Want to post something but there isn't a thread that quite fits - thread


I honestly don't get the abbreviations that are out there. I have no idea what CIS is. I don't know what pansexual or ANY of those things are. And I don't want to ask anywhere else because I don't want to get hit with "you're anti!" instead of a simple explanation like I had the last time.
 
A very niche sub-genre on YouTube is the chess-hustle videos.

This one is great! It really is a beautiful checkmate, go to about 3:05


This one is also quite good...the poor hustler doesn't realize he's playing a grandmaster


Ha I’ve seen these, the girl in yellows mum is a GM isn’t she. Takes her along to hustle them with her. I can’t even play chess but I watch these sometimes to see their reactions. They’re brimming with confidence against a really unassuming older lady or quite a pretty young girl and after 10 or so moves they know they’re in trouble

There’s a new one out now, TL,DR

Toffee Loaf, didn’t read

Yeah, the young woman's mom is a GM from what I saw in other videos. I will also say the young woman is infectiously charismatic and charming...she puts off a "naive" vibe...talk about walking into a massive trap, thinking you're gonna school some young lady in chess only to have your @ss handed to you after 15-20 moves.

The young girl comes across really well, not playing the game I do wonder how early they twig they can’t beat her
