Famous GM Blunders

[@joeysingingchannel]

Ah yes, Grandmaster Blunders, my favorite GM.

[@Censeo]

He's not so famous, cause I haven't heard of him

[@jw41538]

Took him forever to earn his norms.

[@user-yc3tf4wz2x]

Ah yes, he was the guy that "bunder" was named after

[@f.d.3289]

I prefer the famous grandmaster Mister Countergambit.

[@WarnMyrrh]

Who r u? GM Ben Finegold?

[@RhysticStudies]

52:52 a perfect example of why Ben makes for such a strong lecturer.

[@Chris.4345]

whoah! big fan. hoping to see more “The Art of…” from your channel. You’re awesome. Thanks for the beautiful content.

[@askthepizzaguy]

Your lectures seriously are the best, Grandmaster Finegold. The perfect mix of entertaining, knowledgeable and informative.

[@lukacalov1988]

8:20 the longer you think about it and dont get it the happier Karpov is Hahahaha

"I was tired." Karpov back then on his blunder against Christiansen.

[@LesterBrunt]

Not resigning is so true. You know how many games I won after blundering my queen? Often when you blunder your queen at the 1,000 level your opponent gets so comfortable that there is a very real chance they’ll blunder their own queen away in a couple of moves. Another thing that happens often is they win your queen and then they think “oh boy this means I can checkmate” and they think waaaay too long trying to find some mate and you still win the game on time.

[@quelqunx7470]

In 3+0 I'm like 2000 lichess and won a game where I blunder my queen then I trap the opponents queen.

[@MrHeroicDemon]

KZbin clan, 1 year ago, thank you. 22:50

[@boydparks8716]

I am just now discovering these wonderful lectures presented by GM. Finegold. I find his teaching style very through and at times classically comical,and I love the feedback, knowledge, and the enthusiasm of the young up and coming players.

[@KeystoneHeavy58]

That Bacrot blunder is something else. First, he didn't even take a pawn or anything, it's just 9 points of material down the drain in one move. Second, its not even a move that forces black to pause and wonder if there is some tactic, because he made that move with check and black only has 4 legal moves to consider. It's not a check with your opponents only legal move being to deliver mate in 1, but it's as perfect a blunder as you'll ever see in a GM game.

[@knightrider585]

It's like Stripunsky thought he had already moved his knight defending his bishop so he forgot that he undefended it when the knight retreated.

[@Gab-pu1yi]

Your engine says; “you had never play a good game, all your wins are because your opponents played worser than you”

[@GaryTheGray]

I loved the fact that this video was informative and fun. I found myself going back in the video a few times. Thank you.

[@lumko1492]

Man GM Ben’s jokes are too good 😭🤣🤣

[@stephenh9483]

We love Ben's lecture,s keep it coming!

[@CryOfTheLyrebird]

“Plays Qe7, check…” *stares perfectly bewildered into camera 🎥 🤨

[@TheYangsterX]

How did he know I was watching this three years later???

[@anonymousAJ]

Qd1 fork was pretty obvious IMO ... If you know there's a winning tactic that early you rule out checks and smother mates it's got to be picking up a piece

[@firippumartinezu1782]

For being so famous, I've never heard of GM Blunders. I wonder if his title is legitimate.

[@ilanpi]

Petrosian-Bronstein 1956, a blunder that defined a career.

[@TheBigGuppy]

First game that came to my mind was Nisipeanu vs Ivanchuk at the FIDE knockout World Championship. Vassily threw away a bishop on move 13.

[@katkisedpikslid]

Gm hanging a full queen in one move, wow

[@trent797]

Ben, do you have any contact with Larry Christiansen? He was quite a force back in the day, and I also loved his commentary on the ICC in the early 2000s. Would be great to see a Great Players episode on him.

[@maverick-mma]

Anand vs Kasparov - 1996, Zapata vs Anand - Biel 1988 etc. Maybe there can be a Part 2 of this!

[@AkilanNarayanaswamy]

So many of these blunders were the first move I was thinking of lol

[@sorgi9]

Classic GM Ben Absolutely hilarious accessible and instructive

[@sleeponthefloor9622]

One of my favorite chess videos to date, all streamers included.

[@112chess]

THANKS FOR ALL THE JOKES AND OH YES CHESS LESSON.

[@brimmed]

deep fritz is a pretty badass name

[@jamesmorphe8003]

blunders are the strong part of my game.

[@bobdole7292]

I thought this was going to be all Nepo from last wcc Er I mean, yay. Carlsen nepo round 2

[@jonnieduka4442]

I've been here 10 days after video release. Hello to those who will watch it 3 years later whose probably going to be me again for sure

[@zachhaywood1564]

Surprised to not see when Fischer blundered in Game 1 of the 1972 WCC.

[@gkhnglbrn5126]

Ty very much from Turkey :)

[@FF-wl1oo]

9:43 yess. I've been learning chess for like 3 weeks and I found that move, although not as fast as Karen did. Took me a good few minutes.

[@grahamdugan]

“Why’d you go here?!!” The guy’s like “I’m sorry” Bahahahahhahahah

[@SeanLynchXY]

Thanks!

[@connorsnyder6679]

subbed, you explain stuff very well

[@davidyoung6331]

(Bacrot) He didn't realize that he was losing to the knight on the "back row". Funny, but I don't think he meant to say a pun. Did anyone else catch it?

[@chamhancham3915]

Bacrot...(do not pronounce the T)... back row (back rank)... frenglish word joke

[@lukacalov1988]

16:49 classic Finegold joke

[@vgamerul4617]

Me: oh wow how did they miss that Also me: hangs king queen knight rook and the pawn I lost 3 moves ago simultaneously...

[@paulchantrell7480]

My internet is unstable so i am not going to watch the rest ,but i was enjoying it.

[@allenpeteti9891]

Your such a good teacher , very useful thanks 👍

[@kaasslejandro]

Does anyone know what game is he talking about at minute 1:15 where black blunders his queen but does not resign?

[@elliotdubois14]

Tough day to be Vladimir kramnick

[@mrfewtheaquariumdude12]

[@sniffableandirresistble]

I hate when I'm watching porn on my phone and I get a KZbin notification from "GMBenjaminFinegold" which more often than not blocks out a key moment in the scene I'm watching but also conjures up images of Ben thus practically annihilating my arousal, otherwise I look forward to the notifications. ... haha 🤣

[@Kyle-xk2rb]

Wtf?

[@katkisedpikslid]

Very suspicious

[@strangelyrepulsive77]

good job on using a good mic!

[@Compassiron1]

Us here in KZbin land it was 1 year ago. Get it right Ben

[@georgetropicana9317]

A knight on the rim is dim someone tell Karpov 😭

[@zyffe]

Hey Ben! Just wanted to say that if you blunder - I care

[@Flight368]

Wait, but wasn't there an option for Karpov to play ...Bxa3 and get a compensation of two pawns for a knight? That's not so bad, considering the fork after Bxb2

[@victorraphals-kath2097]

after Bxa3 you just take the bishop

[@cchit13]

Ok that's a reupload

[@sandeepr7141]

I am not here for chess. I am here for the jokes.

[@Ortherionn]

Almost 3 years ago :D good guess.

[@jeffreyfisher3115]

Kramnik sad he couldn't report Deep Fritz as a cheater.

[@michael2244]

There's a whole Twitter account for these things too: twitter.com/Gmblunders

[@woundhealer8098]

you are very funny 😂😂😂

[@fireballxl-5748]

Uh...I didn't miss it. Got it 3 seconds before Karen. Well, even before Ben said, "always retreat". Just before. Yes it's true I was never validated as a child. : )

[@twopaypal_f1]

first one i'm gonna say queen d1

[@twopaypal_f1]

damn, i'm a genius.

[@robertomariani626]

55:30 finegold loses again, ahah, fun complaint!

[@ABronyNamedBurnie]

Yeah this isn't that impressive, I blunder like this every game!

[@MrFrazerz]

I’m new to chess and I saw QD1 immediately. I’m surprised others in your class didn’t see it.

[@adamanonymous6885]

I think genuinely this is a position where (up to about 1600ish) the stronger you are as a player, the harder it is to find the very simple fork Moving the queen back to it's starting square is so counter-intuitive positionally that your chess-brain just filters it out as a possibility I think :)

[@MrFrazerz]

@@adamanonymous6885 For me in mid and beginning game, I just look for any weaknesses (hung pieces).

[@RobBCactive]

@@MrFrazerz when you develop strategic play, you're more likely to focus on other things, especially when opponents don't often hang pieces. Having loose pieces should alert to tactical likelihoods, but "gifts" need that change of thought process or they often are spurned

[@MrFrazerz]

@@RobBCactive Looks like that strategic focus didn't lead towards the right direction, huh?

[@RobBCactive]

@@MrFrazerz you don't win against non-beginners without it
