Skillful

A trash talking chess hustler takes on a random opponent... unfortunately for him said random opponent was Chess Grandmaster Maurice Ashley. Video title itself says Central, but everyone on the reddit is sure it is Washington Square.
Skillful do to Maurice Ashley's handling of it, especially the guys attempt to pull off two pieces in one move.

Apparently the guy, Wilson, is fairly well known in Washington Park.
