+Joe Marquette Right from his chess.com page: Maurice Ashley lives his passion. Through his love for chess, he not only made history as the first African-American International Grandmaster in the annals of the game, but he has translated his love to others as a three-time national championship coach, two-time author, ESPN commentator, iPhone app designer, puzzle inventor, and motivational speaker. He is now working as a Joint Fellow at Harvard’s Berkman Center and MIT’s Media Lab to bring the benefits of chess and other classic games to a wider educational audience through the innovative use of technology.

It's not a chess match unless everyone watching is coughing.

Great game and music

Very smooth! Good work GM Ashley! :)

I really like and respect GM Maurice A. Since seeing his game with Wilson .

The music is amazing.

I don’t know what I enjoyed more, the chess or the music!

dude, full respect to his opponent, 5 minute more or not, that was an amazing effort!

i love this moments!!

such a chill vibe

Great chess videos!

This was great.

Background Music : Love Bug Starski - You've Gotta Believe

Maurice Ashley in 1999 Became 1st and only African descent Jamaican/ and American Grandmaster.

The music is 🔥🔥🔥

I love Maurice!

this so great to see i wish they would have battle on espn

something about chess and this music is perfect

How, great video!

I like how they handle the pieces

Seen this video a few times.. every time I say that is a catchy song.

Times like this make me happy i was tought my maurice ashley thank god he came to automotive

I would love to get this exact audio from the radio onto my drive so I can groove it out whenever I want

3:49 jamming out and knew he was going to win

I found amazing how the GM had the move Bxd4 prepared and realized at the last moment in a blitz of a second that he's gonna be mated if he tries to win the pawn and the exange. Too bad white didn't realize the threat and lost the pawn by pinning his own bishop....

@ 2:59 GM Maurice Ashley says "How can you do that?" because he wants to win a free pawn by playing 25. ..., Bxd4 because of the pinned bishop on e3. Incredibly though, even in bullet time controls, he spots the reason it can't be played: 26. Bxd4, Rxe1?? 27. Ra8+, Re8 28. Rxe8+, Kh7 29. Rh8# He realizes this after he has already picked up the bishop so the touch rule forces him to play the bishop anyway. He chooses 25. ..., Bf6.

At the timestamp it seems like he can take the pawn his bishop is attacking for free since the white bishop defending it is pinned (can't move without dropping the rook). In reality, if he takes the pawn and the rook immediately, he loses the game on the spot because it's a forced checkmate.

loved it:)

THE SET UPS AND THAT BISHOP MOVE DID DAMAGE.👍🏅 RESPECT MASTER.

amazing

This is Blitz my friend.

Maurice flexing that super dope watch in the beginning ^^

Great GM Maurice's win.

I've seen Maurice play blind folded very impressive

That was actually entertaining

5:11( guy in the middle ) that's my pops ! RIP DADDY I LOVE YOU!

Cool video

Straight up Brooklyn. From the chess play down to the music. Old school R&B group Guy, with Groove Me.

insane tactics

I played leon last weekend im rated 1950 and he crushed me 3-0. i would say hes probbaly rated around 2300 by now. cool to see him play a GM ashley.

Smooth game

this is just art

nice game, nice old skool music

Smooth.

Does anyone know where can I find the winter games?

What a picturesque scenario.

Smooth

At 3:00 ..Rxa5 was a nice tactical shot as it seems Bishop can win pawn on d4 due to pin on rook on e1. Maurice even picks bishop but then realises that there is a nice tactical shot .. if Bxd4 then Bxd4 Rxe1 Ra8+ Kh7 followed by Rh8# is checkmate..he realises that, therefore puts the bishop back down and says "How can you do that"? Later at 3:40 however he does get the same Bxd4.

There is a nice moment in this game : at 3:00 ...Bxd4 seems to win at least a crucial pawn for black since Bxd4 Rxe1 loses the rook...but then Ra8+ Kh7 Rh8# and white wins ! Maurice maybe wanted to play Bxd4 but after some calculations he placed his bishop back on g7 and played Bf6 instead.

insane !!!
