At 14:50, instead of Rb5, why not Nxg5? 1. Nxg5 Kxg5 2. Rxe7 Rxe7 3. Rxe7 and white is ahead 2 pawns?

i really love Finegolds jokes, you know when i first saw his scholastic videos i liked his jokes because it made me feel not having wasted my time with watching the marathon man. Now his jokes are just really funny. Also i like his style, the last games were not my cup of tea but i always like his style of presenting. When he once did an endgame video, he posted a video were i exactly would go wrong and i think there were just two choices anyway.
I hope he didnt stop making videos here.

great video.. what about knight takes g5 using the pinned bishop one more time would not have been much easier? jus curious... ya i got it... then if bishop is unpinned, we have two pieces to defend :)

by GM Ben Finegold
After a hot start (+3), the then International Master Finegold figured he needed to draw his remaining four games to secure the GM title. After some "curbside preparation", Ben decided to make a last second change in his plan against IM Antal and play an old variation from his repertoire to avoid the main lines of the Grunfeld. Was it the right call? Would Ben finally secure his long coveted GM title after the SPICE Cup? Watch and find out...
