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.

This guy is a great teacher. He trained her mom to be a GM in just one lesson.

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.

"Can we play one more, please?" when he asked this I welled up. His passion for play, chess, communication is such a beautiful gift.

[ERIN]

This is beautiful. I LOVE the way this guy makes the game come alive. He's not patronizing; he's got such an engaging, enthusiastic, generous spirit.

[JerreMuesli]

Not gonna lie. He has the power to make a WHOLE lot of people play chess. He makes an old game look super cool

[johndescy]

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.

[DrIngo]

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.

I love the passion of Johnny and the modesty of your mum. The way he asks to play one more game at the end... like a child so full of joy and enthusiasm.

[sweedieman]

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.

[AlgebraSoup-qgyc]

He makes chess sound really exciting. Like he's telling a war story

[harrydiepstra]

GOAT chess promoter. I like the way he tells the story. For that reason alone he deserves respect..

[det]

He is an amazing teacher! Not only does he simplify the complex mechanics to be concise concepts but he says it with such emotion that makes you feel it.

"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

[GlennHanna]

Thanks for letting him talk. He thought he was talking to you but he was talking to me and other new players watching

[iamnacikartal]

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen on the Internet. 🥺I admire people who feel so passionate about what they love. It brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Anna. ♥

[DarkAngleProduct]

This mans storytelling commentary is captivating. Love this mans passion & energy!

[gs.]

This guy has more passion than any grand master in the world. He is living the battlefield

[freecycling]

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!

[lucascarballal]

I love this man, he’s so sincere and is truly trying to help and do something good

[wpdesigned]

Thank you so much for posting this, and for letting him speak out all his passion. I wish I could watch him more in your future videos.
