Chess has a deep history in New York City. Champions and Amateurs from all over the world have graced the iconic concrete tables of Washington and Union Square and beyond. Episode 2 of URBAN RECREATION uncovers the stories behind the street chess players taking not just your money but a bit of your dignity with every move. The street chess community is part game and part con, but good or bad, chess is part of the NYC fabric as much as any other game out there.

The legendary cornbread! Glad he was in this video.
I think it would cool to go watch a few games. Thats just me though.
T. F. Q
this is abput the least likely sport I would expect Red Bull to sponsor...
Thelunatic Loggers That's why red bull is next level shit. Instead of sponsoring sports that have millions on millions of fans and sponsors, they back those with little to no recognition
Little to no recognition? Defend that position please!
Chess is a sport played worldwide. I can guarantee that people recognize cess more than baseball outside of the United States
Corn bread still legendary lol. 😂
"Tricks, Traps and Trash Talk." My kind of game. :)
Cool feeling from this, Red Bull.
Plz make more chess training vodeo
this guy's good !
trash talk wouldnt work vs hikaru. want to see him play street chess.
he would wash does guys. it would be funny if they did a uncle drew in chess with hikaru
That chess set tho..
cheers
I go hear all the time. I like to play cornbread.
Naka!
3!!!
is it just me or does he sounds like stuie from family guy
I'd love to play against some of those guys, without timer though! it's impossible when you have that pressure, at least for me
+StahliCell you should play some mail chess then. or postcard chess wtv
BariumCobaltNitrog3n what's that?
+StahliCell That's the point though
Hikaru's playing the wrong game
would be cool
CORNBREAD ⌛️⌛️⌛️
What track start at 1:17?
Dear Red Bull, I love you. If you want to do the same in Italy, please call me.
Nothing could ever make chess exciting to non-players. The rules are too opaque to make it a spectator sport. Maybe if there were mini-explosives under some of the squares?
+PageMonster I'm not really a player but I watch it a lot thanks to youtube. Kingscrusher is one of my favourite channels because the analysis of games explains them. It's a fantastic spectator sport if it's presented properly, but yeah, I don't think people realise that it can be
+PageMonster You could not be more misinformed. This type of play is exactly what makes chess exciting to non-players. 40 thousand people watched this and gave it an 80% approval rating. Are the "moves" to Tricking explained, or street skating?
You sound like someone that watches NFL and enjoys the commercial breaks every 2 minutes because your attention span is comparable to the size of a midget.
PageMonster Players who don't understand the game won't want to watch it however, it's amazing
Wow! I'd follow Jon Corbblah to hell and back!
the black guy is stepdad of hikaru nakamura the guy in the left at the beginning of video.
That's incredible. Is this real or is Redbull hyping it up too much. Either way, I would never want to go against these guys.
Nugenrules it's real man. Red bull obviously adds some hype to it, but go to Washington Park and see for yourself, shit gets intense, tables always full. The players can look like bums but there's more than meets the eye.
I notice chess in New York has no problem with race, gender or age. They all compete in relative harmony. That is because being a human individual is not about race or gender. Being human is about the individual mind,---as all of mankind should be. :)
twooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Shame Red Bull only sponsor Hikaru Nakamura, there are many other great American players. Then again he is the US Champion for over 4 years :P
If you can get really good at chess, there is probably nothing you could not figure out with good study. The problem is, you never had the time. Is that a shame?
They made something boring look so cool
Unreal first
+Nathan David congratulation, felicitaciones.
how much is that black guy's rating ??
85 street cred
its all about the trash talk, they can say they are the king of the hood
game too easy
savagekiller99 So you would be the world champion right now right?
Thus this make you rich?
If it's for the money, don't do it.
