NBA Rookie of the Year Victor Wembanyama made a call to fans on social media looking for a chess partner on the NYC streets and to the surprise of many he came through.

Victor Wembanyama took his game to a different venue Saturday. The NBA star, who plays for the San Antonio Spurs and goes by the nickname Wemby, took to X in the early hours of Saturday to ask where the best place to play chess in New York City is.

Washington Square Park is a known spot for chess in New York — Bobby Fischer among others have famously played there, and it’s been a spot used for multiple movie scenes featuring the game.
