Games of Mikhail Tal and Bobby Fischer, with GM Ben Finegold

first for fischer was only like 60% crazy
can you say first on a 2 years old reupload? yup just did

EKssssssssssqcuse me???!?!?!? Score.

Great players of the past might be my favorite chess series at this point. It's up there with Simon William's longer games, John Bartholomew's chess fundamentals/climbing the rating ladder, and it's almost as entertaining as a Chessbrah sub battle.

It is said that Fischer didn't spend more than two to three minutes on any game in the 1970 blitz tournament. This would suggest that probably Tal thought longer in this game and thus reached a winning position, but then had no time to convert the advantage into a win, while Fischer still had plenty of time left to counter victoriously (although Fischer obviously didn't really exploit his eventual time advantage!?). Sort of like that, maybe. I would have loved to see that live.

Couldn’t ask for a better topic, and with Ben lecturing… guaranteed to be good

the nakamura sneeze cracked me up 🤣

Mr. Finegold.. thank you for the great content and this amazing series ❤
Appreciate your efforts and my apologies about not being able to support and donate..

- Nakamura!
- Bless you!

Oh wow! This just came up on my feed, can't wait to watch this!!! ❤

Nice pwnage, brother. Keep up the good work. Praise Christ as I know you love religion so much.

I literally spit out my coffee on, "...because as we all know, Fischer was such a nice guy." Perfect timing.

Hey make a video on opening strategy and mistakes and how GM think in chess

Herceg Novi - Montenegro and Bled - Slovenia <3

Rare Ben finegold

All of the respect I have for Ben Finegold's chess, humor, and tutelage is offset by his poor physical health and appearance. He tugs on his shirt like that parody commercial by Tim Robinson TC tuggers. I just don't understand how someone born into such wealth and someone who is clearly intelligent is able to allow themselves to deteriorate so much.

"risk it to get the biscuit" hahaha also it's in a movie, fired up, good movie.
It woulda been Gold to say "As us Genius Grandmasters would say "" risk it to get the biscuit."" " then shake your head no and disappointed look.
I swear AI Ben finegold would be wild.

@GMBenjaminFinegold 2800? fischer was at the level of 2900 elo in the year 1972. They measured elo differently in that time, that's why fischer had a lowers rating at that time compared to today's players.
