    Couple of responses to the comments:
    Somewhere around the 1:30 mark, I'm not going to bother to look at the exact time, Cornbread knocks over some pieces, and place his rook inside his king. This was not cheating. It was a fairly fundamental chess play called casting. If you watch, the kid castles as well either just before or just after cornbread. Furthermore, after he was checkmated once before, he wasn't trying to cheat by resetting the pieces. Checkmate was called, everyone knows who won. ~ Cornbread let the kid win both games. It's hard to tell in the first game, but if you watch Cornbread's body language at around 7:00 all the way to the check mate, he's smiling to himself looking the kid down waiting for him to see the opening. It was sweet. In the second game, it should be obvious the Cornbread let him win. The kid was just trying to trade Queens, the kid's queen was unprotected, there was a pawn right there to take - anybody's who played chess knows he saw the checkmate coming

    I recently taught my 5 year old to play chess. He learned the rules and starting ideas quite quickly, then started watching beginner lessons on UA-cam. Within a week he was using notation and terminology (“your pawn on b7 is hanging dad!”), applying beginner tactics, and had learned several types of checkmate. Thanks to UA-cam and other internet resources, young kids can now learn chess quite easily. It is a great time for the game.

    • @WFDConnor
      @WFDConnor 8 років тому +13

      Seems that he begins saying that before the kid moves and then retracts. Seconds later the child confirms that he did see that and didn't need the fathers input.
      Also he's a kid so the game wasn't "kosher" to begin with.

    • @FurtherReview
      @FurtherReview 8 років тому +15

      Well, if he gave his boy any advice on what piece to move next or what to watch out for, he was cheating, even if he retracted the statement. Look at how John reaches and suddenly pulls his hand back, presumably from whatever move he originally intended to make. The fact that he's a kid doesn't change anything as far as the game's legitimacy -- kids play adults in chess all the time ... and often win!

    At 1.36 the black guy cheats and knocks over the king and moves it back into different place.then when the king is next too the castle he castles i daont know if your aloud too move a piece too another spot when you knock it over then cover it with a castle.

  • @ashtray182
    @ashtray182 8 років тому +9

    love how Cornbread undoes little man's checkmate move like it didn't happen and instead of the kid shouting about how he just won, he was contemplating how he could beat him again! ...until the bystander said something

    For those that don't know, Cornbread let the kid win. It's not that hard to tell with the face expressions he gives us. I mean c'mon, he's just trying to encourage that kid.

    • @ragu1daboss
      @ragu1daboss 8 років тому +23

      +r4gu1 From 7:10, look at Cornbread's face expressions. He knew the checkmate was coming. He was joking about and having fun at the same time, yet letting the kid live his moment. Trust me, I know how those guys act in front of kids and how different they act in front of adults.

    • @Sazaka
      @Sazaka 8 років тому

      +r4gu1 So its not possible for him to have seen the eventual mate? Many games end with a resignation; perhaps Cornbread simply saw the mate coming, but was powerless to stop it. It is a really good position for the kid.

    • @sanekabc

  • @GunnerGaz23
    @GunnerGaz23 6 років тому

    Did anyone notice the move where he 'accidentally' knocked pieces down at around 1:38 and put them back in different places. I understand one of them may have been a move but he conveniently moved his piece from the corner which allowed him to 'lock down' the bishop. I'm not clued up on chess but I seen that a mile off, can any one clarify this for me or explain the move?

    • @Rohishimoto

    @raven800plays 8 років тому +22

    first match, too defencive/protective. Cornbread was trying to keep his lesser pieces protected instead of seeing the bigger picture. second match, too aggressive. He was so eager to do bishop+queen pin like John did last round that he forgot about the queen.

Also, he seems like an amazing, good hearted guy and god bless him for giving this kid such a good experience. Need more people like him. I hope he got HIGH AF after this

    This video really puts a smile on my face. The fact that the dad said they went there previously to find Cornbread says a couple things about him. 1.) he's a pretty good player and 2.) he's just a great person who is helping build this young boy up as a player. I think it's pretty obvious he let the kid win, but it seems like winning he game isn't as important to him as being a role model to the kid. 👍🏻

      Do you know how to castle? It's the only turn where you can move two pieces. He castled, but he knocked the king over accidentally first. He wasn't cheating look again. Stop and start it. Slow it down. He castled.

      That queen trade would've been hugely favorable for John , seeing as after that he would have a stacked pawn on the H-file in front of his king. It would've been game over anyway. to say he "let the boy win" is just not giving John the credit he deserved.
