    And we care about this why? If no one knew about it and they weren't advertising it then who the fuck cares?! If there isn't any valid news regarding chess, then so be it. No need to fabricate drama from nothing.

    I co-started a club at work recently, we've had 3 tournaments and will hopefully soon be able to get our own sets and clocks to organize lessons 🙂

    Ok guys. We need 1 billion of ppl (I'm sure we can do that, just grab your friends) to donate (or better buys levys courses/book) At least 1$ so levy can become ANOTHER chess billionaire and so chess gonna be in good hands!

    Its a big realisation if u think about it, like what if its just a downwards spiral after this, i play chess religiously but people tell me all the time that it wont get me anything, when is that gonna change…😮‍💨

    This is a great call-to-action, Levy. I love hearing you vision articulated. You’re thinking like a chess player in regards to business, marketing the game as a whole.

    As someone that started chess because of you, and just became a full-time chess tutor, thank you so much. Please keep making your content and inspiring more people to give this beautiful game a chance.

    gothamchess videos without any actual chess are always just giant yap sessions

    omg “HUGE” drama: Magnus and Hikaru rescheduled an event where they will both make millions for a few weeks later due to some whatever unimportant insurance thing that Levy was too lazy to find out

    Philosophical Levy is what will make chess the biggest sport in the world. Everyone watch out, Levy is about to walk up and slap a chess board upside your head.

    Hikaru: Levy never gonna be a GM
    Levy: Oh no, my mouse "slip" [2:54]

    I thought it doesn't include boxing? since in the Hikaru's video I don't remember he mention it

    Fully agree. There's a reason bullet games are so captivating and engaging

    My take on this, is that Chess is a 1v1 competitive sport, this is why Boxing, league of legends, and other sports or games of sorts gain the same audience.
    Gaining and aiming towards WHO IS BETTER is always loved, there should be a UFC of chess. Limits on the line, shows that add chess.
    Battle bots is amazing because it shows the fun at the end, the finished product at work, you WORKED on that, you MADE that, you ENGINEERED that.
    That's why it's beautiful. Work, intelligence, and then the end, big boom. Like seeing a checkmate either on yourself or others.

    I like your awareness, I watch your videos because of your wicked humor and ofcourse to hear you scream rook 7 times in a video

    We need a red bull sponsored chess boxing tournament.

    I remember 7 years ago when I used to play chess, I was always told not to and wasn't good at it so I quit. Recently, when I saw an actual game played, I was so excited that I decided to pick it up again. Although I never watched Queen's Gambit or didn't learn about the Chess Cheater scandal just a few weeks ago, it makes me happy that we got more people participating in chess through them but this makes me sad. As a viewer, I'm not complaining but just sad.
    Thank you Levy for this.

    hehe i think you so sad because you dont get the money from the event you suposed to get. I feel ya bro

    Bro sounds so depressed, get some therapy man.

    haha wft is this? why so sad about this? i dont understand nothing

    Oh boy. The sadness was felt. I hope they reschedule this match

    The thing is, I play table tennis and it's a great sport. It's just not entertaining enough for uneducated people just like chess sadly. Btw, I don't watch table tennis except some highlights because I miss engagement in the players backstory too

    Nah why bro call us out???? Bro called his audience out for not watching chess before 2021 before even telling us what happened. Like chill out on the addy levy

    Levy for President!

    Chess is not as popular because it is for the dying breed of those still using their brain. 🤔

    Everything gets faster nowadays – I am glad that chess is still the same pace as ages ago.

    Chess has the same exact problems as BJJ. Not enough high level competitors putting out engaging content. And the format is too “boring” for widespread viewership and to be more commercialized.

    Чессбокс — такая пошлость! Вспоминается «Человек с бульвара каппуцинов». Мистер Секонд. Деньги оправдывают любую пошлость? Учитывая современные тенденции в американском социуме, можно предположить заключительную порку побежденного ради зрелищности. Просто шаг дальше на пути унижения достоинства выступающих клоунов.

    If I win the power ball I will fix the whole situation

    Chess has never been more popular in the history of the game. I suspect that this tournament event between the two most popular chess individuals will happen because now that we know about it, the fan momentum will make it a reality.

    Take a shot every time Levy has Hikaru and Carlsen in the title.

    The real reason this farce was cancelled? They couldn't sell 50 tickets to an event featuring a couple of out of shape couch potatoes playing chess and then every once in a while getting into the ring for some slapping.

    Jokes on you, I played chess for the first time in 1999 at the age of 7.

    While I agree with the point about the commercial viability of chess, I would like to note that there is at least one other sport where matches take hours and tournaments take weeks and is a commercial success, namely road cycling. The Tour de France is 3 weeks long and each stage takes several hours. The difference probably is that during a stage there are several smaller battles going on that are easy to understand for the average viewer.

    I love the honesty in all this. There's more soul to this channel than lots of people realize.
