[@NiculaRobert]

I lost 15 kilograms because there were no more Ben lectures to watch.Now that I'm not depressed anymore, finally I feel the need to eat again.

[@scottecooke]

Nicula Robert I don't get it. Tell me your secret.

[@Spiritbro77]

Great to see GM Finegold back lecturing in St. Louis. Hope he stays a while. I always enjoy his lectures here on KZbin. He bring a great sense of humor to the subject. Thanks for posting another fine video and GM Finegold thanks for another fine lecture! keep them coming!!!!

[@Schwarzwaldkind]

Don't blame me on looking these great lectures from my couch but travelling from Cologne to St Louis is a bit far ;)

[@einfachmallos6183]

Fin(e)ally the King is back.

[@Dooban]

Finegold is the best lecturer!

[@jetpaq]

THIS is the lecture that got my SUBScription..! lol I realize now I cannot live without finegold.LOL you really make chess fun bro.. hope my daughter can meet you one day!

[@jasondoe2596]

Ben's awesome as always :D

[@sarkastisksallad]

I've waited way too long for this :>

[@kevinmcgrath1052]

Great enthusiasm for the subject ... I hope to see more lectures like this

[@diosn6909]

Great endgame lecture! Finegold is a good teacher and really funny!

[@dmaster20ify]

Thank you again Mr. Finegold. The more I become a hardworking Chess player and less lazy, the more I appreciate your coaching. Most importantly you taught me something completely completely completely completely new, which will add to my ability to evaluate positions. You taught me that in opposite coloured bishops endings, where the stronger side has 2 pawns to none, it's generally a win if the pawn are far apart, and draw if the pass are close together. When I thought I new everything about endgames.

[@betz7600]

bbbvvgggvvvy try

[@augustsbautra]

Classic Finegold with "c4 is explosive". Glad to have him back.

[@Ninnoa]

Welcome back Ben!

[@muskaka1268]

at last---ben is back

[@antonioscalzo1178]

Finally he has come back to Saint Louis. His videos are awesome sauce!!!!!

[@romainleonardy9380]

I would come to the Club, sadly I am 5000 miles away :(

[@edsondes.esilva7998]

What is the chess software used here?

[@TheStupidLama]

BOY was he right about the viewers of the video xD I actually just finished terrible food, had my Sprite Soda drink next to me, leaned back and watched the lecture xD thx for making me feel bad, Ben! .. I mean of course Grandmaster Finegold (proper respect)

[@MainlineNovelty]

6:58 Joke's on you Ben, I'm drinking Perrier

[@ALEXANDERGMS11]

Arjen is killing it ! Bens so funny with him good fun for chess learning

[@elbay2]

Entertaining and educational!

[@imastephen]

YEEHAWWWWWW FINEGOLD

[@ericm6430]

Is Ronen Har-Zvi ever coming back? He's my absolute favorite.

[@Greenbear41]

I would love to come to the club and watch your great lecture, however, I live in Florida.

[@Thaumazo83]

GM Finegold now works in Atlanta, GA

[@N0lico]

Nice GM Finegold, but don't forget that some of us are a bit far away - like 10 000 km (6200 miles) or so...

[@Youtube_Globetrotter]

That's not a legal reason not to show up, oh wait it's because I can't come for the same reason. -Terrible. I hate when that happens

[@bosonichadron1]

@7:20 It's actually the same Guinness. The beer company developed and sold a world records book as a conversation piece for coffee tables in order to promote their beer.

[@KC-zz2ih]

Nope.

[@good_opinion_haver]

@7:20, I think Guinness World Records originated from Guinness Brewing...

now let's call a random person >>>> julian and then for the second time now let's call a random person >>>> julian

[@TheJeppesk]

6:05 with a pizza on my plate and a beer in my hand, I feel personally attacked.

[@adamcunningham8248]

man i'm eating grapes, and drinking water, and I'm miles away. Wish i could be there...

[@ItsIrmenli]

fuck yeah first comment! ben finegold is the man, wouldhangoutwith/10 also sad nobody gets his jokes but I do :c

[@TheKemmist]

+ItsIrmenli I was wondering that myself! Everytime he told a joke, I would laugh, but the audience seemed silent! Great videos!

[@steelyspielbergo]

Welcome home, Fabiano

[@johnanthony6092]

_"Just sitting on your couch, eating that terrible food, drinking your sugary drinks..."_ Grandmaster Finegold accurately predicting England in August 2022! 😳 😞

[@CesarDainezi]

3:00 OMG a Rush's 2112 joke! Go Ben!

[@MedicalNemesis]

The meek shall inherit the earth is a bible quote that Rush used for their song. Great song though.

[@CesarDainezi]

@@MedicalNemesis Cool, didn't know that. I guess that's because I never read the bible.

[@juanjuzgadoibiza558]

There was a grandmaster, from the romantic era of chess, that said that if the game arrived to an endgame it was because the players played badly, they should have checkmated their opponent in the middlegame!!

[@otakurocklee]

Can someone explain the joke at 6:04? I'm curious.

[@otakurocklee]

Leelee Phoenix ah... lol! thx. I knew the green with envy expression, but the joke still totally went over my head.

[@lakers24kobebr]

Leelee Phoenix Could u explain the putting an inch one? it's driving me nuts 6:39

[@aesa1990]

I was eating fried chicken with mushroom rice and 7up.... Ben saw that coming...

[@parththakkar9383]

Trying is the first step to failure. So what do you do? Never try!!!

[@aaab6054]

8:35 The right pawn could be worth more than a piece. I think your students are smart to not overlook that they are also forking the pawn, but I'm not a GM.

[@samuelallan7452]

In late endgame yes, in this position any of the pawns is worth less than a piece

[@MrCupidd]

After bxe4 nxb qxq nf2 ch also wins but it's probably better to keep queens on the board

[@airbnbguide3308]

Julian became famous all over the word

[@Thaumazo83]

Arjun is famous too :-)

[@RK-dk5vt]

Yay!

[@fess04]

Hey.........Hey.............I resemble that remark : )

[@forceview3]

44:21 wouldnt Nxe4 win?

[@princeoreo7652]

I am Sean if N×e4 the Q×Q gives black a little advantage

[@diesif9145]

27:09 I DID NOT!!!!

[@samuelrosenbalm]

16:35...not anymore he wouldn't.

[@snak9742]

C4 is explosive LOL

[@oaw972]

A4 was the right move though, or rook d5.

[@MrCupidd]

Actually the king and rook pawn would probably win in that position. Lisa would say never mind

[@evoun96]

6:43 Ben you are the one who needed to exercise. Not us ./.

[@IfNedWereHere]

Purple!

[@henricx1]

Mr Finegold I think you have a very recurrent fanbase so we get used to your references and jokes, you should somehow enlarge your repertoire

[@matteopriotto5131]

Berlin is actually closer to France than Italy

[@prahasct]

Funniest GM!

[@craig7102]

if this couch potato would have known about the club being close to wash u and siteman, i would have came by, come to find out that we stayed about 3 blocks away from the club i didn't find this out until i watched the us championship this year otherwise it;s3.5 hrs to get to ST.Louis i would like to visit the museum also

[@sabahdeanatassi8292]

******* Ben I live to far from saint Louis ): HAH I win😊

[@houcklauren]

knife f5! lol

[@mattbell5602]

Whatever, I’m eating Waffle House on the couch with barely sweetened coffee watching this

[@rickresendiz1871]

Too many jokes. Constantly stopping to tell a joke. It adds time.

[@watteau6646]

yeah, too bad b/c he has all that GM knowledge and he's just cracking wise. Wish he'd slow down and try to instruct more.

[@watteau6646]

Finegold is entertaining, but I really wish he would try to instruct more than be funny. Half the time he's asking obvious questions to Arjen (a kid) or cracking jokes, the other half he's whizzing through important moves I wish he would slow down and explain. Oh well, no more Ben for me.

[@zoiuduu]

i dont like this guy,

[@dusanmijatovic7913]

Very interesting !

[@zoiuduu]

Dragan Mijatović he have not humility

[@dusanmijatovic7913]

Has. Yes, but he is very instructive and he is just kidding, he isn't that arrogant.

[@zoiuduu]

Dragan Mijatović he has no humility,,,, thx for correcting me ... sometimes he said "if u guys cant solve this, u should be in beginners breakdown" he talks about beginners like they are too dumb and deserve no respect

[@dusanmijatovic7913]

Those are just jokes, and he's working on those "beginners" but ya, sometimes even I don't like that approach.

[@gtrmusic69]

The endless self praising get a little tiring. Guy is padding him self on the back, one form or another, in almost EVERY sentence. Yuck........

[@watteau6646]

He's obviously kidding, but yeah, it gets old. They pay this GM to instruct. Wish he would slow down and explain the "why" of moves instead of whizzing past a series of important moves, and then cracking jokes for 1 minute straight about an obvious knight fork.
