Taking on the World's Best Chess Players for $50,000 | Agadmator Arena

In this video, I compete in one of the richest online tournaments ever -- the Agadmator CakeDeFi Christmas Arena. The Prize fund featured $58,000 prize fund with first place receiving 1 bitcoin. The event attracted some of the world's best players including Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru Nakamura, and Alireza Firouzja. Thank you to ‪@agadmator‬ for hosting a tournament so amazing, it crashed lichess.org.
