Is Ben Finegold as big a jerk as he seems in his videos?

I find that anyone who reaches the level of GM, except maybe Tal, is a either a know it all or a bit of a jerk, or both. I can say at first I found Ben sort of funny, but then he started to grate on me!

I thinks his lectures are good enough, and he also tries to be different in presentation ,which is also good

I'm not sure what GM Ben Finegold is like in real life but he seems to do a good job on Chess.com-TV. He and IM David Pruess work together doing some of the games there and they make a very good team.

Well I guess we won't have Ben Finegold to kick around anymore.

Good luck Ben! I think your a very funny guy.

Finegold does not explain why he plays moves or why others do but only just gets his job done and goes practising his punchlines, meanwhile someone like aviv, yasser and even jonathan explain thegame very instructively and in a crystal clear way. All im trying to say is that if i had to watch an hour of coffee slurping and terrible references that noone gets or actual good teachers teaching me chess indepth i would definitely pick the last option

frankly, terrible!

Ben Finegold is a complete muppet. I recently saw a video of him discussing Bobby Fischer's Game Of The Century where Finegold sarcastically said "it must have been a slow century". Yes, that is right, the Super Grandmaster, future World Champion, Chess God Ben Finegold belittled Bobby's GOTC. Guys a mouthpiece.
