    No...no he didn't almost have you. He could have resigned after you captured his queen on move 15. :D

      Comment made me laugh. But yea, not everyone is a strong chess player and studies or has an advanced grasp of some of the concepts for playing better. I'm sure looking over the game, there's a bunch of better moves that we all saw, but, I think it's good that people are out there playing and having a good time.
      Good job on the win Chris. Glad you were able to pull it off.

      A hustle is when someone pretends to be bad at something so someone will bet against them, then they show off their real skill and best the person against them, winning money.
      What this guy was most likely doing was letting people who are not that good win a few games, and then if someone bets against him, he plays for real and wins the money.
      What he was doing in this particular video was sleight of hand to move pieces around to better positions. He would move fast and knock something over, and then when he went to put it back, he would change the space it was on originally, giving him better positioning.

    • @ethanlin9548
      @ethanlin9548 7 років тому

      Atticus Hirst someone who cheats in a game where a bet is on the line

    • @ParodyKnaveBob
      @ParodyKnaveBob 7 років тому +6

      +Atticus Hirst, here's what happened: Chris, the magician, moved his pawn to attack the opponent's king; the opponent tried to move his rook from the corner out to the other side of the board as if to attack Chris' king, but Chris pointed out, no, the opponent's king is already in check, thus he can't do that; *then,* the opponent "returned" the rook back to the "original" position -- except he *actually* put the rook one space *out* of the corner, on the same file as his king (protected from Chris' white queen by his black knight). Chris reached out and pushed his opponent's rook right on back into that corner! If he hadn't noticed, the opponent could've gained an "extra move" (getting his rook out *and* pulling his king back).
      By the way, I don't like to assume ill intent, but 1. if he'd already shown the "hustling" by playing sloppily for free then killing on a bet (like +Kntrytnt defined), then evidence would already be against him ... and then 2. I can't help but notice that the opponent had a giant visible "oh, right, I see, whoops" moment when Chris pointed out the illegal rook move, *but* then acted like nothing happened when Chris reached out and moved that rook for him -- *almost* as if an act were prepared as a diversion in the first place, eh?

  • @alexshen6590

    6:20 Are you sure that was "sleight of hand" and not a legitimate error? Moving the rook to b8 does nothing to improve his position, and substantially harms it against a good player. Kb6 still falls to Qe3+ forking the bishop, and Kb4 falls to Ra4+ with many possibilities (e.g. if Kxb3, then Rb1 at least wins the knight and trades the rooks, which would not be possible with the rook at a8, though in fact mate is possible regardless, while if Kc5, Qe7 attacks the a7 pawn leading to a rook fork in two moves, which again would not be possible with the rook left on a8).
    Sure, he won't expect people to see these combinations in blitz, and moving that quickly there is no chance he saw them himself either, but it's easy to see the move is useless without any analysis. Even if white follows up with a poor move, the rook on the b file gets black exactly nothing.

      simon kim, what he was doing by placing the rook there was eliminating a future move by getting him out of starting position, and if memory serves, he now had backup to potentially walk a pawn..so while white would have started stealing, black could have made him trade his queen for a pawn or give him his queen back. I haven't looked back and thought it through, but I assumed instantly that's what he was on. not to mention that rook was dead there several times if he checked him by moving queen to hustlers bottom row..king was 2 spots from rook, had to move to 7 leaving rook dead. by sliding him over, he could defend with king as well.

    but he missed a checkmate... at exactly 4:08... why didn't he just take the adjacent pawn (to the black king) with the Queen...? checkmate... pawn covers queen, Queen covers pawn... was he trying to play with him or get a long game or something?

    • @DavidEmerling79
      @DavidEmerling79 7 років тому +2

      I think when you are clearly winning a game of chess (as this guy was) you often stop looking for efficiency, precision. and the "best" move. You just go through the motions and wait for your opponent to resign or you checkmate him - even if it wasn't the quickest checkmate. At some point your response to the criticism "You missed a checkmate" is "So what? What difference does it make?"

    • @matthewclark7955
      @matthewclark7955 7 років тому +2

      David Emerling well.. I suppose the objective is to win the game.. so when presented with an opportunity.. I'd have thought it would be considered a mistake not to take it, especially considering you may lose it at a later stage through bad play

    • @DavidEmerling79
      @DavidEmerling79 7 років тому

      I disagree, I think that some games are so completely WON, that your brain can basically go into flat-line mode; because you realize that you no longer have to play with any precision. In fact, the game is so completely won that you could probably survive outright blunders. Knowing that, you tend to miss good moves. In the end, it hardly ever matters.

    • @matthewclark7955
      @matthewclark7955 7 років тому +2

      David Emerling sure maybe.. but surely that's not ideal...? you want to be able to maintain (idealy) your precision of play right through the game no??

  • @WhatsACreel

    • @muntoonxt

    I kind of doubt this guy is a hustler, but this video isn't enough to really say one way or the other. The so called "sleight-of-hand", though, was likely just a mistake on his part (especially considering how sloppy his moves were the entire game). His rook didn't really get put in a better position, just a different position.

    • @erikahlback3769

      Hm, on youtube, soundcloud and sonichits (where you also can se the full album) Vivid is a different track and Experimental Electro 2 is the track played in the background of this video. Either way, my point is that people won't find it on youtube if they search for "Vivid by Cospe", and as this video is posted on youtube people probably will search for it here, so no matter if it has a different title on Spotify, providing the correct title for youtube fills a function.

      sure ill give it that, but i still wouldnt call it slight of hand in the end. Slight of hand involves intentionally misdirecting the target in order to secretly make a change. He was not intentionally misdirecting him, just announcing the check for the hustler to recognize. That being said, that was good on him to catch that and correct it before it becomes an issue later in the game.

      DOnlyAgCreative at 6:15 white put black into check by pushing pawn. Black did not notice and moved rook. White pointed out check which means black could not move rook. In moving rook back, it was incorrectly placed on the B8 square instead of the A8 square where it started. Leaving rook on B8 is a much better square for black as it brings the rook into play for free.

      Gorrest Fump The chess player purposefully moved the wrong figure. When he moved it back, he tried to leave on a better spot than what it was in before. Chris was glad to, literally, catch the sleight. Meaning he saw. Watch again carefully.
