When Doc said he's a time traveler, I believed him.
I loved how no one said It wasnt true. Totally respectful
@@Budapestpatiypami maybe it is true. arent we all time travellers? i mean are we really the same we were a moment ago? think about it, bro 😂
Doctor Emmet Brown.
His time machine just passes time regularly
He is the 19th regeneration of The Doctor, just taking a little break in New York City to work on his chess game across a few thousand years. The Tardis is probably just tucked a few blocks away. Obviously the proof is when you look up all the photos of him over the decades playing chess in the park he never changes age...and is almost always wearing the same outfit.
"Whose the most famous person you've play?"
"Maybe Karpov"
*boss music starts playing*
I know, couldn't believe it when she said Karpov so casually. I was surprised though how little he reacted to that... Your Mom's so cool
Anna played Magnus carlsen
@@pputnam100 The uncle doesn't know who Karpov is
@@josephc.9520 I barely play chess, and I know who Karpov is. It's quite strange for someone who play chess regularly to not know the name of someone who was world champion for quite a while.
@@josephc.9520 nope He did not get his name properly .
Her daughter always expresses the pride she has for her mother. It’s a most beautiful thing to see in the world we currently live
@@AsadAli-jc5tg you really took their words and ran a mile with them huh
@@GenghisGaming Hes not wrong, the woke has gone way to far.
@@perssontm1628 you take this shit way too far though, you see woke literally everywhere and overreact. If chess was invented today you people would call it woke because the queen is the strongest piece
@@GenghisGaming Lmao what? Anti-woke and sexist is not the same 😂. This is the problem with you people, you don't even know what it means and still throw insults around just because we are trying to protect sanity.. But hey, anyone who believes a boy can be a girl and supports it are delusional so what did i expect
@@AsadAli-jc5tg I live in "the West" and look up to my parents, and my family, and respect others around me. Is there something wrong with me?
His reaction is so heartwarming when he learns that she's a GM. I rewound it several times to enjoy it again. His childlike sense of wonder just brought me to tears. A million thanks to you and your mother for bringing us videos like this.
He actually was on the front of the New York Times on Tuesday, July 6th 2021
Knowing a GM personnaly myself, I totally understand his feelings and reaction. I always enjoy playing with this GM who is so humble and young without snobbing the normal average players
There are a lot of people who would have just said "i cant beat you" and given up. But this guy loves this game is is excited about meeting someone probably way better than him so he can learn more. Thats true passion.
I love it so much
i shed tears bro xD
I just love the energy of this man. This is the kind of wisdom you only get from a random man in a park. And the mysterious man who goes by "doctor" claiming to be a time traveler just showing up and leaving again what the fuck is going on here lol
He's a timelord obviously
Parklife!!!
NewYork is going on here 😅 I love it 🥰
Yes he's really wonderful! :)
😂😂😂
It always seems like Pia feels sorry for checkmating people, so funny 😅
She has the belief of not using her powers to trample over weaker people 😂
IKR!!
this girl at my chess club too - she's so much better than me - it's very funny because even though she always win she looks kinda sad haha
That's super Swedish, look up "Law of Jante" if you want to know more - it's deeply ingrained into the mentality of every Swedish person.
“Mmm yes, that is checkmate, poor thing”
This guy is like that one side character in a video game that is so unique and intriguing that you can't help but notice to have some deep lore behind him, connecting him to the main story.
More like Mud from Gothic.
Exactly my thought. He is like the best npc from Baldurs Gate or Cyberpunk 2077 that would make you completely forget about the main quest.
New Yorkers, in a nutshell!
His honest excitement when finding out and asking so politely for another game - that really moved me.
really? That "moved" you? jeez.
@@Mircose
someday you'll grow up
@@Mircose yes. It did. Emotionally AND physically. I got up from happiness at his passion. What's so confusing?
@@JulioLeonFandinho the person who needs to grow up is the person who gets "moved" by stupidity.
I love how she was toying with him and prolonging the game so that he can actually play, lol. She could have gotten a checkmate sooo many times, lol. She's such a good sport.
isnt that disrespectful?
@@Domebuddy No. She's giving him chances and to learn from her/his moves. Then they played again and she slaughtered him.
@@midnull6009 I'd rather just get destroyed. Perhaps a handicap would be better.
@@Domebuddy it’s a teaching game where you offer a problem to show them how to properly deal with it I’d love to see a top chess player learn to play GO that anther interest bouts game
Johnny himself said that the social aspect was his favorite part of playing chess, and prolonging the game helped him to chat with her longer and get the 'fruit for the soul', as he said. She definitely made the right choice going a little bit easy, best move for all parties involved.
The man is so passionate. He turns into a little kid again after he hears she's a grandmaster. It's so adorable and inspiring. ❤
I just wanna know, what’s in Johnny’s cup?
"Sense of Wonder"
Play is important, especially for adults. A lot of people forget that.
The secret is to never grow up. I'm still an excitable kid at 50. Keeps you young too.
@@felixjan8509 Pia Cramling is a GM. Her daughter isn't, but she is.
2:06 I love his genuine smile when they told him he was a great teacher. And indeed! We should learn chess with people with his passion
I loved that too! You can tell he has a gentle and playful soul❤
Dude I have never seen a more wholesome scene, the characters the chess, the talking, the Doc, the voices and noises of the environment… very cool.
Everyone from New York that age is pretty much like those two.
@@ZombieBacon13pretty much old people outside playing any game anywhere around the world.
The Doctor stayed as long as he could; he so wished to be heard and valued, and his friend Johnny included him. Loved that
doctor straight went to another time.
Quote of the year: "I'm a grandmaster at the social aspect. And this is the thing that this game gives birth to. It privileges me to meet people from all over the world, just like I did you. And that fruit settles in my soul. And makes me who I am today." - Johnny
❤❤❤
If you watched the other video before this you can see just how entertaining and well spoken he is
Even the guy wasn't the best player in the world (his words, compared to a GM) , this was a valuable lesson. Funny how you can pick up things from a simple chess video.
That was beautiful
Love this guy=very good person🙏
The guys passion is so infectious. The world needs more people like him.
I am not a chess player, but I watched this whole video with a smile and laughter. Such a relief to see complete strangers engaging in a something positive instead of arguing about things that are truly meaningless in the grand scheme of life. Thanks for sharing!
things that are truly meaningless in the grand scheme of life.
Like chess? lol
things that are truly meaningless in the grand scheme of life.
Like surfing? lol@EarthSurferUSA
The doctor be like "Your resignation is requested" after Qe2 is just badass lol
Legend!
I just like that he's casually larping while playing chess 😂
so he's eaither really good, enough to see that it's practiclly a losing move, or he really is a time traveller
@@bluehairedemon Well he's The Doctor, of course he time travels 😂
Not even that, but also walked away like an absolute boss! :P Badasses dont look at the explosion type of deal! :P
“Your position is kinda airy”
- Doc, The time traveler
Quickly, answer with something timey wimey! 😁
@@kacklerot just don't blink
Johnny's infectious joy when he discovered he was playing against a GM and the pleasure to play against her was a genuine thrill for him. Also, Doc is a time traveler, he knew exactly when the match was won, when to resign, and then moved on because he'd already seen the finish.
I love the way your mom is so humble and soft-spoken while she absolutely CRUSHES this guy.
That's a good thing?
@@Aerojet01 In any case, it's entertaining to watch.
@@Aerojet01 yes. it is.
@@Aerojet01why wouldn’t it be?
I feel like the competitive gaming community has a lot to learn from this guy. Doesnt matter whether its tabletop, wargame video games etc. He just enjoys the game, and the game itself is in the reward. Too many people just care only about the win to the point that nothing else matters and the fun gets lost. Win, lose or draw you know this guy has the time of his life.
I would play Johnny just to say I lost to johnny from NY... Losing to a GM would be awesome! Play for the game not the win.
No. HUMANS need to. Look at every sport that exists, competitive gaming isn't any different so I am not sure why you're singling them out.
It's something you grow into. When you're young you want to be the BEST at what you do - which will come as a big surprise to many, eventually, that you're not even that good. These days I *only* play games because I enjoy them. I don't care about being good or bad, those years are long gone.
@huldu A mate of mine was convinced he was the best at Tekken. The moment online gaming became a thing and he got his ass whopped online every single time it shut him up
@@hulduhear hear! It’s the beauty of playing, and the awe at those masters. It’s all good.
I find that the gentlemen in the back with the green hat has such a hart-warming smile. I simply love seeing his enjoyment watching you guys play.
Just your average time lord, amused by the antics of us curious humans.
Who?
@@myatsan time traveller, Doctor Who
@@Aradhya4444 so... Who is it?
Cornbread vs Doc
czcams.com/video/dF_MyCpBfBU/video.html
Part one already rocked ... but this one is even better.
Like ... alot.
All four of them are the kind of folks that you give you back hope for mankind.
Precious is what they are.
All of these people are just nice and kind and wonderful. For a little moment there I was thinking that chess can save humanity. This chess encounter certainly helped in the right direction. Very wholesome :)
He really is the Grandmaster of the social aspect. This whole video was a treat. Such a pleasure to watch.
Yes he is!!!! I SMILED THE ENTIRE TIME! 🥰
Not really. A teacher yes, but he did make a blunder by teaching a Grandmaster chess.
@@beepbopboop7727They intentionally misled him
2:02 I felt like he really appreciated these words from you, Anna. I also think everyone agrees with it.
yeah you can see him growing a hearthly smile and then he was hiding it a bit with his sweater, so sweet
Yes, indeed. And he was indeed so enthusiastic and theatrical first game.
he's so sweet. Made me so happy
Agreed. And he's a great storyteller too. Gotta love Johnny.
Yeah I learned so much from his explanation!
This dude is so positive it’s really heartwarming
That was pure entertainment. What a character he is and I loved the other old guy "I'm the doctor, Doctor Who from another time and place".
The Doctor realized his friend lost before he even did saying as he walks away “you’re resignation is requested” 😂
And seeing the bar move all the way at the exact same time. That was actually halarious.
Doctor, Doctor, giving out the news in advance
@@neddanson7162 "He's got a... bad case of checkmate"
Lmao
I mean he's a time traveler so of course he knew what was going to happen.
Nice to have a time traveller in a chess video
Pretty neat huh.
He watched this video right now and in 60 years he remembered and went back to watch it live!
@@Amadeus_Flyfishing Dude, that's some mind bending shit lol
EH!? I'm missing this joke and want in bro...
@@Crispi-T i literally read OP’s comment RIGHT before the old man in the green hat answers “I’m the doctor. A time traveler. Doctor who…No I’m from another place. Another place, another time.” Or else I would have been absolutely lost as well.
What a wonderful mother you have. She is so soft spoken and just seems so nice. Really enjoyed the game and conversation.
It is also very lovely the way you show how proud you are of your mom too.
Really love the interaction there. I don’t see any sandbagging but a friendly and passionate exchange of skills and experience that led to a deeper connection as human beings. When you see the smile on them, you know they are enjoying every single bit of it. I don’t know chess, but I know there’s a real conversation beyond words between them.
Johnny enthusiasm is unreal 😂. I love him. I hope one day I play with him.
We cant forget doctor who
HE'S AMAZING
@@kortieblox7985so wholesome. 🥺
@@weakw1llDOCTOR WHO LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
For real if i ever visit New York im gonna search for this dude to play him
He's the DOCTOR! 🌌 I simply loved it!
That was truly amazing. Good to know the Doctor still protects us xD
When he said “I am the Doctor” I had to pause the video and geek out for a second
@@DivinePlant who is he?
@@mishkab3135 there are many versions of him. This just the current doctor
@@mishkab3135 He is Who...
What a genuinely lovely guy.
What a joy to watch such an enthusiastic guy playing Anna's mum! Love him, and the Doc is also a great character.
I haven't been to Manhattan since the 1980s so it's great to see that Washington Square Park is still the same.
Your mother is not only a grandmaster at chess. She is a grandmaster in the art of humbleness and kindness. She truly radiates positive energy. May God protect you and your mother Anna. Love.
She actually feels bad beating people 🤣
The Swedish are generally kind and humble also wise
Yes she's very humble while she's crushing her opponent.
I think she would've wiped the floor easily, but she didn't want to competely demolish the guy lol.
god does not exist. But the Swedes do.
We were no grandmasters, but I remember a guy I used to play with in college. We weren't friends outside of the game, but we played nearly every day over breakfast before class. He was far better than I was and enjoyed teaching me and watching me learn and grow as a player. I'll never forget the first - and only - time I managed to beat him. He was so pleased. I never saw him again after that semester, but I'll never forget him. Great times.
You speak with such passion, I wonder if you could try to reconnect with him? What a reunion that would be!
@@The-Wordsmith I wouldn't even know where to begin. The last I heard, he moved home to Iran after graduating.
@@John-ir4id I hate when that happens
I am sure you would be able to locate him. Which school did you go to? Do you know his name? Which year….
Thanks for sharing, nice story! :)
Anna u have no idea how special this video hit me. You’re so lucky to have your mom & especially to be in the park watching her shine playing chess. Such a beautiful vibe in this video, thank u !
He is a wonderful teacher! He loves the game and imparts his joy and knowledge into those who desire to learn. You and your mom are so much fun to watch! Thanks for sharing. 😊
Love Pia Cramling. She speaks like a calming, soothing angel with a low, soft voice then she unleashes hell upon you and you didn't see it coming. 🙂
Fun
she claims she isnt aggresive anymore, but she put her queen all up in his space and destroyed his position
I don't play chess, i don't care much about chess, but watching you 3 people talking enjoying each others company, enjoying your passion in chess was just wholesome, thank you for sharing
You've got to see people playing chess and trash talking, it's amazing!
Please respect Chess.
Couldn't agree more
I love watching how excited he is to be playing and sharing his passion..
he's just a delight.
I truly love Anna, she’s so kind and respectful towards everyone. Besides she’s soooo proud of her mom!
Your mother and this park player are a gift to humanity.
Oh, I am so glad to see the second game too. Thank you. This was such a great interaction to begin with.
I’m sitting in my work van enjoying this video so much. It was an absolute treat to watch. What a beautiful exchange between some wonderful people. I was moved when Johnny said he was a Grandmaster of the social aspect of chess. He is for sure. ❤️Thank you for sharing this with us.
I notice over a few videos now, when someone tries to explain or guess what your mum is doing by moving a certain move, she usually says, "Yes, but..." and then comes two or three other things of bigger importance than the initial move of the piece we all just observed. Such a BOSS! 🙂
She is so cool man. I had a smile on my face for 15 minutes straight. Didn’t even read comments until after the video lol.
Same bro. Awesome interaction 👏🏼
Wow, same! Such a heartwarming video
"passion and brain, they go together" omg Johnny that one made me tear up. He really does have a way with words
i lived in new york for so long and visited that park many times but never met him. Next time I sure will
Pia you're such an incredibly sweet person. Thank you Anna for bringing this to us! Loved the whole interaction thoroughly. ❤
This guy...! 😊
Such a heartwarming video!
We need more of him!
this is so rare, he keeps everyone engaged without trash talk. now don't get me wrong, I love a bit of playful banter as much as the next guy, buy this guy's just an absolute treasure. I admire his energy, excitement, and encouragement. thoroughly impressed!
"Mom I wanna play you one more!" Had me crying hahaha what a lovely man
It's so awesome you and your mom go out and play random park chess with people. For you guys it's fun content but you're giving the people you play stories to last a lifetime. That's a great gift.
What a great guy! Humble, appreciative and so full of love of the social aspect of the game. It was so wonderful to see you both patiently take the time with him. Like true champions, playing without pomp or arrogance, just for the love of the game and giving mutual time and respect for each other. Thank you for sharing this video!
He meets people from around the world because he plays chess. What a great attitude, the people are more important than the game.
Omg I was not expecting the other guy to say he’s the doctor lmao!
Old Doctor Who was broadcast on CBS back in the day
You guys were really kind to that man. I could see he had one awesome time playing your mom.
I really don’t know much about chess, only the most basic basics, but I’ve watched so many of your videos anyway because the interactions are always so genuine and beautiful. Johnny is an absolute gem, I hope he knows that.
It's a good idea to watch "35 Vital Chess Principles" on the CZcams Channel "Chess Vibes". Teaches all the fundamental stuff in 18 or so minutes.
2:00 the way he brings his hand up you can tell he’s so touched. such a nice series. your positivity is incredible
I love this guy and the interaction between all of you...one of your best video's so far
The conversations along with the games are so interesting.
And you girls are very knowledgeable and humble at the same time!
Your Mom is always impressive. That man's description of the social aspect the game was very eloquent. He has a very positive energy about him.
Listening to this guy and your Mom just being wholesome and lovely to each other is the best therapy I've experienced in a while 😅❤
@Paul Gauthier I have no idea about chess, maybe 30 games to my name in 25 years. But these Chess Hustler Videos are something else. It's like a "people of new york" story, so many entertaining characters!
He loves the game (and people) so much more than he loves winning. You love to see it. What wonderful humility and passion on both sides!
A person who can spin their passion into a story will always be a great teacher. I loved watching Queen's gambit but was never once curious to play, myself. I watched the previous video yesterday, and have been thinking about taking it up, ever since! He's magnificent!
Your mom is so sweet. She apologizes for winning. That is true sportsmanship.
I loved how cool & relaxed the GM mother was. Now the park player, when asked "Who was the best player who beat you?" can say "Pia Cramling".
Miss GM is extremely humble, and Johnny is just so fun to listen to, and his passion for the game is refreshing. GG!
So many characters and here and such lovely interactions between them all! Loved every moment of this
This is an incredibly heartwarming video, Johnnie and Doc are legends in their own right
Johnny's the best. Nobody could love chess more than he. He really knows the game, and gets massive enjoyment, win or lose. What more can you ask for in an opponent? This was a fun watch.
I love your mom and I love this guy. You all seem to have genuinely kind souls and I love seeing the passion you guys have for chess.
Anna - I love the Johnny epsiodes the guy is one in a million his love for life and the game is infectious. Everyone in this video deserves so much out of life. I could and would watch these videos all day.
Anna is so proud of her mum! Pia is so modest calm and quiet but also brilliant and deadly on a chess board. Johnny's genuine pleasure from the social aspect of meeting and playing people is lovely to see, and he's not wrong!
Johnny is so cool and kind. I wish to met him whenever I will go to NYC. Long life Johnny!!
Your mom's radiance is wonderful (strong & calm) 😍 I love watching it ♥️ Thank you! 🙏🏼✨
I love watching these Anna chess videos. They are such fun.
She exudes light and her laughter is like music.
I absolutely LOVE these games where Pia and Anna are together.
His extreme enthusiasm at the prospect of challenging himself against a master is very much to his credit. What a guy!
I kept smiling. This video is so warm and so passionate. I love it.
She is so humble and calm!! I love her personality ✨🌷
This was such a wholesome video. I really enjoyed watching him from trying to teach her to be amazed by ber skill and just wanting the pleasure to play her one more game. No ego, just joy of playing a true master of the game the both obviously love.
Anna keep bringing Johnny back into your stream. You’re going to make him famous. AND he deserves it. He’s got a very big heart!
Go Johnny go! Johnny be good! 🎶
looked up the nyt front page for july 6th 2021- so cool!
the way johnny was explaining chess in the previous vid was so incredible: not shaming, just being educational and treating chess like the action-packed interesting game it is.
I loved this video. The man’s interaction with them and how he described the basics of chess was awesome. You can tell he loves chess and social interaction. He is truly a Grand Master of the Social Game.
Thank you for posting the second game. This was also a beautiful moment.
love this guy from the first time you met , so lovely to see him meet your mum & he is right he wins anyway because he gets to meet great people like you two x
There's soooo many things going on in this video. I love it. Even if you don't like chess (or don't know a thing about chess) you can still enjoy it. Everyone is such a good sport. So wholesome.
I don't even know how to play chess, and I am addicted to these videos! When someone hones their craft to the highest echelon of their discipline, yet is so humble towards others who also practice that skill at a lesser level, and treats them respectfully as a peer, without having an ego... It is where the highest level of respect is achieved. Those people are so rare today, and they model an important aspect of what positive influence actually looks like.
Thank you for making these videos with your mom, they are inspiring.
I love these old guys they always have some cool nicknames that never leaves and with the years it weighs with such respect and admiration that no one question it.
He's the doc, the time traveler. Just brilliant! ❤
I'm not a chess player, but I really really enjoyed watching. So fun and wholesome.
Same
Likewise! I admire people who can play well. Planning ahead isn’t my strong suit. I may have to go there to meet him.
saaaaaaaaaaaaame
if u keep watching u willl be GM...
It's incredible how excited Anna is to see other players recognize her mother's strength, my God, I was moved too, great video o/ big hug from Brazil!
I haven’t even finished the video and I freaking love this clip, probably my most favorite one of all your vids so far, just because how entertaining Johnny is and yes a very fun and awesome guy to socialize n play with it as you can see in this video, love watching these matches, ma GM is so dope to watch her play too
How wholesome.. as someone who grew up without parents around this comes off incredibly sweet her admiration for her mother is heart warming.
This man’s personality, his whole mindset on everything is so genuine! He’s such a joy to watch, how he lights up with excitement when he realizes she’s a GM. He’s just so full of joy and has such an amazing outlook on life
he claims hes a GM too... in the "social aspect"
Full of shit more like.
This man was an excellent sport and a true master of the social aspect. All 3 of you are beautiful souls. Thanks for sharing.
I've got to say I've stumbled across your videos. I've never been more interested and intrigued by chess. And the video before made me emotional. The passion with in this man is amazing, but your mother is a darling.
That was so adorable to watch. I feel in my gut this guy rarely gets compliements so it was really nice of you both to tell him his teaching was great and fun. I felt really fulfilled when you did this. All of you're fantastic and I hope you'll meet somewhen again as he wished🥰
