Brynn Whitfield showed some of her chess skills on RHONY Season 14, and it turns out it wasn’t all for show. When it comes to public perception, most Housewives have a bad track record. The “Real Housewives” title usually has a bad connotation. But Real Housewives of New York’s editors didn’t do Brynn Whitfield any favors in particular.
Since her introduction, many have seen Brynn as nothing more than ditsy and flirtatious. Since the RHONY edit didn’t include much in the way of her career, Brynn ultimately came off as pretty one-note.
Brynn has done just about everything in her power to try and combat the general perception others have of her. In these efforts, Brynn recently visited a charter school to discuss chess with some of the students.
Brynn’s favorite chess opening and defense
In a TikTok from SACharterSchools, Brynn sat at the end of a table where two students were about to play chess. She said to one of the students, “Tell me what your favorite opening is. Do you want me to go first?” After the student nodded, Brynn said, “My favorite opening is King’s pawn E4.” She then held the mic up to the student.
The student said, “My favorite opening is also King’s opening E4.” The student across from her said, “My favorite opening is the Colle system. Brynn then asked the same student what their favorite defense was, to which the student said, “The Sicilian Defense.” The RHONY star replied, “Same,” and the other student said, “Same.”
Brynn said, “I think we’re triplets,” and laughed. If the TikTok was a PR move for Brynn, it worked. Commenters were all too supportive of Brynn’s chat with the kids. As the top commenter wrote, “my goodness Brynn is absolutely ✨stunning✨ and has the best vibes.” Negative comments were few and far between.
The Real Housewives of New York City Reunion, Part 2 airs October 28 at 9/8c on Bravo.
