  • In this video, I went to Union Square Park and tried to make my opponent think I was a beginner in chess. His name is Tyrone and is a super nice guy that loves teaching chess! This was all just in good fun, and my opponent took it really well when I told him my real strength.
    A chess hustler is just someone that plays chess on the streets for money. Union Square Park is a famous chess hustling NYC park, where hustlers play visitors from all over the world.

    This was all just in good fun! Tyrone was really nice and you should play him if you're ever in Union Square Park. Chess hustling typically just means playing street chess for small amounts of money. I told Tyrone after this game my true strength and he took it really well. Thanks for watching

    This guy's name is Ty and he's an amazing human. He love's to play chess for fun in the park and he's not a hustler; he doesn't gamble. In fact, when I played him last week, he had mentioned this video and told me how many positive comments he received. The positive comments about him really made him happy.

      I think the description "hustler" gets overused. I can count on my fingers the ones that can lower their ability to the point where it is not noticeable ie blundering pieces and making anti positional moves, so that when you win, it appears to be as a result of a genuine struggle and when you lose (when substantial money is wagered on the game) the game also is very competitive.

I especially like the players who think she is a beginner..they are often really good teachers, and the spirit of friendly competition is really good to see, Chess players are so bright. I wish I could think on so many levels at once, but I just don't have that kind of mind. It's so amazing to me!

It's a Hollywood myth that the people playing chess in NYC are "hustlers" looking to con people out of money.
