Beat Me at Chess, Receive $50

I played chess against random people in Central Park (NYC) with 1 min vs 5 mins, and if they beat me they received 50 dollars! Do you think you could beat me with these odds? :D

I would have died if someone showed up with the cow opening. The janky setup made this even more fun

The way that first guy just spawned in made me crack up.

Anna is the nicest chess hustler. Educating the opponents, playing time odds, and even letting the second guy finish the game.

Congrats on half a mil subs. For how much content you put out you deserve it!

[valerius]

ah yes "accidental castle" classic chess hustler tactics 😏

[charliecundiff]

"Are you going to say check?"

"No"

Someone with GM parents will never understand what everyone else means when they say that they have played chess for many years. I learned chess incorrectly when I was 8 from a kid my age who thought he remembered what was explained to him. We did not have the internet at home, school or the library, and no instructions with the board. Bishops started where knights should have, king and queen were swapped half the time, A1 was white half the time, castling and en-passant did not exist. I showed my brother, parents and other friends who never played, and I was beating everyone pretty easily. Fast forward 8 years and I am asked if I play by my girlfriends dad. I say yes, and that I'm pretty good, and that I expect to do well. He proceeds to set the pieces up in a way that I am unfamiliar with and then stomps my ass in like 12 moves. "I thought you played?". I am not the only one with this story! Dude Terrell wasn't lying, he just wasn't shown the whole game.

I love how passionate Anna is when it comes to chess, you can tell that she truly loves the game

[MikkoRantalainen]

Good idea! I would recommend three improvements for the next time:
1. Use thicker pen to write your ad.
2. Add "Free to enter" to the ad. Otherwise you seem like just another hustler.
3. Bring simple folding chairs and use a big box as a table.

Bonus: Get white clothes to match the Beth at the end of Queen's gambit while she was playing in the park

Spider Anna, holding down the board, the clock, the game from the wind.

[eliederventura]

The first guy came out of the rocks 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[BradSchmor]

I have tried the cow opening a few times now. One time, 4 moves in, the other player said "Oh no - not the cow!"

[frankie]

Your smile is the smile of the whole chess community. Never stop shining little star!

[arasaka]

I wouldn’t win 50$, still would play for curiosity.

[Pikathew]

She's so happy all the time, it's awesome.

"He came from those rocks" 😂

[checkfactschecking]

LOL. I absolutely loved this video. The carboard seats, wind and rocks all made for great entertainment. ... AND you are such a nice person Anna!
