How to Play Chess in West Baltimore

It was very good. Very funny.

fuck! i live in west baltimore. seriously though, driving through the city, they'd have these yellow plastic signs that said 'the wire' and an arrow, and thats where they set up. they set up outside of where i worked, near penn station. it got to the point sometimes where we couldnt get to our loading dock 'cause they were filming right in front of our building. excellent show though, even if they did block up the streets all the time. utterly accurate representation of baltimore.

i've been to west baltimore and it is truly a thug paradise

You have to be a "brother" to teach other "brothers" how to play chess...

this is the only good clip ive ever seen it from the show. seriously.

Um, to the commenter below - DUH, it's credited in the video description, where it clearly says "THE WIRE". Dumbass.

This was really a tru thug moment I will share with my kids. The great days I use to sit playing chess in the hood waiting to get killed bye a drive bye.

Stupid. At least credit where the clip comes from. FYI, it's from the first season of HBO's The Wire.

trust two narrow minded idiots to say he did not explain the knight because he is black... pooman actually suits you as a name since you must be absolute garbage

good one, pooman.
