    That's not a hustrler. That's a honest, hardworking S-tier player, facing a Grandmaster who held #1 amongst women.
  • He genuinely seems like a great guy; he never fronted or talked down to her, and acknowledged her skills as soon as he recognized them. His banter was super enjoyable, he clearly was enjoying himself and she was too. Delightful interaction.

    Love how he admired her long before he knew that she is a GM and was even more thrilled to play against her when he found out. You can see his passion for this game and even while being brutally beaten he was just so excited to witness her talent. What a gentleman.

    Big John is a legitimately high level player. He recognized what she was all about quickly though! Mom is a killer!
  • @leyoarteest3616
    He lasted that long against a grandmaster? He too, is a beast.
  • @David-ns4ym
    I’m not sure I’d label him as a hustler. He was gentlemanly. I’m sure he was honored on some level.
  • @mikelombard21
    That dude is a very strong player. Loses with respect and dignity. Hes as happy to lose to her than win to someone else. Great chess from both.
  • @todds4320
    The guy was a good sport and when he realized how good she was, he was still game for another round. That's taking what life throws you in stride and enjoying the moment. This video brought me joy in the middle of a rough work day. 🙂
  • That’s Big John! He played with my girls almost every day we were in NYC - easily the one thing we miss most! He’s the most wonderful person to play! Sending tons of love from South Africa!!
  • @TheValuePlug
    "Oh she's a beast!" He sounded so pleasantly surprised. I bet that's the first time he's been properly challenged in years.

    For people to lazy to google 🙂 Pia Ann Rosa-Della Cramling[1] (born 23 April 1963) is a Swedish chess player. In 1992, she became the fifth woman to earn the FIDE title of Grandmaster (GM). Since the early 1980s, she has been one of the strongest female players in the world as well as having been the highest-rated woman in the FIDE World Rankings on three occasions. She was the clear number-one-rated woman in the January 1984 rating list, and joint number-one-rated woman in the July 1984 list.[2][3]

    I love how he respects her game the entire time and never talks down to or belittles her. Game recognize game. Lots of respect here
  • @taltonhall3858
    The fact that he gave her (a Grand Master) a very good second game speaks to his ability as a chess ♟️ player!
  • Once he knew he was outmatched, his entire persona changed into almost appreciation. Like we all know that guy would mop up 95 percent of the planet but here comes GM grandma and he doesn’t get mad but becomes almost happy. Fascinating to watch.

    Npc dialogue from Anna - “my mom taught me everything about chess”
  • between the music and their chill banter I could listen to this all day
  • @nukkinfuts6550
    He was quick to estimate her to 2300-2400, she might be ranked higher but still giving another player a 2300-2400 estmate after 1 game is a true sign of respect.
  • @ngatiramona
    He's not a hustler, but a fellow professional. The gentleman was courteous, genuinely impressed and appreciative to play your mum. She even paused a few times, and played another game with him. Respect, on both sides.
  • @ih8tusernam3s
    Her daughter is beaming! She's so proud of mamma, I really enjoyed watching this, thanks!
  • I love the cordiality of it all. That is the pureness of gamesmanship. I applaud both contenders.
