Thanks to my friends Vinny, Steven, and anyone else who has helped me out in my chess journey!
Thanks to Mike Boyd for all your inspirational videos.
Bro started off the game with “I’m not afraid to run, my cowardice is legendary”. Knew immediately I’d like him
that's my new quote for life honestly lol
Randhel SIVA Chess hustlers are what they’re known as generally. It’s not really an insult directed towards the guy.
"you don't even have to say 'look out.' I'll just run."
I find that line fascinating actually, cause I was reading up recently on chess AI and one thing that really distinguishes them from human players is that the AI isn't afraid to retreat. For humans it's a psychological thing, you don't want to feel like a previous move was a mistake and that you're losing progress and going back to square one, so where possible even grandmasters will opt for moving other pieces up instead. AI doesn't give a fuck, if it sees that running puts it in a better position long term it runs, it doesn't have a sense of shame over it. This dude is dropping some major wisdom.
Mitchell Dale haha that’s interesting af 😭 Thanks for sharing man
Lol this popped into my recommended out of nowhere, but I watched the whole thing. Perhaps KZhead knows me better than I know me.
same here
same here bruh
Tbh he didn't even loose right couldn't he just use his tower to beat the horse
Nvm it changes at like 7minutse
all that chess asmr man.
I played John. He's really nice; he's the nicest Chess player there.
He's definitely one of my favorite Union Square players. He's the only one there now (there was a guy a few years ago missing his front teeth named Chris, whom I haven't seen for awhile) that I've never beaten while playing black. Super nice guy.
I appreciate you at least sharing his name.
@@jd1wheel no problem
@@sugarcaneross that's cool
I thought he seemed really cool, wish he gave a special shout-out to John at the end as well
A lot of fun, but give a little more respect to the man. He was respectful and honorable throughout. "Hustle" and "trash talk" was a poor way to categorize the man before we even meet him.
DANIEL Rogness I agree... Don't think he could be considered a "hustler", not the type of hustler he alluded to!
Idk he was trying to manipulate all game and touching opponents pieces for no reason. Probably pays the guy on the phone next to them to try and distract...
@@theretheyplay2606 they're called hustler for a reason. You're not supposed to know they hustle. Basically he tricked you.
@@BlazedBob That's the dumbest theory, first off NY is always loud as shit, second he doesn't get anything from winning. It's $5 pay to play.
DANIEL Rogness he didn’t categorize that specific man as a trash talker or a hustler. He made a generalization about hustlers as a whole
How about some love for the "hustler" who seemed more like just a guy who loves chess and only wants to play people who are confident enough in their skill to put money on the line. Well done.
Sai Tinson he loves chest? I think you meant chess
Yeah. I think hustler was the wrong word. A hustler pretends to be a poor player to get lots of money. These guys are down here all of the time and playing for low stakes plus are gracious in defeat.
peter davy I wasn’t really trying to I was just trying to let him know that he made a spelling error
You guys must not live in New York. They ask strangers to play and will say if you win you get five dollars then after they win they’ll ask for the five dollars from them. He also mocked him and tried to make him do bad plays
peter davy he did not what? Mock him? The guys I almost said and he says you almost said what? Huh sir? Huh? Then laughs then he told him to move his bottom chess piece with his hand which is worse play to make but ok
I don’t know nothing about chess or ever watched anything like it but this came up in my recommended and amused me
this is an awesome game brah... give it a try... you wont regret
Be careful bro. This game can be extremely addictive.
*Same here lol*
Yea same here, I've always wanted to learn tho.
If you “don’t know nothing about chess” then you must know everything about it. Cool.
"My cowardice is legendary" Wise words from a chess hustler lmao, seems like a very chill guy
I've played this guy in Union Square and he's good. Notice how he tries to create conversations on your time and he's already moving his pieces while you reach for the clock? He's a hustler and that's how he makes his money every day. I respect him and I'm being honest when I say I've never beaten him during the years I lived in NYC.
The only hustler is the guy on the phone talking about the girl not having food preach
He asked for account numbers LOL
On god 😂
was thinking the SAME thing. NYC man.
LMAO 😂
what time in the vid is it?
I thought this guy was the roundkick protester lmao
Same
J same
J wtf I think that KZhead recommended this because of that
CODEZ THE DELINQUENT probably everyone thinking that same based on the thumbnail and clicking it before realising they’ve even duped
i literally watched a video about him before and this was recommended to me
ight but his girl still ain’t got food in the house
its cool homie finna cashapp 100
Effekt1155 what if he don’t got cashapp
the random conversations in the background always give a charm to the chess hustlin vids LOL
When you lost your mommas money gambling on the chess boards 😂
To everyone freaking out when he said ‘stupid move’, chess players say that all of the time when referring to a random move played in a losing position where nothing can be done. He wasn’t calling the guy stupid or the rest of his moves stupid.
HAHAHA I knew when I watched the video that’s why it had dislikes. Yeah, this wasn’t a lack of respect, it was just because the move didn’t matter, damn how do people misunderstand that
FH73 it has dislikes because people think calling this kind man (who isn’t pretending he’s bad at chess, and isn’t running any scam, just playing some chess for money) a hustler in the title. It’s clickbait, it’s dishonest, and it’s rude. 9k dislikes aren’t going to matter much when you’ve got 50k+ likes.
@@callmeqt1269 no man, that's just what people call them. It doesn't mean they're all bad people, it's just the term for those players. I think he explains it at the start, too. He's not being rude there either, it's just what people call those players who play chess outside for money and talk a lot mid-match in NY
@@callmeqt1269 but this is a hustle game
Exactly, which is why he resigned. He knew any further move would be futile because ultimately he was going to be mated in the next 2 moves. He was just saying had he played anything, the move would be useless, since it still would result in him losing. Wasn’t an insult. The people who disliked or got upset at that probably don’t understand chess.
I love how you can literally hear a scam going down in the background.
Ay Star sorry for replying late but when???
@@Zaki-hr3ol 1:43 some guy in the background talking about his girls malnrishment and how he needs her to slide some money or something
It's not a scam . He's asking his friend if he can give him cash then he cash apps it to his other friend
@@JustSomeGuyOk He's either going to give him a fake hundred or "forget" to give it to him and still ask him to send the money under the promise that he'll pay him back later. They tricky with it out here bro.
@@codyyarbrough9514 New York gotta be a scammers heaven
Not cool to trash talk the "hustler." He was very polite with you.
First reply
He didn't rly trash talk
@@ExopMan To be frank, I agree it was not that bad. But it was still bad because the "hustler" probably did not even know this video embarrassing him exists. Its ungentlemanly. He should be allowed to defend his honor. I think the "hustler" should be given the chance to a rematch. But again I repeat, I agree the trash-talking was not that bad.
@@walkingphilosopher do you live in New York? These guys sit there all day, every day, trash talking and embarrassing people. This video wasn't bad, nor embarrassing anyone. If anything, it gives a lot of respect to these guys because he trained an entire year with the goal of just beating one. It was a good match and it was clear they're both great at what they do. There's no social justice to be had here.
@@shaun2463 Ok, not an unreasonable different point of view.
Guys, he said “stupid move” about the hopelessness of the move, not the intelligence behind it. C’mon now... Chill
too many snowflakes my dude
Thats the best part about chess correcting your mistakes and in life somtimes that means your words or what comes out of your mouth ... cmon
noticed that sucker shit
He wouldn't say it in front of that man. That's a 2 faced move
@@mp8359 you probably don’t play chess. There’s a point in the game where all you have left are stupid moves that don’t actually do anything, before the final win move actually plays. Any good chess player can see when it’s at that point and often resign because there’s no point to just spending another 30 seconds moving a pawn aimlessly while the final moves play when there’s no decisions left. It has nothing to do with the person playing, that’s just how the game works. It’s like when you’re playing monopoly and someone owns every single property. Maybe you can get one or two more moves but the game is already over, so they’re stupid moves, just prolonging the inevitable fate that’s already been determined.
This guy seems pretty sound for a hustler. I can't even believe he let you play white.
They always let you play white.
@@hyzercreek no
What does that means?
Nice achievement! The "hustler guy" seem to be very much a gentleman throughout so... let's give him credit for that.
*Yup - not very often to see*
He seemed like a descent chap good luck to him
@Rico No offense taken. Maybe you can elaborate a bit. I'm not much a chess player but I played a few games at Union Square back in the late 90's and I seem to recall that it could get pretty vicious.
@James Aloyisius: OP: agreed. second post: $5 was a lot more back then.
@@b.griffin317 True Story!
Your opponent is pure class. Entertaining, gracious in defeat, great beard. Would have liked a proper introduction to your opponent.
And he was singing Sammy Davis Jr.! I don't play chess but he seemed like a fun guy to play with.
Eh pure class is a reach. he mocked him. Tried to make him do bad plays.
Cassie Lowe lol that’s all fun n games in any competition really. He wasn’t being spiteful. You’re hella sensitive lol.
@@roguevisionzz9302 what other competition allows that? chess is a thinking game by the way. talking during others turn is considered disrespectful. he even mentions it in the video. it's an attempt to throw people off. nothing sensitive about it.
@@XplicitStory Every informal game allows a little playful banter and light trash talk. Sure it would be kind of rude if it was a very formal game of chess in a tournament, but this is a light hearted game in the middle of Union square ofc there's going to be a little banter. Just like if you play a pickup game of basketball at the gym, soccer at the park, pool at a bar, or a poker night. People like you are so annoying he was laughing when the dude was teasing him about not taking the "free" piece, yet here you are trying to look for reason to get offended.

Lmao wtf is with the misogyny in this thread?
The "Trash talker" may of lost the match, but he won my respect.
I played with one of these guys on Washington square when I was 19. He wanted $5 to play, then after he lost he wanted $10 twice, then after losing a third time he asked for $20 down. Finally, he then he took me to a chess club, after he had lost all his money. I gave him back all his money, plus $20 and bought him a meal just outside the chess club. Good man. Great memory.
The young man’s name? Albert Einstein.
Was it one of the chess places that were on bleeker & thompson?
Only comment I'd say is that these guys are not hustlers! I work nearby and often walk through. They just sit and wait for someone to play them. You know what you are getting yourself into...an actual game of chess with a skilled player, wit a little $$$ on the line. Sometimes I watch the games. I've never seen anyone being disrespectful. Also, it seems that the chess players are happy to teach others that are not as skilled and it's a cool little community. I even saw one guy, helping a boy, maybe 8 years old, fine tune his abilities. Anyhow, maybe showing some more respect to these guys would've been nice in the vid. All in all though, was entertaining to watch the chess playing. Hope you still gave this guy a few bucks, especially since you posted the video on youtube with some 1.6+ million views now. And the guy was quite gracious in a loss.
Yeah I thought the same. It would have been nice of him to call out and congratulate his opponent for a good game instead of just placing himself on a pedestal.
Ya I really didn’t like that he’s claiming them to be hustling.. doesn’t seem right. For me a hustler is actively cheating or manipulating and this guys seems like he just loves the game. Nothing wrong with that. Shame
Yeah this guy came across like a bit of an arrogant douche bag, the old guy was perfectly respectful.
That's their hustle. That's how they make money. It doesn't mean they are stealing or scamming you, but they are chess hustlers.
I don't think he gives a shit, just wanted content for his channel.
A lot of these guys aren't really "hustlers", they just love playing chess. Maybe they will ask to play for money so they can get a breakfast from mcdonalds or something but its not like they are trying to scam ppl. Inmates play a TON of chess, because its one of the only fun items you can buy from the commissary (chess/checkers and playing cards). Anyway, some guys will play chess with their cell mates all day long for months or years at a time and they develop a serious passion for chess. Also trash talk is very common but its friendly and they use it to gain psychological advantage (making u think ur playing too slow or have already made a mistake) or to find out what type of person you are if you are new.
he clearly said they sit there all day , so i guess the "passion" is feeding them too
@abobjenkins their stomach fool
@abobjenkins...now i see it , thanks for pointing that out.
When I was locked up we made chess pieces from soap and underwear elastic bands. Lol
@abobjenkins why? My facility didn't have chess.
He was the coolest, most polite hustler that I ever seen.
girl got no food in her house, and he has $100, but needs to give it to another friend so they can cash app it to the girl? ...I'm naive as hell, but Seems there are too many moving parts to seem legit?
Counterfeit $100 bill
Congrats on the win but that doesn’t make the other person a bad guy, he shook your hand and admitted you played a good game, he lost gracefully, he seemed like a really chill dude but again congrats.
The union square player was definitely a cool guy.
Beating someone doesn't make them a bad guy?
@The RightStuff why would he be robbing or begging?
@The RightStuff he was being cool to the dude though lol that's an objective fact lol
@The RightStuff What are you bitching about? Ya trying to imply that we are racist because we find him cool? We can find a chill person cool whithout him being a veteran president. God damnit you sound like the type of person who gets offended over a simple "Hello"
lol I was hoping it was him. He's a real cool cat. Had some great conversations with him back when. He would even give me tips and chess riddles when it got late. You picked a good partner. Quite knowledgeable and one of the chillest players over there. Good game.
Do they play every day like this there?
Haven't been there in a minute, but weather permitting, pretty much every day.
that's tight, damn. Yeah he does seem really, really cool though. Glad I got validation on that too.
@Cyber Stein He's playing chess everyday in Union square I don't think he gives a shit about money...just a man doing what he loves.
5:15 ooo that sneaky Jebait, if he takes it with his rook it's a checkmate with his queen
Yeah, a lot of people giving him shit for calling him a hustler, and while he was super chill and nice he did pull some tricky maneuvers like you pointed out.
@@linkjmc5683 I think for most people (at least in this comment section) aren't meaning anything negative by calling him a chess hustler. Just that he's making a living by playing chess.
@@jetison333 most aren't just a few I have seen complaining about it. Shouldn't have said "a lot of people" in my first comment though.
That was surprisingly enjoyable! Great vid, dude!
I thought they were cheating or scamming, he's actually a cool dude. Misleading title
@Nick Smith Ain't a hustler if he ain't hustling. I was expecting some crazy slight-of-hand kind of stuff.
Most of them talk a lot of shit go to union square and just watch
He isn't cheating or anything but he isn't playing by the conventional rules. Only 30% of it is actually skill in chess and 70% is skill in manipulation. I recon if he wasn't allowed to talk then he would loose more money than he gained. The people who would bet money on winning are actually people who think they are good at chess and probably are. That means on average they are probably equally matched in skill level but where this guy has the advantage is in mind games. He tried to build trust and then suggest "bad" or not so good moves at critical parts in the game and he also tried to use techniques such as trying to make the opponent rush at critical parts by singing. I have tried some of these techniques myself and have managed to beat people who are better at chess than me just by making them rush and therefore increasing the chance of making a mistake. I have also tried pretending that I made a mistake (by sacrificing a piece like he tried to do with the rook, he also tried it with his knite and the rook king fork pin) so they would take the bait and miss a better move. Don't be fooled they do this for a job so they are really good at it.
4:08 he did cheat. Once that piece is placed and the clock is struck its game on. He took 2 turns in 1 move
1:54 “ my homegirl ain’t got no food in her house “ 😂😂
KGEE lmaooo “Ik you got cashapp”
I laughed my ass off!!
I was looking for this comment lool
Sounds like he’s hustling someone. The old “such n such has no food (creates sympathy) and said sympathizer wires money to the person who supposedly has no food however the guy on the phone intercepted the money transfer”. Hell the girl may be in on it. The OP said this park is full of hustlers. I’m from a huge city and I see this type shit everyday
I laughed too lol.
There’s literally a drug deal happening in the background lol

No one cares though it’s chill
Like them or not, these guy's r geniuses... and I love it 😂
4:11 Bobby: I was gonna say... Hustler: What was you going to say sir, for real?
But why do they call them chess hustlers? Hustlers to me has a very negative connotation, like they're cheating, or they're con artists or playing shell games or something. As far as I'm concerned these guys make an honest living, it's a simple one on one fair game, right? I'm not a chess player, so am I missing something? Professional poker players don't get called "poker hustlers," so the "hustler" designation seems unearned to me.
Hustler is more on the designation of those who are trying to make money off of what they know. It’s more like they know the rules, the prices, and the game so they make a living doing what they know. There’s no hard feelings trying to hustle someone for money in a game of chess.
Some of those street chess players actually cheat by making some slight of hand moves or illegal moves really quick
Some(not all)are known to cheat
Hustler definition, an enterprising person determined to succeed; go-getter. Nothing inherritly negative about the term tbh.

Really impressive. No idea why thos was recommended to me but i was glued to the whole match. Good vid to wake me up this morning.
Great video. As an old man latw to chess this makes me want to keep playing. I know ill never be a world champion but i love the game so much and its only fun playing against other above novice players.
Dont see the reason for hate for these "hustlers". Edit: I saw a different video of a hustler that talked waaaaay too much.. I understand now.
Is there anything wrong with it? That's what people expect, so they give it to them. Without being in character they would be just chess players and it would be boring.
Yeah there is. There is a difference between trash talk and being annoying. These hustlers can beat most people they play regardless if they distract or not anyway.
😂😂😂
Well you're a masochist then.
If there's nothing personal in what they are saying I don't see an issue.
And now the crucial part of the game, so what I'm going to do is film half of the board.
I didn't notice that and now that I do I am extremely irritated
Amazing experience! I never knew these urban chess players were so good. Out here, in Bulgaria, we don't have this kind of people, playing on the street for money and joy. That's sad. I realy enjoyed watching this video. Btw, the game was awesome! Realy love the mate. Good work!
Very nice job. Always great to beat a hustler especially in Washington Square Park.
I can't speak for uploader but I believe he meant "stupid" in the sense of "irrelevant" move as it couldn't possibly change the final outcome. It was not directed towards his opponent's ability.
It was obvious
@@wanderer3362 apparently not, to some people!

I don't see why the guy is a chess "hustler". He's not cheating or anything, he's offering to play you for $5 and what you get for your $5 is a challenge.
You don't need to steal to hustle. You just need to make money.

Seemed like a pretty chill dude.
"And he has whatever stupid moves he can make." A bit much, but ok. Really not going to win anybody over with that line.
for real, I want the so called hustler to get a youtube channel lmao, the dude broadcasting this seems to have some hate for them or something considering the terms he used
Didn't take it as insulting his playing ability. It's that the move would be a throwaway - just wasting time to delay moving his king
Completely agree with Ryan K, coulde've said "whatever move he does is useless because this and this" and not use any kind of insult
Yeah, I get the impression this guy isn't very nice.
I don't even know how you could come up with that take. The guy was obviously smart enough NOT to drag it on and make that sort of stupid move. People see a popular video and just want to be mad about it. The dude clearly had respect for the guy he was playing

It will very hard to identify the true hustlers in chess. Most of the time, they will make you feel you are on the same level or you are ahead a bit. That guy you played with, is just a man who likes to play the game. This video is very funny.
a real hustler in any game will be very hard to identify, and if they are really good, u wont even realize it after youve lost loads of cash.........
I see your point but someone sitting there in Union Square with a clock and board all set up is generally viewed as a chess hustler. But you might be right. Plus, it was the first game. Maybe after he said. "One more. Double or nothing but no camera this time." " No, that's cool." "Come on man. A best one out of one game isn't even fair. We have to switch colors like they do in the tournaments. At least a best two out of three. That way we can both have the advantage of going first." Or whatever it is that they say to get you to play again. Maybe he saw it coming from a mile away. Who knows? Lol.

@GrammarNazi@@nick4615 ;P Says the person who uses broken English ("bro"), begins sentences in lower case, and uses very little punctuation ( ;P Not to mention the sentence structure). People should really mow their own grass before they start complaining about how tall their neighbor's grass is. Attacking someone's use of grammar is one of the lowest forms of trolling ( ;) I don't mind dropping to their level, otherwise I wouldn't be here? Just thought I'd return the favor.), but worse when that's their only attack strategy because it reveals their level of intellect or lack there of in most cases. "Stupid" was a poor choice of wording (Especially in this case, as it insinuates arrogance or superiority which is not the case.). Besides, grammar is not always a reliable measure of of one's character or intellect. Some of those we refer to as "true geniuses" had an assortment of problems in school, and/or never even made it passed middle school level curriculum.

Since he beat a shit talker, he now has earned the right to shit talk
eXampL He didn’t say the player was stupid. He said the player resigned because the only moves he could make would have been stupid. Maybe he should have chosen another word, but criticize what he actually said.
That black guy, long shot but is he on KZhead? 😹 I’d definitely watch his videos.
This isn't what you're asking but I noticed he appears on another chess hustling video: kzhead.info/sun/lbalZ7Vxr5WVYJE/bejne.html He's the guy singing "These are the winter games"
Why the cat
hahaha i see what u mean (a)bout the guy
BRAVO!! Good for you.
Good for you man! I'm on a similar journey. I always felt like if I can beat one of those guys I could beat most people lol
It’s always videos like this that end up getting millions of views for no reason and it never ceases to entertain me
Congrats man.
Nice playing man. I've never even been close to winning a chess match but I absolutely love playing! Wish I had more people to play with.
Congrats! Wish I was any good at Chess like you and/or your opponent! :)
1:47 "My homegirl aint got no food at home was wondering if you could send a $100 to her"
I'm surprised she isn't on welfare, everyone else sure seems to be. lol
U listened wrong
@@agentx250 You would be too if you lived in NYC
@gtas321 I'm not crazy enough to live in a large city like that, I also enjoy being able to see further than across the street.
@@agentx250 Speak for yourself, I absolutely love the city
You may have won but he is definitely the better bloke
Yeah, this guy came across as quite the dick
yeah the guy in the beanie actually seemed alright, that definitely isn't as bad as pool hustling. Someone will play shitty and then double or nothing and kill you in the next rack.
It sick it piss.
Voltaire how
It's revolting n it's insulting
Congrats on your achievement!!!
I salute all the legends that don’t know about chess yet still watch these videos cause they so entertaining.
I started my youtube search "Freestyle Motocross Triple Backflip" and 45 minutes later I ended up here! lol.. Awesome video man
I started with "Bill Burr talks about helicopters" and ended up here
DoubleUpOnBob Awesome Video though 🙌🏼🤙🏼
If you are ever going to europe, go to vienna. I played lots of different street players in europe (i live in germany, but also played french, italian and dutch ones) but the ones from vienna wiped me of the board the quickest
Nice
I wish I knew how to play. It just seems so overwhelming. Congratulations on your victory. Best wishes.
impressive. you had him so pinned and in the end at least he was good about it.
He’s like the one guy on your team that goes quiet to concentrate and show how good he is😂
Roses are red Violets are blue I don’t know why this is in my recommended And neither do you
Because KZhead wants you to learn chess.
Or a rather screwy "algorithm" for giving us recommended videos etc's!
Beans are brown that isn't funny cause they'll make your poop all runny
For me, I think it was the Tetris championship.
I like chess but I don't usually watch chess videos
gg both players friendly talk well done and fun to watch!! thanks
That was such a great game Congratulations 🎈🍾🎊🎉
Why villainize someone like this and all they did was play a game of chess with you.
this guy wasnt that bad, you should see other NYC chess hustlers. when they see that you can play, they will try to move the pieces, talk to you to distract you and all kinds of shit
Design'y Bits I thought the black dude was just shooting the shit so to speak. How awkward and anti social would it be if he just stared at you? He seemed like a decent man to me.
@Jim Stark no man.....are you serious? The guy called him a hustler in the video title even though he seemed like a straight shooter.
that's victim mentality, he wasn't being villainized he was seen as a high level player with street smarts, a veteran per se, that's what hustler in this context conotates.
@@floggyWM1 Exactly, I am well aware of real hustlers. This man was a dude in the park playing chess. No trickery or dishonesty. It's a shame to see him being painted as a hustler, "who often berates and insults you" etc etc. The man cant defend himself nor is he getting any of the ad-sense revenue from the 1.5 million views...
"what was you gonna say sir, fo real"
I wonder how it would've gone for Black, if he wouldn't have traded queens but rather moved his queen from QD2 to QG5. What an entertaining match though!
Congrats dude, you played really well
“My Cowardice is legendary” - chess hustler
Were y'all playing for money? If not then he could have been hustling you so you would win and play the next game for money. He seems like he's more just having fun than trying to win.
They play for $5 win or lose, if I recall.
Barbi Bimbo if you win you get the 5 dollar lol
Just agree to a set number of games at the start with no raises in stakes. Problem solved.
1bigjohn11 yeah or lose your fucking house and family...u stupid fucking moron
@1bigjohn11 Poker is game where you can play best in world EVER and still lose.... You can Get lucky and hold best cards.... Play hard to make good hand raise you or play weak to make weak hand follow...and no matter what you can still lose...
Somehow this came into my recommendations but hell yeah. It fascinated me
I was highly disappointed by the final remarks, but the update video beyond redeemed them. Well done!
eksium deus wow you’re easily offended
There used to be a chess hustler in Newark, NJ named "Master Gwynn." He beat everyone in both speed chess and regular chess. Was said to have played Bobby Fischer to a tie. Haven't seen him in over a decade. Wonder if he's still alive.
frozencloud17 no wayyyyyyy Ik him as welllll from timmeee ago
I gotta play him lol
www.judkinscolonialhome.com/obituary/James-E.-Gwyn/Plainfield-New-Jersey/1813046 I live in NJ too so I was thinking what a small world and decided to look him up. Unfortunate news but I believe this might be him? Seems like many people respected him and his chess game
I highly doubt it though, he maybe able to beat most club players, but tieing with Bobby? And he is even unheard of? Is there games notation or anything? If not then playing against Bobby is probably just a story of imagination.
@@triphanquoc6885 ties don't make the news.
the only thing that felt hustlerish was the guy on the phone talking about his girl having no food or money, very loudly like he was almost a plant trying to throw off the other player, sorry if im off base but that felt and sounded very planted like it was meant to throw off the challenger
No bruh it’s just New York
@@k.jamasanlow3119 i get that man...it just felt weird how loud and close he was...like he was trying to be a distraction..but i dont think dudes a hustler..just a solid player wjo likes playing..he never played it.off like he sucked or anything to draw him in.
como2277 My guy come down to Manhattan and you‘ll be hearin that shit all day long on the train, in the streets, everywhere.
I hope his homegirl managed to get that food
Gordon Padgett doubt that money was going into any girls fridge
I really appreciated the civility that was in that game accolades for both players
Congrats on your victory!
