I would bet that this old man is a master himself, not getting crushed in the opening, surviving into the endgame albeit losing.

Maurice is the Mace Windu of chess. He’s my favorite commentator by far with how animated he is in the explanation of each other GM’s personality in the game. His Ted Talk explains efficient ways to navigate and think about complex systems. Overall, powerful person and a gift to the world.

The hustler is a pretty good player! Didn't realise until the end he was playing a GM of course! Surprised he didn't twig earlier!

+peffiSC2source I did notice he was a bishop light. Played a chess hustling opening too but I thought he played well.

+peffiSC2source I'd guess higher. I'm around 1700 and I wouldn't be a good hustler at all. You can be 1700 and have extremely little theoretical knowledge.

yes, he was very good, which begs the question; how good would he have played if he recognized him as a Grand Master from the beginning?

Bruh it's fine really, Just chill. Using engines or cheating in tournamnet is wrong, but everybody was having fun there. I wouldn't try this on stranger first time I play them, But it's not sth to be pissed about or hate someone for. Pretty slick if you ask me.

[@pcbacklash_3261]

@@amitbhattrai7038 No, it's NOT fine. Cheating is the ethical shortcut of scammers, losers and the morally deficient. It's basically stealing, but on a smaller scale.

[@amitbhattrai7038]

I don't like the fact that he tried that on a stranger, but you're clearly overreacting. You can't say that man is a "scammer/loser/morally deficient" person because of this incident. If you're connecting this with online cheating, they're two different things. Also if money was on line, this would be very unethical, but it seemed like a friendly game. But I will say it again, doing it to a stranger is probably pushing it a bit far.

[@flonga1]

I don’t get tired of Maurice’s complete disbelief and astonishment of that trickery move that was made. Gets me every time, ALL ON CAMERA! The gall!

[@zutrue]

They usually go hand in hand.

[@BLITZ24HRS]

Had the pleasure of playing Maurice back in the early eighties, and he could trash talk with the best of them in blitz. In blitz he was seeing the entire plan of a game while we were seeing just a move or two. A total gentleman in a tournament game. I'll never forget at the Kingsmen chess club they had a tournament, and Maurice was in it. In our game I forgot to hit my clock twice, and he brought it to my attention by extending his open palm toward my clock.

[@leeroyjeankins7781]

I watch this video every so often and I just replayed the ending from 4:12 on and its so wholesome. The hustler is extremely impressed and shocked, motioning to his buddys like ''who the hell is this guy, he just beat me with ease and talked the talk at the same time'' And then he finds out Maurice is a GM and almost seems elated to have played a game (you can see it in his smile) At the same time maurice is humble but with a devious smile (expecially the chuckle when the bystander reveals his status/rating as a grandmaster)

[@MegaCon12]

I love seeing the hustler desperately trying to distract the GM from the game by saying all kinds of stuff. Like, really :"Remember what I say!", Maurice asks him :"What?, that dude is like:" What I said was: Aaaaaaa." Brilliant! :)
