Beating the Queen's Gambit, with GM Nigel Short

[@asansfakeaccound5466]

i love how nigel short on the video is slowly dying from listening to our low elo ideas.

[@s.m.j.tayebi]

I would like to appreciate GM Short's gentle way of teaching this session.

[@chef2581]

We do too

[@_nemo171]

I'm not GM Finegold and you're not.

[@mario97br]

What if he reads it?

[@_nemo171]

@@mario97br I'm short of ideas

[@sigurdh.s8320]

«Incorrect!» - Ben Finegold, probably

[@pirds102010]

I am Nigel Short and you're nort

[@pirds102010]

​​@@sigurdh.s8320Maybe he was Ben Finegold until he wasn't. Trans chesser etc. Mainly etc. Trying is the first step to failure.

[@BobbyRunout_SmoothMoves]

That's so cool that you got someone that top level to come give a lecture at your club!

[@AdmatHakodesh]

The h5 moment was explained so well. Incredible stuff. Thanks for having the great NS and uploading this.

[@Matthew-bu7fg]

20:14 - the incredulity when he hears h4 get suggested 😂

[@kaspafischer]

Probably the worst move you could make in that position... 😂

[@f.d.3289]

or his revulsion when someone later suggests to push the f-pawn xD

[@paulgoogol2652]

Short is remarkable. Not all can deal with Bens tough students. This should be in Bens Wikipedia: "He who deals with the toughest students with a great deal of humor and pay-shhhhhh!-nce."

[@chef2581]

I'm just curious Let's see how GM Nigel Short would do with kids class of GM Ben

[@f.d.3289]

40:02 "You have to love your structure." daaamn Mr. Short that was a great way to put it

[@jonahzieske8834]

A couple of short games

[@chef2581]

20:11 "h4? h4?! Are you sure?!" The reaction was great 😅

[@newzild1]

Great to hear Nigel's thought processes as he guides the audience through various plans.

[@peterflom6878]

Fawlty Towers was one of the funniest shows in the history of TV

[@tolkienfan1972]

It was the very thing I thought of when I heard Torquay. Then Short mentioned Fawlty Towers. I've seen them so many times I've lost count. It never gets old

[@_nemo171]

Would you care for a rat?

[@tolkienfan1972]

Is not rat. I hhhamster!

[@tolkienfan1972]

Don't mention the war

[@mtp234]

Really cool game ideas being shown off. I don't mind the slow pace because I have time to think about the position (and still be bad at finding anything). Cool upload!

[@terryleddra1973]

Good old Nigel. Seen this before Ben posted this a few years ago.

[@Tophbbq]

Fantastic lecture

[@babrakoberma673]

Nigel has such good English. It is like a poem.

[@iwasonceanalian]

when someone on this level is teaching you chess, you listen and learn (hopefully lol), ty very much Nigel and geatings from a 1500 player from denmark

[@aigzo]

Probably one of the best chess lessons

[@bajnicestanko4047]

Thank you Ben, Thank you Nigel

[@Aphixx]

This isn't Ben! The truth hurts...

[@chef2581]

The only time that I'm happy it's not Ben

[@pastorofmuppets4552]

Wait, I’ve heard of this guy

[@tolkienfan1972]

Was it a short time ago? 😁

[@zainquadri1206]

Maybe, maybe not but if you don't know the game "Nigel Short's King March" you've definitely NOT heard of him... You have to know that game to have heard of him...

[@BobbyRunout_SmoothMoves]

Well, he WAS good enough to play Kasparov for the World Championship, although he came up rather short in the end. (God, the poor man must be SO tired of hearing variations on that)

[@Aphixx]

(That means he hasn't heard of him)

[@tolkienfan1972]

@@zainquadri1206 I knew Short before that game

[@ayushagrawal5807]

need more of him

[@baoboumusic]

24:15 spot on in accent and translation

[@danielcrase]

Remember Short is tall and Tal was short.

[@charliepenguingaming]

Nigel is going back to Britain with stories of Americans suggesting h4, f3, and f4, to his shock and horror

[@DiegoBilo]

it would have been much easier to follow and understand the game if he had made the arrows and the variant moves on the board.

[@rchoi]

That was great :)

[@King.Mark.]

got to draw with ben bot ,i could of winning but my pencil broke

[@AG-ld6rv]

Usually GM Finegold is the protagonist, but here, this evil evil man made GM Short stop giving his lecture!

[@jugglingbeast]

Short is actually more than 6 feet tall

[@ahrrydepp493]

Brother where is the canidates recap??? Please dont tell me you wont cover that

[@Al-gv5uw]

What was Ben thinking about Hikarus loss today

[@CrispyKorn]

British chess players eh ?

[@George_Bland]

I think this audience might have needed a beginner’s guide to chess 😅

[@cengizeren366]

epic ending, god 🎉

[@sorpresasfelicidad8314]

Ben look a little bit different this video.

[@danjeory3659]

Love Nigel, but by the time he finishes asking if you'd like a cup of tea, it's time for cocoa instead 😂

[@AboveAvgMan]

Bens evil twin brother

[@babrakoberma673]

Pán Profesor Šort ;-)

[@velkykoblyh8065]

Cože?🤨

[@Al-gv5uw]

What’s crazy about being English is Fe fi fo fum means absolutely nothing to anyone from any other country so strange to imagine.

[@Al-gv5uw]

And it’s like our language and everyone in the world is speaking it now and not very well I will add

[@Al-gv5uw]

Really the worst lingua Franca too because it’s so subtle and nuanced so many words. It’s almost impossible to have a conversation with anyone now that the iq is dropping to zero or lower. Sad state of affairs

[@douglaslarosa8782]

I liked how none of your comments where relevant to anyone, so here I am to give you the attention you deserve: *keep waiting in English*

[@moonlightiguana]

Fawlty Towers? No, this is the pinnacle of British comedy! Just kidding.

[@ahrrydepp493]

Where gm ben who is this guy

[@chef2581]

Boo! Why would you comment it instead of searching it? Learn some manners too..

[@StoshGalumpke]

Yikes !

[@TheSummersilk]

Keep crying.

[@professorjessen]

Unwatchable. Literally. Gesturing at potential moves on a room display we can't see ... is unwatchable.

[@humpy322]

I vomited a bit in my mouth watching NS, don't do that again please

[@monsignorjames]

You chose to watch it, he's even in the title.

[@chef2581]

​@@monsignorjamesobviously it's a hater situation

[@Jonathan7555-d8b]

Tell your bf to not thrust so hard.

[@MrMorlaf]

what a horrible talker. i watch at x1.5 speed. his chess is sound. a lot better than mine ever will be. but he is a terrible speaker 😞

[@GuntherVerheugen]

He is quite good when he drinks, but here he is too slow.
