This was a great 9 minutes with Ben. Incredible endgame

Beautiful endgame.

This reminds me of your video for Sergio Mariotti when you said, "Everyone's a genius when they put their engine on the game, go to bed, wake up, and know exactly what to do. But over the board, with the clock ticking and when the pressure's on, nobody knows what to do."

Unbalanced endgames like this are super thrilling; thanks for sharing.

I've watched Ben on youtube for years. Starting with his lectures at St Louis, watching him start the Atlanta club, then switch to streaming full time. I fall asleep to his lectures every night. I've got this parasocial relationship with him where I'm intimately familiar with his lectures, mannerisms, and content, and he's never once met me. The internet is weird.

Nine minutes of five minutes with Ben. Nice.

If this endgame occured in an important game 60 years ago, they'd analyze it for decades and still be wrong.

Thanks for the end game review. And the two players were very low on time too!

This was a wild game to watch live. I really felt for coach commentating this.

It’s always funny how even a lone pawn can defeat a Queen.

I've watched every single chesstuber I know review this game and I love it every time.

Levy is the livelihood of all chess YouTubers today.

[RdHolland]

It seems like everyone who comments on Ben's videos is a wise ass. I love it!

"Levy Wins"? Has the channel been hacked?

[mmmu]

That's so embarrassing. Levy is a grown-up who still plays chess

[douglaslarosa]

The old trick of gaslighting the town's charlatan, eh? 😝

[railspony]

9 minutes with Ben?! Yeah, he probably did play a bad move for content.

[funcelot]

Ben is the best, still not ending to Ben, so it might be Ben not very well, but Ben goes extremely Ben.
