My Grandpa Catches Me Hustling People In The Park

[@BeefJimMurphy]

There's nothing quite like grandpa showing up unannounced in the middle of a chess game to throw your vibe. Great video! Much love

yea its over if grandpa show up u cant lose

[@andreitiberiovicgazdovici]

I miss those summer afternoons in Romania when I went to the park with my grandfather to play chess and meet people. It's a simple way to socialise, but it leads to great friendships and I'm sorry that we are missing out on these kinds of traditions a bit; great video!

It's true, she's not a GM. She has, however, earned all three of her IM norms, so once she reaches 2400 (she's currently 2292) she will be an IM.

I like to see old men play chess. It’s difficult to calculate all the lines when you start to get old. I think he played well for his age

[@mracer8]

Actually opposite is true, if you are not a old man that need glass, sitting across from her in that outfit surely will distract you from any line you might have in your brain!

[@billucf96]

Most old men just stop practicing line calculation. They choose to spend time doing other things. I bet there are some old men who could still play at a world GM level if they choose to spend the time.

From the age of 65, the reaction time decreases somewhat. But as long as there are no degenerative diseases and high speeds are not involved, age does not matter.

[@Andrija_Jovanovic_]

When i saw this video it reminds me of my grandfather who passed away a few weeks ago and he was one of the people who lifted me up and showed me what is good and what is bad and helped me when it was the hardest. Whenever I get out of bed I look happy and always smile, but inside I have no will to live and I hate myself because I didn't spend more time with him. Trust me, you appreciate the precious time you have with your loved ones because when you lose them, you only realize how much you loved them. I would give anything in the world to see him just one more time.🙏

Can anyone tell me if these chess board which are common in parks are vinyl or silicone? Also, I'm assuming the chess pieces must be heavily weighted because the chess boards are not always completely flat? Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can provide.

[@adipratia6861]

In parks should be made of marble. The pieces do not need to be heavy, as they are balanced really well because their base is larger than the top part and are really stable. And in this video, they are using her chess set, u can find it in the video's description, on her website. It is made of rubber and will stay flat all the time even if the table is not flat. It is flexible but thick.
