Recently was playing chess with a friend in Dolores Park, SF. A man who said that he had only recently gotten out of jail/prison a few months ago (he said he dealt drugs in the Tenderloin) asked for a game and beat both of us (albeit close matches).
He said he learned all of his chess in prison and was really excited to happen to find other people playing.
