Chess Hustler Wanted To Bet An INSANE Amount

I was that hustler. Before the games against Aman I had hair and was 25 years old. Do not support these guys.

[@thequray]

I was there spectating when he played the hustler. After the matches he asked all the spectators for a crisp 10$ for the elite level tutoring he just gave us all. I tried to ignore him but he followed me around Toronto and even managed to steal my sunglasses. Do not support these guys

[@ThatsLifeDude]

Had a similar experience with Aman, ran into him outside market mall in Calgary. Told him I was a big fan, he said my 800 ELO is dogshit and to "get good" then asked me for the time and insisted he "borrow" my watch. He left with it then muttered something about me never being able to get girls with a "hairline like that" and to "step my game up".

[@ram42193]

super cool to see Aman 'smell a mate' like that in over the board. HE does it all the time in online blitz but seeing it irl really puts into perspective how good he is.

[@paradox5556]

@@ram42193 why is it more impressive otb?

[@ram42193]

@@paradox5556 its not more impressive. Its a different perspective. When you see hundreds of games of him going into a think and finding the mate online you get used to the perspective and its normal. Seeing him do it over the board going into a think and finding a tricky mating net is not something you get to see OTB very often period so its very cool and like the original comment said it was a very neat mate which it was.

[@ram42193]

@@paradox5556 most people would be thinking to convert the advantage queen the pawn and win like that its obvious, but Aman instead finds a nice mating net that you can see him looking to create several moves earlier. Its very cool.

[@mehome4163]

I met Aman the other day. After a nice smalltalk about the Chessbrahs charity work (They are collecting money by playing hustlers and give it to orphanages) he gave me those awesome sunglasses and said:"They look much better on you!" Thanks Aman! Great work and fun as always!

[@gebbo221]

I've heard it's important to always bet on yourself. But I think that doesn't count if you're against a GM.

well hes got balls ill give him that.

[@christopher19894]

There used to be an old chess park at Church and Queen, and David was one of the first guys I played there over a decade ago. He's been a local staple of the scene forever.

sun in his eyes. Shoulda swapped seats to make it fair.

[@maxkho00]

[@nathancavenor316]

That second game was a murder

First game, I thought Aman was holding back just trading everything. Second game was a grand masterclass!👌🏾🔥

[@rakhatthenut3815]

No, i think its just the lad played solid game

[@loafes1352]

First game is more of what you should expect from GMs than the second game, in the second game the guy just blundered some opening tactics. In the first game you get to see how a knight dominated the bishop, especially given black was a pawn up already going in to the endgame

[@mikecantreed]

2nd game was a basic 1200 level blunder in the scandi. Not sure about grand master class

[@DerickMasai]

The guy played solid the first game, praise where due. In the second game, Aman demonstrated why the Scandi is not recommended to beginners and amateur intermediates.

[@obeck9942]

@@DerickMasai If by solid you mean he blundered a pawn within the first few moves then yea, very solid
