Dylan Loeb McClain has a good article in today's
New York Times on the chess hustling scene in the city ("
In Street Chess Games, a Pedigreed Pastime Becomes a Gritty Sideline"). There have been a number of pieces on the chess hustling scene in NYC (e.g.: "
New York Chess Fans Take the Game to the Street" or "
It was supposed to have been a pleasant Sunday afternoon in Bryant Park"), which is also featured in books and films (most notably
Searching for Bobby Fischer). In my view, it's a rich part of the
Chess Tourist scene (
see also here).
