I rarely talk about what I'm doing behind the scenes, but honestly I'm super proud of this one. Really felt like the format and schedule sung and culminated in what was arguably the best spectator experience for a chess tournament so far this year. Thanks to all who tuned in!

The Evo staff absolutely killed it this year. What a show

Isai wins a major 64 tourney for the first time since 2014, popping off with every game win along the way. Undisputed best player in the early 2000s and still winning over top international talent in 2023. What an inspiration

We're live from LA with ludwig for the PogChamps 5 finals! Can't wait to see streamers try their hand at over-the-board chess

CNN's talking about double elim brackets now 👀 Glad we're well past the days of "unfair results" cnn.com/2023/09/30/spo…

First time missing Big House in over 10 years... it was a good run 🥲 Been pretty out of the game lately but I'll still make it out to at least 1 major per year

It all comes down to this! 2022 CCT champ Magnus Carlsen vs 2022 CGC champ @GMWesleySo123. These scripts always write themselves. Can't wait to award the trophy to the well-deserved champion 🏆 twitch.tv/chess #CCTFinals

The FIDE World Rapid is a good reminder of why pure Swiss is a bad format to determine a champ. Fedoseev, with a chance at the title, draws his final game in 9 moves to increase his chances at a higher final standing for more prize money rather than trying to win the tournament🙄

Showing up to Collision today to hang out! If anyone needs ICs practice hmu

I'm pumped for the inaugural chess salty suite 🍿

Hey Team Liquid, when's the Melee Doubles / Bughouse crossover event? I'm here for team hungrybox and Fabiano Caruana

Still the biggest ass beating I ever took Hax$ was a friend in and out of the game for 15 years. I'll cherish the better days we shared, from Toywiz locals to endless controller chats. Truly one of the most influential people in our scene. RIP Aziz youtube.com/watch?v=aPKQfS…

melee players, is hungrybox always this clutch?

Honored to be able to contribute to SummoningSalt's first Melee video! Stadium was my gateway to competitive Melee, so it's a blast seeing one of my favorite content creators cover a piece of this community's rich history.
