In the summer of 2009 I filmed my brother Elijah face off against the Legendary Cornbread.

It is said they played on Bobby Fischer's table. It has rounded edges whereas all the other tables are squared.

It was an epic battle at Washington Square Park in NYC.

Music track is "Black Smoke" by The Longfellow Project (my hip hop group, check us out at thelongfellowproject.bandcamp.com) I have my beats available at http://www.octavators.com Lots of royalty free music there for sale.

  • A Black guy named Cornbread and a White guy named Elijah. Only in NYC.

  • I made a living for over a decade in the Park...hustling hustlers and nailing IM"S and GM's/tourists who think everyone is easy pickings.People often stood in line for hours to pay to play me...it was kewl.Yaacov and I had some good games but we did not want to play for money.Naka came incognito (to most :) ) but we never got to play.People wanted him to play me but it just never happened.I still think he and Magnus are the two best in the world.But be careful when yall playin 4 cash...:) .

  • hahaha

  • @myst93 Jellobrain...aka mys193 ...Wanna play?? It's that simple.I told you above and in my personal message to you history events.To you,Naka and the Yak are gods.Nooo...they are just fantastic chess players and wonderful men of achievement.But even such greats as they lose.That is how lower rateds become higher rated ...or stronger OTB blitz.Noah,Yac will continue being legendary.I give them their props at WSP,online,and Sullivan Street.But others have skill too.They would agree.So BACK OFF...

  • @spiritgifted Lol, so funny. You talk as if you would have a shot against Nakamura, let alone Yaacovn. "Be careful when you're playing for cash", lol, yeah, I'll let Nakamura know to watch out for you, LOL..
