GM Ben Finegold Survives Another Viewer Game Analysis

[@jogzyg2036]

The best game of this stream was the guy who wrote a long essay about how his coach told him to stop playing b3 and then d4 so he played d4 and then b3

[@GMBenjaminFinegold]

Agreed. I’m uploading that one tomorrow! - Ben’s Editor

[@WindMageLoL]

That was hysterical and I'm glad I got to see that live.

[@MislavIvkovic-sx8vd]

​@@GMBenjaminFinegoldthis is nuts 128 moves on torture😂😂😂😂

[@MrTheStephReal]

"Survives" doesn't do the man's suffering justice

[@gm2407]

My favourite part is when Ben says he is not sure who is playing for the win. Best put down in the whole video. Both players served a hot roast.

[@SenatorBluto]

OMG 85 more moves. 😆😅🤣😂

[@sesanti]

Lesson is never lose on time.

[@baoboumusic]

6:31 Hahaha that's an epic burn: "There is no good news. The bad news is we have 85 more moves" 😂😂😂

[@WastrelWay]

"I hope you guys learned something." No. Nothing. Nada. Zip.

[@MischaTal-t1r]

Truly a rollercoaster of emotion how white went from being up a rook, to being down material, to being up an exchange.

[@vigilante8374]

The real rollercoaster of emotion here is watching as Ben struggles to decide whether or not to bite into the cyanide capsule that's hidden in his top right rear molar.

[@askthepizzaguy]

I feel like this is Ben trying to convince both Karen and the audience to not make him have to analyze any more viewer games. Only he doesn't have to make that argument in any way, besides analyze this game. The chess speaks for itself.

[@MrBonified66]

Their indolence was inefficacious.

[@nudelsuppe2090]

Its not like the moves were all terrible, its just that there was not a single good move played in the game

[@OctalInfinity]

the players moved their pieces that game that's for sure

[@harestileheep9312]

Poor Ben, this stuff must hurt his eyes.

[@askthepizzaguy]

Viewer Game analysis, without even seeing the video yet: Stockfish probably said white blundered away the game. Then black blundered away the game. Then white blundered, then black blundered, this goes on for fifty more moves, and eventually one side blundered so bad that the win was basically forced. How close was I?

[@askthepizzaguy]

I guessed fifty more moves, but apparently, I underestimated the blundering contest by almost double that amount. Also, both sides kept blundering so badly that no one won until the clock decided someone had to lose. I underestimated the bad by a lot, which is pretty impressive given how pessimistic my initial guess was.

[@Hilltycoon]

Perfect vid to watch during dinner, thanks Ben

[@givepeaceachance940]

I had only question after this game: am I the wood pusher??

[@kmarasin]

I audibly said "Oh my God NO!" in a library, when Ben said there were 85 moves left. JFC and so forth.

[@totalmonkeyspeed260]

How are those players in the 1400's? Are they just trying to trigger Ben?

[@ash9788]

My condolences.

[@petermccafferty9230]

This is one of the worst games you've ever shown, maybe THE worst

[@Abaddont]

Woodpushers 😂

[@anosmianAcrimony]

Amazing... I think I actually got worse at chess watching this

[@jakelink1482]

Not sure who's playing for a win had me dieing and idk why

[@bluefire6470]

This game was amazing

[@nickmeyer1030]

While I love Ben and appreciate the humor, I would actually appreciate some helpful analysis on what WOULD be good moves, particularly in that opening.

[@scowell]

Then you don't want to watch viewer games. 'That opening' wasn't an opening... it left the book after two moves or so.

[@ribbonsofnight]

I think he said make active moves not passive moves and don't blunder your pieces, block your pieces or move your queen to f8.

[@SnowFlameSupremacy]

How to be better? Don't be a wood pusher!

[@threegon]

I love the thumbnails 👌

[@kmarasin]

It's terrible. No one tries to do anything for 100+ moves, then someone wins by accident (or on time.) There's nothing to analyze, no one's trying to do anything. Woodpushers is a correct interpretation of the game. This is turning into "guess the ELO" and 1400 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too high.

[@andrewcady8827]

If you call that surviving

[@glum_hippo]

Was it worth posting this on KZbin? I want my 12 minutes back

[@iandelmore8376]

I learned never to play them

[@user-pl6hc4kj1o]

Still theory.

[@seanwashburn3658]

Hilarious -- as usual

[@paulgoogol2652]

I don't know who teaches beginners to play exchange french but he is wrong and he is a troll. probably you shouldn't promote the dullest opening ever to teach people how boring chess can be. if you do it, use early c4 or something like that. who enjoys dull games of piece trading where it takes a genious to come up with a plan that is not ridiculous.
