if they keep finegold on the pay roll .

25:34

why not Ndxf6 instead of queen takes?? at 12:58

Jokes were notorious in this video.

Finegold is best - fuck the rest!

GM, Nakamura, Toyota ... lol

most distracting plant NA

is he missing a tooth?

Chrysler, Toyota, Nakamura... your jokes are going over my head Ben. Dumb it down a bit.

Akobian got buuuuurned

I came

checkmate me daddy

What is Finegold doing what looks like two black eyes!!!!!!!

It seems to me that Ben is a bit butt hurt that Akobian was in the tournament and he wasn't. It he's purposefully pointing out games and situations where Var made mistakes and poking a bit of fun at him. You both are great at instructional chess videos and often work for the same employer....just left a bad taste in my mouth. Ben seems like the kind of guy who believes in trying to make himself look better by trying to tear down the competition rather than bringing himself up to their level...perhaps he needs a beginner lesson in modesty?
