Gotham Talks at Google

The title of the post for this month's featured video echoes the title of a previous featured video, Kasparov Talks at Google (June 2017). There I noted,
As for 'Talks at Google', I featured another episode a few years back in a Video Friday post titled Computer Chess 'Comedy' (July 2013), about the movie 'Computer Chess'.

Early in the clip the moderator says, 'Our guest is returning to Google today to discuss his new book...'. I couldn't locate the previous talk; maybe some helpful blog visitor can show the way.


Levy Rozman | GothamChess: The Internet's Chess Teacher | Talks at Google (57:03) • '[Published on] Jun 19, 2024'

The description starts,

The creator behind the most subscribed-to chess channel on YouTube, Levy Rozman aka GothamChess, discusses his New York Times bestseller “How to Win at Chess: The Ultimate Guide for Beginners and Beyond.” Brimming with practical and easy-to-follow tips for improving your game, the book includes over 500 instructional gameplay illustrations to help you better visualize the board.

It continues,

Levy Rozman, more popularly known as GothamChess, is an online chess streamer who earned the International Master title in 2018. A former scholastic chess coach, he is passionate about chess accessibility, and has donated $100,000 in scholarship funds for chess programs in education. He currently boasts the biggest chess channel on YouTube, where he focuses on creating fun and educational content. His channel has nearly 5M subscribers and 85M total monthly views. This phenomenal growth aided in Levy's transition from making straightforward tactics videos in his apartment to running live commentary at chess and chess-boxing events. • Moderated by Brandon Li.

All of IM Rozman's mentions on this blog have been related to a YouTube video. For the previous mention, see Gotham Gets Gaga (July 2023).
