If you have read the Percy Jackson series and then the hero's of Olympus series both by Rick Riordan then you should read Percy Jackson and the Chalice of the Gods because this park and Johnny are in it. Not by name of course but I'm pretty positive and the park is a setting in the book.

I am pretty sure part of his sadness at the end was not that he lost but that the game was over and this magical moment of conversation would come to an end.

Kept saying too that his talents are not on the chess board but in understanding people. But he can play quite fast and while barely looking. And when he thought she was distracted in conversation at 10:00, I think he tried to cheat. I'm doubtful that was an accident with the way he stopped talking, and looked away all nonchalantly. Felt a lot like a guilty tale. Glad she caught him! Watching ego death is really fun. 😆

That was wonderful. You were so kind to that amazing character.

You never know what someone might be struggling with or how their life is- but you can certainly see if they truly have a big heart- and that’s all that matters.

There may be a lot of truth to what he is saying, but he is clearly trying to use those virtuous stories to distract her and gain an advantage.

He did 2 quick moves after talking and she didn't notice, and then there was a moment where he made a bishop jump a pawn and that one she noticed.

@@kaptep01 You must get scammed a lot, since this man is clearly a scammer. You can tell by his body language (Looking around, not focussed on the game, avoids eye contact with his opponent) aswell as him immediately attempting to cheat when his opponent is distracted. He knows exactly what he is doing; I'm no chess expert by any means but I know an illegal move when I see one, you can't tell me this guy doesn't know the rules. And if he does this with an innocent game with no stakes against a friendly person, imagine how far he'd go for 'real' stakes.

Love this guy. Seems so positive, pure and obvious passion for the game and people for that matter.

Cramling is so cool, she couldve tore this guy up but she allowed the game to breathe so this nice old man could have a fun time. Loves stuff like this.

i love this when you take time to talk with people it relax them 🥰/ ik vindt dit leuk dat je tijd neemt voor de mensen waar je schaak mee speelt je leert ze kennen en wat ze mee hebben gemaakt dan maakt het schaken onder geschikt aan het hele spelletje 😍🥰🥰

Both of you should be the movie. Both wholesome. Both learning. Both bringing experiences. Both being ruthless. Humanity is the intended outcome.

He’d be a GM if he actually paid attention!

Nice to see Anna gets a break from talking!! Thankyou again Anna for a wonderful vid, your positive attitude is a blessing.

I came to this video to watch the game, I didn't even remember the game after he was talking about his student. I hope this man gets his script written and his movie released! He seems like an amazing soul! My personal thoughts resonate with him on the idea of "it's not about the destination, it's about the journey" and I wish humanity revered it in the way this man does. The only criticism I have of this video is that the title should have been a nod to how kind and "real" this man is. It's incredibly rare to find people like him in this world (or perhaps I'm not in the right place?). Had to watch this one twice. He is a treasure and thank you for sharing this interaction!

what a lively old man! how wonderful it would be to share a conversation with him, for him to share more of his philosophies.

It made me happy to see how kind and patient you treat people. Stay as you are, you are amazing ☺️

Competing is not always about winning, it's about meeting great people like him..

I mean he did also try to cheat to win lol

He really reminds me of a bowling instructor i had growing up who also had this same exact energy and passion for the game and loving being able to share it with the younger generations and wanting to foster this sort of environment! It always makes me happy thinking back on those memories and makes me glad to see that there are more people out there pushing on with the same sort of ideals

I really like your videos. Thanks for sharing them. These are real people.

This was an absolutely brilliant interaction!!!! I love it. Thank you for this sooooo much ❤

My favourite moment 13:31 when he complimented you on challenging him to a chess game, having just realised that you were a special person (not just a good chess player) and had made his day. Brought tears

The fun this man is having playing a game with you made me appreciate life more. It's crazy how much more optimistic and joyful I feel after these 20 minutes.

A truly amazing video, very nice of you to share. I like the way you approached him too, very mature for your age.

I don't know why, but this interaction was really powerful and wonderful. I was smiling during the whole 19 min and after a while a noticed my cheeks started hurting :)

Congrats on your group win and top 10 at the Rilton Cup! Had to get up early to watch your stream, but so fun to see. Thanks!

its nice how playing chess can turning on to meet a nice person, who has a beatiful story to tell to the world and show how with good energy and simpathy all changes, and thats what about chess made about: speanding a great time and meet nice persons, not looking for only winning, because in fact, bouth are winning at the end. Great video, thank you Anna! Hug for all from Argentina!

Love your game here! Thanks for giving Johnny your time! This meant a lot to him!

He truly is a great teacher through chess. Never let your guard down to sweet talk... or you'll get cheated on. Thanks master hustler :)
