These NYC Girls are Dominating Youth Chess
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2015
- Chess has often been regarded as a "man's game" but a group of girls from Intermediate School 318 in Brooklyn, NY - which has the best scholastic chess program in the country at any grade level - are out to change that old idea. This past year, four of the girls qualified for the 2015 World Youth Championship in Greece, two were nationally ranked as top chess players in the country, and the team has been dominating the local tournaments they've participated in. In this VICE Sports exclusive, we meet some of the members of the team to follow their journey to the U.S. Girls National Chess Championship as they prove that girls can play chess - and win.

These girls work very hard in school and in chess. Nancy, Mengnan, Vicki, Katrina and Samantha.
The first 4 are invited to be part of Team USA and will represent USA in October in Greece; and they are well deserved.
People who turn this into a race thing, please be mindful that these girls check the comments here daily and some were hurt by what you guys said. Really uncalled for!
If you want to be good, work hard and you will be; it's never a race thing.
Fuck you
@@drose6437 Chess loser or just loser?
I did not know they were part of Team USA. That is rly cool!
I played Vicki two years ago in Chicago at the girls nationals. I ended up drawing but I should have won. I cried after the game because I was so annoyed at myself. The next year I went into high school and stopped playing chess because I didn't have a lot of free time and my high school didn't even have a chess club last year. I somewhat regret stopping but somewhat don't because you only have so much time in life. Great job to Vicki and the other girls though.
How are you doing now? Still playing?
@@joatanpereira4272 nah, probably busy plotting against tristate area and fighting Perry
i wish my school had these when i was a kid.
Me too. I'd probably be an IM now.
Same
I see a great storyline for what would be a great movie.
+MaseratiShaddi I agree
If they win a international tournament It would be a movie
There is a movie. It's not about the girls but it's about IS318's dream team. It's called Brooklyn castle
There are already several movies based in scholastic chess in New York City. Searching for Bobby Fischer, Knights of the South Bronx, Brooklyn Castle and Life of a King are a few of them.
Well the Queen's Gambit is here. Not an Asian girl in New York tho but a girl in USA
Very nice! Their "Never Resign" attitude is really inspiring! Strong and powerful young women. They will do great things.
Good Job Girls, keep that motto of "Never Surrender". It will serve you well in the future.
Sometimes you gotta know when to give up the win and force the draw to avoid a loss
a 1900 rating is impressive for a 7th grader. It took me 3.5 years from the start of high school to get there.
It took me until the age of 54 to get there.
Same here. She's amazing.
I was 1770 in 5th, 1820 in 6th, around 2050 in 7th, 2120 in 8th, and 2200 in 9th. It’s much much harder to get higher level, much of my rating increase was because of my coach and a lot of tournaments
This is the one discipline that does bring out a child's inner genius. It is great to see so many juniors playing the skills they use are transferable to other areas of their lives. Chess really does imitate life!
318 is the school to be for chess.
the series that vice sports has about different sports happening with success in different nyc neighbourhoods and buroughs, maybe it isn't a series, is probably my favourite vice series
Awesome documentary! I wish these girls the best.
Cool seeing my school. Sadly it's my last year here. It's been fun
Watching this makes me want to be a kid again... *sigh*
Great last line and it's true. The Queen is the most powerful piece in Chess. :D
I am so inspired! Loved this piece because it gave a voice to some really amazing middle schoolers. You are all forces to be reckoned with! :)
What a nice teacher they have :-)
Great Piece.
+XiangTheBest do you mean, important or powerful?
Aaaah, “piece”. Nice.
This is so awesome. I wish it was a full feature documentary. Never Resign is a fantastic title.
Huge props to their coach. He knows the ins and outs of their lives. You can tell me really cares for these kids.
Awesome piece, go girls!! Keep it up!
Finally some quality shit from Vice
Anders S pretty much all stuff from vice is good and accurate. They made documentaries on Ukraine and being from Ukraine I think they were very accurate and honest.
Oobah butler is cool
I just graduated from i.s. 318 and I thank them for making me the young man i am today
I love this, man. This video along with these kids make me wanna cry ❤️😢
Looks Great!
Great video very inspiring
they kept saying girls but they really meant to say asian females
+Talieisn Morgan Then you might as well say school age Asian females from Intermediate School 318 in Brooklyn, NY who came from difficult family situations
Surprised this wasn't featured on broadly
major props and MUCH RESPECT to ALL the chess players and coaches.to me they are great inspirations. I agree ww/ the coach I would also be proud to have Vicky or Calvin as a son and/or daughter. I bet they will each be great parents some day.wishing everyone on the chess team Good Fortune and Many Winnings.
Always great to see a new generation get into chess
the kid at 2:46 just sleeping LOL
I wish I could find a woman who was as much into chess as I am. That'd be hot.
+ItBurns WhenIPEE It would be hot. But only because it burns.
ItBurns WhenIPEE it wouldn't. You should be looking for a good girlfriend or wife not a good chess opponent.
I hear Rossie O'donnel plays chess, hit her up for a date.
this is my school 318 rules😎😘😄😃💞💖💕
Chess is a "man's game" - said no one ever
Of course, chess is for all. But in general...men are better at it that women, and women have to accept this. History has show this to be true.
and future will tell another story.
@@balthazargdp5459 nope because I'm playing again and I'm gonna be the world champion and stay the world champion for a very long time I just crushed a women's international master about a week ago and that's just the first game in what's going to be a long string of wins against titled players
Thats really coool
Looked up my school, and here I am.
Not a lot of DIVERSITY in this team.
completely untrue
great video. but they do exaggerate a bit. don't get ,etc wrong they are great players, but no where near the very best in the nation overall. there are at least 100 kids in Saint Louis alone who could easily beat them. like people rated well over 2200. I'm not sure as far as girls in chess goes. they are probably ranked very high in that regard. but best of luck to them. they obviously know what they're doing and are hard workers. and that is the best way to get better.
The film is about the best girls in the nation, and they solidly fall under that category so i'd say it's pretty legit.
I seriously don't understand the gap in boys and girls at top level chess.
Ken Zaraki,player rated 2300 usfc are in the 1% of the best so you wouldn't find many at 2300 in the whole usa.
Awesome 👍👍👍
they did an entire movie about this chess program.the movie is called Brooklyn Castle
Magnus Carlsen teach em your ways!
great movie and history!
All the best all the best
mad respect to Samantha
That beat in the beginning is crazy good lol
I've always wanted to learn how to play chess
It's soooooo simple to play chess. The rules are really simple. You can be up and playing a few minutes after learning the rules. Of course, winning is another matter.
Brilliant, Polgars in the making.
Wouldn't it be interesting if one of these girls play against a grand master?
How many U14 GMs do you know?

Never knew PPD's dad was a chess coach
Their gonna be really successful one day
amazing.
The most Chinese part of this video was when she told her mom she won 94 dollars
internet is life
There's Hikaru Nakamura girl and youngest chinese version, xD.
like they say chinese beats everyone or asian they are both very very good
This video was made back in 2015. What is her current status in terms of her Chess level?
Wfm
2:14 isn't that like...illegal?

Why do they have separate divisions? Isn’t chess a sport where boys and girls could face each other?
Some tournaments they do some they dont
She's in my school lol and is that phone a 30 dollars
The kids don't get to keep the trophy's?
Of course Vice would do something like this.
Feminist chess!!
This z insane...
Waverly Jong gotta chill
This is beautiful
The girls are great but that 4th grader nearly beat her. That kids 8 or 9 years old lol. I wonder how good they are in comparison to magnus.
+MrCaseHarts you also forgot to mention that the "8-9 year old kid" attends to a school that cost about $1.2 Million dollar for K-12...
All of them crumble to dust in the prescence of Magnus.
Why are there no female world champions at this rate
Some very bland and ultimately meaningless comments made in this video. Like "girls are a force to be reckoned with" and pointing out the fact that certain players being "one of the best female chess players in the USA" is somehow an achievement for WOMEN is such a joke. Yes, in a field of two, they are second best. In a two horse race, 2nd is a nice way of saying worst. Live with it!! And I'm only 1/4 way through this "women are as good as men in chess" promotional video nonsense. Just highlighting all the moments that women appear to be winning. Shame on all the women who took part.
Probably a dime a dozen in china
mainly Chinese lol
Vice, you don't get to do your "Girls are better than boys na na na" thing when Asians are involved
hey, don't be races
In no where of the video, it said girls are better than boys.
Luna Chan
Tell me Luna do you just click on the internet and watch Vice videos only?
And your point related to this particular documentary?
+Luna Chan
Vice has a glut of social justice warrior cockroaches writing for it and this piece is obviously in response to the minor controversy of when Chess grandmaster Nigel Short was crtiticised for appearing to say that women are not as well suited to the game as men. So naturally, vice has to run out and find some girls that are good at chess so they can go: "see?!" but as I said in my original comment, Asians don't count.
UNDERSTAND NOW?
Future PhD's!
Why does every sport video that has a female team their is always one of them who says that... "Since we are girls we best boys" like no. Chess is a universal game and anyone cane beat anyone. Even if one is 7 and half and named Magus Carlsen.
im only 1300 :(
I am young and am over 1600.
If it was a step competition or a twerk off than you would see more black kids. But of course brain and intellect is involved here.
KinGIIRomE, shut tf up
Chill Tyrell
Who hurt you? Get a life.
All asian?
Lithostheory, no. There were also black and white kids
they aren't even that good. bobby fischer was a grandmaster at 14
+tra789 Not sure why you even bring him up, you are comparing a legend to these seemingly ordinary girls, what would be the point?
+tra789 That's like saying what is the point of talking about other basketball players when Michael Jordan is GOAT
I am very sure that they will be happy to play a few rounds with you... :). Don't expect them to resign anytime soon though.

Today we are going to discuss the racist and sexist undertones of chess.
Let us start with the queen. Why is this piece considered to be the only female on the board? Her mobility and versatility make her highly desirable to capture, but these qualities are in fact a metaphor for he femininity, and the male pieces don't like the way she is able to express herself so well on the board, thus, when they try to oppress that aspect of her by capturing her, they are literally raping her, which is worse than death. For centuries, this game has been teaching people that women belong in the kitchen, and that they deserve to be raped. It's fucking disgusting.
+Wow Wow Next, we have the king. The king is the patriarch of the the board. THe objective of the game is to trap or capture him, obviously because he is male and 'men are so much better than women'. Yet the king is basically a neutered version of the queen, who is objectively more capable on all aspects, so why isn't the game focused on capturing her? I blame the patriarchy for this. His very title implies a great deal of heteronormativity. King and Queen, as if marriage should only ever occur between a man and a woman. Why couldn't we have another King instead of a queen or two queens? They should at least let players choose, as this is something that happened continually throughout history. Just look it up in any common textbook. But instead, racist misogynists insist on denying the historical record by misrepresenting the board, and, doing so, just by obeying the rules of the game, oppress entire demographics and minorities.
+Wow Wow deep af... sounds like an excerpt from a college gender studies paper
but the most important piece is the king ;)
"Asian" girls
I believe that the Asians are taking over chess. Not girls.
that girl needs to shave.
Why are they all asians!!!!!????
The world chess rankings say it's true.
