Pillsbury - Reinwald, Moscow Blindfold Simul, 1902

[@vertigosarrugados5977]

Finally a GM that shares an opinion I've had for years: Pillsbury is one of the greatest and most underrated players ever. You are amazing, Ben. Greetings from Spain, where you have a lot of fans at my local chess club.

[@memedemon2881]

Coming from an esteemed KZbin expert. Daily finegold has been my number one youtube moment of 2018

[@dannygjk]

I remember studying some of Pillsbury's games and being amazed at his apparent ability to sieve thru variations so well.

[@JeredL]

Awesome job keeping up with the walks!

[@FDPUCQyD88]

Thanks for the videos, Ben! I'd love it if you could do some videos on Judit Polgár and her best games or maybe some other great women in the chess world.

[@soulkingaizen9594]

Ben finegold vs agadmator I'm sure Ben would win but if they both would do a commentary on every move it qould be pretty epic.

[@cronaciadeloselotes558]

YONKO BEAST Thats correct. Finegold is way over his rating but at least it would be fun to listening to both.

[@thedananti]

Ben Finegold he runs a chess channel on KZbin

[@azimuthal1392]

nah, what we need is Finegold v Jerry...in three check

[@soulkingaizen9594]

Ben Finegold he is another youtuber who reviews chess as well. Ment it in no disrespect . just thought the colaberation would of been cool.

[@superant14]

This would be amazing

[@laurascott3483]

I appreciated Ben covering oldies but still goodies.

Alpha Zero vs Stockfish? Here is a short one on the French Defense, so Mr Gm Finegold does not need to make any more effort after the 30min walk. :D White: AlphaZero, Black: Stockfish 1. d4 e6 2. e4 d5 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. e5 Nfd7 5. f4 c5 6. Nf3 cxd4 7. Nb5 Bb4+ 8. Bd2 Bc5 9. b4 Be7 10. Nbxd4 Nc6 11. c3 a5 12. b5 Nxd4 13. cxd4 Nb6 14. a4 Nc4 15. Bd3 Nxd2 16. Kxd2 Bd7 17. Ke3 b6 18. g4 h5 19. Qg1 hxg4 20.

[@jimmimis6364]

Yay, GO BEN!

[@MrCupidd]

Unless I'm missing something after FXG4 QXP black has the shot RXP! and if QXR BG5.

[@henryvu116]

Yess Something!

[@NickKravitz]

Ben you didn't name the opening variation. 5.Bxf6 is called Anderssen's attack. You are correct it is inferior but has good surprise value. I am probably the only modern player to use it regularly.

[@Bugziller]

14. fxg4 was actually good move because after Qxg4 black plays: Rxf4 and if rook is captured then Bg5 and black wins

"Oreos are vegan."-Ben Finegold

[@nikihilbhamare5246]

Make a video on alpha zero

[@aj502]

Da Finegold-nator! :)

[@keedt]

you forgot about Fine, GM Finegold!

[@be1obi702]

I lost 102 pounds overall. Started off walking 60 minutes a day. Keep it up. Nothing else matters

[@LukeDelmarWebb]

Haha, yes the hardest part of being vegan, aside from losing all your friends (terrible), is definitely finding food at restaurants, if it isn't specified I feel like a soccer mom asking hundreds of questions.

[@not2tired]

Watched this whole video hoping for cake. Realized that hoping might be the real first step to failure.

[@Aizen343]

Oreos cant be vegan as the vanilla essence is exctracted from the beaver. 😂

[@eaglespiritlovecloud4729]

Nice

[@kthejoker]

I hope I can play as good as Black did against my next blindfolded GM ....

[@IanMcGarrett]

20 degrees? Fahrenheit? That's shorts weather here in Toronto.

[@blinkers88]

Well it's not in Atlanta, tough guy

[@ctt847]

GM Ben doesnt play chess he only wins at chess

[@user-hq2nm7zr5i]

second greatest American was Paul Morphy.

[@user-hq2nm7zr5i]

Yeah I figured it was just an honest mistake because I know you are a big Morphy guy.
