- have visited Chess Forum - a chess shop and a chess club in New York neighborhood of Greenwich Village. This shop has been here since the 70s. This store «survived» both the coronavirus and the popularity of the TV-show «The Queen's Gambit».
And I asked the owner what made his store last for so many years.
The owner is incredibly insightful and wise. Listening to him made me feel so enlightened and humbled. Next time I am in New York I would love the honor to meet him.
Yeah. Together 💎
Such a great man. Met him around 2015 and treated us with such hospitality. Greetings from Spain, Imad!
Exactly same experience! 💎💎💎
"Yugoslavia.....or Serbia as you call it. I still call it Yugoslavia."
As a history buff, I feel that
Serbia exists - Yugoslavia doesnt - but name is great though 😎
This was so wholesome. I found chess as a grounding hobby and it has now become a passion of mine. This man has given me hope, joy, confidence, and above all, tranquility in life. Thank you for the interview and god bless all.
Mr Rico - thank you for support!
Moral of the story… small businesses are being systematically destroyed….
Top quality interview. Fascinating
Excellent interview.
Very informative and interesting.
Thank you - owner is rare breed
I visited while there a few times in 2014. I played backgammon :3
love this guy! he is a solid soul.
I think it would be better to call it the only chess shop in NYC, rather than the last.
True. Manhattan for sure. There is one in Long Island though.
A beautiful exploration. Thank you.
I wish there was a shop like chess forum here where I live in West Virginia
Call mayor office of your town and demand chess center
10k was a pretty good guess! i checked and there are 13k traffic lights in NYC.
And they all work! NYC is amazing thanks a lot to you for your comment
I hope to visit one day soon when the city is desirable for visitors again
It is now 💎
@@Cybersocny respectfully I disagree
Loved the interview!
Yeah, he’s interesting individual 💎
Chess - my salvation. If it was not for chess, I can most assuredly say that I would have wound up a junkie or in a gang.
From what city you are? Chess lover 💎
This guy is very wise …..I did not expect so much wisdom and it sounds beautiful and poetic with the Russian accent ! I am a new fan of this channel …..keep it up bro 👊🏿
It’s my honour to have Mr Robinson here 💎

I bet Machiavelli played chess.
Let’s find out
Chess originated in India
I remember that
How did you come up with your questions did you have a specific reason for certain questions? I'm asking as a student
No. Pure freestyle. Just asked what is interesting at the moment. It’s UA-cam - no respect for old structure rules of documentaries .
Good luck.
Donald Trump had filed bankruptcy 6 times
You think this chess shop will file for bankruptcy?
I'd be angry. Wage Slavery.
Owner of this store free from everything 🪙
Is it still open during covid.
Yes
