Our objective was to make the ancient game of chess more popular than people thought it could ever be…
To make it vie with spectator sports for the passion & participation of audiences…
To remind young people that this great game can be every bit as absorbing & exciting as the best video games…
And finally, to bring the phenomenal emotion & experience of being part of a team to the brilliant players of what has traditionally been a lonely sport.
They have to devise collective strategies. Share the pain & pleasure of victories & losses. And leave their egos behind, as Magnus did when he gave his Player of the Match trophy to a teammate.
All of that is visible in these videos, which encapsulate the energy & excitement of the Tech Mahindra Global Chess League, Season 4, which concluded in Bengaluru last evening.
But the image I will carry with me forever is of the teams in their “dugouts,” collectively cheering each other on.
A radically new image of this ancient game.
A huge ‘thank you’ to the players, the franchise owners, the fans, the tournament officials, the commentators, our partners & sponsors, @vishy64theking & Team @GCLlive !
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

For all the times sport makes news for the wrong reasons, love seeing this make headlines. Magnus gets player of the match and hands it to Vidit because he felt Vidit deserved it more. No controversy no drama just a great sporting moment ♟️❤️

GREAT GESTURE BY MAGNUS CARLSEN!
“I do not deserve this Player of the Match trophy as much as the man who won us the match.”
Magnus Carlsen hands his Player of the Match trophy to Vidit Gujrathi. 🥹❤️

Chess on the esports stage hits different 🙌
The most fun title at this year's EWC is actually.. chess.
Not least because of @DavidHowellGM and @TaniaSachdev commentary. Absolute top.

To keep pushing boundaries, so grateful for all the love 🦁♥️
Tania Sachdev is serving as an official expert analyst and commentator for the Sony Sports Network coverage of the 2026 Commonwealth Games. She is doing this alongside well known hockey former Olympiad Viren Rasquinha and sports commentator Siddharth Pandey.
It is so wonderful to see Tania spreading her wings in the commentary domain. She is surely one of the finest commentators when it comes to chess and now she is expanding her repertoire by hosting other sports as well.
Being an Arjuna Awardee, Commonwealth Champion, Asian Champion, Olympiad Gold Medalist - Tania is an amazing asset to the Indian chess community! We are proud of you Tania.

Once the engine shows the best move you can’t unsee it and with everyone having access to it, everyone knows it except the players. And that makes it easy to forget how hard it is OTB. With the clock ticking, nerves, what is likely to be played. This could really show the gap between the best move vs the human move. Would love to see this integrated on broadcasts
Chess engines tell you the best move.
But grandmasters are human, they don’t always play it.
So I built "Kibitz": a human move predictor for chess broadcasts. I trained this model on my Nvidia RTX 5080.
Then I made it run as a business by itself.
A channel buys the overlay, Hermes onboards them, charges via @stripe test mode, runs the broadcast, narrates with @NVIDIAAI Nemotron, tracks inference cost, and books its own P&L.
I build. Hermes operates.
This is my demo and entry for the @NousResearch × @NVIDIAAI × @stripe Hermes Agent Accelerated Business Hackathon.

Congratulations to Mukhiddin Madaminov on incredibly winning the UzChess Cup Masters despite entering as a late replacement for Javokhir Sindarov and being by far the lowest-rated player! 🏆🎉

Salute to @TaniaSachdev and @thelittlehat for such wonderful commentary during @UzchessCup
Classical chess for amateur chess enthusiasts can sometimes feel very long, but such great coverage really keeps one on the edge of their seats

It took 25 min to play the move, we analysed every single option and built on it, the shift on Vidit during that time was visible, felt the moment and did our best to convey that to people watching. For 25 min, with no moves people stayed on. Reacting to a clip without context is really a very odd outside in way of looking at chess broadcasting, but I guess there’s no other way at this point 😅🤷🏻♀️
"Will a top player find the best move" is really a very odd, inside out way of looking at chess, but I guess there is no other way at this point.😅🤷🏼♂️

Makes me so happy! Those 25 minutes had its own rhythm, with all its tension and possibilities and swings and then to slowly realise that something is changing. Being able to bring that to the audience is one of the biggest joys of what we do ❤️
Not a single move was made in this 25+ min think by @viditchess when no other games were running
But @TaniaSachdev & @thelittlehat were amazing... explaining the lines, the stakes & analyzing Vidit's body language as it slowly changed from "no hope" to "woah"
Compelling viewing
