Following a successful European tour in the spring of 2025, with mostly sold-out shows, international creator Levy Rozman, better known as GothamChess, will embark on another live tour in the fall of 2026.

Tickets will be available starting Wednesday, April 22th 2026.

The live show with GothamChess is aimed not only at seasoned chess connoisseurs and experts, but at all chess enthusiasts. On his European tour, he shares strategic know-how in an entertaining and informative way. The audience can look forward to interviews and exciting guessing games, such as the popular “Guess the ELO” format.

Fans can watch live as Levy Rozman takes on multiple players, including celebrity guests, simultaneously in blitz chess. The chess star will comment on and analyze the moves, providing deep insights into the infinitely diverse world of chess. In addition to attending the live show, VIP tickets for exclusive meet-and-greets and photo-op with GothamChess can also be purchased.

Looking forward to the upcoming events, GothamChess says: “Following last year’s very exciting and inspiring first European tour, I’m thrilled that we’ll be bringing even more chess and entertainment to new regions.”

Chess.com, the world’s largest chess platform, is presenting the tour, and Chief Chess Officer Danny Rensch says enthusiastically: “No one does it like Levy! The first GothamChess Tour was a huge success, and I’ve seen firsthand how Levy has revolutionized the chess world once again—by showing people what live chess entertainment can look like. I’m thrilled that Chess.com is hosting the 2026 tour, and like all his fans, I hope I’ll be lucky enough to see him in person again!”
