You know, I've been meaning to say this. I don't learn much from Finegold's lectures.<br>At the end of each video I look at my notes I've written down and all it says is: <br><br>"Checkmate means you win"<br>"Usually you don't want to loose your bishop because then you don't have it"<br>"Loosing your queen is bad"<br>"If you can take a piece for free, take it"<br>"Sicilian defense is good, but the best sicilian is sicilian pizza"<br>"If you see mate in one, play it"<br>"c4 is explosive"<br>"Knife f5"<br>"I'm terrible"

I love that GM KW got the right move even though he thought he was checking his own king. Very suspicious!

Ken West is so lucky to be publicly demeaned by Ben Finegold.

"Mister Ken West, you cannot check your own king." terrible if he did that in a real game

Ken West's reaction to the checking his own thing was hilarious, sounds like a lovely guy, can't help but laugh at the mistake though!
