Three dimensional Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant ?1/?2 deformed by a gravitational Chern-Simons action with coefficient 1/? is studied in an asymptotically AdS3 spacetime. It is argued to violate unitary or positivity for generic ? due to negative-energy massive gravitons. However at the critical value ?? = 1, the massive gravitons disappear and BTZ black holes all have mass and angular momentum related by ?M = J. The corresponding chiral quantum theory of gravity is conjectured to exist and be dual to a purely right-moving boundary CFT with central charges (cL,?cR) = (0,?3?/G).
