在华盛顿广场公园下棋引发关注后，维克托·文班亚马(Victor Wembanyama)在新闻发布会上再次强调了这一想法
在马刺队驻留纽约期间，文班亚马前往华盛顿广场公园下棋。
他最初在推特上邀请挑战者与他会面并对弈。
谁想在华盛顿广场公园的西南角和我见面下棋？我就在那里

在 Gotham Chess 的 YouTube 视频中，美国象棋大师兼 Gotham Chess 主持人列维·罗兹曼(Levy Rozman)描述了文班的策略和风格。
罗兹曼讲解了文班亚马与 Chess.com 的产品经理迪伦·里特曼(Dylan Rittman)的对弈。他分析了这局棋的优缺点，并进行了一些实战讲解。
罗兹曼还列出了 NBA 象棋球员的“首发五虎”，包括卢卡·东契奇(Luka Doncic)、杰伦·布朗(Jaylen Brown)、德怀特·霍华德(Dwight Howard)、维克托·文班亚马和克莱·汤普森(Klay Thompson)（汤普森曾在凯撒医疗广告中下棋）。他还提到了戈登·海沃德(Gordon Hayward)、杰米·雅克二世(Jaime Jacques Jr.)和德里克·罗斯(Derrick Rose)都是狂热的象棋爱好者。
如果你对象棋略知一二，那么这个大约 15 分钟的视频值得一看。
在最近的新闻发布会上，有人问文班亚马是否认真考虑组织一场 NBA 慈善象棋锦标赛。他的回答轻松而真诚。
“当然。如果我们认真对待这件事，当然可以。这并不难办。”
当被问及他是否打算将这项赛事添加到全明星赛时，文班回答道：
“那会很有趣。那肯定会很有趣。我会参加的。”
他还确认他知道东契奇和布朗都下棋，并提到了卡梅隆·约翰逊(Cam Johnson)。
他还表示，他和马刺传奇人物肖恩·埃利奥特(Sean Elliott)要进行一场对弈。
“是的，他刚刚向我发起了挑战。我们得解决一下这个问题。”
鉴于文班在联盟中的人气和影响力，在本赛季的全明星赛期间，可能会出现一些他与其他 NBA 球星对弈的照片。
而作为 NBA 未来的门面担当，文班亚马发起慈善活动是必然的。

After making news playingt Washington Square Park, Victor Wembanyama doubles down in a press conference
During the Spurs stay in New York, Victor Wembanyama made a trip out to Washington Square Park to play chess.
He initially tweeted inviting challengers to meet and play.
Who wants to meet me at the SW corner of Washington Square park to play chess? Im there

In a Gotham Chess YouTube video, American Chess Master and Gotham Chess host Levy Rozman describes Wemby’s strategy and style.
Rozman runs through the match Wembanyama played against Chess.com’s Product Manager Dylan Rittman. He analyzes the game for strengths and weaknesses, giving somewhat of a play-by-play.
Rozman also named a “starting five” of NBA chess players including Luka Doncic, Jaylen Brown, Dwight Howard, Victor Wembanyama, and Klay Thompson (who used chess in a Kaiser Permanente ad). He also mentions Gordon Hayward, Jaime Jacques Jr., and Derrick Rose as adamant chess players.
The video is about 15 minutes and worth the time if you have even a rudimentary understanding of chess.
During a recent press conference, Wemby was asked about the seriousness of putting together an NBA charity chess tournament. His response was light, yet earnest.
“Of course. If it’s something we take seriously, of course. It’s not hard to make.”
When asked if he was aiming to add this to the All-Star Game, Wemby responded,
“It would be fun. That would be fun for sure. I’ll be in.”
He also validated he was aware Luka Doncic and Jaylen Brown both played adding Cam Johnson to the conversation.
He also stated that he and Spurs legend Sean Elliott were due for a game.
“Yeah, he just provoked me in a duel. We’re gonna have to settle this.”
With Wemby’s popularity and influence over the league, it stands to reason that some photos could emerge during this season’s All-Star Game of Victor engaging other NBA stars in matches.
But as Victor Wembanyama is the future face of the NBA, a charity event is inevitable.
