Chess players in tv commercials?

Question

There are a lot of tv commercials featuring football players, cricket players, etc. How about chess players? Two commercials come to mind.

Are there more like this? Recent chessable and chess.com commercials don't count, since I doubt they appeared on tv.

I really don't get why you got a down-vote for that question. I find that very interesting and the two examples are pretty funny. — Christian, May 11 '23 at 06:33
Then there shouldn't be that 'famous-players' tag you used if you are only only ever allowed to ask strictly game related questions. — Christian, May 11 '23 at 06:37
Well, "big-list" obviously. Even if it is small, it's a big list ;-) Anyway: Carlsen, also obviously. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9h4HuUEGB-g Also, google "chess commercials compilation" on Youtube. — Hauke Reddmann, May 11 '23 at 06:54
Carlsen, Clothing industry. Kasparov, Schweppes. Certainly Agdestein, but not as a chess player. Probably Anand, Kasimdjanov, Karpov ? — Evargalo, May 11 '23 at 08:21
He appeared on fashion magazines covers recently, don't know if there is a video commercial but as cover head yes — Nicolas Formichella, May 11 '23 at 10:20
