Ben Finegold can never lose

On Twitch GM Ben Finegold plays subs, unrated 5 minute. As a sub, I played him just now. My mistake was winning - after he played pretty poorly in the opening. Why was it a mistake? Because he then accused me of cheating and banned me from his channel.

Pretty pathetic behavior on his part. OTB my last rating is 1900; I haven't played "seriously" in some time and admittedly my chess.com rating is low (1650). But you can click my name and look up my game (at least I think so, let me know if not) and I find it hard to believe that it would take a master to beat him after the first 10 moves.

It's a shame as he's lost a subscriber and someone who thought he was worth watching. It's also a shame that his ego can't handle a loss even in informal games where he isn't playing well.

But since he is a GM and I am not, he wins in the court of public opinion. But I have never cheated at chess, never will.

Nothing about that game looks like cheating, and I don't just mean the quality of moves, I mean the times and types of moves. If he banned you that's really pathetic.

20.5 % accuracy for a GM is almost unheard of, even in a 5 minute game.  Guess he was just embarrassed and lashing out.

You may have cheated.... but... okay, I am not sure now that I thought about it.....  but if you ever beat me again... I will cry even more!!!!!

Bruh a 70 percent accuracy and he says you’re cheating

I assume he didn't analyse the game before he made the accusation. If I was a GM and got beaten by a 1600, my first thought would probably be that he is cheating.

It is something like he never let his students go above him. I assume that if op is his subscriber then he must have got coaching from him. Pardon me if I offended someone.

@GMBenjaminFinegold got hacked by one of his kids 🤣🤣

Seriously though, I watch a lot of his games and I have never seen him use that much time in a blitz.

Poshganache we get a lot of cheaters on Ben's stream.  Seriously a lot of cheaters.  Every day, cheaters come on and no joke Ben gets angry and lashes out.

I don't think you cheated.    But let me put it this way.  In my 45 years of playing chess I have not ONCE been accused of cheating.  Not once!   I mean come on.  I have played a good game before.   Nope.  I've never played good enough to be called a cheater.

Congrats on the great game and be proud of your badge of honor.  It's not every day you get called a cheater.  Don't be mad.   I wish I could play a game that good.  I think Ben will come around and think you didn't cheat after all.  

So be proud of your game, don't be mad, and be nice to Ben please.
