Ben is always amazing, but I have to admit, I sometimes miss the jokes about names, like "Marshall gambit was named after Mr Gambit" and such :-D

[@Deucely]

Capibaras have the perfect attitude to play chess.

I love Casablanca

This seems like the beginning of a beautiful lesson.

[@WastrelWay]

The anecdote about the two astronomers 500 years ago raises some interesting epistemological questions. Or maybe just one. It's not chess, anyway. Let's move on...

Oh man huge burn on Naka from that kid xD

[@jordanmcmorris5248]

If any piece goes to g7 it's a Fianchetto

[@germanchris4440]

To me, the Janowski-Capablanca position is an example of middlegame strategy. Not everything without queens has to be an endgame.

[@SevenTheJester]

I love that this kid just said, unironically, that the second best chess player

Great stuff

[@isaaccraft5977]

Kf7 is a draw because the knight can create a blockade on the Q-side. The king cant get in. Curiously the move Nf5 is losing because (while it trades pawns in the endgame) it gives white a monster passed pawn. @

[@grecuccionicola]

In the game , duras capa , can white play Ra8 Ke7 , Rh8 , then it’s posible to play g3 and h4

[@Jumper300035]

Casablanca is a real Gangster
