We went to Washington Square Park in NYC and this park chess player thought that my mom was a beginner in chess, even though she is a grandmaster.

Here is the next game they played: kzhead.info/sun/d5Vyk9h_a5GoiWw/bejne.html - thanks for watching the video!! :)
He's playing life like a GM ! I mean, as a GM ! He said it himself (on the social aspect) 🤩
The ilusion in his eyes tho hahaha 🤣
THis is one of your all time best videos!
Is your mom Swedish?
This is some pretty low attention seeking... get a grip.
This guy is a great teacher. He trained her mom to be a GM in just one lesson.
😂
Comment underated
Nyhahahaha
😂😂😂😂
God DAMN that's perfect! Made me laugh out loud here at home.
Not gonna lie. He has the power to make a WHOLE lot of people play chess. He makes an old game look super cool
this dude made me start today lmfao
Chess IS super cool
Too many people, especially women in general would say he's mansplaining. However, you would be wrong. He is someone who loves to teach and help anyone he can to love and appreciate the game he loves.
@@faf1967 nobody said that, you are fighting against non existing demons
@@faf1967who tf says that
I think he's a really nice guy, he assumed she was a beginner but not in a disrespectful way. It is so cute to see how excited he is about the game and even when she wins him how excited he is about her mom's tactic!
I would assume that most people that I come across are beginners, considering that only 10% of people play chess with any amount of regularity. And the fact that I can only probably recognize about 7 chess masters by their face. Male or female, living or dead.
@@Dark23KnightGames less than 10%
How did everyone miss the end when she said "Remember, I said chess is my passion". So he obviously knew and played her daughter before. HE MADE CHESS HIS PASSION that entire convo for some ODD REASON. He totally had the hots for the mother 100%.
When this man said, "oh my goodness! I want to play you one more!". I cried. I'm a 43 year old guy, and the complete lack of ego or anger in this guy is what I need to strive for in life. I would have been upset if I were him. Goes to show how much I have to learn. I would have felt like they were making fun of me, or getting a laugh at my expense. Which isn't the worst thing I guess, but I'm touchy about things like that. Of course Pia is the most docile, calm person I've ever seen play chess. Great video, really. I learned a lot.
i really admire your vulnerability in posting this comment, thank you for sharing this. goes to show how our brains are malleable forever.
@@4and20blackbirds it's admirable I agree with you.
Hearing you wanting to grow and be a kinder and more peaceful individual made my eyes tear up XD
When introducing new players to the game, the challenge is not to explain how to play chess, that's easy. The challenge is to get them excited to play chess, and this guy has mastered that.
I absolutely agree! He had me ready to charge into battle with him!
his lines will convince any beginner fs.
I do that by letting anybody I teach in anything win the first match.
It’s usually the last. 🫡
I feel so sorry for this guy, he must feel very foolish to be permanently on display enjoying talking down to someone who could teach him something.
He is the grandmaster of chess storytelling. And I love his reaction at the end. He could have been offended for being tricked, but instead he was excited to play with her.
He wasn't tricked at all - he assumed! He asked once if she knew the answer to a question, and she said "tell me 🙂" ! He does seem like a lovely man.
@@elizabethryan2217 You're right. However, they could have corrected his assumption sooner. They didn't, and some people would have felt tricked by that and been offended. I love that he didn't.
@johndescy7904 yep, fair enough 🙂 My own sense was that correcting him may have seemed like a put-down, whereas they both patiently and politely listened to what be had to say. But I get what you're saying! 🙂
@@elizabethryan2217naa, they were taking the piss. No good. The man was pure.
@@elizabethryan2217 he started by asking if they wanted to learn some basics. She could have said it right then..
I love that she humored him, and I love that he was such a good sport about it. This was wholesome.
Him needing to play her again, knowing he would get wrecked, warmed my heart.
He makes chess sound really exciting. Like he's telling a war story
That's who invented the game was about.
this man is cute, i love this teacher
Chess is war
Yeah I think it's easy to laugh at the idea of a GM being taught basics by a hustler in NYC... but if you remove the fact that she is a GM, this man speaks incredibly respectfully and eloquently of chess and actually paints quite the impressive mental image. I think anyone would be lucky to learn chess this way
@@billyhelms I've never played, and just watching this I learned a few rules about how the pieces move, and he does make it sound like a lot of fun. Made me genuinely smile. :D
"I WANNA PLAY YOU ONE MORE" This guy is a child in an old man's body in the best possible way. I can only hope to have his level of passion about literally anything at some point. What an awesome dude
Sorry but I would have left the table after 2 minutes, I couldn't stand this mansplaining annoying babble...
Pause on that
Woahhhhhhhhhh what
you 2 above me are absolutely wild 💀
@@potato4687 i meann i only thought about it when i looked at the replies
What a lovely character this bloke is. His passion is infectious. I love how excited he was to play your Mum a second time
I love how willing he is to accept that she’s a better player in such a happy way.
Thanks for letting him talk. He thought he was talking to you but he was talking to me and other new players watching
I agree, we'll put.
true 🥺
yeah my thoughts exactly
Some people might be great at chess, world's best even, but she's a great chess player; something even top grand masters can't be.
I assumed from the title that this guy was gonna be arrogant and condescending. But after watching the video, this guy's probably the best teacher I've ever seen in my entire life. Such a passionate soul, we need more people like this in the world.
Every one of her titles are clickbait.
Absolutely!!!
@@CJonesApple Not nearly as bad as Levy though lol
@@CJonesApple Honestly, knowing how youtube is towards creators these days it's fully understandable, even justified imo
@@CJonesApple The way of the world unfortunately. And look at us - it worked!
His reaction at the end is so genuine, Im in admiration of this man.
“i want to play one more, i want to play one more mom” hes like a kid, so wholesome.
This guy has more passion than any grand master in the world. He is living the battlefield
he is so invested, he could get ptsd from seeing his pawns die
He is not living the Battlefield, he is living the Chess itself
@@MrLordLowbob😂
@@MrLordLowboblmao
@@MrLordLowbob lol
I actually don't play chess, but this guy explained the game in such a story-telling fashion that even I got motivated to fight against the intruder.
lol
suddenly the chess board became a gang war
Lol he is a hustler. A scum bag. Lol that’s what they do. Lure you in with talk and smiles
@@maaz322 Bughouse chess is really close to gang war.
Since watching this, I have played chess with a sword and shield.
His passion for chess is extremely heartwarming. Seems like such an amazing dude.
That guy’s special. He delighted in being a teacher, then delighted in getting taught.
Really like the way the guy handled it when told she was a grandmaster. Instead of getting annoyed that he was "tricked", he was so excited that he was getting the chance to play someone at that level, and wanted to keep playing. That is true passion!
I think he knew it already lol
He most definitely knew. I'm sad people don't recognize these things. Everything is being faked for the sake of impact in the videos.
This guy was a pleasure all the way, beginning to end. When he thought she was a novice he treated her with respect and did an excellent job teaching and making it interesting. When he found out who she was he continued being great.
I even teared up a little at that moment. They are so wholesome! ❤
It is so refreshing, after all the trash-talkers. He is very respectful even when he thinks, you are novices. Then, when he loses, he seems more excited about your mom’s tactic than sad or angry to lose. Ultimately a super wholesome show of passion for chess.
"super wholesome"
@@mehridin What was the actual point in repeating exactly what OP said?
what is the actual point of copying what OP said@@Sacred_Silence
@@zeenxdownzwhat was the point in replying to what he said
At first I thought he was talking down to her, but it became clearer that he just loves the game and wanted to share his love for it, and teach her. He was encouraging and so happy for her when she beat him. As a newbie to the game, myself, I enjoyed his lesson immensely.
Oh my god, there’s nothing I love seeing more than genuine passion for something. This guy is so passionate about chess. His reaction at the end made me tear up. It’s so beautiful. I hope the two of you had fun on the next match! That is awesome and I’m really happy he got to meet a grandmaster like this!
This guy is delivering more than what he is paid for. Respect for the ol' man and his passion. He has a big heart too.
For real bro lmao
This guy's a GM at making chess interesting. Bless him!
Yea I'd rate his excitement around 3700, even Levy is just 2800 at that.
Levi might be nr1 chess youtuber, but damn, that man is a real world champ in that
GM = Gab Mouth
@@iwanfuryo2260 😐
He is absolutely charming. It's been a while since I lived in NYC, but I found those fellows often charming and friendly.
The humility the man has at the end is simply beautiful. I like that guy.
Im a chess teacher who teaches kids chess in schools in Warsaw. This guy enthusiasm and passion about chess makes me to rethink how I CAN actually improve my beginning lessons with new kids. Well done sir and thank you for showing me the way.
No niezly kocur z tego Pana
This is the way. ⭐
This is the way. 🗿
This is the way. 🗣
It was so awesome to just watch him explain the game!
- teaches with respect and enthusiasm - calls Anna's mother "mom" - calls the knight horse What more could you want
Calling a grown woman / grown man "good girl / good boy" is kinda cringe though. Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner?
@@est9949 It surely is. This just a nice thing to say to keep things coloquial and friendly- He wanted to play. And kids play too. So calling you good girl/good boy just emphasizes this playfull encounter.
@@est9949 In _this_ context, I'd say it was lovely/compassionate/endearing rather than cringe.
I think he called it a horse on purpose. Calling a horse looking piece a knight would be quite confusing to an absolute beginner
4. Tawks with a thick Nuyawk accent (ex-NYer here missing the OG accent:)
This was such a beautiful video of a man with real passion, not just for the game, but to help others acquire a passion for the game. And both or your reactions were perfect in letting him express his passion!
I loved watching every moment of this video. The man is a born teacher. The grand mom is so humble. It is a great drama....I enjoyed the attitude of each one of them. The way lady disclosed her credentials and then the response of the teacher is so natural.... I loved it. This has almost forced me to reinstall lichess on this handset again... Thanks
I met this guy today, after I played a game with him this 4 year old came by and he taught her like I’ve never seen. 10 minutes in and she was playing fully capable. Such a great teacher
That is truly sweet. Edit: I hope that you won 😊. Seriously more importantly, I hope that you both enjoyed the game. 10 years from now that 4 year old will be a grandmaster (she could probably only start entering proper competitions then) 😅.
he may not be good at the game but he is great at teaching this
@@weird7159 And that is a great gift too!
You can tell he has a true love for the game.
best fighters are thanks to their teachers. this sir here can forge legends if he wanted to @@weird7159
I don’t think I have smiled more, the excitement when he found out she was a grandmaster, he just wanted to play more. No embarrassment or anything. I love it
I felt a little embarrassed for him at first until then, and then I just loved him.
Yep, what a fantastic sport he is! Love him.
He absolutely won me over with his enthusiasm and passion, he was really passionate and not making an ego shit about the whole thing :) His reaction is why I like this video.
This man is a fantastic teacher. His enthusiasm and expressive teaching methods will inspire anyone.
Guy is full of positive energy and great attitude to explain and teach the game of chess. This is a great guy, having fun teaching a game he clearly loves. Which is amazing. His narration is just so great. Loving it.
He's a gem. A little old fashioned but full of heart. He was never condescending. And was not ambarassed when he found out she's a grand master.
You should be embarrassed of your spelling of embarrassed

@@LeNumidium stfu, you think idk what a polyglot is? Idc if you know 1 language or 30 I am treating you the same for a mistake. I call you out and you learn. It is unorthodox and could be called bullying by the sensitive but this is how I roll.
He was great, but I'm not sure I agree on the not being condescending. I don't think he asked her once if she'd ever played - he completely assumed she was a total novice, based on nothing.
This man succeded in surpassing Anna's enthousiasme, which is very rare
I love when somebody write something funny. Slowly funny!
@@Lasselucidora General Enthusiasm. Wish I had met this Gent
Anna is enthusiastic. He's condescending. Big difference.
@@GMBethHarmon true, i dont like him 😒
@@GMBethHarmon I don't think that he's condescending. He thought that she was new to the game and wanted to her grab her attention by bringing enthusiasm to the table, sharing his passion for it, if you will.
Man, this absolutely was super humble and very honest. I loved the genuine human interaction, what a great video!
I love this man, he’s so sincere and is truly trying to help and do something good
This guy is a gem. I want to be that enthusiastic always about everything.
He’d probably be a great coach for kids who are beginners. He’d have to do two things though … tidy up his opening play and (this is what I taught kids as a chess coach myself) always assume your opponent is actually a good player no matter what they look like i.e. always treat your opponent with respect.
Such an enthusiastic man. It's impossible to walk away and not see how passionate he is about the game
He should be a chess teacher, honestly.
@@zachgolle1802 I'd be surprised if he doesn't teach to some degree
The cool thing is, he knows he's gonna lose playing to a GM but that excites him even more. His joy and passion is contagious. I hope Anna shares the second game too.
@@aayushdas3145 i doubt he knew he was playing against a top 25 highest rated wgm in history
I love this guy. I believe that this was for entertainment because after telling us to control the center, he moves a pawn on edge.
I needed a smile today and man this guy delivered. kept me in rapture listening and smiling the entire time. the world needs more of this 🙏🏼 also, what a mate!
This man was a total joy to watch in their interaction. I hope I can still be that personable when I’m older and get rid of my bitterness.
Someone needs to hire this man to teach chess. What an amazingly wholesome man
Yeah except he tried to cheat a few times.
@@recurringdream he can forget stuff, its just old man's mistakes
I usually just check how the video turns out when he finds out shes a GM. In this video i couldnt stop hearing the story of chess
Nah, he,'s too fond of listening to himself perorate instead of engaging the other person. He should have assessed his student's level of understanding before starting lecturing. A good teacher listens to his students.
Why would he assume she needed teaching?
The amount of passion and bewilderment in "CAN WE PLAY ONE MORE PLEASE?" after she reveals she is GM, got me right in the heart. He looks at her with such respect. 🥺🥺🥺
its fake, a total set up. stop being gullible.
“Get the old man” “She just did!” ☺️👍🏼
I loved how he wasn't flustered, or ashamed, or mad... He was just sooo excited, like a little boy, that shes a master. Cutest thing ever.
Your mom very humble and kind. God bless her. And the passion of this guy is awesome.
That man has true passion and respect for the game and skills of opponents. Love seeing this
My initial thoughts was he would be condescending, instead, he ended up being one of the best chess teachers I've ever heard. Making chess so exciting to play! What a cool guy.
I'm guilty also.
That was done on purpose I think. The title and picture are click baity af making it look like the guy is being smug to the ladies while they're laughing under their breath. We ALL came into this video thinking we were gonna watch an arrogant person get put into his place.
@Ka chi weird take maybe get your brain checked
He WAS condescending!!
@@natalier6339 how
This guy is gold. He was tricked and STILL kept his cool and enthusiasm.
Why he was tricked. He never asked she can play.
@@kamegoshin8954 Good question. He was tricked in my eyes, as he very sincerely wanted to introduce 2 ladies to the wonderful game of chess. We can have a long talk whether or not it was 'ok' for him to 'simply' assume the both could not play, but then we 1) enter into the fair assumptions based on probability from experience one always makes to assess a situation and 2) based on their very hesitant responses resulting on his heartily invite. The moment they kept quiet on his first basic introduction/questions, the 'trick'/ 'lie' started. Also keeping quiet can be a lie/trick. And in this case certainly. And consciously purposefully even, as it would make 'a great video' if done respectfully. And this great man's response made it indeed a good clip.
@@SPDLand you don't pay enough attention. He knew the daughter from a former match, and he knows how good she is, in the end, he says he had a thought from the beginning. Maybe it seems he was tricked, and maybe he was in a quite lovely way, but I think it was a gift for him to play with her.
@@kamegoshin8954 probably shouldn't tell people they dont pay enough attention if you cant even spell it. pay attention in school.
@@Forever-ec8tm Bro don't get offended, it wasn´t meant personal. English is not my first language and I never had it in school, it was just an input error on my Keyboard when I wrote fast, now I have spell-checked it, thank you.
I love seeing people so enthusiastic about their passion. I didn't think much of this video when I first clicked on it but I could watch/listen to this guy all day haha
This guy is so kind hearted. Just tried his best to teach and get them engaged and then when he found out that they were skilled chess players he was even more excited.
I played chess with him last year. Hes such a kind, humble, and positive individual…love his attitude towards the game and life…people like him should receive more recognition for how much better they make our days :)
Sry for the somewhat irrelevant question but I'm kinda curious... How good is he?
Do you know his name
ho do this things work? you pay for a game? you must bet? he just does it for fun?? I have always wondered how this things worked....
@@satchtamm people just play for fun
@@auraof that is very good to know. I always thought they were hustlers or something
This guy was all passion and excited teaching her how to play chess but humble and honored finding out she was a GM. This guy is awesome!
He totally is yeah!
He could have reacted in so many different ways when they told him the truth.... Beatifull to see him choose pure love for chess!
But I actually truely love that guy for him keeping his inner child alive
I mean yes but he could have also asked rather than assumed they were shit 🙄
I've watched this video before, and I still come back to it sometimes. This guy makes me so excited about playing chess! I'm a novice, but he makes me want to get better.
His enthusiasm is incredible, and the way he reacts to her disclosure is just so kind. I like him a lot. "Can we play one more please!" So cute!
This mans ability is ABSOLUTE GENIUS. Teaching is an artform and he is a Picaso! I feel sorry for those who missed the true greatness displayed in this video.
Maybe for children or slow players... i found him exhausting and patronizing... he sounds like an alcoholic who just drinks and plays chess for 20 years
Yes, he's a grandmaster at teaching chess!
@@Sundayschoolnetwork hes a grand master at getting caught
He might not be a chess grandmaster but he’s clearly an advance player and a master storyteller. And what a beautiful reaction when he realized he’s playing against the real deal. The lack of ego and all the excitement he expressed could only come from true wisdom. Mom might have resented a little bit his condescending tone at first but you could tell she realized at the end its was all theatrical fun for him. A way to amuse himself in the most benign way. Beautiful interaction! Humanity at its best. ❤
He is clearly not after winning the game. He willingly blundered his knight just to tell his story, and so that a move later he can teach that trading favors whoever has more material. There is no ego in this for him. Only the joy of spreading chess as wide as he can.
@@MasterHigure cool, didnt know that :) thanks
Word.
He was good enough to know he had been had and she was much better than she feigned. His reaction was great. " You tricked me. I shouldn't even saying anything you know more than me." Very humble and then he excitedly wanted to play a grandmaster to really test himself. Amazingly sincere interaction
He was never condescending in his tone wtf are you talking about…
He literally asked if she knew and then put 80% effort into getting you both excited about the game and 20% on teaching you. What a fascinating character
What a great video. Thank you for sharing it with us. He is a great talker and loved his passion for the game.
He was so excited to play a game with someone better than him, he obviously loves learning and wants others to learn, hence why he took the time. What a cool guy.
I used to play a miniatures game and got really good at it. It gets to a point where beating new people is boring. The best victories are against the loudmouths.
Yeah I love that he was genuinely trying to teach someone chess, and even when he found out he was being trolled he didn't get upset, he actually got more excited and just wanted another shot at it, all teachers should be like this.
I love being an advocate for a hobby. Introducing others to it and helping them get to the point that they can run screaming into thenight with the hobby is the best feeling.
His excitement at the end is palpable, and a genuine expression of a very gentle heart. Made me tear up a bit
yeah this is an awesome video even as someone who isn’t huge on chess
Are you sure there isn't some dust in the air? ; )
He’s fantastic!
I love this guys passion and enthusiasm for the game. He paints a colorful and creative vision of the game. Hes a great teacher and personality.
Amazing talent and humility on each person involved in this video! Totally set my day on the right path!
I love his inner kid going "I wanna play one more! Just one more! Please?!" I just love the love and energy
i know it is a different platform but I was frantically searching for the heart emoji to respond to this video :)
Mow that he knows he's playing one of the best, he wants to try his best against her to see how he truly measures. Respectable.

Many of the 'chess hustlers' make extra cash on the side by giving private lessons.

He's a great teacher! To listen to him is very entertaining and instructive!
Tears, he's so good at teaching with passion and excitement, never actually looked down on her but kept cheering her on the whole way. And his childlike excitement when he found out made me tear up. I hope everyone gets to feel those kinds of feelings for something they're passionate about. It's truly amazing.
When I first saw this video I was worried that it was going to be condescending but he wasn’t at all. He was just super happy the whole time
Yes. He's great. He has a passion and enthusiasm about the game. Sad to hear some say he's "mansplaining" it to her. He just has passion and love for the game and wants others to experience the same joy....
Live with the joy and enthusiasm of a child.

“Grandmasters always say these two things…” Pia: “yes, we do”
He is so poetic and passionate. Your mom is so patient listening to someone explain things she already knows. This was so wholesome
I think she loved to listen to him too
My thoughts as well. I love that he was just giving such a passionate free lesson to someone that he thought was interested in the game. And yeah it's totally great seeing her patience. Has she plays a long, he can't interrupt that kind of passion! Lol
They'll probably get married.
I clicked on this video so fast. Pia, the Bob Ross of chess, playing a super enthused hustler. I was not disappointed.
This guy is great. A great storyteller and motivator. This was bordering on the cinematic!
He is such a sweet man!! And it is obvious that he loves chess. He took the loss very well and was just excited to be playing someone at "Mom's" level.
Can you imagine this guy as a school teacher, teaching Physics, or Math, I would have more certificates by now if teachers were as passionate as this guy
If this dude taught math and science, I'd be a theoretical physicist
His passion is overflowing. It's beautiful and inspiring
This is the best chess video I have ever seen. Poetical, educational, situational, generational, societal, and simply exceptional.
agree
Well, it would be if she showed the second game!!! How did it go?????
Well said
No, he's bloody cringe and high on fcking crack
Couldn't have said it better.
Love this guy's enthusiasm! I mean, even though we knew from the title what was up, it was good to see this guy showing a willing participant some moves and explaining why you'd want to do each one (even if he lost).
Such an amazing man! So humble and nice! It made my day to know these people exist and are around us! 😊😊😊

That was fun! He was doing a good job explaining and was genuinely excited to find Pia is a real Grandmaster! Thank you, Anna.
the last guy saying "get the old man" was great too
He has respect for the game, so respect for a Master. 💕
This actually brought a tear to my eye right at the end there.. Johnny is SO enthusiastic and his reaction to finding out she was a Grandmaster was just so touching. What a beautiful soul he is.
She still is a grandmaster and plays actively, she is no longer No 1 which she was for a time back in 1984, but still among the best.
Me too! ...and I'm not even a chess player. 🙂
What a wonderful man, his enthusiasm and passion are like a bright beacon and his reaction when he found out he was playing a GM, Priceless
With that passion and enthusiasm, you can be a great teacher in any discipline. I love it!
This is the most wholesome "Pranking Chess hustlers" video out there. No arrogant smirking, no frustrated opponent. Just a funny guy explaining chess to a beginner (and pretty good aswell) + Pia Cramling casually going like "Oh yea, I played Karpov btw"
I could listen to him explaining chess for hours.
Absolutely
Amazing how passionate he is talking about war, I felt like I was playing Anno 1503
Exactly lmao
me too
Really? well see Anna's mom, look at her expression listening to him droning on, she looks exasperated, that's a normal reaction.
what a lovely guy, sharing his passion, whether he thinks he's playing a novice or realising he's playing a GM, so obvious to see he just loves chess
This guy is wonderful. I hope he knows we all love his enthusiasm and his energy
As a retired Teacher (40+ years) I am very impressesd with his enthusiam and his teaching ability, What a great Ambassador for Chess!
Meh. He talks too much
Agree. Do you think he turns chess into a boring formula?
No, he's a boring old fart.
I guess being crazy helps too!
That's clearly mansplaining. She knows more, but he has to explain her!
Im a casual chess player. This guy explained it in a way where i understood strategy. Ive always had 0. Awesome teacher he is!!
Yeah but that's only the beginning. Mid and end game can be a lot more complicated
You don't need strategy at chess. The strategy led your forces to the battlefield. No allies on both sides will switch sides or join later. Now is the end of strategy and the beginning of tactics. You open the battle with a standard formstion and build your swift and unexpected tactics around it.
@@jarlnils435but isnt that indeed, a strategy?
@@jarlnils435strategy and tactics are the same thing. If you really want to make them different, strategy is more long term, and tactics are short term actions that achieve the goal in which your strategy wanted.
love how he expresses so well and puts the emotion in narrating all and making it interesting 👏👍
This whole thing was awesome but his genuine GLEE when he realizes he’s been hustled absolutely made my day.
The energy this man has, he really loves chess and he wants to share that with the world
I like those people, who love chess like this old man. 😃
Loved the guy ❤♟️ Inspiring and poetical. I'm gonna write a character inspired by this great man in my next story.
He would have been a genius 500 years ago.
I want to see how they played next game. It's always amazing playing against masters. This man is a person who beginners need
Yesss pleasee
He had such a great energy. Child like in the best way like someone else here wrote :) Love that he just enjoys it even if it's still his passion!
I love that the gentleman was passionate about teaching a higher level of chess to someone he believed to be a novice. His sincerity and desire to give mom an entertaining experience was admirable. I'm sure there was a further lesson to come, but mom obviously thwarted it. The dude probably gives a lot of people a memorable experience. Full marks to him.
