Ashley starts with just 90 seconds to his opponent's 5 minutes.
Played in Fulton Park, Brooklyn, August 25, 2012
I've been watching videos of people playing chess for like 45 minutes now...have no idea how I ended up here.
Moe Moe chess is contagious it's the best board game ever in my opinion
5 months later i follow in your footsteps...
Hahaha I was working on a motion graphics video, by chance a chess game appeared on my search (wasn't related to my search), and here I am 3 hours watching chess games I love to play with my son he is getting really good after just two years and is very difficult for me to keep up with him, but love to keep trying since I introduced him to the game.
Magic shrooms will do that to you.
Same here! Went ahead and downloaded lichess and chess.com app =)
I wish I lived in a city where people played chess in the park :(
I tried forming a chess club for my city but it didn't take off.
Verratos Rogue dork
@@miketython1493 wow that was impressively childish.
...or listened to real Hip Hop on the regular
New York has everything.
Anyone else here just enjoy watching these chess players even though they have no idea what's going on?
Actually, they played very good chess. Maurice Ashley is a Grandmaster, btw. He could beat you 1000 games straight (without a clock).
oh yeah, definitely. I guess I worded that terribly. I meant that I enjoy watching them play even though I have no idea what's going on.
Oh. YOU have no idea what's going on. That makes more sense. lol They do move pretty fast though, so it was hard for me to follow too.
Ohhhhhh hahaha.... yeah, I was about to say... one guy is a 2145 and the other a Grandmaster lol. Yeah they're so good, they move ridiculously quick. I had to pause it a few times to see everything.
nice wording hahah
At first I was paying attention but then I realized how absolutely dank the background music was
Brooklyn Vibes
ThisisMy Username do you know the song name bro
Guy - Groove Me
Love Bug Starsky - you gotta believe
That song goes waaay baaack Love Bug Starski
I love how worn the center squares are
Kasparov must be proud.
From slamming
I love that they’re still listening to this funky old school shit in 2012 in NYC
His opponent put up one heck of a fight. Well done
Just stumbled on these Brooklyn chess videos and its reawakened my love of this game
taken my FIDE rating from sub 1200 to around 1450 ish all because of these very cool videos, thanks for the upload
This radio they bumping straight out of a GTA game.
Needs more Judge Grady.

This is probably the best chess video I've seen on KZhead. GM Maurice Ashley is awesome!
Dear GM Maurice Ashley, You are a great personality, I admire and salute you. I have seen most of your video on youtube. Allow me to remind you that you are a hero to so many children especially black children, you are their inspirations so... it requires great responsibility on your part not to let them down. Good luck on your chess and God Bless You.
another racist
No. He was just showing some love.
I can see you are quite familiar with the term racist. There may be help for you with proper medical assistance.
Ronald brown your right, but what he say only black children though :/
+COW He didn't say only black children. He said that he was a hero "to so many children" but "especially black children." How is that racist? And you called the dude a "racist n-word" after he left a nice comment for someone he obviously looks up to. Sorry, but you're the only one bringing racism into this comment section.
Mo cranking up the pressure relentlessly on the queen side. Impressive speed play.
Wow I haven't heard "Groove Me" by Guy in a while
And, the award for Best Music in a Chess Video goes to...
Well played! I really enjoyed watching.
WOAH Maurice you're BLINDING me with that timepiece man!
Thoroughly enjoyed analysing this game well played Maurice in an amazingly fast time the last fork on the two rooks was the decisive move
"African continent GMs do exist; but, according to the system of racial classification, I am the first Black GM in history... it matters, and doesn't matter, all at the same time. --Maurice Ashley.
John Dunbar no
John Dunbar ? What a weird comment, please explain
@@matatmat he can't. F'em.
@John Dunbar foh
You are a very weak GM!!!
wow this was so so so awesome to watch
I really like and respect GM Maurice A. Since seeing his game with Wilson .
Very smooth! Good work GM Ashley! :)
Great game and music
The music is 🔥🔥🔥
The music is amazing.
I am so digging the song
Wow the late great Sweet Pea is in the background RIP. A legend from Washington Square Park
The music in the background was sweet haha especially at the bishop move in the end
I love watching Maurice Ashley play!
dude, full respect to his opponent, 5 minute more or not, that was an amazing effort!
To me this is CHESS Igrew up playin chess in the war memorial plaza in Baltimore till they shut it down. Now we all play at Reisterstown plaza but this is real mental martial arts I love this shit
Love to see him bumping at 3:47 :) the bishop forking the rooks made my jaw drop too
Great music.
hell yes
I can't really recognize the song, but they are talking about Low End Theory, an album by A Tribe Called Quest, so I'm guessing it's one of their songs. Feel free to check them out, they are great :)
it’s not tribe it’s old skool new jack swing, maybe teddy riley/guy
Qwampa1 Yup, Guy - Groove Me
Love bug starski - you gotta believe
I don’t know what I enjoyed more, the chess or the music!
This was randomly recommended. Didn’t notice this video is playing backwards
It's not a chess match unless everyone watching is coughing.
This was great.
That's a Grand Master watch that Maurice is wearing right there.
Maurice Ashley in 1999 Became 1st and only African descent Jamaican/ and American Grandmaster.
such a chill vibe
I would love to get this exact audio from the radio onto my drive so I can groove it out whenever I want
amazing game
i love this moments!!
this so great to see i wish they would have battle on espn
Saturday afternoon: Blitz in park, 'BLS blairing in the background, a mild Summer afternoon in NYC. Priceless !
Yep. I remember the days.
I found amazing how the GM had the move Bxd4 prepared and realized at the last moment in a blitz of a second that he's gonna be mated if he tries to win the pawn and the exange. Too bad white didn't realize the threat and lost the pawn by pinning his own bishop....
i had to think about it to understand that it would have been mate, he did in less than 2 secs, that's why he's GM and we're not :D
leratluci only if he took the rook. but he would have lost the bishop.
leratluci that was quite a moment
2:59 for this, guys
I wonder what he was going to say "How can you be that..."
Great chess videos!
I like how they handle the pieces
something about chess and this music is perfect
I found out about Ashley when I saw a vid of him playing Wilson in the park been trying to study his games since great chess player
superb recovery by Maurice there in the middle game
4:21 Rf6+ Kg5 Rf5# Missed mate in 2 i guess
+Rasmus Hvidberg Very correct! But you know time pressure often clouds chess players' minds.
+Rasmus Hvidberg if Rf6+ then Kxe5 am i missing something?
panos kalyvites Instead of Maurice's Be5, he should have just played Rf6+. His bishop was on d4, not e5. Get it bro?
+Goriola Adio oh now it makes perfect sense!
panos kalyvites...the beauty of Chess...
@ 2:59 GM Maurice Ashley says "How can you do that?" because he wants to win a free pawn by playing 25. ..., Bxd4 because of the pinned bishop on e3. Incredibly though, even in bullet time controls, he spots the reason it can't be played: 26. Bxd4, Rxe1?? 27. Ra8+, Re8 28. Rxe8+, Kh7 29. Rh8# He realizes this after he has already picked up the bishop so the touch rule forces him to play the bishop anyway. He chooses 25. ..., Bf6.
icgantshat that's sick
icgantshat I didnt notice that tactic years ago when i first saw this video. Im glad to have seen it immediately now that ive improved!
What a beautiful comment. Thanks!
icgantshat in English?
At the timestamp it seems like he can take the pawn his bishop is attacking for free since the white bishop defending it is pinned (can't move without dropping the rook). In reality, if he takes the pawn and the rook immediately, he loses the game on the spot because it's a forced checkmate.
I love Maurice!
Times like this make me happy i was tought my maurice ashley thank god he came to automotive
song name is 'Groove Me' by artist called Guy
THE SET UPS AND THAT BISHOP MOVE DID DAMAGE.👍🏅 RESPECT MASTER.
3:49 jamming out and knew he was going to win
Seen this video a few times.. every time I say that is a catchy song.
Maurice flexing that super dope watch in the beginning ^^
insane tactics
How, great video!
That was smooth
nice game
Smooth game
this is just art
Great GM Maurice's win.
Background Music : Love Bug Starski - You've Gotta Believe
This is Blitz my friend.
I've seen Maurice play blind folded very impressive
I played leon last weekend im rated 1950 and he crushed me 3-0. i would say hes probbaly rated around 2300 by now. cool to see him play a GM ashley.
5:11( guy in the middle ) that's my pops ! RIP DADDY I LOVE YOU!
damn thats washington square park legend sweet pea in the backround. RIP
amazing
At 3:00 ..Rxa5 was a nice tactical shot as it seems Bishop can win pawn on d4 due to pin on rook on e1. Maurice even picks bishop but then realises that there is a nice tactical shot .. if Bxd4 then Bxd4 Rxe1 Ra8+ Kh7 followed by Rh8# is checkmate..he realises that, therefore puts the bishop back down and says "How can you do that"? Later at 3:40 however he does get the same Bxd4.
There is a nice moment in this game : at 3:00 ...Bxd4 seems to win at least a crucial pawn for black since Bxd4 Rxe1 loses the rook...but then Ra8+ Kh7 Rh8# and white wins ! Maurice maybe wanted to play Bxd4 but after some calculations he placed his bishop back on g7 and played Bf6 instead.
Dude is a beast!
Wow. MA still beat a 2145 player with a 3 1/2 minute disadvantage on a 5 minute blitz game!
that's crazy to think he is 2145 rated player
Nice win Mr. Ashley.
4:22 Ashley misses mate in two: Rf6+ Kg5 Rf5#.
nice game, nice old skool music
That was actually entertaining
Straight up Brooklyn. From the chess play down to the music. Old school R&B group Guy, with Groove Me.
Love that old school track, Guy - groove me
Nice watch
3:48 Ashley started his victory dance XD
😂
4:51 " Son of a b***"

Smooth.
Cool video
thinking on borrowed time i like it!
It’s so satisfying watching his opponents go from attacking to retreating in a matter of 2 moves lol
Smooth
What a picturesque scenario.
4:24 I can hear that guy in that famous hustler game Ashley played lol! Bet you didn’t notice
Unbelievable catch if true
Wilson’s in the house! 😂😂😂😂
