Should Magic the Gathering, poker, and chess be classified as esports? I mean people view them as video games essentiallyâŚ
Chess could get more mainstream if they broadcast big tournaments like the Sinquefield Cup and such on Twitch
This is how much the top chess players make per year. According to the article, it is probably two times as much because of secret envelopes stuffed with cash:

Insightful
Why donât we have female fighting game players that make top 8 in majors?
Judit is like 41 years old nowâŚ
is this some kind of sick joke? qa5??? some kind of gross modern chess opening - does it work???
@fishjie it doesnât look bad. It pins a pawn, develops a piece and canât be chased away. Inferior yes. But not bad.
Ne2 is some jank shit too by white. Theyâre just trying to introduce complications in the caro-kahn to put a stop to an otherwise drawish game.

Also, I remember playing back from 1999 until 2002 or so in Kuhio Beach Park (Honolulu):
i just donât understand the game. ne2??? you block your queen and your own damn bishop
c6??? sure it supports a strong center with a d5 push, but way to block the square for your knight and then qa5 moving out your queen on the second move.
all stuff that the books tell you NOT to do. the books will teach you guiding principles in the opening, but its clear that it all gets thrown into the trash bin at the highest level. nasty
but because these guys have probably memorized whatever gross ugly opening this is to the first 20 lines or so they can get away with it
high level chess is equivalent to high level Street Fighter games. Half the things you donât supposed to do or âplay that wayââŚ
