Ken West and the September Knights | Strategy Session with Jonathan Schrantz

[@jonathandonovan1802]

ken west seems like a chillass dude

[@apratimn]

How about a strategic session with GM Finegold and GM West?

[@MrAdravix]

''strategic'' grill/roast session.

[@utubeo]

Kudos to Ken West for courage in being willing to be on camera for the analysis! GM stands for Great Man.

[@greganderson8985]

You are a GM also, for saying such, utubeo!!!

[@chessanalyst9648]

GM KEN WEST!!

[@ainsleyfan6926]

""""""""""""""""""GM"""""""""""""""""" Ken West

[@davideferrara507]

Finally!

[@BloodyFox1]

Terrible!

[@BobbyMack]

Also, I love how the official intro title at 0:22 says "GM" Ken West in quotation marks. You should put in the video description of the first game: C42 Petrov three knights game, "West Gambit"

[@Aizen343]

He's like a Blues legend in the visual. And a lot brave to stand and get the critic. He may not be the GM in rating, but he showed more respectfull posture than Nakamura. Best wishes on his studies and rating.

[@Aziz050]

finally we get to see the legendary GM himself

[@JimLink]

The title of the video is wrong. His name is GM Ken West.

[@mihaicarstea3085]

JimLink yea you have to show proper respect😂

[@BobbyMack]

"famous, yet unknown"

[@kunalmandalia1165]

The Banksy of Chess

[@teacherwlad3023]

Ken West seems like such a nice guy.

[@quinix451]

please, bring more ken west, he is a really nice guy!

[@tomsmith4452]

i like Ken West ! He is nice guy :)

[@InSpadez]

Which also makes him the butt of many jokes...

[@BongelaMnguni]

here we go,I can't believe I just saw GM Ken West!

[@wertowzpoiutzowz7062]

nicest guy EVER! pleased to meet you, Mr. West!

[@andreasstocker8301]

the first one isnt C42 Petrov three knights game,it is K42 west gambit accepted

[@n9ghtb9k5r]

nice to finally see who Ken West is :)

[@mariusdafunk]

Minute 38 ...in tears laughing. Another great, funny and instructive lecture with two very likeable characters.

[@JimmerMonroe]

***GM*** Ken West seems like a great sport and loves chess...good for him! Ben Finegolds facepalm at the end is hilarious!

[@Athenian888]

Ken West is a very cool guy! :)

[@tharkanzox1493]

Amazing to finally see the great KEN WEST.

[@morenocorvini]

omg this is Ken West? I was expecting some 17-20 years old xD

[@TheBilly]

All I have to say about Ken West's play: SOLID!

[@Cejotas01]

LOL Finegold 43:38 :D

[@JimLink]

Ben's rubbing his face lol. There's a lecture on the channel where the intro is just Ben rubbing his face :D

[@glum_hippo]

yeah, what was up with that shot?

[@greganderson8985]

InSpadez Ben Finegold, with his wit and contributions to chess in the US, and his love for developing/teaching the kids in the game...is awesome, you are the 'see you next tuesday', lil boy.

[@greganderson8985]

InSpadez All of these players, esp. West, respect and like Finegold, A LOT! Your opinion of Ben matters so little that they have never taken the time to acknowledge your idiocy.

[@collinpawlak7025]

KEN WEST!! The man. The legend.

[@tharindanimnajith3525]

"GM" Ken West! Really a cool guy! I thought he was a 15 year old whenever Ben joked about him! But anyway he seems like a great guy!

[@guitarinmybelly]

Man I wish I lived in St Louis I'd be at this club 24/7/365

[@sohamnandi5457]

Me too ..

[@MrMsnedeker]

Ken West seems like a super cool guy. More Ken West!

[@differentanimal]

Can we get more Ken West? He's...the best!

[@shakingbabies5ever397]

At 16:00 it seemed like everyone forgot that rook on e1 was hanging when analyzing his bishop move

[@zulzulkifli5557]

I am a fan from malaysia...yeay!!! GM ken west.. .the kids at the club shud consider themselves fortunate...they can play game or two with nice experienced player (that is GM west)....:)

[@owenhsalome]

So happily to finally MEET KEN WEST!!!

[@cyxFrag]

Now I can die in peace! THANK YOU GM KEN WEST

[@jjgonzalez3395]

I would like a Ken West Autograph. That would be sweet.

[@mmgubin]

Ken West is such a great guy. Great to finally see him on video

[@vasily2016]

GM Ken West Live? Suspicious!

[@desdeelmanicomio]

legendary gm ken west!

[@U1608]

It's Grand Master Ken West!!

[@VulpineShine]

1100 here. Spotted ken west's move immediately when he didn't take the knight.

[@jerrylahjalahtiex-jw5587]

Grandmaster Ken West! The best!

[@carlescamps1523]

At last!!! So many videos knowing about kanye west. He's finally revealed!!! :D

[@sqweebel1]

For some reason, I thought Ken West was a younger guy, like around 16 years of age.

[@Uerdue]

6:54 You forgot Re1!! :p

[@elsayedhassan7696]

the legendary !

[@Schindlabua]

Ken West hype!

[@go896]

GM Ken West is a fine gentleman.

[@CommanderKeen]

GM Ken West is the best.

[@simargl2454]

[@zyffe]

12:33 Qf6? Bg5 Qf7 Bg3 etc. Looks very bleak for black.

[@jimmygiggle8253]

We need more Finegold!

[@KillianDefaoite]

"GRANDMASTER" KEN WEST!!!!!!!!!

[@Toaster_luvin]

ken best

[@globalscorerevolution]

YES!!!

[@jinjocat]

It's Thijs van Leer!

[@turtle207]

... Bd6, Bf4 Rxe1+, Rxe1 Bxf4, Qxh4 Nxh4, and white have a fork, pawn g3. Then ... Bd2 Re2 the position is far from winning. GM Ken West calculate deeper than you did and will not miss a win. Bd6 is only a tiny advantage.

[@DardanAbazi]

Lets call up a random student: Ken West😂 - i had the impression he's under 12

[@ASMRChess]

OMG best player ever!! Terrible!b

[@BloodFalcon2k7]

A solid GM

[@clayvision]

"i annotated this game yesterday" "got any good insight" "Yeah, whites up a knight" "GM" Ben Finegold everybody

[@warsinaction2450]

13:35 I got it before ken west!

[@harundinarevic7218]

i have same hat

[@misanthrop1958]

My handle on twitch actually is Ken_West, dedicated to the one and only. I hope he does not sue me for identity theft!

[@thomasstokes1949]

I play the London as white too Ken west!

[@pkeding39]

The west gambit...dont try this one at home

[@chrisdvine]

One day I want to say I have beaten grandmaster ken west

[@petere164]

I dont get it. If Ken West is a GM player, why did he not play like a GM

[@some______guy]

"GM"

[@emir2591]

I'll LOLOL

[@callumlehingrat9890]

Ken west sounds like Donald trump

[@chandan1015]

Chess Club and Scholastic Center of Saint Louis there is no GM named as ken west !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@daviddante1989]

it's just a joke. GM Ben Finegold calls him "GM" Ken West as a way of messing with him.

[@chandan1015]

Is it same as republicans call Hillary '' The President '' ?

[@legueu]

I was wasting time with all those garbage openings when I could have played the legendary West Gambit.

[@TheBilly]

Ken Worst

[@markphc99]

The Ken West hat - a cool new fashion look that says - I am bald and insecure!

[@markphc99]

i stand by my comment

[@trashl0rd]

Insecure? The dude got roasted over some of his lost games in front of an audience (not to mention the Yotuube audience) with a smile on his face. I'm willing to bet you couldn't handle that.

[@Ninnoa]

Mark Callaghan Sure you stand. We all know you are the one who is insecure. :)
