  • I was at a poker tournament and decided to play some chess on the break.

  • It started off great.

  • I was dominating these poker players.

  • But then, a secret grandmaster came to humble me.

  • Give him two minutes.

  • They want me to give him two minutes.

  • They think he's so good that he needs to have less than half my time, and that is insulting. I don't know how good you are, but good luck.

  • And this is his friend, his cheerleader.

  • Okay, so if he wanted to give me odds, I'm guessing...

  • Okay, I'm a little...

  • Okay, this is intimidating.

  • I'm gonna trade queens because then I can't blunder it.

  • He's not even talking to me.

  • Okay.

  • I mean, this is theory, so...

  • It's too much.

  • Too much time?

  • Yes.

  • Okay, okay.

  • What's your one-minute rating?

  • 2,800?!

  • Jesus Christ, they're feeding me to the wolves.

  • Alright.

  • Okay.

  • Alright. I don't want an audience watching me lose.

  • That's pretty embarrassing, but here we are.

  • Anatoly, can you distract him, please?

  • Okay.

  • He has to put some pressure.

  • He's putting a lot of pressure, man.

  • I feel all the pressure.

  • And I just...

  • I think I just blundered.

  • Oh, man, this is not good.

  • Okay.

  • Alright.

  • Okay, Kostya, come on, don't embarrass yourself.

  • We're working hard.

  • We're working, we're working.

  • Shoo!

  • Okay?

  • Defense.

  • It's not taking a single second.

  • Are you titled, by the way?

  • Yes, of course.

  • Okay.

  • Yeah, he won a few tournaments before this.

  • Okay, good to know.

  • Is he better in poker or chess?

  • Or both?

  • The man's just a legend.

  • Both.

  • Okay.

  • In Mario.

  • Mario.

  • Adjust.

  • Okay.

  • He's very intimidating.

  • Okay, we go here.

  • Very predictable.

  • But only because it's a good move.

  • How do I save this?

  • I have no idea.

  • Okay, well, I guess I need to take.

  • And I guess I will try to trade and pray for a draw.

  • Okay.

  • This way.

  • More trash talk, come on.

  • I'm talking the entire time.

  • Alessandro, you can't do that.

  • Who are you cheering for, me or him?

  • For you.

  • Okay, thank you.

  • Can I hold it if he takes my knight?

  • I don't know what I get the best chances in here.

  • I think I need to actually try this.

  • Okay.

  • All right.

  • He doesn't want to trade.

  • So that meant that my instinct was good there.

  • But I have a minute and a half.

  • Come on.

  • He pushed it!

  • Good job.

  • Hard work.

  • Hard, hard. 800 elo.

  • I know, he's.

  • Alessandro, come on, 800 elo.

  • I'm trying.

  • This guy is very strong.

  • Good?

  • Offer draw.

  • Offer draw.

  • We're playing for serious money.

  • Approximately how much?

  • It is what it is.

  • I know.

  • It's okay.

  • I have an idea, but it's not a good idea. 44 seconds.

  • It's like busting on the bubble.

  • I'm busting.

  • Yeah, I know.

  • Okay.

  • Now he pushes his pawn.

  • But you know what?

  • We have compensation.

  • Maybe.

  • Probably not.

  • GG.

  • Okay.

  • One bullet rematch.

  • Grandmaster?

  • Grandmaster.

  • Oh.

  • Good luck.

  • Yeah.

  • Good.

  • Alessandro, let's go.

  • I'm trying.

  • Sorry.

  • Okay, this is not good, but we try.

  • Shit.

  • Sometimes it happens.

  • Okay.

  • Ugh, too strong.

  • Good game.

  • Okay, well, we lost.

  • Easiest 10 bucks in my life.
