Strand one
Great games in 3D
The immortals and the modern classics, performed move by move on the cathedral board — so you can see the idea, not just read it.
The channel
youtube.com/@vibechess3d
Chess, made to be watched.
Films and Shorts about great games, fierce tactics and the strange stories chess keeps — played out on the same cathedral board you play on. Sit down, watch a game come alive, then go and play it yourself.
Three ways the board comes alive.
Strand two
Tactical films
One position, one brutal idea, taken apart until it becomes yours.
Strand three
Strange stories from chess
Gold coins thrown at a board. A king walked up the board to deliver mate. A game abandoned rather than played out. Chess keeps stranger stories than it admits.

The channel is built for players. If a game, a position or a story should be filmed, say so in the Journal — that is where we read you.
