Of all the chess players I’ve ever seen, Ben is one of them
-
I am fascinated how Ben remembers how every piece moves
-
ben can be proud holder of the title "funniest grandmaster ever"
-
"try not to know anything, it's more fun that way" The best thing to say during a lecture
-
I put my king in front of the pawn and got checkmated. Gotta remember do that on the endgame and not the opening though
-
"If not possible.. do it anyway" that's one of the advices of all time
-
I'd like to thank my favorite Pope, Christopher Pope, for sponsoring the lecture for us! He's a great Pope, one of the best.

There is no one better at teaching chess than Ben is. I am watching this after being awake for more than 24 hours and I still understood the lesson! ..I might even retain some of it for use in games. But even if I don't it was still fun to watch. Best on YT easy. Thanks, Ben.

28:02 An incredibly specific and situational chess joke 👨🍳👌 chef’s kiss Good stuff

Getting better at endgames is key to getting better at chess. When Siegbert Tarrasch in 1910 wrote his famous book "The Game of Chess", he started it with several extensive chapters about technical and basic endgames. These chapters make up roughly one third of the whole book. That should tell you something. Thanks Ben for this great lecture on the basics, AGAIN!

I'm going to print this lecture and put in on my shelf. Highest quality content right there 🤓

One of the very best teachers I have seen on youtube and there are many good ones, Ben explains endgame essentials in a non-boring way that makes you want to learn and hopefully understand. Thanks Ben!!
-
Love this Guy. Not only does he explain chess in a way so us mere mortals can understand it, but he does it with a smile on his face and has a great sense of humour 😂 He makes learning fun. Keep up the great work 👍

No bishop endgames, hope Pope wasn't disappointed...
-
Within 10 minutes I'm understanding and extending concepts I thought I knew to a deeper level thanks to Ben's excellent example choices and explanation. This is a great lesson, thank you Ben.

When you watch Ben on Stream, you will always get good advice sprinkled in with the jokes - but when Ben sits down to teach, I really don't think there is anyone better; the first few examples in this video and then showing you WHY that is the case really made me think. I went through this vid in about 3 sessions, following the examples and the line of reasoning, and now I look at the pieces in a different way, and looking from when the first few pieces that come off how the end game might look.

24:25 Mr. GM, this is the basic Philidor 2 pattern and Black draws with Re2. Rf2 check looses. The point of Re2 is that White cannot go Ke7 after 2. Ke6 Ra8 3. Kg7. Nothing wrong with using the engine to confirm your assessment man, told you before :)
-
Thank you Ben! This was a very informative video!
-
One of coolest lectures ever.
