Hey Levy, I was at the event and it was a blast! My friend played in the open, and the venue in North Richland Hills, near Fort Worth, TX, was perfect for the tournament. The GM matches were freakin' awesome! The seating behind the GMs wasn’t great for spectating, so most of us found better views on the sides. Sadly, it looked like less attendees were there. I had an awesome spot to watch the Chess Base India commentary, and you were hilarious! "What in the world is going on with this stream? WHY AM I SO BIG ON THE SCREEN!?!?" 😂 Shoutout to CBI for the great commentary! Vidit was the nicest guy you'd ever meet! Hans was intense after that 10-move loss but kept fighting back. It felt like a chess MMA match! Since it was in like a recreation center, we even had hockey and roller derby players checking out the games. They seemed pretty interested, and maybe this type of event can bring chess to an entirely new group of people. For a first-year event, it was super impressive. The stream definitely had its moments and the setup wasn’t perfect, but it was the most organized tournament I've been to. I’m sure next year will be even better with more marketing and polish. Can't wait! I think it would be awesome to have you join next year! Cheers!

[@smnrch7279]

@smnrch7279 man, it was such a fun event! My buddy and I entered the blitz tournament the first night after classical games were played (which he was in that tournament too). Got home at 3 am, them went back for another classical match for my friend, after the GM matches, got home at 2am, then up for the last 2 classical matches on the last day. Stayed out there after until around 10pm that day and got back home around 12am. It was worth every minute of lack of sleep!

[@DeepfriedBeans4492]

Tons of recently created games have invitationals too, this is certainly not an “outdated concept”. If you want to watch super gms play lower rated players watch titled Tuesday or something. But I also want to see competitive matches between the best. And in a sense many tournaments are open, in that they have an open side which winning gets you a seat in the next invitational, and many of these can earn you a spot in the candidates. So if you have the skill you absolutely can rise to the inner circle. It’s not some arbitrarily set “in” group, it’s just really hard to be one of the top 10 or so players in the world. People rise into and out of it all the time despite the best players largely playing in closed tournaments. And of course the issue with Elo itself where it’s incredibly easy for super gms to lose tons of rating from lower rated players because if the drawish nature of chess. As for Nieman specifically, believe it or not cheating has consequences. That’s true for any sport.

Hey! I was at this tournament, and got first in the U1200 section! As Levy said, the event and tournament was quite strange. There were problems and miscommunications in virtually every aspect of the tournament, but it was still great to be at! There was more going on than just the match between Vidit and Hans, too. They had a press conference (which unfortunately couldn't be heard by anybody in the audience) between the the two, there was a scholastic tournament, and a blitz side event. Plus, Boston Mike was around streaming and playing games against people. It was kind of funny watching these sports stars all playing chess in the sports center. Because the event wasn't communicated very well, there were a bunch of people at the center for other reasons (roller derby, ice hockey, etc.) who definitely knew the celebrities better than the chess players, but had no idea that they were right there! I'm definitely looking forward to future Universal Chess Tour tournaments, especially if they learn and improve from the mistakes made during this tournament.

This was an absolutely cracking event in every way.

This was way better than the clash of claims. Far and above, and personally I'd love to see many more like this. I'm not a Hans fan but he and Vidit handled this super well and made many new fans. Hans' interview afterwards was excellent also. You are being too harsh - and have been for a while now on Hans. Understandably - but this video doesn't come off well. Down to the thumbnail and the red eyes. Please, it's time to move on. He may be divisive but events like this are doing chess a world of good.
