Comment from my 87yo father in law, a retired attorney: "Years ago I represented Yasser Seirawan, then the U.S. chess champ. He was interested in the Washington Square scene so I took him downtown. Of course, the hustlers were after him: he looked like a reasonably prosperous guy. He accepted after playing a little hard to get. The shock was obvious when he played much faster than the clock and won easily. He wouldn't take their money and when he told them his name they loved having played against him especially since he didn't complete the hustle by taking their money."
