"it doesn't matter if I'm having it very often, if I'm having it for 40 years, ten times a year..." an inspirational message for us all. Definitely just about chess.
When I was a child in a chess club in the early '80s, I thought this was the only opening in chess.

I clicked on this video initially just to see if I could detect any despair in Ben's face at having to condense the Queen's Gambit into 2 lectures. I was right!

1:08 "When I was a kid, between the ages... nine and sixteen." Who are you, and what have you done with the real Ben Finegold? We all know that the real Ben Finegold was NEIN!!! when he started to play the queen's gambit.

33:07 in the other game black had a pawn in c6, i think black had an extra tempo because the white bishop had gone e2 before taking on c4 instead of taking on c4 directly

Very interesting lecture, as it helped me understand why the bishop+queen battery is so succesful in the Queen's Gambit. Maybe a way to defend from it is keeping the knights and try to exchange the white bishop? Many mates come from that battery. Interesting!

i love how he's like oh the tarrasch, not very popular nowadays and oh the queens gambit accepted, grandmasters just gives the pawn back but 4 years later, many top gms play those regularly lol

Thanks GM-BF - I play QG almost exclusively as white (for too many decades now), & I like the tactics demonstrated around blacks trapped bishop & the commentary around the black e5/c5 pawn advances - Think I'll be watching these 3 games alot in my continued QG journey reviews .. ♟🐄

I understand that you were 2500 and a GM in that first game, but geez, the other guy is 2200, that's a Jr Master. I mean I know that with your rating, sooner or later you will beat him, but being honest funny you think that a Jr Master should have seen that tactical shot at least? It wouldn't have saved the game but to allow a mate so quick for a 2200 rating???

I play queen's gambit almost exclusively with white, and the trap 7:49 happens about 30% of the time on anonymous play in lichess.
