When you want to become a stand up comedian but end up being a chess grandmaster
-
“He stopped g6 better than you guys did. He resigned.” Hahahahahahaha
-
20:37 that “umm” is the exact note and timbre of the opening note of “All Star”
-
Me before the apocalypse : "Oh but it's ok, a6 is defended"
-
What I like about Ben Finegold is how he intertwines real life in his jokes to teach people valueable lessons.
-
"when your rating goes up, you like bishops more" 😆😆😆 I like that 👍👍👍
-
A 50 minute Finegold lecture just honestly made my day :)

"Rawer"-GM Ben Finegold
-
Let's say you are playing Kasparov.. You should probably wake up at that point 😆😆😆 made my day!!! ben at his finest
-
Karpov was a much better player than people give him credit for. Not only was he superb in the Ruy Lopez but he crushed other players in the Sicilian Defense, in fact, outside of Kasparov, Karpov beat almost everyone else who played the Sicilian against him.

Someone says "IM Norm" to you, just say "Nice to meet you Norm, my name's Ben"
-
It's insane how many good instructive chess analysis from GMs are there for free. Thank you for posting such high quality content for free :) I was stuck on 1500 for almost 2 years and now im getting better ever since i started watching your videos. You are promoting chess in a just most beautiful manner. Greetings from Serbia!

How does Ben not do stand up.. His humor is so entertaining
-
ben: "c4..." me: which is explosive ben: "...which is explosive" we're vibing
-
If Jonah hill was a grand master
-
The Ruy Lopez opening seems to build up slowly and rely on position and slow expansion of space...at the same time, it can be sneaky aggressive. Love Ben's lectures!!
-
I just started watching this, and I absolutely love Ben Finegold's humor. I'm surprised I'm not hearing roaring laughter from the audience.
-
you know Ben when I was young Morphy, Tal, Kasparov they were my heros. But now I find that I like Karpov the best of all. I don't know if I'm grown up now or just old.
-
wow it took me like 20 finegold videos to get the C4 being an explosive move joke. Im the reason hes always making fun of the audience at home, sorry guys

How does this man makes chess hilarious?
