Anand vs. Topalov | World Championship 2010 - GM Ben Finegold

[@sooooooooDark]

ben delivers fine gold once again!

[@p1nesap]

Best commentary, humor and insight.

[@levsedmak8324]

SO FKN TRUE, MAN! SWINEGOLD JUST RULES, HAHAHA!

[@pradeepbhai007]

Ben rocks again ...

[@-_Nuke_-]

I like how alien all these GM moves in chess look to someone like me that is around 1200, but after someone indicates and explains (like Ben beautifully does) all the ideas behind these moves, they make perfect sense and they are actually most of the times, pretty simple ideas and generally simple chess. Not trying to think 100 moves ahead like a machine does - because you are not playing a machine, so that's unnecessary. But it takes a lot of good tactics and good chess knowledge, to play like a super GM. These guys make it look simple, it's amazing.

[@Blaisem]

I suspect when you play for hours every day over many decades, a lot of the tactics and game patterns come naturally without needing to think. So even though the ideas are simple, there's a lot of them, and the super GMs have burned them all into their memory. But I'm not a super GM so what do I know.

Congrats on 50k subs! Excellent lecture as always Ben!

[@Joslinmeister]

More GM Finegold videos!

[@gunsimar]

yaaay ben is back :)

[@thechessnerd]

I’m a 2000 rated player and still am very impressed with his teaching👏👏👏👏 good stuff

[@RobBCactive]

Actually this is one of the most enlightening Finegold videos! I really enjoyed this one, despite it being a boring Slav 😁

[@cfujimori]

I'd like to see a Finegold lecture on pulling out draws from easy to lose positions

[@DampLover]

I loved that comment "World championship matches often feature black trying to draw and white trying to win. And there´s exceptions when Kasparov and Fisher were playing world championship matches." But those two played on a level over SGM´s.

[@jayyy5270]

Ben doesn't care what anyone says. Ben doesn't care what anyone thinks. He just does Ben. That's that good stuff.

[@RayT70]

Well done. Thumbs up.

[@12jswilson]

"We talk about super GMs a lot. 'That guy's tall; that guy's ugly; that guy doesn't smell good.' That covers about all of them." Hahahaha. I guess Kramnik and Short smell just fine.

[@kunalbanerjee7114]

RAWR!!!!!!!!!

[@MrHypocrism]

25:30 - I considered e5, the bishop being unable to take because of the discovered check!

[@Sajidkhan-xi4bn]

it always gimme that feelin that ben is like frustrated kid who was no.1 fan of anand like many of us i guess

[@MrMariogrcic]

i never thought i be that person but u see this vast nothingness and u stare at it knowing u are..... FIRST!

[@MCMasters4ever]

50.000 Subs!

[@BongelaMnguni]

Lol this man is so funny and I'm glad he does not beat about the bush. It's really annoying when these top GMs play the same long and boring opening lines over and over again, especially when they scratch their heads during a game trying to remember the moves instead of using their own thick skulls. arg, Terrible

[@Mighty1Bob]

love the deadpan humour!

[@ayechanpaing6949]

feels like Ben is reading out lout an essay.

[@milijan-mosic]

Castling maybe? White? :D

[@dusanmijatovic7913]

Ben always says : Never play Bd2

[@liam314]

Great lecture as always Ben. Congrats on losing so much weight man, good for you! Did you finally realize your 3rd mistake in life... not being a real vegetarian ;)

[@malachickisawesome]

Nice

[@Manwlatsi]

[@Milan-cz9hf]

Who is anand and who is topalov?

[@dusanmijatovic7913]

70K subs !!!!

[@bigbrother5024]

I hope even elite chess players keep blundering, that's what makes an interesting game as not every bad move results in an instant loss. So +1 for more rapid ~25min time control, or the engine generation will play perfect games with Berlin defense .. yawn.

[@SteveRunciman]

Has Yasser left the club? He's no longer giving private lessons, I notice. Say it ain't so!!!!!!!!!!!

[@femioyekan8184]

Anand was the undisputed world champion in 2010. Kramnik unified the title by beating Topalov in 2006.

[@SyncChrome]

Good lecture, but incredibly boring game imo.

[@wanderer3561]

Ben doesn't like Anand's style of play

[@levsedmak8324]

EVEN MY WIFE SAYS SWINEGOLD HAS SOME PIGLET TYPE OF CUTENESS! HIS GOITER IS THE CUTEST!

[@skkoloa]

This guy tries way too hard to be funny
