[@petrus7977]

YOU`RE RIGHT! WTF!!!!! He didnt even undo his own move, he undo THE RIVAL`S wtf is that??

[@Dopedfish1]

He acknowledged that he lost and put the piece back to look at the position to see what could've been done differently, and then they started again because the kid won. I don't see what's wrong in any of this lol.

[@petrus7977]

Can you put the time in wich he "acknowledged that he lost and put the piece back to look at the position to see what could've been done differently"? Ive never heard him to say "you win" or "mate" or anything. It looks more like he denied the mate and continued playing like if it didnt happened...

[@petrus7977]

I know, tell that to Dopedfish1

[@TheCStrike2]

Couple of responses to the comments: Somewhere around the 1:30 mark, I'm not going to bother to look at the exact time, Cornbread knocks over some pieces, and place his rook inside his king. This was not cheating. It was a fairly fundamental chess play called casting. If you watch, the kid castles as well either just before or just after cornbread. Furthermore, after he was checkmated once before, he wasn't trying to cheat by resetting the pieces. Checkmate was called, everyone knows who won. ~ Cornbread let the kid win both games. It's hard to tell in the first game, but if you watch Cornbread's body language at around 7:00 all the way to the check mate, he's smiling to himself looking the kid down waiting for him to see the opening. It was sweet. In the second game, it should be obvious the Cornbread let him win. The kid was just trying to trade Queens, the kid's queen was unprotected, there was a pawn right there to take - anybody's who played chess knows he saw the checkmate coming

Within a week he was using notation and terminology (“your pawn on b7 is hanging dad!”), applying beginner tactics, and had learned several types of checkmate. Thanks to KZbin and other internet resources, young kids can now learn chess quite easily. It is a great time for the game.

[@FurtherReview]

Is his father telling him, "Oh, you better see that, John," at 16:16 -- right before John pulls his hand back from the pawn he was about to capture? If so, that's not exactly kosher.

[@WFDConnor]

Seems that he begins saying that before the kid moves and then retracts. Seconds later the child confirms that he did see that and didn't need the fathers input. Also he's a kid so the game wasn't "kosher" to begin with.

[@FurtherReview]

Well, if he gave his boy any advice on what piece to move next or what to watch out for, he was cheating, even if he retracted the statement. Look at how John reaches and suddenly pulls his hand back, presumably from whatever move he originally intended to make. The fact that he's a kid doesn't change anything as far as the game's legitimacy -- kids play adults in chess all the time ... and often win!

[@WFDConnor]

That doesn't mean they aren't at a disadvantage due to their possible experience though.... The timing is simply coincidental. Great video!

[@figgledoi]

Oh my god! It was a friendly game come on.

[@FurtherReview]

Sure, but if you're going to put your kid on KZbin and tout him as a great chess player, don't cheat for him. It's like saying, "Look how well my boy shoots pool" while you're helping him hold and aim the cue stick.

[@Sazaka]

+r4gu1 So its not possible for him to have seen the eventual mate? Many games end with a resignation; perhaps Cornbread simply saw the mate coming, but was powerless to stop it. It is a really good position for the kid.

[@GunnerGaz23]

Did anyone notice the move where he 'accidentally' knocked pieces down at around 1:38 and put them back in different places.

I'm not clued up on chess but I seen that a mile off, can any one clarify this for me or explain the move?

That queen trade would've been hugely favorable for John , seeing as after that he would have a stacked pawn on the H-file in front of his king. It would've been game over anyway. to say he "let the boy win" is just not giving John the credit he deserved.

Why didn't he take the kid's knight with the pawn at 9:53 ??????? What am I missing?

[@McFlySwatter]

I've noticed after watching several of these videos that the hustlers have quite a habit of knocking over pieces during games. Not necessarily intentional in this video, but I've seen others where they reset the pieces to their advantage (or try to).

[@Rohishimoto]

McFlySwatter it's true hustlers do it a lot, but it still happens every now and then. Plus this dude doesn't have the most steady hands lol.

Cornbread has a failed heart health issue as well as chess skills comparable to Napoleon Dyna Nada. Encounters like this will never make a difference in a non relevant twitter word exchange for low iq city dwellers Well done, John. Get a Job , Cornbread.

when I worked at the school, there were a few teachers that taught chess to the students. I think every school should teach chess.
