[@josuke21]

@@Marumax9 agreed his performance is amazing even at age 52

[@ex0duzz]

52 isn't that old.. Korchnoi played until he passed away at like 80+ and remained competitive till the end. Karpov also played until he was old and still remained damn strong every time he played too. Same as Kasparov. Kasparov could play today and still be competitive IMO, both blitz, rapid, or classical. I remember Kasparov played at St. Louis in blitz and rapid few years ago and did pretty good, he didn't get blown away by the best in the world. I think Kramnik could also play and be strong. And I think ivanchuk, Topalov etc are all stills playing and all are still strong and still are rated. Meaning they still play regularly, just like Anand who is still on top 20 iirc. It's like Anand hasn't even retired yet, since Kramnik and Kasparov lost their ratings ages ago.

Anand is the Modern day Korchnoi, Phenomenal player. When Kasparov said you can't swim in the same river twice The tiger of Chennai proved him otherwise 🙌

[@ex0duzz]

Can't swim in the same river twice? What's that even meant to mean? It sounds dumb and like something a try hard intellectual would come up with on the spot to sound smart but doesn't actually mean anything deep or profound. Better to swim in the lake with the fishes than to swim in the river with the ducks and geese by the shores waiting patiently. See, I can make fake idioms up as well. Lol

It's a well known phrase it's sad you failed to comprehend it.Sometimes a little google search would help out

[@andrujo]

that sentence Agad chose and when thinking about Kasparov's latest games, it kinda shows the difference between their reaction on playing nowadays, because Kasparov seems more ego-driven when he plays, while Anand is like the sentence on Agad's screen.

[@josepandreu7448]

Anand's.figure has been a little shadowed by Carlsen's long reign, but he is a true master of the game and a member of the very select club of world champions. And playing classical chess at this level being over 50…it's unbelievable!

[@rldb]

That knight sacrifice offer was a typical Vishy brilliance!

Anand did play very precise on all of MVL's errors. He played the end of the middle game to the ending like a computer!

Antonio, I would like to say that I'm very thankful for your channel. No other channel even comes close to the depth of analysis, the memey "sorry bout that" and quality and frequency of the production in general. I hope you can keep this up for years to come, regards from a 1600 player desperately trying to be better. Your video's have been extremely helpful ❤️

I just love agadmator's explanations: This tournament has no draws and it's better to win. Even if you draw classical, it's better to win at least armageddon xD

[@keithmatthews1673]

It is fascinating to speculate how Vishy would get on if he were in the Candidates. I'm sure he would not want the hassle but he seems capable of performing at the top level. I think people had assumed that Like Hikaru, he was more of less finished with top competition but it seems that class will prevail!

[@adolfadolph6504]

I see Anand plays a variation inspired by the queen's gambit series just like me. Great minds think alike indeed 🤪
