[@ErmirGjoni-y9w]

This is great content for chess fans. Possibly the best kind of chess content.

[@laukik96]

More than just being informative, this episode was an entire experience on its own. Right through the books of history, saw a whole new perspective. Great job! Excited for the next one.

I was waiting for this new episode after the one on Lasker, this series is so educational for chess fans, i hope it will continue.

[@Ivan_Pavlov]

Sagar bhai one advice to you if you upload at this frequency some videos will be pushed by the algorithm but some like these will somewhat disappear from the algorithm and people will not be able to see such great content. You can upload these interviews which are not related to candidates after the tournament so that they can get the right push that they deserve

big kudos to Sagar for walking almost 1 hour in a backward fashion :)

Good to know so much about the great Jose Raul Capablanca!! Pure Genius along with Morphy, Tal, Phillisbury , Sulthan Khan and Fischer!

Personally, I respect today's good players more than the old masters for the simple reason that at that time, chess was very closed and 95% of the world's population did not have access to chess. The matches were restricted to rich white people mostly from Europe and the US. Today, however, thanks to the internet, anyone from any country in the world can play even at the highest level. More importantly, even people from poor background can today shine as we have seen with many GM's from India. Chess today is a global sport. Back then, it was not.

[@pathikrit1913]

Wow a different perspective indeed. Totally agreed.

Chess was more beautiful in pre computer Era.

Chess can be played by anyone, including poor people. That was the case even in the past. Becoming good at chess is a different matter. The same countries that were good in chess in the past are good at it even today, viz Russia (then USSR), Other breakaway countries of USSR, USA, Europe. China and India were the two notable recent additions among strong chess playing nations. There is more to chess proficiency than just being able to afford playing chess. Standard of chess is low in Africa and to some extent Latin America. One can argue that poor economic conditions are behind their poor standard. But then what explains the low standard of chess in prosperous countries like Japan and Korea ? Among the ten most populous countries of the world, India, China, USA, Russia are good at chess. Indonesia is 59th. Brazil is 32. Mexico is 48, Nigeria is 84. Bangladesh is ranked 69th in the world. Pakistan, a country that compares itself with India in every field is ranked at 112.

@@atulbesra822 Man don't panic, I see this issue with all people of low IQ. Hope you understand this, fingers crossed: Chess rules where heavily modified by Europeans Or you can say a new variant of chess was developed and forced upon the world. "Basically come play by my rules" They developed lots of theory of this new variant not accessible to people from India, China, Iran etc specially at a time when horrors of racism/ colonization was at its peak. Ex for LOW IQ people- A new language is developed in closed rooms in Europe and europeans want you to speak that language which is funny to me. At last Europeans still being good is a pre mature statement as others have started showing up only recently. Also: Couple of kids from chennai and one man from Pune is giving all Europeans/ Americans/ Russians a run for there money in this candidates and its just the begining. Alireza from Iran is better than all eurpoeans put together so i want you to just wait and watch.

Utter woke bollocks!

[@deadlyninja8391]

Plz sit down and take the interview. I am unable to watch

[@nirmalnath7801]

Chess was more beautiful in pre computer era 😊🎉

[@VARAPRADA.K]

Chess was basically a hostage to Europe during this era and they kept calling each other great and natural talent and everything 😅 Not to be taken seriously Tbh. No Chinese or Indian could even get into this elite club forget Africans and others. Still far behind becoming an aspirational sport for youngsters. I don't buy any of this.

[@redwithblackstripes]

No one is selling it to you

[@VARAPRADA.K]

And you are a European chess clawn​@@redwithblackstripes

[@NotQuiteFirst]

@@VARAPRADA.K You sound bitter and envious. Go outside, touch grass.

[@sankyboi]

@@VARAPRADA.K Sultan Khan was a well known indian chess player from around Capablanca's time, don't talk out of your ass.

[@VARAPRADA.K]

​@@sankyboiOh finally!! some smart guy wants me to behave. Smart guy is a big believer that only Europeans could become world champion up untill twentieth century how mysterious/cool and he will have all the reasons to believe so,but I don't. Chess is only now beginning to open up with Iranian,Indian and Chinese players. In 20 years time you won't find Europeans near the chess board, if you know what I mean smart guy. Don't pretend to be smart if you are dumb it's a good life hack.
