Thanks for having my guys! Was a huge pleasure. Happy New Year and crush the goals this year! 😎
Great interview!
Thank you for sharing your struggles with suicide and for not giving up, hopefully you're talking to someone. You're not alone, a lot of service members face the same struggles and many who did not serve do as well. Keep doing what brings positivity into your life.
@@PFZ thanks my guy! 💪🏾🥶
You , Levy and Danny were great on the Chess Champions tour in Toronto. Best production quality I've ever seen in chess.
@@JerkyJones100 💪🏾🥶♟️
Canty has a 10/10 energy, his collabs with chessbrahs are FANTASTIC
🔥🔥🔥
Canty needs to stay away from chessbrah
Very cool to hear about Canty as a kid. Not surprised he was friends with all different groups in high school, because he is that guy in the chess world. Everyone likes Canty, hes the man!
💪🏾🥶💯
I like Canty, he's a breath of fresh air and full of positive energy!
💪🏾🥶♟️
Canty is the man glad you had him on
💪🏾🥶
I love how he hypes up everyone around him, such a fun and generous guy!
Yeahhhhh 🔥🔥🔥
Stoked for this one. Love Canty’s energy
James Canty is wonderful.
You are too!

epic interview, great to see into Canty's winning mindset. Gym stream with fabi when?😅
💪🏾🥶
The Big Fella! Lets goooo. Actually I turned on ESPN (around 1995-1996) as a kid who hadn't been exposed too much to chess and they were showing the PCA blitz chess with Kasparov, Anand, etc and Maurice Ashley and Danny King were giving great commentary. That was really my first exposure to THE BIG CHESS WORLD. Canty does a great job bringing people to love the game. I have loved it even more from tuning into his awesome Twitch stream. We love the COE stuff, its high quality apparel that lasts for a long time.
Let’s goooo! Thanks my guy!
I've seen Canty around instagram, and youTube shorts, but never heard his story. This is great to see. Great personality.
Canty is a dream guest
💪🏾🥶
How is it possible for Fabi and Cristian to be so talented at chess and so talented at being podcast hosts?
It's here! So hyped for this one 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
Really cool episode. It was so natural and real. Y’all are doing great here. Keep up the good work!!
🔥🔥🔥
Dream come true, my three favorite chess streamers together, Christian, Fabi and JCIII, let’s go! F5 and we live!!!
🔥🔥🥶
Excellent podcast episode! @JamesCantyIII is a monumental inspiration, not many people can say they escaped Detroit during the deindustrialization era.
Much respect! Long live King Fabi! lol

Loving Canty’s energy and his stories/storytelling

Excellent interview. I have been wanting to hear more about this guy.
💪🏾🔥🥶
Motivational and inspirational life applications. Intriguing back-stories on how their divergent paths crossed years ago. Merch everywhere! Can we get that trio flex again. Epic!
🔥🔥🔥
Awesome 👍🔥
One of my favourite color commentary/host
He is the coolest chess player in the world
A great human

James has the best attitude ever. Great interview.
Adoro a energia do Canty!!!

Canty is my inspiration hes the best
We vibing decribes the podcast good. Fun guests❤
30:36 the level of skill and mastery is on full display. Just following along in their brains.
Jc III is awesome!
I have to hand it to James for some of his opening tutorials on youtube. The one he did on the lion philidor was very handy to me.
This is so awesome. Great job son.❤
WOW, what a wonderfully balanced interview. This one has no dull moment. I recommend doing your bathroom ritual before watching, cuz its non-stop to the end!
🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥
GOATED episode
🥶🥶🥶
I love cantys streams ❤
Glad you interviewed him, I never liked him till this interview, nice guy
42:57 Press "F" to doubt.

You know you've got a chess problem when you're a kid and you choose to stay at the chess club instead of sneaking into the mall.
I love to watch classical!
C-squared just turned to C-cubed
One of the best episodes to date. This man is a net positive to the chess world... or just the world. Period.
🔥🔥🔥🥶🥶🥶
Can the csqpod explain the new rating system and other things released by FIDE? It will be interesting to hear what changes will this bring to the chess world
I like James Canty, he has a positive mindset. We need more people like him and not victim mindset in todays society! If you work hard you can accomplish more than you imagined.
💪🏾🔥🥶
spreading
James Canty shilling for the MLM industry! What a time to be alive!
🤣
313 in the building!
Fabi can do the brain-flex
When is MVL
💪🏻💪🏻
Great interview. Love ya, James. One thing I disagree on. I don’t like sponsor logos. For me, turning players into human billboards is lame and tacky. I’d rather they look sharp and be cool. 😎 but maybe that’s just me
🔥🔥🔥
Always loved your commentary but knew nothing about your story. Go GM!
I love watching this guy
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Work harder! Flexin!!!
c² + Fabi is like the thinking man's Gotham + Hikaru.
COE BABY!!!!!
COE!
Fabi flexing😂😂😂
C-cubed! Yes!!!
I subscribed because Canty said so. :) Lol
Yeahhhhhhh 🔥🔥🔥
Fabi… Christian… I love y’all but you gotta get my man a clip on mic 😂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
seriously would it kill fabi to do a push up once and while
Fabi been hitting the gym lately though I saw his trainer post him on Instagram so watch out! 💪🏾
Gzzzzm canty
canty on c²? SEND ME THE CLIP!
James can act as much gangsta as he likes but he is nerd af and nobody can deny that😂
You can catch these hands anytime anyday. 🤷🏾♂️
Hes more gangsta than youll ever be bud. we have a phrase we love to say, SHOUT OUT TO THE HATERS, so big shoutout to you dog, we appreciate it
@@ryanavt5648🥶🥶🥶 HEUH
I think one of the reasons for five is 70 run at the 2014 Sinkfield cup, is that people did not yet realize how good he was. Now he’s always a heavy favorite, and everyone is looking to him. It was not the case in 2014. Everybody had eyes on Magnus tknwin
313🎉
Can’t he?
Guys can someone educate me pls . Are black chess players strong ? Or race doesn’t matter ? Ty
💀
Fabian was so quiet this episode. Christian and James have a bit more aggressive, masculine energy, maybe he didn't feel completely comfortable. Shame. Next one fabi! Love to see and hear you
So Fabi is effeminate or what?
@@thernlyyes
Lol that screech dis on Instagram don't do that D.D RIP but he can't hold a candle to Fabi
did he finally change his name from gmcanty since he's not a gm?
Nope! Keeping it til I hit my goal like Minh le did, Gauri has his still, and Andrew Tang before he got his had the same, but you a hater and make this comment cuz I’m black. Get off my meat.
When I read failure I thought he train till failure that's why he is so massive and masculire .
Strongest chess master yes/no?
No
Bring Sagar Shah
Fabi has nothing to flex 💪
I can say with 100% certainty, if you have to keep repeating "I was the cool guy in highschool" you were not the cool guy in highschool 😂
You were definitely not the cool guy. I grew up in Detroit Michigan, and you was obviously not there. Sound like one of them haters. I’m very well known. Speak for yourself little buddy.
@JamesCantyIII You are 100% correct, my guy. I was not blessed with the cool guy genes 😂 it's okay though because I'm not good at chess either lol
@@tonyfortune346 so you actually are a cool guy. Usually weirdos be hating talkin crazy expecting me not to respond. I want all the smoke. Now that I see you are I put my fist down 🤣 - keep training my guy chess is game of work. 50 puzzles a day at least.
@@JamesCantyIIII was just joking bro lol. I'm listening to a podcast with you on it so you gotta be cool lol. I don't listen to lames lol. Salute bro. I should've made the joke more clear
@@JamesCantyIII 😂😂 I want no smoke my guy. Not even a little bit
The greatest misconception is that you can become a Grandmaster if you have the desire with study and hard work. Simply not true.
True but I think that those will bring you to at least the master level (NM,CM)
Fun with the game is by far the biggest thing over hard work and talent
Are you a GM?
@@EulersBasement NM
@@EulersBasement Nobody needs to be a GM in order to assess that. If you know the game of chess decently well then you can assess that its relatable to pretty much every other field. Its enough to be GM level at Sports or games or some work or whatever.
I love mr 'I have ALL chessable courses'- yet I'm still only a FM.
Makes you wonder.
He’s still pretty strong though. I think you’ve seen him play against Fabi, right?
Only?
After having watched some of it, I’ve got to say he started really late. Maybe he’ll be a GM someday.
can you beat canty? didnt think so
He will guide your soul to the afterlife on the chessboard
If the courses he promotes are so damn good why he still a FM?
why does this guy call himself GM when he's giving people advice and commentary on chess and he's clearly not a GM? I noticed you only called him by his name in the title but on twitch/insta/twitter he goes by GMCanty which is misleading and kind of silly
Several chess steamers set their usernames as GM when they started. They wanted to lock in the name so that nobody else would take it, and they also use it as motivation. Some have gone on to become GMs and some are working on it.
If Super GMs don't have a problem with it, I doubt us 1200 plebs should take offence.
Minor criticism, but is it so hard to get a mic stand for the guest? Looks really unprofessional.
Canty is a cool guy but the fixation he has on his and other's physique is cringe.
No diversity
Abdusatarov? No, this is James Canty
do you have something better to do with your time
