Ben doesnt understand that it takes 30 seconds to determine if you’re hanging a piece, and then after thinking for 30 seconds you hang your queen.
-
Giving away all his pieces and then checkmating with knight and bishop is an insane flex.
-
Always hilarious when Ben is insulting us and then the guy he’s playing immediately proves him right
-
"I'm talking non-stop and not paying attention" and misses the free queen. 2:25
-
3:37 it was in this position, Ben Finegold won the Hikaru Nakamura Sportsmanship Award.
-
31 moves in the b+n mate sequence, if you were wondering how close to 50 Ben got
-
Lol, did Ben reach the premove limit? I didn't know such a thing existed
-
What a great lesson ! 1 - Don't play slow. 2 - Don't blunder pieces. That's fantastic, do you offer personal lessons ? What's your rate ?
-
Ah, okay you're gonna make three queens? Oh, I guess you're gonna get every type of piece. Oh, you're going to checkmate with knight and bishop. Next level trolling right here.
-
Secret of chess is to play like you never want the game to end.
-
My personal most important rule in blitz, (and this one Never failed me so far) don’t play Blitz
-
as someone who is currently struggling with knight and bishop mates, this is absolutely savage. Such cool, calm restraint. I love it
-
Chess, when played perfectly, ends in sacrificing all your pieces except two pawns and check mating your opponent with a bishop and a knight.
-
Sweet checkmate in 95, bruh.
-
I can't belive he promoted and sacked into the hardest mating combo there is and then pre moved the ending.
-
Love the knight bishop mate at the end! Surprised he kept playing as long as he did.
-
i immediately followed the advice in this video and won a game by just moving around forever. thanks GM ben!
-
Doesn't resign against a GM despite having blundered a piece, then the GM doesn't go for checkmate and deliberately does a knight and beeeeeshop checkmate. Neither side wanted the game to end. 1. Never resign 2. Never checkmate, either.
-
GM Ben Finetrolled.

Wow, that was pretty epic when Ben threw away all his pieces but B & N to give himself the hardest possible endgame.
