When the Chess Hustler Gets Hustled!
If you go to a park in most large cities, there is usually someone with a table trying to hustle chess. These players come out each day and try not to look too conspicuous. They try to look disheveled so that a passer-by will not be intimidated. Then the hustler will lighten their pocket out of a few 20s. However, what happens when the hustler gets hustled? Sometimes a hustler can call someone over and not realize who they are playing. Next time you challenge someone to a game in a park, make sure they’re not a Grandmaster!
The guy did’nt know???
No… many street players know nothing about the chess world. Most of these guys don’t study seriously and don’t keep up with chess news on websites. Obviously you have some who play in tournaments and know, but at lot of those guys wouldn’t know Hikaru Nakamura if he walked up.
wow, hustlers in nyc love the article I played that same guy in nyc years ago, chess is great!

Why are we painting these guys in a favorable light?
