This is the kind of person you WANT to be your representative or senator in govt.!! His mistakes and what he learned, even with bad mistakes have BROUGHT him to a level of HONESTY that most people and VERY FEW politicians have as a part of THEIR CHARACTER! I hope he has an emotionally enjoyable life, I hope prosperity comes to him so he can enjoy his life free of the stress of financial burdens! What a wonderful soul, so open and deliberate in his way of speaking and so smooth in the way he moves-- the signs of a person so relaxed because confidence and honesty are within him!
My name is Luiz Roberto and I write from Brazil. I watched the movie Life of a King and I wanted to give my congratulations to Eugene Brown, my congratulations and always continue like this, a wonderful person !!! God be with you !
His movie “Life of a King” is sooooo good. Such an inspiration. Thank you for being a seed in the lives of many young adolescents. Also, thanks for referencing the “hood disease.” It helped me understand why people grow up the way the do and remain that way.
a friend of mine was a near-master, so i played and studied chess years ago, and while i was never deep into it or much good at it, i found the concepts and lessons of chess apply to almost everything in life, in a variety of ways. chess is good brain-food.
Thank you you are an inspiration I have just watched the movie tonight 'the life of a king 'based on your life and it inspired me to look more into you as a person. I work as a support worker with people in the justice system and help shape their lives and try keep them out of prison. One of our volunteers actively plays our guys at chess now i know why . I will be showing our participants the movie based on you thank you
I never thought of this, but I concur. So long, I played chess scared: oh my heavens, I'm 3 points down. How do I avoid defeat? When I let the opponent worry about the unknown, I suddenly won. As someone once said: don't worry about who might disagree with you and your drive to success; only worry about those who might actually try and stop you...
Being a victim of the inner city my science taught me chess. Having the influence i had back in highschool i had the entire class playing chess. Till this day I go through life like I'm making chess moves.
Technically, a pawn can't become a king. However, the pawn can become powerful because that makes up half of your team. It'll take roughly 13% chance for one of your pawn to reach the other side and become any piece preferably a queen. Now multiply multiple queens on the board and you will dominate your opponent ruthlessly.
There is a excellent movie about his life called "Life of a King" based on his life starring Cuban Gooding Jr. www.imdb.com/title/tt2708254/mediaviewer/rm2534330368
I will try to elaborate...for ME,(since I saw my friend murdered at 16, in 1980, and I didn't think that I would see 18, then 21 or 25 etc etc.)I have not been able to believe that I can really control anything about 'my end game" so I live( or don't live !)as the wind blows me. I also have noticed that those who have tried to play the game as though all that matters is how much $$$$$ that you leave behind don't really seem to be very happy during their journey...not all but most. The universe or god or what ever you feel that you believe in laughs at MY attempts to make plans and achieve goals so I don't bother anymore. I just live from moment to moment. So, for ME, it is not all about an end game it is about right now...and every right now until my last.
Adam Shaiken very sorry for your loss to friend. Clearly understanding your points. So as life is a game of chess, it's indeed a different stroke for many different folks! So many different situations and how individuals goes about handling their situations! Thank you. 😊
Se esse for Eugene entao ele me fez continuar pensando que nos Estados Unidos da America as pessoas nao jogam papel no chao e os lugares sao perfeitos lindos
Well actually chess is like a war because you sacrifice to win and the life of us humans aactually is just like chess we listen to our president or us on the board you don't know why ischess is like life chess is just along game to enjoy until you die metaphorcally saying lossing to your opponent but in life is just a long game and if ended you die or lost everything you own and you did'nt even enjoy it so enjoy plaing your long game of life
Quervyn De Leon Then any competition is war. My point is - in case it got lot lost - the PREMISE of the competition of chess is nothing like the premise of war. Have you ever heard of a chess champion celebrating his victory only to realize that he had actually lost because his winning move.... - Was never applied because the piece never recieve the march order. - Not that it mattered because the situation was different that what the board reflected to him - ...but that opponent was mate.....but actually performing a pincher movement on you - The pawn you decided to go for was actually rook in camouflage - When retreating THREE queens not reflected on the board came out of nowhere - enhanced with capability of knights due to weapons development skills unknown to you. THAT would be war - not the dogmatic’perfect’ world realm chess represents. Real life is chess with uncertainty factors build into the otherwise strict logically mechanics of the pieces. Meaning sometimes a Knight doesn’t make the full 2+1 or 1+2 combination in time - is it then lost or does it occupy one of the fields in the middle?
In chess when you find the right move, keep looking for a better move. Bless all those who help others, they are the king's and queens.

"The game of chess is like a sword fight. You must think first before you move."
abyde do you think your Wu Tang sword style can defeat me?
The thinking is done during practice. When it is time to play, there is not much time to think.
Actions and reactions in sword fight must be intuitive and swift - stop to think and you are chopped liver
En garde, I'll show you my Wu Tang style
Wutang 4 life
Very deep. This makes me now think about my chess mentor decades ago. Now I realise why the game must have meant so much to him.
This is a great comment. It painted a vivid portrait of you and your mentor in my head, and told a story with such few words.
His movie “Life of a King” is sooooo good. Such an inspiration. Thank you for being a seed in the lives of many young adolescents. Also, thanks for referencing the “hood disease.” It helped me understand why people grow up the way the do and remain that way.

Yes, indeed, life is a chess game...however, it is not all about the end game ! I can hear the speaker's heart beating during every silent pause.
Adam Shaiken can you elaborate on why it isn't all about the end game? Sir
I will try to elaborate...for ME,(since I saw my friend murdered at 16, in 1980, and I didn't think that I would see 18, then 21 or 25 etc etc.)I have not been able to believe that I can really control anything about 'my end game" so I live( or don't live !)as the wind blows me.

Our Right Now can influence our End Game
thanks for the speech brother man.

Is there any chess/life books
Excellent
I want to meet him one day!!😩 him and cupcake brown!!
Thanks
Woow this is so profound..
Inspirational
Skip to 12 minutes, the beginning is a whole lot of inane personal trivia.
FIRST! Checkmate.
Cuba Gooding did a movie based on his story. "The Life of A King".
I just heard about this guy, from Cuba Gooding Jr., while he was being interviewed. Glad I checked him out
Who is this guy?
One of the best speeches by a drunk guy I ever heard.
Lmao idk why that’s so funny
Lol
Give the guy a break......he was 70 years old when he did this talk and wasn’t a “polished” professional speaker.
Good talk
Think before you move
My left ear enjoyed this
well Netflix brought me here.
Life, like chess, will be taken over by AI. Game over.
gg
What will we do if robots make all the money?
domo arigato mr roboto
AI will still never be able to replace the human experience.
Alpha Go, is that you? Is it your secret message that you are going to take over? 😂
TED talks
I’ve never lived in the hood but I think many of us certainly have “hood disease”!
PTSD is real
The Kings Gambit
The movie staring Cuban Gooding jr.
Se esse for Eugene entao ele me fez continuar pensando que nos Estados Unidos da America as pessoas nao jogam papel no chao e os lugares sao perfeitos lindos
🙏🏾🥇
This is what I am
Who is the chess man in "Life of a King" in real life?
Even a lost peace is still a peace at play on 8 tables...call it.......hand in pocket...
All of you need to play Malancala
no matter what you do you will always be a pawn.
With that attitude, you're right.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Ok DC
lolz
y lol ...lol
Chess is neither nothing like life nor conflicts.
Chess fails to implement ‘The Fog of War”
Well actually chess is like a war because you sacrifice to win and the life of us humans aactually is just like chess we listen to our president or us on the board you don't know why ischess is like life chess is just along game to enjoy until you die metaphorcally saying lossing to your opponent but in life is just a long game and if ended you die or lost everything you own and you did'nt even enjoy it so enjoy plaing your long game of life

Have you ever heard of a chess champion celebrating his victory only to realize that he had actually lost because his winning move....
- Was never applied because the piece never recieve the march order.

THAT would be war - not the dogmatic’perfect’ world realm chess represents.
Real life is chess with uncertainty factors build into the otherwise strict logically mechanics of the pieces.
Meaning sometimes a Knight doesn’t make the full 2+1 or 1+2 combination in time - is it then lost or does it occupy one of the fields in the middle?
Tommy Gunn
You've just described one of the premises of war - the unknown factor.
Bad speech.
Am I tripping or was there a movie based off this guy?
Shawshank redemption
Life of a king
Thanks
