The way David Navara stands up to shake Gukesh's hand. Such a respectful and humbled man.

[@VARMOT123]

David navara is such a nice, respectful and wonderful guy

[@nothhinng]

I like Navara doing namaste, a great respect for India

[@bmno.4565]

David is a true class act.

[@armaankalyanpur399]

IDK speaking Hindi/Sanskrit to a tamilian is very risky

[@amitraohuman]

@@armaankalyanpur399Namaste is a mudra that is to integral Indian culture, irrespective of language and state. In fact, it is heavily used in Bharatanatyam, the dance form that originates in Tamil Nadu. Namaste _/\_ :)

[@Updog89]

Navara must be one of the nicest and classiest GMs in the game.

[@sarthakrathor1416]

Unfortunately gukesh didn't see navara's namaste but.... It was so sweet from him

[@immannkharva3445]

David won match ❌️ David won hearts ✅️

[@williamrobert9898]

Lol he won the match too, let's not sugar-coat here

[@lambertwinston2268]

It was twice David bow down to greet Gukesh, what a humble reply from Gukesh 😢😢😢

[@sonusharma-rf9sm]

Navara found all the best moves effortlessly. he is gentle and strong

[@sriram.c7958]

I like Navara's attitude, I think he likes Indian culture and Traditions 😊

[@williamrobert9898]

Sagar literally explained that he likes to do these sort of things to whoever no matter the culture

[@omgupta8859]

❤. True gentleman gm David nawara

[@SUGGYAN1356]

I love Gukesh but in this video, I respect David's gestures, attitude and game ❤🙏🏼

[@indianfan1029]

Such a respectful gentleman. I love Navara's attitude. Happy to see him win. Ofcourse being an Indian, Gukesh is one of my favourite players, but if I had to see him lose to someone, Navara is the man.

[@nk9996]

0:20 Probably Gukesh might have not noticed that ! Very great gesture 👏

[@ajaykumar-ve5oq]

looks like he did not I think he should have

[@simonvallee718]

Wether he noticed itor not, how would you expect him to react ..?

[@chichills9833]

​@@simonvallee718doing namaste back

[@amitraohuman]

Yes, I think he was looking down to place his cup and missed the gesture, else I believe he would have reciprocated :)

[@naveenkmwt]

Did anyone notice the way David arranged the captured pieces?

[@divyanshurana181]

David Navara sir such a nice and humble man 🙏

What a game by David...that endgame was something

[@jocachess]

Gentleman Navara - belíssimo! 😀👋🙏

[@sivashan4267]

David navara Before clock starts=😇🫂 After clock starts=🗿🔥

[@prakashselvam3713]

What a calculative game by both the players. Hates of to them.❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@smithmac2043]

18:09 : I might be wrong but there is a chance for Gukesh that he can sacrifice or exchange(on a7) his bishop and still has a chance to convert the game by the d7 pawn converting to queen What you all think ? If wrong please explain me

[@qasimodo2386]

All the same. Bishop d8.

[@dushyantrohilla]

David Navara, such a gem! 💎❤

[@abhishekab1]

Our guys need mental strength conditiong / coaching. Prag, Gukesh and Vidit.

[@SUGGYAN1356]

They are professional SuperGMs bro...they would be getting a lot of support & training for every possible part that we even don't know... But after all they are humans and it's fine 😊

[@nishya964]

David Navara have my respect 👏

[@siddharthchhetry4218]

Getting up from the chair while doing the handshake I haven't seen that in a while. Kudos to the other person.

[@TheMrBennito]

Navara flawless finish, that's good chess! All the right moves, maybe not supercomplicated yet focus matters

[@akashshukla9342]

Gukesh did not even respond to the namaste done by david ...

[@rooney6521]

He didn't notice it

[@rajagopalram7783]

David is a great opponent and finished the game clinically. One bad move is all that was needed to ruin a position. I'm sure Gukesh will take it in his stride. All the best to all the participants at Prague

[@wateriscoming71]

Once he stopped on a train and smiled at us because he saw us looking at chessbase on a laptop, a class

[@shivam0723]

one blunder can ruin your game😢well played by both❤

[@n.m.5744]

I have a pfoblem with Sagar’s “development”. It always sounds like: “Devil-opment”.

[@adelaidapena6257]

Nice comment on a Video of him losing xD, of course he is great tho, I just thought its funny

[@ranidoley5510]

Navara too polite!

[@MagicSmoke11]

David is a nice GM

[@amitraohuman]

Why did Gukesh have to give up the h4 pawn to the dark squared bishop? At 13:18 he could have blocked with Bg5 right? What am I missing?

[@check21003]

after Axg5, hxg5 Ka5, black has a winning pawn endgame due to the a passed pawn

[@amitraohuman]

@@check21003Got it. Thanks :)

[@MohitWason]

Gukesh could've greeted back well with a smile, but idk why he's always in a brick face mode.

[@lambertwinston2268]

Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

[@zico4743]

My man, David Navara shows who s BOSS.........

[@sani2205]

18:08 to 18:28 Gukesh's reaction is similar to mine after seeing my result in math exam 😂😭

[@sumithkorathala2874]

17:59 why didn't Gukesh played Bishop a7

[@AshokKumar-yi1so]

Someone should explain Gukesh about the ethics. He did not say namaste and shook hand while sitting at the chair!

[@Shubham-tg9qr]

Why not Gukesh response when David act Namaste

[@economics008]

David Navara true GENTLEMAN. Gukesh true Bharathiya

[@ericastier1646]

Always when they have a patch of chalk on the forehead, they loose.

Someone play lonely at the top by Asake

[@gabrielvillanueva6187]

All the great players blunder from time to time, they are human after all. A great fight nevertheless.

[@ravivaradhan4956]

Gukesh was rude to not acknowledge David's kind gesture. I hope he gets educated on this.

[@Krishnajha20101]

Is there a round today?

[@houtarooreki9802]

I don't care if Gukesh lost. Navara's humility along with chess won.

[@chessbrilliance8783]

Navarra is one of the best endgame players of all time.

[@sukrantbhattacharjee6979]

how do gm decide which colour they should play?

[@NazimKhan_1]

Its not they can decide its alternately changes 😊

[@shubhamraut5841]

Well david won hearts .

[@p.jhodeflea789]

There is a problem with Gukesh. It is not the first time he loses very superior games in dramatic endgames

[@BrulBrul-fh7dr]

Navara gentlemen good attitude

[@kararibravo9652]

Couldn{t Gukesh just have gone bishop c7 instead of pushing the pawn?

[@anands1526]

People might think, Gukesh is not being so respectful. But the thing is, concentration on game is very important.

[@lambertwinston2268]

The more he concentrated the game thus he lose the game and David was so respectful and he won it🤔😊

[@anands1526]

@@lambertwinston2268 if respect could win you games, why he isn't the world champion?

जब शेर किसी दिन शिकार नही कर पाता है तो उसकी भूख और बढ़ जाती है और वो और ज्यादा खूंखार हो जाता है Wait and see for his punch 👊

[@psycho-lp3tz]

At 8:40 why black knight not giving check to king and win white rook.......

[@aditya_7914]

Because then the pawn on f2 takes the knight..

[@user-kx9cw7cd3p]

Lol, how come someone can come and sit with gukesh during a game? Also, Choosing to be alone for a purpose and being lonely are completey different as well.

[@nirmal148]

Navarra should've said Vanakkam

[@siddharthchhajed]

Why no check with bishop n win rook @ 11.10😅

[@smithmac2043]

David can easily prevent that pin with his bishop that is on f8

[@noorulahad3522]

Gukesh needs more learning experience to reach the top. Losing makes players stronger. From Canada

[@siddharth6355]

This has become a regular trend by Indian players to blow away a winning position and then express dejection

[@premanandramesh8969]

Coming here for the first time. Not so happy seeing Gukesh. There's lot of arrogance in his attitude covered in the garb of professionalism. Probably got success too early. Life will humble him too

[@KickingtheDonksNuts]

You can't win a dead draw... may with a FM but definitely not with a GM. Another lesson learned. Gotta move on

[@tonyfortune346]

That's not necessarily true. Magnus has a reputation for winning endgames that are supposed to be dead drawn. Positions are only drawn if the right moves are played. If you put someone in a position where they have to find the one move that maintains equality enough times they will usually end up making a mistake, especially if they are low on time.

[@Garcea_linking]

Bill Skarsgård is GOOD as heck but the tatoos, the haircut... Just SO BAD. Not the Crow

[@tv240]

Gukesh is too weak and doesn't deserve to be in the top 10 in the world. He makes too many mistakes.
