I wasn't Reti for this, looks like a bunch of Benoni to me...
-
"In complicated positions, both sides make a lot of mistakes" please actually make that lecture!
-
"Something really, really bad is gonna happen soon. And to avoid that, he resigned" 😂 24:55

I would like to see the "In complicated positions, players make a lot of mistakes" lecture.
-
I’m Réti for another GM Ben Finegold lecture!

'''Grandmasters can't be on move 2 and be confused'' Magnus VS Niemann flashbacks

Thank you for this. The Reti has been my go to opening for white for years.

i can’t believe this content is free

Thanks so much for this Ben. The Reti is all I play as white, sometimes the English and of course many transpositions. This and the Modern/Pirc as black is why I like Tomi Nybäck so much. 😄👍

Really informative and well worth the time. It makes me think that if I rewatch this many times, and practice this against the computer repeatedly, I will internalize the concepts and ideal piece placements, and crush my opponents.
-
Thanks for clearing it up for me that openings are not, in fact, people. I've been struggling with this abstract concept for my entire 36-year chess career. You have no idea how much this means to me Ben. Hopefully now I can break out of 200 ELO hell.

I'm listening to Retiohead while I watch the lecture I learned how to make my pieces disappear completely

Thanks for this lecture! I love this opening. I feel like part of the reason it's super underrated is because Stockfish says a lot of the lines after 2.d5 are practically "equal", but as noted in the lecture I feel like these games get complicated enough that understanding the position is much more important than whatever the engine calculates 40 moves down the line. Very cool to see Aronian bring it out and test the Advance Variation against a strong opponent in Caruana.

a lecture about my favorite opening by my favorite lecturer! This is a blessed day!
-
i love playing such exotic structures like reti. this lecture did pretty good job in expanding my base of ideas.
-
Excellent lecture, thank you!
-
Excellent lecture. Thank you.
-
i have been waiting my whole chess career for this.
-
The Reti is my favorite opening to play as white, especially fianchettoing both bishops. Great lecture! How about another one soon???

26:45 That's Rapport, and he indeed did it for the money. He got a nice sponsorship from a romanian billionare. The hungarian chess fed was pretty butthurt about it, but I can understand Richard on this matter.
