‘Supreme Leader’ Samay Raina returned to YouTube this weekend after a long, self-imposed exile to announce the eighth edition of his popular online chess tournament Comedians On Board (COB). The comedian had taken a two-year break from the online world to focus on standup comedy, touring extensively with his show Unfiltered. He returned with a bang on Sunday’s stream—titled Just Chilling—with the announcement that Comedians On Board will return for its first edition in almost two years.
COB: Homecoming will be streamed on Raina’s YouTube channel from 27-29 March, and will feature regular contestants Anirban Dasgupta, Biswa Kalyan Rath, Joel D’Souza, Sumit Sourav, Vaibhav Sethia and Vivek Desai. There’s also a special contestant of Shah’s choosing: Tracy Viegas, the wife of Kenny Sebastian. Viegas has a strong rating of 1800 in the Blitz format, which means an out-of-practice Raina faces an uphill battle.
Raina and Viegas went head-to-head in a quick 10-minute game last night and the latter came out on top. Raina’s going to have to put in a lot of work to back up his trash talk. Who are you betting on to take the title home?
