I'm Not A GrandMaster, But I Did Watch The Queen's Gambit Twice
This is one of my all-time favorite clips. I call this the "Rags' Gambit." The timing plus the called shot, plus the execution still makes me hype to this day.
And if you're wondering, yes I am one of those people that got into Chess in a big way after watching the Queen's Gambit. If anybody wants the smoke, I would love for a way to face stoolies in some Chess matches. Maybe there's even some exciting way to bring it into Stool Streams so I don't have to get embarrassed playing Ping Pong (GG Mintz).
I'm happy I got into Chess fairly recently because it's a great game to play as you get older. It's one of those things where the older you get, the more you appreciate Chess. I'm still a bot, but I'm looking to get better every day. Once we get a streaming PC in HQ, I might have to dedicated a few hours a few to grinding some Chess. Tweet me your Elo rank.
If you ever end up diving into the Chess section of Twitch, you'll be amazed with what you see from these Grandmasters (Grandmaster is the highest ranking achievable in Chess and sounds kinda badass). I'm talking these individuals are playing 30 second Chess matches and making moves before your brain can even comprehend what's happening. It's fascinating, there's no other way to describe it.
