Now, I don't know how many of you watch online lectures. 

But Ben Finegold is the best to watch.

Yeah Finegold is the man.  Those St. Louis CC lectures are awesome.  Why pay for diamond on chess.com with so many FREE instructional chess videos on the net?

Agreed, thought I'm tempted at times just to just the tatics option. 

Tired of logging into chesstempo all the time.

Ben Finegold is terrible!! Hurray!! Argghhh!!

Haha....he's awesome. Love his videos.

I moved to D4 threatening mate...but my opponent saw that.

That leads to checkmate with advantage...and that could be a problem for white!

Golden channel there. Nice find.

And I agree that Finegold is hilarious and chesstempo's tactics trainer is better.

I hope Ben Finegold continues to put out lectures...I'va watched all of his stuff I can find on youtube 3 or 4 times over each already.

Those jokes about Morphy's opponents.. my sides hurt from laughter.
It's better than half the big stand up comedians I've seen from time to time.

That leads to checkmate with advantage...and that's bad.

The difference is substantial too.  You'd think any moron could read off lines and explain the position and it would be about the same, but the personality makes it so much more compelling.

"This move is always bad, has always been bad, and will always be bad."
