It is not easy whatsoever to be a guest on shows like this and hold up your end. Maurice not only held up his end, he actually got some great jabs in! Maurice Ashley is a national treasure.

@seungpar1938 5 лет назад

That last point he made about understanding the other person's POV was really well said. I think it really encapsulates the essence of chess.

@cuterpooter 5 лет назад

@Gonzo Kaporal I knew what chess was before this interview. I just didn't care about it (and still don't). Thus, I knew none of the big names or famous matches. I replied to the original post because of the tone of "OMG I can't believe people don't immediately know " was silly and I addressed that. The fact that you're making such a stretch to generalize US culture from a 5min video says far more about your own closed mind than any other thing.
