Busted out laughing when the camera panned to the audience all hitting the thinking man pose. Most sophisticated esports crowd lmao.

Best format chess has been presented in years. FIDE, Freestyke, take note. Fans want more of this.

@Heybrotruthhurts 1 year ago

Not gonna lie, this was the most entertaining chess format ive seen. The layout, the commentators, everything was a lot more engaging than other chess tournament/matches.

I don't know chess can be this entertaining. Esport team buy profesional chess player on spectacular stage, what a wondeful game.

Damn hikaru bpm is like he is after running bro 😂

@iamsigmagigachad 1 year ago

This battle felt more like the grandfinals. Hikaru put up a better fight for Magnus than Alireza.

0:17 Is Nakamura listening to I Hate Everything About You by Three Days Grace as preparation to play magnus? LMAO

@Ronin_4711 8 months ago

You can like or hate Magnus, but HR of 80 is just pure confidence

I have two suggestions, instead of a green border for both player camera, you could use both white and black borders so it's quicker to know who's who. Also one thing that could be great is to show the opening name as they play the first moves on the UI.
