A thumbnail steals the show from 'Levy Plays Perfect Chess.'

Nine uploads went up on GothamChess's official third channel, and the most watched of them drew a comment section talking about the picture more than the games.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Levy Plays Perfect Chess.

"Levy Plays Perfect Chess." went up on September 30, and a week later it is the most watched of the nine uploads on Gotham Games, closing in on 165,000 views. Gotham Games is the official third channel of Levy Rozman, the chess teacher and streamer known as GothamChess, and it posts his full games. Its about page swears it really is official.

The chess itself is barely mentioned in the comments. The thumbnail is. The most liked comment says whoever made it deserves a raise, others call it one of the strangest he has made, and at least one viewer admits clicking only to read everyone's reactions to it.

The newest uploads are the ones with momentum now. "Levy's First Time." passed 68,000 views in under a day and a half, and "GM. Goodbye." started almost as fast a day later. Across the whole channel, though, the week ran right at its usual pace, with about a thousand new subscribers.

Among chess, poker and card game channels close to its size, the poker channels Greg Goes All In and Brantzen Poker drew the biggest crowds, even on slower weeks than usual. Gotham Games came next, well ahead of its sibling, Gotham Clips.
