Chess Hustler Said He Was a ”Grandmaster”…

I played against a chess hustler in Washington Square who said that he was a grandmaster. I offered to buy him a chess clock if he won! Hope you enjoy the video :)

The humility and grace required to let an obviously inferior player win not once, but twice, is truly admirable. He proves once again why he is one of the most humble Grandmasters alive.

[danne]

This kindness, this intelligence... and such beauty, and anna is not to bad either

[paulkramer]

Hey, he might well be a hustler, but he is at least out having fun when too many of us older folks don't, and he is courteous.

[MeridionWanderer]

I used to be an Grandmaster like you. Then I took an arrow in the knee.

[mansticks]

If nothing else, he’s a master of keeping his eyes on the chessboard.

Not a chess player, yet I find these videos very entertaining with no agendas, just two people interacting and sharing their love of the game. ❤

Anna your combination of focused chess plus conversation with your opponents is engaging to watch! Well done with the game and the many uploads!

The “hustler” is typically the one who pretends not to be as good as they are and so that would make you the hustler.

[greghuang]

LOL I saw this happen live! This was super funny! I also remember how he demanded to play one last bullet game and ended up losing that one as well

[phatcumin]

He's been doing that a long time. He's double tapping that clock like a boss because he knows that technology sucks and that button just gets stuck some times.

[frankingram]

He meant he was a "grandfather".

Watching you play chess really makes me want to learn to play. Your videos have been coming up on my feed lately and you’re so mesmerizing. I don’t understand at all what’s happening but either way it’s a joy.

[Christopher-wtig]

He might not be a GM, but he is pretty funny

[rishitpenspins]

looked he didn't play like a gm but he was curteous and kind even though he's a hustler, other hustlers like Boston mike can be rude and can actually sometimes hurt your feelings but this dude was just kind, I can really appreciate that!

[redminote]

I feel so bad for him at 5:30, that was his last hope and you can see his hand movement that he didn't have anything after that. He sighed there, broke inside, and blundered right after. Heartbreaking 😫

[kpopkeepsmesane]

"you have to say check" but he didn't say check when he checked you this guy is hilarious hahahaha

[humancomputerinteraction]

The vid last words he said were 'thank you for the clock'. Which means after playing him the day before without the clock, she went out and got a nice cheap usable clock, brought it back the next day. Then she joked she would give it to him if he beat her. She whooped his butt, and she gave him the clock anyways between the 5 minute and 1 minute games. This gal is a total mensch. Good person hey.

[sonaht]

The reverse hustler. Tells u he’s a GM, than u beat him

[visionbishop]

I adore this young lady, love her parents that raised such a wonderful spirit. I could watch or listen to her do anything. It's the joy energy she brings for me

[stanleymyrick]

Glad to see him out playing chess. Wish him well.
