Hey guys - so we have entered a new era of our Skool and Youtube community. Unfortunately - Youtube is confirmed to be ruined, there will be no new videos uploaded. (Only old reuploads) If you want to watch new original TopChess content created by original Top Chess creators - check out our new channel DEEP CHESS - https://www.youtube.com/@DeepChess1 I don't have that much time on my hands right now - so I'm happy to take suggestions from you guys as to what you would like to see over here, who would like to help out as a mod, and we can make this place whatever we like. Also the new channel won't have weekly uploads but we will try our best. Any partnerships - feel free to contact me in DM's To help more people find Deep Chess - it would be good to comment on TopChess videos that will be reuploaded by Joey and let people know new original content will be published on Deep Chess. The more of us help in the comment section, the bigger chance more people come over there Thanks guys and I'm looking forward to seeing what you all have planned up!

Please someone tag everyone we know. August 2025: During the small drama about discussing about whether TCG should have chess non related posts, Thomas sold TopChess to JoeyPowers. JP banned 20+ innocent people including the OGs(including me) and set up rules that made many people dissatisfied as well as making the community $10/m It started a war of we ogs fighting for information, stopping JP from destroying more and tried to get people to AL(the safe haven that time). Since that time, TopChessGang became so dry and only have so few posts without ogs. Like dead chat. September 2025: We discovered a huge quality drop for TopChess S2#46 with different editings, sounds and so on. And we discovered that Mr.Dsb has left TopChess team (original creator of TopChess who help editing work and screenplay work, also acting work as he's the hacker mask guy in S1 ep100& 130) We have found that Mr Dsb has been disrespected and he left the group, resulting in some financial problems despite he created the DeepChess channel with the original lore (the ad bishop x ultimate pawn one, the REAL lore). Meanwhile TopChess is having a fake lore about clock and some random ahh knowledge stones&old gods that appear out of nowhere, completely ignored the fact that chess universe is human made, simulation. DeepChess has been posting very few videos and we fans have to wait for a long time for a video because of financial problems from Mr Dsb Late 2025- 2026: As time has been running, TopChess Gang has changed into TopChess Community, and had a lot of changes about the rules and the price for participating and TopChess Army's promotion. About the channel, it has been found using some old videos to milk content, overall losing quality, views and respect but NOT MANY FANS KNOW THE TRUTH like us so I feel so bad for Mr Dsb and the TopChess Team. Resulted in 2 channels(TopChess and DeepChess) both losing contents and viewers. But, due to the help of Tap Gamer, most of the banned ones (ogs) are finally unbanned and we became part of TopChess again but we were not active because we were tired of dramas and prefer having some comfort zone first.

Hello guys, this is one big update for the group and for the channel and it can go two ways. As you all know Top Chess got sold to a new owner a couple of months ago, and he made a bunch of mistakes and I think all of you are aware of how much I tried to fix everything. Today the new owner declared that he doesn't have the money to keep going and didn't pay out salaries to TopChess video editors and to me, so we are all in a tough situation right now. With this he also disconnected all of payments an owner has to do so this is why the skool community became archived for a bit. I paid to skool now out of my own pocket to re-activate the group for 1 month. So right now I'm the owner of Top Chess Community but we still don't have Top Chess Education and most importantly the channel itself. If he decides that he doesn't want to give us the channel unfortunately this will be the end of Top Chess. On the other hand if he gives us the channel we (Myself and video editors) will be able to work for ourselves thus putting it more time and effort than ever and it might be a blooming for Top Chess. So the only thing you guys can do right now is maybe comment on his post to explain to him that we all want to see topchess stay alive and to give it to us (The people who do all the work) to keep it running for the community. Thanks all and love you all, I will try my best to keep this alive <3

Find the move for white!
