Had to rewind to 3:45 when Ben said he's going to take an E right now...

[@independentnature295]

I think he said take a knee, probably in reference to some pro football demonstration thing.

[@jinjocat]

@@independentnature295 Yeah, I know, but I had to rewind and listen to it again!

@35:40 Spassky and Petrosian had two title matches, it was Petrosian who defended his title in the first one 1966, Spassky won in 1969. So yeah Petrosian was the first successful title defense post WWII. Must be a contributing factor to being Iron Tigran.

Ben pls make video on monster knights how to take advantage when our knight reaches 5th or 6th file tactics n material advantage n everything.

[@ponzi_0]

Love the positive energy

[@chadmacgargle5311]

Ben should optimize his processing usage, the fan should not be working that hard. It doesn't need to figure it out in 1.5 seconds we have 3 seconds to wait.

[@chadmacgargle5311]

Botvinnik always made sure the World Champion never won. Even if he had to draw.

10:19 It's lobotomy time!

[@kaasslejandro]

In minute 18:07 white plays Kd5 and then back to d4, that let black choose between going back with the rock (so nothing changes) or going to e6. If white is going to play a4 why not to play it right away and give black more options? I dont know if there is a point in playing Kd5 or it is just an error.

[@carsonbath6345]

A 30+ minute video where ben talks smack about people my rating? Ok fine I will thumbs up the video

[@KironKabir]

2 rooks vaat else?

[@victorfinberg8595]

3:00 incomplete the red pawn is better than the green pawn, because it is closer to queening. however : the green pawn is better because it is on the edge which factor dominates is situational. for example, the red pawn is currently BLOCKADED. the green pawn is free to roam.
