Benstradamus at 6:00

and now he is the world champion

Vegas hates this one simple trick of listening to Ben's predictions.

And today he won the candidates. Unbelievable

Babe wake up, new Finegold lecture just dropped

6:04 Ok Ben, I respect the game, I didn't realize you were a fortune teller, are you potentially Gukesh's good luck charm???

Can't wait for the great players of the future lecture series!

Damn no more kids audience, I will always miss them c:

at 6:02 : He probably will be fighting for the world championship.

That was a great prediction

Thanks Wren construction

Finegold will go down in history as the greatest chess lecturer of all time

Gukesh is now 8 out of 8 in the olympiads, with a rating of 2730 and a performance 3360...  :o

In April 2024,, this almost 2 year-old video is looking like one of Ben's best. The comments starting at at 5:55 (especially 6:04) and 49:27 (esp. 50:00) have aged particularly well at this point. It is good to see a player who is solid in his preparation, likes "double-edged" and exciting matches, and gets wins as black.

Obviously his Candidates performance didn't come out of nowhere. 4.5 points as black even with one loss! Impressive.

Ben, we'll need another video, Gukesh v2. While you're at it, give us some good Candidates 2024 content too! Good luck to Gukesh in the world championsip match later this year!

You really saw his upraising coming !

Amazing prediction. He became the youngest challenger at the age of 17.

6:08 yep close prediction

Very timely with the Olympiad results! Love it!

Gukesh beat Fabi with black pieces today. Very convincing and a strong attacking game. Who says Gukesh is boring? GM Finegold was so accurate in his prediction and analysis. Hats off Sir!

He won 8/8 in olympiad, he really goes for the win even at slightest chance presented

Gukesh has been playing amazing at the Olympiad. Perfect timing on the upload!!
