Season two of Thirteen's New York on the Clock has arrived, and we got a sneak peek of their premiere. It might not be as exciting as finding out what's become of Don Draper by 1964, but it is a nice look at real New Yorkers doing some interesting things. Their latest one focuses on Russ Makofsky, a life-long chess player who teaches children and adults at The Royal Game for Chess NYC in Greenwich Village.
In case you were wondering where we fall in the world of chess, when asked, "Where do you think the most famous chess city is?" Mokofsy says, "It has to be New York. All the Grandmasters in the U.S. live in New York. A lot of the most famous chess matches and chess locations are in New York. We have Washington Square Park, which is arguably the most famous chess park in the world." So there you have it!
