The humility and grace required to let an obviously inferior player win not once, but twice, is truly admirable. He proves once again why he is one of the most humble Grandmasters alive.

This is so stupid. The titles aren’t for us. The titles are for the normies. I‘m here for the chess, but I by started with videos like this. Chess hustler is pretty much a term for the KZread search. The same way you search for Minecraft survival if you want to see that, you search for chess hustler if you want some over the board chess in public places. The chess community is probably one with the lowest amount of native English chess speakers. I personally never had a concept of a hustler, especially not a negative one. All the hustlers Anna or also Andrea and Alex play are sweet people who have fun playing chess. I think most non native speakers associate the term chess hustler that way and not like a person who tricks people scamming their money or shit. I don’t get why you are upset for this sweet old man, fighting his fights for him in the internet. It ain’t that deep guys, it’s a KZread title

The vid last words he said were 'thank you for the clock'. Which means after playing him the day before without the clock, she went out and got a nice cheap usable clock, brought it back the next day. Then she joked she would give it to him if he beat her. She whooped his butt, and she gave him the clock anyways between the 5 minute and 1 minute games. This gal is a total mensch. Good person hey.

Great games Anna. Mostly the first one. Impresive mate with queen and bishop.

The move where he ended up exchanging his rook for a knight was very weak, but even before that she picked up a pawn, which would have likely been decisive anyway. I suspect this guy would beat 9,999 out of every 10,000 Americans who know the rules of chess, and possibly more like 99,999 out of every 100,000. It wasn't a complete walkover, and she'd have been in serious danger of losing, if she played weak on purpose. Incidentally, weaker players often play very aggressively.
