This hits different after gukesh won the candidates

[@youwasheddishesright4925]

Indian chess speaks for itself

[@AIex_Kidd]

Definitely India HANS lots of chances to become a superpower!

[@Dev_712]

7:57 India has 84 grandmasters at present. Vaishali was the 84th GM

[@luisdelafuente]

Not exactly. Vaishali is just GM-elect. She has the norms but still needs to reach 2500 elo.

[@astlinj]

@@luisdelafuente she already reached that. they are waiting for the fide committee to gather and give the Gm title. usually, they gather twice in a year only.

[@mountains_beaches98]

@@luisdelafuenteshe’s a GM, stop spreading BS.

[@imgnryvansh]

She defeated 3 GM's back to back recently idc if she doesn't have the title, but she is

[@mathildewesendonck7225]

@@mountains_beaches98yesterday in the candidate’s they said she hasn’t been awarded the title yet!

[@bushanmehra9885]

No country has produced so many Grand Master in last 20 years as India did,so proud of it,amd all credit goes to the one and only Vishy Anand ji,thanks Vishy ji.

[@ishanvyas1990]

A mamoth named Vishy Anand... the amazing lieutenants in Vidit, Surya, Adhiban, Humpy, Haarika, Tania... the young brigade of Gukesh, Pragg, Arjun, Vaishali, Divya... the releantless Sagar l, Amruta and their ChessBase India.. and ofcourse, the most important joker-of-the-pack (with all due respect) the Supreme Leader and BM Samay Raina... that's chess for India❤

[@denislejeune9218]

Gukesh is the lead as of today in the Candidates. Tonight's last round is gonna be spectacular.

[@bushanmehra9885]

i AM PRAYING FOR GUKESH,

[@SK-vw8qt]

now an indian gukesh has become the youngest candidates winner and challenger to the world title

[@ADliver4430]

I don't understand why the video don't even talk about Vishy's Academy and don't focuss enough on Vishy's role concretely in this new rising generation. As a moroccan big fan of Chess, I know I'm not the main public to this video, and I find the angle and the doc very cool but it's just for me a key important fact that should have been stated. Anyway, it's a great doc

[@neueraeightyeight8019]

11:37 he didn't become the youngest international GM, but the youngest IM in History. Also, Magnus Carlsen isn't the current world champion (and wasn't in 2024)

[@artetvdocumentary]

Thank you for flagging this up, we have forwarded your comments to our editorial team.

[@siddharthb2633]

@@artetvdocumentary He doesn't hold the youngest IM record anymore. Abhimanyu Mishra is the youngest ever IM.

[@nemeczek67]

@@artetvdocumentary Carlsen IS the World Champion. Although he is not WC in classical chess, he is WC in both blitz and rapid. And the video shows him during the blitz WC tournament, so the comment was accurate.

[@Amir-ym4qc]

anyway i could reach out to the girls parents since my parents stay in kerala , im thinking about supporting them with travel costs or any other way. Please let me know

[@MagicSmoke11]

Great thought and thanks a lot bro❤ Appreciate ur genuity

[@pushingyourownagenda9889]

thats awesome, God bless you man Long live KING

[@kjohn5224]

Same. I'm in a position to be able to financially support atleast some of the travel. Would be good to have their contact information.

[@akshaythomaskallayil7889]

Reach out to Kayamkulam panchayat Administration

[@raunak7461]

God bless you 🙏

[@johnbeans2000]

Pretty cool the game returns to its home.

[@akitatakoyaki]

Gukesh will be world champion 2024

[@ArtBaari]

Thanks lot

[@missbond7345]

Not possible without Vishy Anand! That’s why a lot of rising chase base in the south especially around Chennai. Anand inspired an entire generation !

[@Xikz91]

Very nice!

[@prince_zko]

Taking congrats from Vishy in front of your family... the kind of pressure that makes me blunder two queens xD

[@Anee988]

Does anyone else think Gukesh didnt get the attention he deserved until he won the camdidates because all the spotlight was on Pragg?

[@Hypocritial]

Agree

[@DeepakDhabhai]

Because prag played the final of a bigger tournament against a much famous opponent

[@pratikpatil6342]

Vishy...the Legend

[@mallem1755]

Gukesh might do it!

[@goandroidtech2105]

She would be a Women World Champion one day 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@-virusx9667]

And now Gukesh won the Candidates 2024 and will play for the World Championship

[@diadon5674]

I mean it was invented in india so makes sense

[@samarthbagwe1736]

Gukesh just won the candidates

[@Hypocritial]

Bhaarata is rising again after a terrible millennium. This is just the beginning

[@curiouscat9]

Stopped watching at "Janaki". Seriously how hard is it for these Western firangis to learn how to pronounce names correctly? You don't pronounce Schwarzenegger as shwan ka nikkar, do you?

[@user-sn2iw7rx9y]

how can we get in touch with Theerthas parents to support her development?
