I TROLLED This Chess Hustler Into Thinking I Was A Beginner
In this video, I went to Union Square Park and tried to make my opponent think I was a beginner in chess. His name is Tyrone and is a super nice guy that loves teaching chess! This was all just in good fun, and my opponent took it really well when I told him my real strength.
A chess hustler is just someone that plays chess on the streets for money. Union Square Park is a famous chess hustling NYC park, where hustlers play visitors from all over the world.

This was all just in good fun! Tyrone was really nice and you should play him if you're ever in Union Square Park. Chess hustling typically just means playing street chess for small amounts of money. I told Tyrone after this game my true strength and he took it really well. Thanks for watching
And how many of those games did he win, my fair lady
I think he could beat you in some of games
plot twist: he beat her in all the other games she didn't show
@@largestcamil4854 Nope
Anna your nasty haha
This guy's name is Ty and he's an amazing human. He love's to play chess for fun in the park and he's not a hustler; he doesn't gamble. In fact, when I played him last week, he had mentioned this video and told me how many positive comments he received. The positive comments about him really made him happy.
That's absolutely beautiful. I've seen him for years and decided to bring him food and get a game in because of your comment.
He seems very cool guy :)
he should do a youtube channel
where is this where people play chess in public
@@TateSpeechEM the south end of Union Square Park in Manhattan. 14th Street and Broadway.
01:08 When he began explaining I realized, this man is not a hustler, but a chess lover. What a sweet guy.
Agreed. These are not hustlers. Most of these people are retired, and play in the parks just for fun.
Yesh,kinda like Nevermann
Yeah I don’t think she knows what Trolls or Hustler means. He recognized almost immediately that she could play. She didn’t troll anybody. And he’s no hustler.
@@billybutcher3168 She knows exactly. Lol. It's a clickbait title. I can't blame her too much. That's just how the game is played but it is a little mean spirited especially since he was genuinely encouraging instead of patronising.
I may be wrong, but early on, he was giving her advice, that would have given him the advantage. He did not really try to teach, until he realized he was in a fight.
not a hustler, a humble kind and honest man who generously shared his knowledge and took you as advertised.
yeah his guard was down from the first half and it would be more like she was the hustler
He is. It’s called chess hustling
Y'all need to stop telling everyone that hustler is a derogatory term. It's more harmful than altruistic... Next you're going to tell me that everyone who calls themselves a hustler or hustla is just insulting themselves, lol, or that my mom and pops telling me to hustle up was demeaning.
As a beginner, I love how they explain almost every move they make. Really learned a lot
I didn’t see a hustler. All I saw was a kind man who was genuinely trying to share his chess knowledge with someone he thought was a novice. Excellent chess companion and teacher.
@True AF she's the hustler here, but video title aside, it's a good video.
Totally agree!
and then she decided to exploit it for views. yuck.
She hustled us!
I saw one and she posted the video lol
This dudes a class act...he's never talking down to her and u can tell he just wants others to enjoy the game as much as he does
What a great guy indeed!
I learnt some great tips myself. "I would've done this but we all play different ways...." I gotta remember that one!
I agree, but why is he wearing a mask on his chin?
Never talking down, while assuming she knows nothing about chess and mansplaning. What a helpful guy.
He’s a really nice man!
I felt bad for him because he was being so sincere and had no idea he was being set up. Seems like a great guy.
Yeah the girl like took on the classic dumb blonde roll to troll this sweet man. So much disrespect
Almost seems a little rude to call him a hustler just for the views, especially with all the negativity people assume these days.
She's attractive, intelligent and into role playing. Could be fun.
What a charming dude.
@@thebeastmaster3453I hear ya…. so much hate.
What a cool game. Ty was great because he explains the game and enjoys other players skill while also showing his stuff. A true gentleman.
Wasn't much of a hustler. Just a kind old man with a love for the game, he was excited to teach you when he thought you were new, and excited to talk strategy with you when he realized you weren't.
yet I could not decipher even one complete sentence of what he was constantly mumbling under his hygiene mask. BTW the game did not reach the end, am I wrong?
This idea of fooling chess players is sad when you do it to such a nice guy who seem to have a heart of gold. I don't understand the need to do this. It only makes her look so bad. I can't watch type of videos anymore.
@@ronen124 I guess you didn't listen closely enough... it was pretty clear what he was saying all along
I have played many games at various public spots in NYC, and my experience is that most of the players are just lovers of the game. They're just trying to make their way.
@@twinwankel ever heard of a joke?
So proud of Tyrone, he did a great job explaining his strategy and being kind to Anna.
Is that seriously his name?
😏
Tyrone is a good player. He might become a master someday. He definitely shows that chess "hustlers" are excellent players.
I really enjoyed his commentary
@@ole_limberlegs For a weak 1100 player like me, with no training - it was great to listen to an easy to follow thought process with less notation.
Such a wholesome game - the guy seems like a genuinely nice soul - protect him at all costs.
From what? Why? How? 🦧
I appreciate how you reciprocated his conversation. Even after he realised you were the real deal, he never let up the honesty and continued the conversation
This guy needs his own channel! He’s a great giving/loving teacher and commentator and clearly loves the game so much!
What an awful thing to do to deceive such a kind person.
AGREE SO mUCH
Ty is a cool guy👍
This is 5 months later. Does he have his own channel yet? I'm very much looking forward to seeing it.
She used him to make money. She's probably made AT LEAST 10,000 dollars off of deceiving this man, not even counting the additional traffic she generated to her channel and future potential earnings, and he didn't receive a cent.
he's explaining everything openly, wouldn't you be the hustler in this case?
I was thinking the same thing.
I think they became hustlers for their KZhead audience after that beautiful game in an emotional experiment, the hints were in the queen's gambit ;) ❤💚💙🙏🏽
She’s definitely the hustler in this video lol
Two can be hustling but the winner is the better hustler
Right. She’s the hustler
Not nice at all to call this man a hustler. He's got a big heart and great love for the game!
100% agree
It's just a name for the park players that don't always play for money but sometimes do. Chess Hustler is not a negative charged word in my opinion
@@deadzen Exactly, thank you
@@deadzen There is so many people that do not understand this...
@@deadzen you’re right. Idiots on internet love the fake outrage.
He should be a chess tutor. Such passion for the game and a very wholesome nature. Cool 😎
Ty is a generous guy! Even when his suspicion was serving him right, he still continued to explain, offer advice and encourage her. A true master of the game.
If anyone was a 'Chess Hustler', it was Anna x) She started the game leading him under the pretense that she was new, but then she titled the video as if he was the hustler. He was nothing but helpful and playful while sharing chess knowledge. Not once did he try to come off as if he knew less than he did. The game and conversation were fun and enjoyable to view, but the title seems to be a bit of click-bait.
Yeah, calling him a hustler isn't quite fair. But still a fun video and good vibes.
Yeah, he's not a hustler at all. Far from it. He's a pure teacher who loves the game.
Do you know what that guy does every day out there? He is a hustler... she didnt say he tried to hustler her he knew he was being recorded and that girl doesnt exactly look like a local who plays there so he knew to be cool.
@@natedaugherty6889 Better than bending over the armchair for your boss at your meager job Nate, and sure beats begging for money for your bullshit meds, like you do online
@@natedaugherty6889 how do they hustle people?
I loved how they talked to each other and explained their moves it was fun to watch...
This guy was great! I love how he explained the game as he went and then gradually began talking out loud as he thought, then switched to asking without any frustration or ego.
"Me and my mom used to play a lot" - aaaah, yeah... my mom... GM Pia Cramling :)
lolol
that was just...true, they just played a lot
My dad too……
She wasn’t lying lol
i saw anna in Gibraltar when she was just a kid she got prize in her sectionher mom did well in the open
The man treated Anna like his own daughter. Such a loving man.
I don't know why but I just love it when different races relate well together
@@trevormawulana980 what ? you mean like every day outside of propaganda media ?

@@jimreadey4837 beautiful isn't it?
@@trevormawulana980 ehh? Where do u live? The only time I see "racism" is on TV and the internet.. irl ppl usually are very nice and don't even think about race.. u know like tv and the internet until 10 yrs ago.
I really love her energy, giggles and smile.. what a gorgeous personality to watch. Fab. I loved the guy too, so chilled and explaining things to people that are new to the game, very refreshing.
I love this guy. He seems like an amazing teacher and person overall.
This guy was such a class act. Not only is he playing an FM, but he's also unknowingly disclosing every single one of his ideas to this FM basically foregoing any possible advantage he could have over her. And he still managed to get a great position! This dude is a super strong player!! Impressed! 💪
The both made queen blunders which extended the game.
Much respect to that man. He took that "L" like an adult and didn't attempt to make any excuses or whine about it. Very good game to you both.
I’m sure he would’ve taken her more seriously if he knew who she was she was just hustling for a video
agree with this
You dont become a good professional hustler unless youre willing to learn by losing in life. "Success truely is the result of good judgement. Good judgement is the result of experience, an experience is often the result of bad judgment." All people who become good at their profession took a lot of losses in life in order for them start winning. And even then you can still lose but thats true wisdom.
Taking the L is the mark of a real winner. Something the younger generation doesn't; understand is an L is an opportunity to review where you where weakest, and focus on building up that area of your skillset.
you got me fooled 🤣.
This guy seems like a really nice guy... He was explaining things to what he thought was a new player. He's even explaining what he's thinking and why.
I love this guy! He's such a nice human and I could easily spend the whole day hanging out playing chess with him
Tyrone is a class act. Fun all round. Even if people lose to him and learn something, they really won.
Just a nice elderly gentleman who seemed full of enthusiasm for Chess.
Cool guy Fr
Repent to Jesus Christ “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23 NIV
I've lost to this guy so many times
@@connorpelcher When you lose, do you have to pay? Like are you better 20 bucks you will win?
A fine gentleman. We need more like him in the world.
Agree!
I get what you meant! (Said and unsaid, reading between the lines!)
It takes time and effort to mature like that.
This man is so wholesome and anna is one of the nicest people I love watching you ❤❤❤
So Random your video Anna. Never ever searched for Chess in KZhead, Google or anyway other ways. I actually for got about the game. I use to play in school when I was young. Now I got to start again. I love the conversation between you two. This was a very refreshing video, thank you.
It's honestly ironic that she's the one technically "hustling him" by being deceitful, while he's openly just talking about the game being nice and the title is that somehow.. HE'S the hustler???? wth
without the clock it gave the lady the confidence to make the right moves, with the clock on it's really hard to think what's the next move while sweating time is against you.
What a nice geeza. You'd have thought he'd catch on but nope, 5 minutes in, every turn with the tone of surprise, "That was a good move!" and "you've got an edge... whether you know it or not." Adorable. Almost cruel on your part Anna, you sold the troll too well!
You think he was still buying it at the end? lol
@@Jesterian no you're right- I made that comment at about 5 minutes in And essentially right afterward he was saying, "oh so you DO know how to play!"
With how popular this style of video has become, I think alarm bells will ring whenever it's a young woman who wants to film her game.
5:32
@@Jesterian I think he understood quite fast at the beginning that she knew what she was doing as she knew the jargon (which comes already late on someones playing career). At the same time however, he's used to win everytime with normal people, so he had lots of fun, seeing his moves being worked upon. :) Both had fun in the end, which is great!
This was funny, entertaining and great game! So Interesting to have your constant conversation about the game in contrast to a tournament setting.
Love this video. Just stumbled upon it and boy was it refreshing. Love the both of you for the way you played the game and the explanatory nature you both displayed. ❤❤❤
Like most viewers I just loved this guy and his coaching and encouragement. He is a great chess ambassador and we should all be so lucky to have him as our park hustler
Totally
The kindest 'hustler' ever, who explains what he's doing and shares his knowledge so nicely!
He knew what was up and he was explaining nothing she did not already know.
@@toriless the world has broken you my friend
@@toriless i feel sorry for you
@@toriless so lame
I had a grin on my face the entire time. What a joy to watch.
Such a wholesome engagement. This dude seems like an awesome guy.
I liked that he was big enough to admit that he learned something from you at the end of the game. Especially since he spent the whole game trying to teach you.
I wish more people talked out loud like this. I feel like I learned so much more with someone explaining the moves.
This was incredible. The back and forth taught us all something
I like the hustler, he seems very kind
I think the description "hustler" gets overused. I can count on my fingers the ones that can lower their ability to the point where it is not noticeable ie blundering pieces and making anti positional moves, so that when you win, it appears to be as a result of a genuine struggle and when you lose (when substantial money is wagered on the game) the game also is very competitive.
@@Vedioviswritingservice I’m not even sure what u just said right there, i only understood the first sentence 😂
No he knew already that Anna is not a beginner
Of course. That is part of the hustle.
Anna’s the hustler on this video
Tbf if you were a real beginner meeting someone like this guy would be a good way to get better because it's not like he was bad at chess seems to give good advice. Nice video
Dudes providing a fair bit entertainment imo
I have to say that the people Anna plays against are just wonderful and usually very kind, no matter what they do or don't know about her abilities. I especially like the players who think she is a beginner..they are often really good teachers, and the spirit of friendly competition is really good to see, Chess players are so bright. I wish I could think on so many levels at once, but I just don't have that kind of mind. It's so amazing to me! When I was 9 I briefly knew how to play, but there was no one to play with and i forgot it all.
This sweet gentleman reminds me of my dad. Brings me to tears.
This guy seems like a genuine teacher , props to him
He also had winning positions at least 2 times
The fact is that you hustled him by pretending to be a noob. There was no trolling here. It's a fun video, but only because he was so gracious. I'm glad you told him and he took it well. It's a Hollywood myth that the people playing chess in NYC are "hustlers" looking to con people out of money. Most are just making good use of the skills and knowledge they have to make some money while playing the game they love. And some of them, like this guy, share that love so generously.
The Old dude is so charming.
“Chess hustlers” are not con men. There’s no negativity in that term.
Yeah, if making $ from chess is the issue (?!?!), then, um, chess streamers are a bigger one?!! ...
As Chapelle learned with the 3 card monty hustler, "Never get between a man and his meal." (I might be paraphrasing). @@nou1186
This is really wholesome content. 2 fun people having fun and a giggle playing chess. I didn't even know that chess could be this entertaining
Loved watching this game. Loved Ty’s commentary band love of the game.
You could have described this kind, intelligent man in so many words other than “hustler” and still gotten the views you were going for.
Yes. Not a fan of the title just for views.
100
She profited off of this man. Fucking scummy
If you knew anything about chess you’d know hustler just means anyone who plays for money. Take your fake outrage somewhere else.
It's all about her.
the dialogue helped my 400 rating brain understand each move like a gm what a great guy
I love that she's testing him and he's teaching her lol idk why but it makes me happy to see them both happy
I believe they used the word “hustler” to entice the viewer to watch. He’s a gem of a human, and they are good sports.
That’s what you call a “friendly game of chess.” Normally I find chess hard to watch, but this was quite enjoyable. Very nice.
I learned some things just listening to them think out loud. He was pretty cool, but I love how he continued giving advice after he lost on the clock.
he wasnt giving advice, he was afraid of losing
@@fruitsandveges2892 Mmm... No? He just thought he found a very talented begginer and got excited, as many of us would.
@@ACSMEX eh a few time his advice was a trap eg around 12:16 where he says I guess you have got to go here then. She calls him out and he rolls and pretends he was just testing her, but he was setting her up. There were a few other times like that as well. His helpfull mentor behavior lets him also take advantage of a moment of indecision if he catches a green player on the back foot.
@@fruitsandveges2892 no I really think this guy simply enjoys his chess and likes to express his ideas, he even forgot about the clock because he was so into the game.
He lost on time but he still had a won game on the board, until he let her take his g pawn which he could have easily defended.
What a sweet guy! Very kind, and an excellent player too!!
Just stumbled onto this channel. I find the way she engages with her opponents so charming! Love this channel. I don't have too much interest in chess, but this dialogue is great!
He seems like such a kind genuine dude. He was my favorite part. Playfully aggressive, but so friendly.
Hustlers tend to play aggressive trying to force a blunder.
It's pretty much impossible for someone who's an expert at something to pretent to be a beginner, Anna was saying things that gave it away like "kick it away" and then the chess gave it away, "me and my mum played alot" is a bit of an understatement:-)! Like he said "you do know how to play" He was actually really kind, lovely and sweet to Anna when he thought she didn't know anything explaining everything, felt bad for him at some points. Still I think he enjoyed the game, it was a great comeback at the end well done!
where this take place
@@largestcamil4854 union square, nyc. played against this guy somewhat recently. he's very welcoming and really loves the game
Such as file
I think, when he found out, he was very happy to have an interesting and strong chess opponent as well
@Trevor Porter Throwing the game away like when Hikaru made his Botez Gambit Speedrun agains GMs (okay that was only +6 after minor piece compensation)?
I have no idea how your videos came to my attention, I don't even play chess, but I am glad it did. You are an amazing player with a smile that can brighten a rainy day.
I’m from the UK and love how you guys can play chess out in the open. Over here the board and pieces would be swept away any second by a deluge of rain. Ty is an example to us all. Clearly he loves the game but I really like the way he offers a commentary. He’s also a very good player. Chess needs characters and anyone would be comfortable in his company even if they lose!! God bless you Ty from Mike in the UK.
Dude could have a twitch channel. He is sweet and explains things very well.
That’s actually a good idea. These twitch/KZhead players who hustle the hustlers should be kind and introduce them to the platforms and help them get set up
He seems to have the personality for it.
Let the guy enjoy his last days in the sunny park instead of alone, behind a screen or fixated to a smartphone
I like how after you start beating him he's still intent on offering suggestions and giving lessons.
She was only beating him at the very end when he blundered with Rd2 instead of h5.
Great kind guy! I wish him all the best.
Can we acknowledge that this guy saw the mate in 8 and played into it to see if she could follow through. What an absolute unit!
Shout out to you Ty! He is a teacher of the game and a humble man! Wish there were more gentle heart like him in this crazy world.
He's undoubtedly a good player, doesn't take him long to realize she knows what she's doing.
Same thing I was going to say. He was picking up the cues really quick yet still explaining his thoughts as if she was a beginner just in case. Class act there.
The title of this vid is SO wrong. She should be ashamed of herself.
Guy was very clear in explaining what he was doing
What a nice man and good player. He recognized your ability early on. He would be a fun person to play chess against.
He almost won 😂 Some chess hustlers are stronger than we may think. 🙂
A lot of them are solid 2000ish
A few of them are even stronger than 2000. GMs have trouble in some parks
@@MostLikelyMortal plus they’re in their element. Home court advantage.
@@MostLikelyMortal what GM was having trouble?

This guy is so cool, what a sweet guy! It's always awesome to see kind people just having fun playing chess
Well played, both! And both players are very kind!
This woman is so sweet and kind. Hard to find this kind nowdays.
Moments like this make me remember, there is so much "good" in this world. So nice and heartwarming
ya but you know why you are saying that. because most times when 2 people like this meet eachother you know one is in danger if they are alone for 2 seconds. you felt the need to make this comment because you know this isn't the norm.
@@Bmetalful i dont know if i understand you right.. What i ment in my comment was, there is no Egoism to see in this video and chessgame between this two beautiful blissed humans. Very friendful and respectful, like they know each other for hundreds of years. This is how every person on earth should be..
his love for the game shines through so much and it's beautiful. Best kind of player imaginable
What a beautiful human, good man, good player, and a good game.
He seems to be a fun and nice guy to play with that enjoys sharing, teaching and making the game a good experience for both sides.
I don’t know how the algorithm recommended this video but I really enjoyed it. Both people are charismatic and energetic. She has amazing character.
Same here, showed up randomly on my feed and I am glad it did.
Same! Such a wholesome interaction!
Because your phone is listening to you. I just played my son several games the other day, this popping up in my feed is no coincidence.
That man needs to be a chess commentator. He explains the positions in an engaging way.
Such a great guy. You can see he has a great mind by the way he tackles the whole situation. Humble and very, very smart.
You're absolutely right!
I love the level of verbosity on both sides as I learn the thinking process of every move! Very valuable information ℹ️🤗
The streaming setup might have tipped him off that he was about to be hustled. Cool of him to play along.
you know it's a real game when it's not about winning or losing, but finishing and learning.
What a lovely man. He's teaching people as he plays, and knew when you had him, and congratulated you for it.
Love this kind of videos! Next time it'd be nice if you add the reaction of the person getting pranked. It's always funny to see how they react!
I love this man's analysis. I used to stop by and watch the chess hustlers in Chicago along the lake, where they have shelters with cement chess board tables installed by the city. And in New Orleans, the hustlers would set up their boards on top of the trash bins on Bourbon Street. Wish I could go back and watch more. I'm barely 1000, but I LOVE chess!!! If you've never seen it, watch the movie "Searching For Bobby Fisher." It's based on a true story about a kid chess prodigy.
That dude's amazing! So caring and explained everything well. You need to play him without feigning that you're a beginner and see how you both fair.
two lovely people, playing what they love most in the most wholesome way possible. I loved it.
uggghh. so pretentious
You understand by pretending to be a beginner you’re THE HUSTLER…The gentleman appeared genuinely excited to help someone learn the game he loves.
Love that Ty is trying to teach her without talking down to her or sounding condescending. Super cool guy in my book.
I one time played this man, ooofff boy did i get humbled and he was even coaching me throughout my own moves xD, he offered to help teach me afterwards but i haven't had the time to return to union square. glad to see Tyrone is still being Tyrone.
Where were you when you played against him. I know where but can you enlighten me?
This was absolutely fantastic. Two great players going all out and both opponents were very respectful. The gentleman everyone is calling Ty is a class act all the way. If he had a channel that taught intermediate to expert levels of chess playing, I would watch it every single day. He's not a hustler, he is an educator.
What a lovely guy, thinking he's teaching you how to play chess, the world needs more people like him.
Respect for the man talking you through it, trusting that you’re good willed (and not lying).
He was so informative and kind to you. I love him his energy his understanding of the game and how he explains what he does and why it's wholesome! Big up Ty!
I love seeing this, just two good people having a game of chess
Good guy. He made a mistake not defending that pawn closing the king.
I don't play chess but the fact that two totally different people playing together and having great fun also made me happy. He is such a great sport and she is so adorable sitting and playing with him was worth the watch :)
