I played a grand master in a library 🥹

Man bro you are great with socially awkward people

“welcome to all levels” narrator: even you

The algorithm is starting to bring positive videos like this to my feed and I’m loving it

Wet fish hand shake 😕

Seems like a lovely bloke bless him. The fact he was uncomfortable but still let you play is brilliant. Can imagine life hasn’t been too kind to him growing up and you could tell his guard was up but once he settled he wanted to include you in his chess club, great interaction

This was sweet man 🤭

I stopped playing online many years ago after understanding lots of opponents cheated by mirroring the game in another software when they realized I was about to beat them. It was clear because most of them started playing very faster and extremely accurately after some point in the middle of the game. Sometimes I could still win because my advantage was still substantial, but even so I could be beaten by the clock if I didn't play fast too, what always caused me doing some weak moves.

Beautiful opportunity

What a nice video. I always lose too. 🙋🏻‍♂️

This was so wholesome!

It really felt like he was there to me a 15 year-old boy

This is NM Steve Demmery if anyone is interested. He teaches chess in both schools and privately as well.

illiterate mfs. it’s pawn, not pond 😭😭

He knew after the first move that you had no chance. Literally one of the worst moves possible. But he recognized your love of the game and the experience and played with the same care and respect that he'd give another master.

camera dude completely ignores all the signals that this guy clearly doesn't want to play him

That was wholesome af man lol good vibes

If he's 2200 he's not a grandmaster lol

Pay that man bro doesn’t matter if he tries to decline

I hope that was a good dude and not some weirdo sitting in library …. Good interaction tho 🫡

i fucking hate these gay ass videos of some soft soy recording speaking like he's talking to an orphan, then overlayed with gay sad music.

This was a nice wholesome video

"The ability to play chess is the sign of a gentleman.... The ability to play chess well is the sign of a wasted life."

Unexpectedly wholesome clip 😂

This is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen all day

Na6 your first move?

"pond"

All is well

That’s a real man interaction. They agreed to play, he dropped a CFC rating over 2200, they battled it out, and he even got invited to a senior chess meetup… All before exchanging names. Only as he turned to leave did they finally introduce themselves. 😅

what a cool interaction man

Pond…

That handshake needs some work. It looked like you wanted him to kiss your hand or something.

His poker face is better than his chess game. Don’t engage this man in cards.

Hope he’s having a good day.
