Welcome to the ChessCafe.com Video Spotlight. Each Wednesday and Saturday we will feature a chess related video for your entertainment.

Jay King cannot remember the last time he lost at chess. His challengers have come from all ends of this earth. But the result is usually the same: a loss. His accomplishments have not come on the grandest of stages though, as he has done his check-mating at Starbucks in Five Points, thereby proclaiming himself as "The Coffee Shop Chess King." However, WLTX Sports Director Ari Bergeron was not impressed and took on Jay in a friendly game. But not before asking the self-professed king, "What You Got?"
