Love this guy, thank you for this.
The standard chess hustler pack of newports
wisdom right there
What i wanna see is Legendary Cornbread on this channel
This was good. More interviews please. He quit his JustOverBroke to pursue his passion in the streets of NYC. That’s Crazy Good
The way of the sword is chess
Good job promotion and showcase a chess player.
Have to state the negatives statement that a player does not know chess because of a rating. That is relative and can be said at any level as a player looks down at someone else.
Man, I love Union Square. Great people hang out there year round
I've often thought that if all my other goals in life fail to come through, that I'd move to NYC and play in Central Park for a living. Saw another video of a guy who, between students he teaches and games he charges for, makes $200 to $300 per day. Not bad to do what you love. It has been forever since I was rated (I peaked there at just over 2000) but I'm stronger now than then (Chess.com rating peak of 2122 earlier this year), so I'd say I'm a 2100 to 2200 strength. I could do quite well, I think, in NYC. One of these days I might just go, set up a board, and play for a day to see how it goes.
Don't want to play a 1500 rated player? He'll play a 800 rated player if you have 5 bucks.
Thats really amazing
This guy is not a good player. He can only hustle weak beginners.
Love tc man.. been trying to beat him 3 times in a row for years now
Go home Stephen A Smith!? your drunk 😒
Awesome!!!
This guy is very wise 👌🏼
Ah yes, the five eternal elements of chess:
1: Develop
2: Structure
3: Safety
4. ????
5: His wife
Amazing person, only in New York.
This player are skilled …even for Good Chess Club player Elo 2100
Loved his philosophy and comparison of life and chess. I don't live anywhere near NY city so probably will never meet him.
Who needs that music during the talking?
Wait, this guy's supposed to have 60 years? That must be mistake right?

LOVE this guy's perspective. Thanks for sharing
What are the similarities between chess and life?
It's just a waste of time.
Really good video. I like the black dude and he is correct when he says that chess should be made a part of every school's curriculum.
Nice talking about chess and life.
This was a very good interview. Some good wisdom on the words that he was saying. Thanks for uploading. Props.
I played T. He is NUTS.
God bless you
