We knew you'd like this one! It's so amazing to see all of your positive feedback on the channel rebrand thus far! We feel there is so much potential with What Next and we have plenty of content like this in the can to show you guys. Thank you to all of you who have watched and subscribed 🙂 – Mike

I love how Hammond still says ''If you've just joined us'' at random intervals as if its a TV programme
-
What a layer this adds to the game! This was great fun!
-
Hammond has a breathtaking technique- explaining every bit of thought process out loud to your opponent. 😅
-
Amazing how civil they are when it's just two of them together. Throw a third one in and all he'll breaks loose.
-
I would watch a whole series of May and Hammond playing different games. Monopoly next?

"You are thinking about it, which I'd say technically is cheating!" -- Richard Hammond, while playing chess
-
I just love that they're calling them "prawns." I didn't realize that those little pieces were crustaceans lol.
-
i love how Richard getting slightly drunker after every drink is actually visible
-
Trust me Hammond, after your fourth shot no one had any doubts that it was real gin.
-
Just what i needed. One hour of James and Hammond bickering. One hour to forget all the other bullcrap on this planet. Thank you.
-
10:10 "Message from the crew, mobilize a bit more." Hammond and May proceed their 1 hour game of chess.
-
I put the game through Stockfish, and the analysis bar had a seizure in the first five moves alone. Great content, even greater for people who play chess.
-
James: "explains one move ahead" Richard: "This is a level of thinking I can't fathom"
-
Imagine telling James and Richard 20 years ago, on Top Gear--a car show, mind you--that 20 years later they'd be playing chess while drinking and that hundreds of thousands of people would still be watching them.
-
I love how Hammond has to vocalize every single thought in his brain 🤣
-
I love that half the game is them making moves that don't particularly do anything followed by the other saying "oh that was genius".
-
I don't know why Hammond was convinced that we'd think they were using water instead of gin. I'd be much more likely to believe that he was pretending to drink a glass of water which was really gin.
-
This must be the world record for the longest gin commercial ever.

James surveying the room about whether Richard had already been wearing glasses and coming to no conclusion was magical (23:46)
