The infamous Andrew Tate vs. Piers Morgan chess showdown
Half sports recap, half comedy roast.
It was the chess match nobody asked for but everyone watched—like a reality TV car crash in slow motion. On one side, Andrew Tate, former kickboxing champion and self-proclaimed “Top G.” On the other, Piers Morgan, professional provoker and king of the raised eyebrow.
The setting? Piers Morgan Uncensored. The stakes? Pride.
The time control? Five-minute blitz—meaning neither had much time to think, but then again, thinking was optional.
See by yourself..
The Opening: When Theory Met Confusion
Tate began confidently, his body language screaming alpha. Morgan sat across with that “I’m about to destroy you” smirk.
The first few moves were… well, moves. No one’s calling it “The Immortal Game,” unless it’s immortalized in meme form. Morgan’s pieces shuffled like a man looking for the bathroom in the dark, while Tate’s played like they had a private jet to catch.
The Midgame: Tate Turns on Beast Mode
Somewhere around move eight, Morgan decided his queen had had enough and sent her straight into enemy territory—where she was promptly executed. Tate, smelling blood, moved in for the kill with the subtlety of a flying knee to the face.
At one point, Chess.com’s analysis engine rated Tate’s play at a blistering 2748 Elo. Morgan? Around 1729, which is generous considering most of his “attack” was unintentional.
The Finish: Checkmate and Check, Please
In under five minutes, it was over. Tate declared victory with the same swagger he uses to advertise Bugattis. Morgan conceded graciously—or as graciously as a man who just got speed-run on his own show could manage.
Why This Match Was Internet Gold
- Trash Talk Potential – Twitter/X erupted with “Top G destroys Piers” posts, while Morgan’s critics had a field day.
- Chess as Combat – For Tate fans, it was proof he could win in any arena. For Morgan fans… well, at least he showed up.
- Meme Heaven – Every screenshot of Morgan’s “dumbfounded” face is still making the rounds.
The Final Verdict
Was it grandmaster-level chess? No.
Was it quality entertainment? Absolutely.
Tate walked away with bragging rights. Morgan walked away with enough material for a week’s worth of self-deprecating banter. And the rest of us? We got a match that belongs in the YouTube Hall of Fame for Overhyped, Underplayed Sports Events.
Moral of the story: In five-minute blitz, you either checkmate fast… or get checkmated faster.
If you want, I can also embed a play-by-play move list with funny commentary so the blog post feels like a sports broadcast of the match. That would crank the entertainment up a notch.
