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.

[Princesspony]

Giving away all his pieces and then checkmating with knight and bishop is an insane flex.

[hugeboi]

Always hilarious when Ben is insulting us and then the guy he’s playing immediately proves him right

[liammccollum]

"I'm talking non-stop and not paying attention" and misses the free queen. 2:25

[dashyz]

3:37 it was in this position, Ben Finegold won the Hikaru Nakamura Sportsmanship Award.

[roippi]

31 moves in the b+n mate sequence, if you were wondering how close to 50 Ben got

[pauldraper]

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.

[jacobhall]

Lol, did Ben reach the premove limit? I didn't know such a thing existed

[ancientmoron]

My personal most important rule in blitz, (and this one Never failed me so far) don’t play Blitz

[duconmicro]

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 ?

Secret of chess is to play like you never want the game to end.

[liilianalopez]

as someone who is currently struggling with knight and bishop mates, this is absolutely savage. Such cool, calm restraint. I love it

[smort]

Chess, when played perfectly, ends in sacrificing all your pieces except two pawns and check mating your opponent with a bishop and a knight.

[jonathanmichel]

I can't belive he promoted and sacked into the hardest mating combo there is and then pre moved the ending.

[z.mauricio]

By far the coolest chess video I have seen on youtube. Thats "playing with your meal"... Crowning bishop knight queen for giving up queen and rooks and mating knight and bishop... Respect !!!

[askthepizzaguy]

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 checkmate. Neither side wanted the game to end.

1. Never resign
2. Never checkmate, either.

[exoplanet]

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

[alexfrasca]

i immediately followed the advice in this video and won a game by just moving around forever. thanks GM ben!

[jacebeefer]

Love the knight bishop mate at the end! Surprised he kept playing as long as he did.

[Insanity-vvnn]

Dont forget the most important rule in blitz: “never resign, even if the opponent have 50000 queens, because peaple above 1400 rating Will always give you draw”
