How can someone make a living playing chess?

Kind of tired of my job and just want to play chess all day 😂😂

I have seen chess tournaments on television. I think it was ESPN, however, those are the best of the best. I would look online for a chess player ranking list. It will be similar to top basketball teams ranking. There is an official organization for chess players.

Well, I don't know how much of a professional circuit still exists, but odds are there's SOMETHING. You'd probably improve your odds if you did Go as well; I'd imagine that has a bigger backing, at least in China and culturally Chinese-adjacent places.

That takes some brains.
