Anand has produced lots of brilliant games but not very much in his list.

[@dayasanal4638]

This game is gonna remain in my mind for quite a long time.... Perfection.... And nothing less

[@ex0duzz]

Beautiful game! I would have resigned long before Leko did. haha. Haven't seen such a wild game with 2 minor pieces in a row offered and left enprise and then forcing the opponent to accept by bringing a THIRD minor piece in.. the threats were too much for them to be left as they were after that. Really one of Anand's most entertaining games and and instant favourite for me, even if it was a rapid. Maybe even more so because it was, Anands still a beast at rapid.

[@dhananjaymalhotra7854]

What an analytical mind chess players have! I am sure this is achieved after years of sincere hard work and dedication. You are too quick, man. Although, I myself am a beginner to Chess and trying to gain proficiency in it. Therefore, your speed of analysing the game appears to be mind boggling to me.

[@mightyquinn5135]

I agree about promoting brilliancy. Way to many players just grind out engine moves to get a pawn advantage for the end game

[@bhaskarsoni6060]

9:07 what a thought process of vishy sir by not moving pawn

[@anujmehta8979]

I'm curious, has commentating over chess games helped your chess? I figured it might've given you insight to new ideas you may not have thought of before. Just a thought

[@flipperzero9662]

Anuj Mehta of course it does. The final step of mastery in anything is to teach. It further enhances your understanding and reinforces everything you know.

[@socratease4645]

Anuj Mehta close attention on anything helps. Having to distill thoughts to be understand by many helps

[@hxduck]

Alex Mccleary always thought the saying was “Those that can’t do... Teach.”.

[@damianmonaghan3205]

hxduck thats not true. Often times its just the ones who want to teach to people to make more people in the field they were interested in. I teach to develop the minds of those below me so I have more peers with which to compare ideas.

I saw one video in my recommendations last night and have watched about 10 videos since. I haven't played chess for years and at that, I've played about 8 games in my entire life. So why am I watching these videos? I think it's so satisfying to watch these pro games, with excellent commentary, because it makes you feel powerful! As you are explaining the moves, I feel as if it's exactly what I would have done! (Though the reality is I'd do something much stupider). Great videos and concept for a KZbin channel. Very entertaining!

I could not believe my eyes. This was simply spectacular! I am very happy for Vishy- the Jagr of the chess world it seems! (Korchnoi being the Gordy howe of course) He is so humble and seems like a very thoughtful person in his interviews. Seeing him win this I think was great for the chess world. Though I am still very disappointed that so many great players took place in the tournament- when it would have been a great time for professional players to stand against corruption in FIDE and to frown heavily upon human rights disasters in Saudi.... But we are all very lucky to see such amazing games nonetheless.
