Good job, FIDE crew. Leveling up your promo game significantly, although still a long way to go

[deepp]

India is participating guys, checkout description ❤

[sshreedharan]

why is everyone freaking out theres no indians by a PROMO CHILL GUYS

[ostapbender]

Dear FIDE, an idea for future events: It would be amazing if you could do one commented stream for the women's tournament only. There are so many different streams available, in many different languages, but 95% of the coverage focusses on the Open. Thanks!

Why are so many kids crying in comment section. Just enjoy the game and move on.

[deepaksahu]

Fide views and comments without india is so empty

[SriRam-oihs]

Arjun US visa held up. Please update news here is you find out anything.

[Mister_Underhill]

The undisputed best of all times will probably win another couple of world championships unless Alireza does something special. Can't wait to watch the most exciting chess event of the year

[KnightToRemember]

Why do these always last less than a minute?

[destinys_child]

Just wait how Erigaisi will dismantle the field

[mayankagarwal]

Isnt there Arjun Erigiasi or some fishy fishing against him

[mansisick]

We need new promo with Indian player ❤

[silent_assassin_]

World Rapid & Blitz Promo has just Fabiano in thumbnail with his name 😓.
I mean its working because people want to watch Fabi but FIDE can get someone to design better World Championship worthy thumbnail!

[Shanky]

thanks for that description and recognizing India's contribution in Chess

[renishisrael]

No indians in top 10 World Rapid & Blitz. Don't know why they HAVE to be in the promo, after reading some comments...

[light_one]

Hope Gukesh shows his excellence in this time format as well so we could say that he would have done well if it were about to be in tiebreaks.

[rooklift]

Magnus is not going to win World Rapid 2024 .. this time.. My prediction

[pj-guwgY]

😂worst and cheap budget promo. No marketing knowledge. No knowledge of trend😂.
