He Thought My GRANDMASTER Mom Was A Beginner In Chess... 

He's playing life like a GM ! I mean, as a GM ! He said it himself (on the social aspect) 🤩

The ilusion in his eyes tho hahaha 🤣

THis is one of your all time best videos!

Is your mom Swedish?

This is some pretty low attention seeking... get a grip.

😂

Comment underated

Nyhahahaha

😂😂😂😂

God DAMN that's perfect! Made me laugh out loud here at home.

this dude made me start today lmfao

Chess IS super cool

Too many people, especially women in general would say he's mansplaining. However, you would be wrong. He is someone who loves to teach and help anyone he can to love and appreciate the game he loves.

@@faf1967 nobody said that, you are fighting against non existing demons

​@@faf1967who tf says that

I would assume that most people that I come across are beginners, considering that only 10% of people play chess with any amount of regularity. And the fact that I can only probably recognize about 7 chess masters by their face. Male or female, living or dead.

@@Dark23KnightGames less than 10%

think he's a really full of himself.

Nah, this is just mansplaining at its finest.

@@hippiechickie18 No it isn't. They deliberately gave him the impression that she was a beginner. He was being helpful and interesting.

i really admire your vulnerability in posting this comment, thank you for sharing this. goes to show how our brains are malleable forever.

@@4and20blackbirds it's admirable I agree with you.

Hearing you wanting to grow and be a kinder and more peaceful individual made my eyes tear up XD

Yes! I thought for sure he'd be angry. But he's wonderful.

Of course you don't mind making the assumption that you're better than her just because you're a man and feel the need to explain everything even the things you don't have expertise in, okay chief.

He wasn't tricked at all - he assumed! He asked once if she knew the answer to a question, and she said "tell me 🙂" ! He does seem like a lovely man.

@@elizabethryan2217 You're right. However, they could have corrected his assumption sooner. They didn't, and some people would have felt tricked by that and been offended. I love that he didn't.

@johndescy7904 yep, fair enough 🙂 My own sense was that correcting him may have seemed like a put-down, whereas they both patiently and politely listened to what be had to say. But I get what you're saying! 🙂

​@@elizabethryan2217naa, they were taking the piss. No good. The man was pure.

​@@elizabethryan2217 he started by asking if they wanted to learn some basics. She could have said it right then..

I absolutely agree! He had me ready to charge into battle with him!

his lines will convince any beginner fs.

I do that by letting anybody I teach in anything win the first match.

It’s usually the last. 🫡

I feel so sorry for this guy, he must feel very foolish to be permanently on display enjoying talking down to someone who could teach him something.

That's who invented the game was about.

this man is cute, i love this teacher

Chess is war

Yeah I think it's easy to laugh at the idea of a GM being taught basics by a hustler in NYC... but if you remove the fact that she is a GM, this man speaks incredibly respectfully and eloquently of chess and actually paints quite the impressive mental image. I think anyone would be lucky to learn chess this way

@@billyhelms I've never played, and just watching this I learned a few rules about how the pieces move, and he does make it sound like a lot of fun. Made me genuinely smile. :D

Sorry but I would have left the table after 2 minutes, I couldn't stand this mansplaining annoying babble...

Pause on that

Woahhhhhhhhhh what

you 2 above me are absolutely wild 💀

@@potato4687 i meann i only thought about it when i looked at the replies

Every one of her titles are clickbait.

Absolutely!!!

@@CJonesApple Not nearly as bad as Levy though lol

@@CJonesApple Honestly, knowing how youtube is towards creators these days it's fully understandable, even justified imo

@@CJonesApple The way of the world unfortunately. And look at us - it worked!

he is so invested, he could get ptsd from seeing his pawns die

He is not living the Battlefield, he is living the Chess itself

​@@MrLordLowbob😂

​@@MrLordLowboblmao

@@MrLordLowbob lol

lol

suddenly the chess board became a gang war

Lol he is a hustler. A scum bag. Lol that’s what they do. Lure you in with talk and smiles

@@maaz322 Bughouse chess is really close to gang war.

Since watching this, I have played chess with a sword and shield.

I agree, we'll put.

true 🥺

yeah my thoughts exactly

Some people might be great at chess, world's best even, but she's a great chess player; something even top grand masters can't be.

"super wholesome"

@@mehridin What was the actual point in repeating exactly what OP said?

what is the actual point of copying what OP said​@@Sacred_Silence

​​@@zeenxdownzwhat was the point in replying to what he said

Calling a grown woman / grown man "good girl / good boy" is kinda cringe though. Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner?

@@est9949 It surely is. This just a nice thing to say to keep things coloquial and friendly- He wanted to play. And kids play too. So calling you good girl/good boy just emphasizes this playfull encounter.

@@est9949 In _this_ context, I'd say it was lovely/compassionate/endearing rather than cringe.

I think he called it a horse on purpose. Calling a horse looking piece a knight would be quite confusing to an absolute beginner

4. Tawks with a thick Nuyawk accent (ex-NYer here missing the OG accent:)

For real bro lmao

Yea I'd rate his excitement around 3700, even Levy is just 2800 at that.

Levi might be nr1 chess youtuber, but damn, that man is a real world champ in that

GM = Gab Mouth

​@@iwanfuryo2260 😐

I think he knew it already lol

He most definitely knew. I'm sad people don't recognize these things. Everything is being faked for the sake of impact in the videos.

This guy was a pleasure all the way, beginning to end. When he thought she was a novice he treated her with respect and did an excellent job teaching and making it interesting. When he found out who she was he continued being great.

I even teared up a little at that moment. They are so wholesome! ❤

He should be a chess teacher, honestly.

@@zachgolle1802 I'd be surprised if he doesn't teach to some degree

The cool thing is, he knows he's gonna lose playing to a GM but that excites him even more. His joy and passion is contagious. I hope Anna shares the second game too.

@@aayushdas3145 i doubt he knew he was playing against a top 25 highest rated wgm in history

I love this guy. I believe that this was for entertainment because after telling us to control the center, he moves a pawn on edge.

I felt a little embarrassed for him at first until then, and then I just loved him.

Yep, what a fantastic sport he is! Love him.

He absolutely won me over with his enthusiasm and passion, he was really passionate and not making an ego shit about the whole thing :) His reaction is why I like this video.

No niezly kocur z tego Pana

This is the way. ⭐

This is the way. 🗿

This is the way. 🗣

It was so awesome to just watch him explain the game!

That is truly sweet. Edit: I hope that you won 😊. Seriously more importantly, I hope that you both enjoyed the game. 10 years from now that 4 year old will be a grandmaster (she could probably only start entering proper competitions then) 😅.

he may not be good at the game but he is great at teaching this

@@weird7159 And that is a great gift too!

You can tell he has a true love for the game.

best fighters are thanks to their teachers. this sir here can forge legends if he wanted to ​@@weird7159

You should be embarrassed of your spelling of embarrassed

​​@@copbabycombo1311internet is vast, Don't mock a person for their bad english, because you're maybe mocking someone who speak more languages than you could ever imagine yourself being able to speak.

​@@LeNumidiumWell said 👍

@@LeNumidium stfu, you think idk what a polyglot is? Idc if you know 1 language or 30 I am treating you the same for a mistake. I call you out and you learn. It is unorthodox and could be called bullying by the sensitive but this is how I roll.

He was great, but I'm not sure I agree on the not being condescending. I don't think he asked her once if she'd ever played - he completely assumed she was a total novice, based on nothing.

Sry for the somewhat irrelevant question but I'm kinda curious... How good is he?

Do you know his name

ho do this things work? you pay for a game? you must bet? he just does it for fun?? I have always wondered how this things worked....

@@satchtamm people just play for fun

@@auraof that is very good to know. I always thought they were hustlers or something

I love when somebody write something funny. Slowly funny!

@@Lasselucidora General Enthusiasm. Wish I had met this Gent

Anna is enthusiastic. He's condescending. Big difference.

​@@GMBethHarmon true, i dont like him 😒

@@GMBethHarmon I don't think that he's condescending. He thought that she was new to the game and wanted to her grab her attention by bringing enthusiasm to the table, sharing his passion for it, if you will.

He totally is yeah!

He could have reacted in so many different ways when they told him the truth.... Beatifull to see him choose pure love for chess!

But I actually truely love that guy for him keeping his inner child alive

I mean yes but he could have also asked rather than assumed they were shit 🙄

Maybe for children or slow players... i found him exhausting and patronizing... he sounds like an alcoholic who just drinks and plays chess for 20 years

Yes, he's a grandmaster at teaching chess!

@@Sundayschoolnetwork hes a grand master at getting caught

its fake, a total set up. stop being gullible.

“Get the old man” “She just did!” ☺️👍🏼

I loved how he wasn't flustered, or ashamed, or mad... He was just sooo excited, like a little boy, that shes a master. Cutest thing ever.

He’d probably be a great coach for kids who are beginners. He’d have to do two things though … tidy up his opening play and (this is what I taught kids as a chess coach myself) always assume your opponent is actually a good player no matter what they look like i.e. always treat your opponent with respect.

Yeah except he tried to cheat a few times.

@@recurringdream he can forget stuff, its just old man's mistakes

I usually just check how the video turns out when he finds out shes a GM. In this video i couldnt stop hearing the story of chess

Nah, he,'s too fond of listening to himself perorate instead of engaging the other person. He should have assessed his student's level of understanding before starting lecturing. A good teacher listens to his students.

Why would he assume she needed teaching?

He is clearly not after winning the game. He willingly blundered his knight just to tell his story, and so that a move later he can teach that trading favors whoever has more material. There is no ego in this for him. Only the joy of spreading chess as wide as he can.

@@MasterHigure cool, didnt know that :) thanks

Word.

He was good enough to know he had been had and she was much better than she feigned. His reaction was great. " You tricked me. I shouldn't even saying anything you know more than me." Very humble and then he excitedly wanted to play a grandmaster to really test himself. Amazingly sincere interaction

He was never condescending in his tone wtf are you talking about…

I used to play a miniatures game and got really good at it. It gets to a point where beating new people is boring. The best victories are against the loudmouths.

Yeah I love that he was genuinely trying to teach someone chess, and even when he found out he was being trolled he didn't get upset, he actually got more excited and just wanted another shot at it, all teachers should be like this.

I love being an advocate for a hobby. Introducing others to it and helping them get to the point that they can run screaming into thenight with the hobby is the best feeling.

Why he was tricked. He never asked she can play.

@@kamegoshin8954 Good question. He was tricked in my eyes, as he very sincerely wanted to introduce 2 ladies to the wonderful game of chess. We can have a long talk whether or not it was 'ok' for him to 'simply' assume the both could not play, but then we 1) enter into the fair assumptions based on probability from experience one always makes to assess a situation and 2) based on their very hesitant responses resulting on his heartily invite. The moment they kept quiet on his first basic introduction/questions, the 'trick'/ 'lie' started. Also keeping quiet can be a lie/trick. And in this case certainly. And consciously purposefully even, as it would make 'a great video' if done respectfully. And this great man's response made it indeed a good clip.

@@SPDLand you don't pay enough attention. He knew the daughter from a former match, and he knows how good she is, in the end, he says he had a thought from the beginning. Maybe it seems he was tricked, and maybe he was in a quite lovely way, but I think it was a gift for him to play with her.

@@kamegoshin8954 probably shouldn't tell people they dont pay enough attention if you cant even spell it. pay attention in school.

@@Forever-ec8tm Bro don't get offended, it wasn´t meant personal. English is not my first language and I never had it in school, it was just an input error on my Keyboard when I wrote fast, now I have spell-checked it, thank you.

I'm guilty also.

That was done on purpose I think. The title and picture are click baity af making it look like the guy is being smug to the ladies while they're laughing under their breath. We ALL came into this video thinking we were gonna watch an arrogant person get put into his place.

@Ka chi weird take maybe get your brain checked

He WAS condescending!!

​@@natalier6339 how

yeah this is an awesome video even as someone who isn’t huge on chess

Are you sure there isn't some dust in the air? ; )

He’s fantastic!

When I first saw this video I was worried that it was going to be condescending but he wasn’t at all. He was just super happy the whole time

Yes. He's great. He has a passion and enthusiasm about the game. Sad to hear some say he's "mansplaining" it to her. He just has passion and love for the game and wants others to experience the same joy....

Live with the joy and enthusiasm of a child.

He should have his own RU-vid chess channel, I will sub

Me too

I was going to say this

Yeah dude was such positive vibes I love it man

Many of the 'chess hustlers' make extra cash on the side by giving private lessons.

He actually was very excited about this.

Are you kidding? From a female's perspective, he was ALL ego!

​@@cheeririnaldo435 what's your BMI? you talk like a 30+

@@cheeririnaldo435 He was all ego, but in a good way.

​@@dunstarallday Bro that was hilarious 😅😅

i know it is a different platform but I was frantically searching for the heart emoji to respond to this video :)

Mow that he knows he's playing one of the best, he wants to try his best against her to see how he truly measures. Respectable.

@@koborkutya7338 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

no matter how old we get, i think well always have a inner kid somewhere inside haha.

the last guy saying "get the old man" was great too

He has respect for the game, so respect for a Master. 💕

Mansplaining at it's best haha

@@SINQUEFIELD83 He's probably autistic, man, leave him alone.

Indeed

@@SINQUEFIELD83 He's not mansplaining hes just trying to teach her he didn't know she was a grandmaster

@@SINQUEFIELD83 How is that mansplaining they literally asked to be taught ahah

She still is a grandmaster and plays actively, she is no longer No 1 which she was for a time back in 1984, but still among the best.

Me too! ...and I'm not even a chess player. 🙂

I think she loved to listen to him too

My thoughts as well. I love that he was just giving such a passionate free lesson to someone that he thought was interested in the game. And yeah it's totally great seeing her patience. Has she plays a long, he can't interrupt that kind of passion! Lol

They'll probably get married.

I clicked on this video so fast. Pia, the Bob Ross of chess, playing a super enthused hustler. I was not disappointed.

Yesss pleasee

I was thinking exactly the same: where's the part 2? Nice cliffhanger!

Yes I really need to see part 2! Lets hope its up soon!

It would be really cool to see a part 2 where Pia explains things to him as well.

5+0 match yaaaasssss

Yes please 1 more

I like those people, who love chess like this old man. 😃

Loved the guy ❤♟️ Inspiring and poetical. I'm gonna write a character inspired by this great man in my next story.

He would have been a genius 500 years ago.

Meh. He talks too much

Agree. Do you think he turns chess into a boring formula?

No, he's a boring old fart.

I guess being crazy helps too!

That's clearly mansplaining. She knows more, but he has to explain her!

Absolutely

Amazing how passionate he is talking about war, I felt like I was playing Anno 1503

Exactly lmao

me too

Really? well see Anna's mom, look at her expression listening to him droning on, she looks exasperated, that's a normal reaction.

Closely followed by: never go in against a sicilian when death is on the line!

He ddn't forget, he played an educational game. From his explanations you can see that he wanted to continue the game with the sequence Ng4+ Be7 Bxf7+ Kf8 (remember what he said about being attacked in the center and losing the privilege to castling) and maybe Qf3 after that to build the mate. He just didn't see that Nd6# finishes the game immediately.

@@matthewryan4844 Followed by "Never go in against a Nimzo-Indian when death is on the line."

No the most basic rule is: Never forget en passant

I agree. Amazing video not only about chess but about life
