"completing undevelopment, setting up for the next game" lol

"If you want to see some terrible games and you're in the audience, you can go upstairs. if you're at home, you can look at your own games." LMFAO Ben is so Savage. he was on fire this lecture

- On this move, you should think here for an hour.
- But Mr. Finegold, why should I think for an hour?
- It's Grandmaster Finegold and I get paid by the hour.
LOL.

@33:04.... the Evans Gambit... named after Mr Gambit.

On the next episode of Ancient Aliens: Paul Morphy

Don't listen to the people who say your ego gets in the way of your teaching, or your humor, if anything, I think it makes for a BETTER learning experience! I've learned so much from your classes it's remarkable! Keep up the awesome lectures and keep the crowd laughing! Humor makes the game less tedious and really makes you seem like a cool guy to learn from. Build connection and really makes the videos entertaining. Make more!

People who say Morphy would suck if he came back today aren't thinking clearly... That's only true if he's not allowed to go on the computer or open a book.

"Completing the undevelopment", had a chuckle there.

Who can possibly dislike this video? Ben Finegold rocks!!!!

Omfg the way he rips on GM Ken West is so effing hilarious

"whatever magnus' is plus 10"

This is an excellent lecture, not only because of using Morphy's games, (because they are extremely instructive to class level players), also this is one of GM Finegold's best presentations.

14:40 "if you want to see some really terrible games, in the live audience, you can walk upstairs, if you re at home you can look at your own games" you can write a Bible from Finegold s quotes.

this guys deadpan is incredible :D

Watching this on August 7th 2023, exactly 10 years after Ben gave this lecture :D

Just for fun we need a camera scan of the students. I wanna see what "Grandmaster" Ken West looks like.

"if kf2 then ng4 check therefore kf2" my favorite gm

Tal went back in time and called himself Morphy.

I effing love Ben Finegold.

The second greatest thing Paul Morphy ever did was introduce me to Ben Finegold.
