[@cranberogelio]

I liked that at least 1 person laughed at the domino effect joke 22:04

[@jefftaylor1186]

My floor is 2000 but I’m gonna sneak in here anyways.

[@dashyz3293]

I'm over 2000 puzzles but under 2000 in game, aaargh there's so many hanging thoughts! Love from SG.

at 15;;47 after queen takes, or even before - is here a reason to not go white Bishop c4 forking the castle and knight. it opens the e4 pawn if he retreats with the bishop (before you took it) or if he goes knight d2 you can take his knight on b5 and recapture the pawn after he retakes form a4

[@geeknime1284]

Go ben

[@jaasfr223]

1:03:01 Bishop c7 . King a7 - Knight c6 Mate # Another option, no ?

[@Arcticp75]

close, black king goes back to a8

[@sublimeade]

Except for one thing

[@abritt5223]

Wow, Ben goin hard at Brooklyn?!? Hip Hop was born in Brooklyn…. Some of the brightest minds we’ve seen have come from there, not chess minds but brilliant in their own right. Just sayin

[@Kyle-ys3cv]

sure

[@SadPanda94]

At 27:45, if you take the rook Ben, cant you simply capture the a4 pawn and threaten the knight at d4 and win material by giving up on f file?

[@periodoftime2223]

Chess is hard!

[@josepgre]

I think I’ve already seen this class but I won’t complain because I’m too old and confused. Very suspicious.

[@ctcarton]

At 46:43 it looks to me like Rf6 also works, does it not? Edit: And in the next puzzle Kd6 looks like it works as well (...oh, that's mate in 4 though)

[@beeble2003]

1.Rf6 Qf4. If you take the queen, it's stalemate, and the queen's covering the two mating squares.

[@leorwolf]

this is my class but i am under 3 digit elo

[@hardstep1177]

How are you under 3 digits?

[@Kyle-ys3cv]

@@hardstep1177Imagine having a rating of 28?
