This week (Tue., 15 December) joining IM John Watson on Chess Talk will be GM Ben Finegold, America's latest addition to the ranks of grandmaster. Note: A 10 min free preview that can be published by all http://webcast.chessclub.com/preview/Watson/2009_12_15/Watson_preview.html
Life certainly begins at 40 for Ben Finegold, who, after years of trying and being ranked as one of the most experienced IM in the US, has now finally become a GM! Ben is also set for for a career-move away from his normal habitat of Michigan to the burgeoning American chess mecca at the Chess Club and Scholastic Center of St. Louis, where next month he takes up a new post there as their Grandmaster-in-residence. He's also no stranger to Chess.FM, with recent stints commentating with WGM Jennifer Shahade during the USCL Final and the U.S. Women's Championship in St. Louis.

Congrats to Ben Finegold for the interview and the GM title.
Unfortunately for Michigan, that state will lose its best player ever.
Congratulations to the St. Louis Chess Club and Ben Finegold.
