Everything you wanted to know about the FIDE Candidates 2024

[@SayantanSaha-qc4vq]

I thought that I'll fix my sleep schedule but after hearing about the match timings I think that will not be the case

[@shoryaprakash8945]

😂

[@SayantanSaha-qc4vq]

@nunnumemer Indeed it was

[@ashokdesai2663]

Dear Sagar. You are contributing excellently in the growth of chess, in the whole world, especially, in our country Bharat. Marvelous. You are the first Indian, who is doing this kind of work. You are creative and passionate about your work. Keep it up. All the best.

[@chesstime_0720]

Timings of the tournament are discussed at 09:03. The match starts from 12 am IST.

[@Randomthings1210]

Really excited for candidates.. and given that you are travelling to Canada, it will be a treat for us Indian fans. Bummed with the timings though 🙃

[@Rana_G4u]

Its real proud watching after India's Win by Gukesh.D 🙏♥️🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

[@sanketnawle]

Sagar! Can you please do a meet and greet??!! I would be attending the event here in Toronto!

[@inderpanda]

Who are here after Gukesh winning FIDE 2024 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@55555ehnx]

My Prediction: D Gukesh and Goryachakina are winning Although Caruana in open section looks strongest as of now

[@HrishikeshShelar-u6o]

Congratulations. 🎉 Your prediction came true.

[@55555ehnx]

@@HrishikeshShelar-u6o Thank you. My future prediction: D Gukesh may become next World Chess Champion. Also, he maybe the next chess GOAT after magnus...

[@DhruveelDave]

​@@55555ehnx bang on....

[@kalpnas_30]

Really exciting.. Hope Indians will perform well.. & im wholeheartedly supporting, wishing & praying for Vidit to do his best❤

[@rnbPGTV]

All the best to all our players and Sagar Bhai as well. Stay safe ❤ Always remember Sagar Bhai we all are here with you and the players 👍🏼

[@rossmurray6849]

Pragg and Vaishali are not "the first ever siblings" (5:30) to play in the Candidates Tournaments. Less than two years ago, the sisters Anna and Mariya Muzychuk both played in the 2022 Women's Candidates Tournament.

[@agent.807]

he meant brother and sister

[@Rajinikanthan-M0]

Pragg's going to Rock it........

[@philippserrin8268]

I would love to see The St. Louis Chess Club host an American vs India Tournament, a serious tournament, but maybe more about building camaraderie between the two groups of players. Maybe have a double round robin with 6 top American guys playing two games each against the top 6 Indian guys. Same for the ladies. Lots of great talent and good people on both sides.

[@chinmay4331]

The women’s tournament would be totally one sided. The Men’s tournament would be very competitive.

[@free_palestine786]

Why?

[@61rmd1]

Hello Sagar, i'm just an amateur chess player, but i love this game. I usually enjoy your channel. Thank you for this summary...Maybe, Pragg could be the winner: let's say Pragg and Firouzja. Young chess grandmaster are so impressive today...Among the women, i guess the chinese players should have the best chances. Surely, it will be a great event. Greetings from Italy

[@amitraohuman]

Good preview. Thanks Sagar and CB-I. The timing sucks if you are in India, but it is what it is. :)

[@JohnS-il1dr]

Pragg played like a champion today

[@trashedprogrammer]

Welcome to Canada (soon), Sagar. Big fan of your channel. Hoping to run into you at the event 😃

This time atleast one of Indian should get world title ❤

[@jarateman6427]

Not for the mens. An AMERICAN is getting the title. Fabi or Naka will win it!

[@Ayush-ye3wy]

Pragg has the best shot ❤️

[@parker_chess]

Gukesh and Pragg are very exciting to watch! I expect them to take surprising wins but overall to finish in the bottom half due to lack of candidates experience. Fabi, Nepo, and Hikaru are the top 3. Alireza/Vidit/Prag preforming in the middle. And Gukesh and Abasov near the bottom.

[@sujalpatil4562]

Of course, we will be awaken whole night ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ColinUdoh]

Hi Sagar, love your content, especially all those behind the scenes. Please do as much of those as you can. And show us some sights and sounds of Toronto

[@nikhilguleria4836]

After 14 rounds 1-Fabi 2-Pragg 3-Hikaru 4-Nepo 5-Alireza 6-Gukesh 7-Vidit 8-Nijat

[@indianfan1029]

I am really excited about this event. Will be following your coverage, if available. I recently started following live chess events and discovered that they are much fun. And this is one of the major events in the chess calender. The candidates. And ofcourse having three Indians is also one of the major attractions. My only complaint or grievance is that there will be no Nodirbek in the tournament. I really wanted to see him battling others, including Pragg and Gukesh.

[@bobirjonizzatullaev9701]

So pity that there is no Nodirbek Abdusattorov

[@anuragaggarwal9896]

True

[@GeniusPapa-z3m]

I mean selection was fair So pity there is no anish, Wesley, radja, aronian,fischer,anand,kasparov,paul morphy,tal,magnus etc.

[@Light_Studioz]

😂​@@GeniusPapa-z3m

[@Manish-ly7iw]

He should have qualified then. He lost that's why he didn't qualified had he won grand Swiss or world cup he would have qualified

[@iamproudpro1433]

Rooting for Fabi and Vaishali

[@wardje5195]

Having a different time control for the women's candidates doesn't make any sense, they should complain about this and refuse to play before it gets fixed.

[@pranayreddykotlo132]

Open:pragg and gukesh Women's: legendry player koneru humpy and Vaishali

[@Rio_arc]

In open vidit as well

[@pranayreddykotlo132]

@@Rio_arc maybe but he is not In good form compare to other Indians 🇮🇳🇮🇳but will hope one Indian can win candidate

[@sivaram7115]

I want vidit to win, but undoubtedly fabi and hikaru are favourites for sure

[@noorulahad3522]

Caruana maybe the favorite but the 3 Indians wil create some upsets. Noorul from Montreal

[@surekhajethwa2128]

Thanks man thanks for educating about this major event!❤️

[@dr.deepakgore1079]

Thanks Sagar bhai for providing us very nice inputs about candidates tmt , Hope to see you with your interesting commentary at 3rd April ❤🎉

[@hardikkalia8744]

Important question: Will you be streaming the Candidates or going to Toronto to cover it?

[@Kathodize]

8:43-9:05

[@lovechaudhary749]

Tan and hikaru r my picks❤❤

[@AayushMondal-cf6ce]

And Gukesh won the championship also 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@ShortOliver]

I feel like Fabi is at his top potential but I cannot deny about the Indian GMS

[@deeputhomas9887]

2 Indian GMs are very young. At the very least, this will be their first of many more. The experience alone is an achievement.

[@Sanskar05]

What an Absurd Time Schedule,I wanted to Follow Every Game but it seems Impossible Now!

[@subhendupramanik958]

It's time one Indian player takes this coveted place of V Anand.

[@kartikwatts7813]

Was really excited for the event, but unfortunately timing is not at all suitable.

[@diwakarsharma3228]

More chance to win: Caruana/neppo in men Tingie/Gorichikna/Humpy in women

[@bishopknights]

D gukesh aur pragg , best wishes for our Indian chess players

[@KnightToRemember]

It’s sad to see they still didn’t add increment before move 41

[@Kusy777ify]

I propose : Next event the champion should participate in the Candidate Tournament and the top 2 would fight for the championship ... That's more interesting for next FIDE World Championship ... 👍

[@SudipChowdhury-st7kp]

Only Pragg has some chance out of 3 Indian candidates, Hikaru and Nepo has best chances among all

[@learnwithp_]

excited for cob too

[@rishirajsharma4473]

The only guy who will crumble under pressure is Vidit. Lot of hopes from Gukesh and Pragg.

[@narendrapandey8332]

We want video of best games of candidates if possible

[@Sandy32545]

I have a feeling vidit will show magic Just a spark will happen

[@sundarrajan581]

I really miss Abdusattarov. I think Caruana and Goryachkina will win

[@thepiyush909]

Please do a prediction video

[@ishanvyas1990]

EXCIIIITTTTEEEDDDD!!!!!!!!!

[@AtharvaParashar-sc9xy]

sagar how about interviewing the indian candidates and see how prepared they are and find out about how they feel about the candidates

[@kh3777]

Sagar, But is there a no-draw rule before move-40?

[@SebOrder]

I rooting for Hikaru 🍍🇺🇲

[@dollishillwork]

Spot on, on the possible outcomes. This might be Furouzja’s time, given the way he got in and the experience he had gained from the previous cycle. Pragg and Gukesh may need one more cycle to progress.

[@AmarSharma60436]

Why Magnus is not there? Can anyone explain

[@hrushikeshbochare9407]

there is big problem in timing, no worries

[@madhusarda7998]

i think pragg/fabi would win it

[@rahulkumar-nd2ft]

3 from India... Wow

5 from India.

Where is magnus carlsen,,,

[@sandrosarkar2498]

Sagar to you which Indian is strongest in the Candidate?

[@Jay.1166]

Pragg is strongest ig But you never know. Totally depends on prep they do.

[@TRANSFORMING_YOUTH_]

Magnus isn't playing or is he retired

[@Badi_life]

Fan meetups?

No carlsen?

How are we calling Firouzja experienced when he was playing titled tuesday all night during the last candidates? Its the wrong kind and bad experience you don't want to have. 🤣

[@comedefleurieu315]

We are missing the best male players, not very interesting this year

[@ujjwal10]

What's this Sagar? Simply ignoring the fact that there are 3 Indians in Open & by all means we must encourage them or at least feel motivated enough to support & cheer them. Coming from you from such platform discourages audience in general & chess players in particular. It's not acceptable at all. Don't even stream then if you've slightest of doubt in our chess superstars!
