Hustling in chess is pretty much the same as any hustle whereby some form of money is involved between chess players and usually finds itself going in the direction of the chess hustler who has drawn someone in and beaten them in a game of chess, usually to their rules with a fair amount of distraction and, or cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chess hustling is playing chess for money and either using a concealed amount of expertise, or less honest tactics to win games against opponents. Chess hustlers will challenge for money and can often be highly skilled at the game<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A chess hustler may not be as highly rated on the chessboard as expected. Generally, a chess hustler will gain victories by unobserved cheating<\/a>, distraction techniques, or focusing ability on specific traps that less practiced players will fall for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Many chess hustlers, however, are very skilled and whilst may not have an official rating, will be able to beat very good players. In Moscow, some unrated hustlers are known for beating GMs in blitz games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
