We Asked Strangers In NY About Chess

[@funkmaster801]

This is the kind of chess content we needed in these trying times.

I would still prefer an egg.

[@carlos.9563]

Not to me, this guy has a hateful condescending personality, and his superiority complex is only based on chess. He thinks he is the best chess CEO, nothing humble, we deserve better, lichess will always be the best chess page. This guy is arrogant, I hope he pays Niemann well.

[@Rashmika799]

I like how Danny has just the right amount of awkwardness.

"Do i look like i am on Tinder ? " "Tinder's for everyone" - Danny the smooth talker 🤣 . And the guy who named 5 world champions he deserves more than 50 dollars . 🙂

[@mickdundee346]

Opposite of smooth talking lol. Saying "it's for everyone" is like admitting "it's true you're old and ugly but you have the right to be on it". Smooth talk would be more something like "good looking people have a lot of fun on tinder, you should try it".

[@feelcollins4358]

@@mickdundee346 true, smooth-talking is mostly insincere and dishonest.

[@Charless_Martel]

Yes granny's on Tinder is the new normal, time of baking cookies for grandchildren is over. Its time for granny's causing drama to get the best men. Sad to even ask that, he should ask if she teaches her grandchildren how to play chess but that is part of the evil , sexist white supremasist patriarchy right?

[@CharlySardoGaming]

Danny asked for 5 more world champions. Polgar, while breaking many world records, was never a world champion. Glad he still gave the $50 because the kid did real good and 50 bucks is 50 bucks :)

[@alpay3300]

Was looking for this comment, time to be the smartass :D. Judit Polgar (the strongest of the Polgar sisters) never has been world champion indeed, but Susan Polgar - the older sister - has actually been Woman's World Champion. So yeah, technically "Polgar" was world champion. But of course I get your point, there was no "open" world champion going by the name of Polgar.

[@CharlySardoGaming]

@@alpay3300 I never would have said that excluding Susan Polgar. I simply forgot. You and Danny are right. Susan is great. I follow her on social media and my daughters even played her in a simul 20ish years ago. I stand corrected :)
