I Challenged The Famous Chess Grandmaster BEN FINEGOLD

[@toaster4693]

Finally a man who doesn't quake in his boots when confronted with Dina's personality.

her personality? You mean her insecurity

"I'm the oldest." "Who's move is it?" Ben is hilarious 🤣

[@astroelephants]

I love how Ben pretends to acts slow and unable to multitask with Dina's trashtalk, then completely demolishes her once he got bored pretending

[@FrankBakulov]

I lose to my students all the time, I'm a great teacher, - another immortal from Ben

[@Daniel-qx6bg]

That's the most double-edged chess comment I've ever heard. Brilliant!

[@PauIdenino]

Must make a teacher proud to lose to their student

[@Neruomir]

A student is supposed to surpass the master eventually anything else is a bad teacher, a hopeless student or in worst case both.

[@DrugzMunny]

The confidence and effortlessness with which Ben rolls over other masters while making good jokes... this guy's my role model. Never resign, always retreat, c4 is explosive, etc. But mostly et cetera.

I played Ben in Atlanta once. He cooked me in about 20 moves. He said that he was surprised I lasted so long. LOL

[@aarons3014]

For those interested in the protest: Randy Bauer, president of the USCF, belittled female chess players who reported sexual assault, and doubled down when asked to reconsider. So Ben quit the USCF. A heavy topic for a fun video, so I can see why he didn't elaborate on camera.

[@schizophrenicenthusiast]

And what about those not interested in the protest, why do you have to single them out? Edit: Good lord; It was an intentionally dense comment for comedic purpose, not an actual question. Why should we be taking ourselves so seriously in the comment section of a KZbin video?

[@Sjorezz]

She started really well. It's funny that Ben was extremely concentrated on the game at frist. He could only unleash his trash talk when his position got better...

[@soakedbearrd]

Definitely, he was concentrating. But she made the mistake of trash talking, because when she was nice she was winning lol, the second she started trash talking she lit Ben’s secret weapon, his dry wit. From that point on she was toast 😂

[@zathras11b53]

THIS! More of THIS and fewer 'shorts'. THIS is the good stuff! Also, 5:45 'pedantic' = "excessively concerned with minor details or rules; overscrupulous."

[@DinaBelenkaya]

lol im sorry why don’t you like shorts?!

[@HiFisch94]

​@@DinaBelenkayaI'm not him, but if you're interested, I'll share my opinion: shorts are a nice medium to get new viewers to your channel and they are quite entertaining. Having said that: I don't like to spend my time watching shorts - they feel shallow and are forgettable, also KZbin is extremely packed with them. In contrast: Videos like this video have less dense content, but feel way more natural. In your case, I think they allow for a more genuine feel for your personality which I personally like to see/shine. That being said: I think both formats have their own right to exist

[@bacca71]

Qvc? Tell me more

[@jacobj3491]

@@sublimeade I'm just learning about this now too. Dropping a link below. Seems like xqc (which Ben mispronounces as qvc) got shit-talked by Ben. Probably because xqc was the #1 chess streamer for a while even though he's rated sub 1000. A lot of GMs were not happy about that for obvious reasons and some went on to insult him.

[@AMatterOfTechnique]

I like how Dina is trolling Brainiac for his ban

[@GeorgeEpting]

Well white won from the opening with them pawns built up like that but did not perform the attack under the pawns which costed you the game and it looked like you had plenty of time and chances under there to get it done, white could had played 2800 up to 3200 elo and under them pawns or pieces short or long distance to go from side to side up n down an back around from to the attack is my theory which could be and is many variations of it, if it can be performed is my jbird theory since 1977❤😊

Best chess video this week

[@4231jerome]

At 5:27 I think I can see the win that he’s referring to. If white played pawn to F6, then it’s game over, either a mate in one or a mate in 4

He's just joking to run her clock down. The position is equal.

@@mobileebikerentals2940 I’m pretty sure it is . . I’m no expert though. I think that’s exactly why he told her as well . . It’s much much harder to see a mating pattern if you’re told there’s one there 😂 I suspect it was exquisite gamesmanship on his part there, because he knew he was legitimately in trouble if she made the right move

When Abraham Lincoln was reviewing the troops one of the soldiers was 6'7" tall. Lincoln stopped and looked the man up and down. He said: "Soldier, when your feet get cold do you know it?" Everyone laughed and thought Lincoln to be very clever. I think someone in Lincoln's history said that same remark about him, who was 6"4". He repeated an old joke the same as Ben Finegold can do about chess for probably 20 minutes straight. I, who am retired, still say jokes and phrases I committed to memory in my youth. What is surprising to me is that many are too old to be understood. Recently, I was shocked to know that very few people, almost none under 35, do not even know or have ever heard of a stool pigeon. If anyone reads this who is under 35 and heard this word please reply with a "hi". I won't reply as I know today people do not like that. Thanks to Dina and Ben for a great game.
