Without sagar's commentry i wouldn't even know they're calculating 4 moves ahead 🥶

Anand still a " monster "

[@zaraxoxoxox]

Yes

[@theinterruptedlife1783]

they are probably calculating even more moves ahead

[@Toha-jh4xn]

Anand once said if the position is not very complex he can even think 70 moves ahead.

06:41 🥶 Monster level from Anand.

[@karthiksheshadri6600]

Looking at this game, I understand something of the terror that Anand used to inspire earlier in his career. He is playing quickly, fearlessly,, and accurately, resembling the player he used to be in the 2007-2010 era. I wonder if he has any interest in playing the candidates. I expect he would beat Ding in this form.

[@BharadwajSubramaniamdude]

nope, he has clearly mentioned that he has no title aspiration anymore. Playing as a semi-professional player is different. He is able to play freely without the stress of preparation n all and that's why u see him playing good.

Vishy literally suffocated Levon's king, bishop and rook in a corner.. What an awesome game..

One of the reasons chess commentary is essential is you get to know the foresight / reason behind every move.

Exactly, Vishy's boobie traps 🪤, Can give anyone the Vietnam flashbacks.

[@vinayakvaidya4]

I'm sorry but what is this continuous obsession with mentioning his age in every video of him which he wins, if you know he's a legend and one of the greatest, this everytime mentioning simply undermines him as if we're shocked! He ain't a regular chess player who has won at age of 53, kindly stop with this age mentioning in every post and video, really disrespectful towards him.

[@Samrat_096]

It's not disrespectful. Chess skills deteriorates with age. That's the general trend. You can see that with Garry Kasparov currently. But Anand seems unaffected. It's actually flattery and respect, on the contrary since he's beating the norm.

[@jessejonathan523]

Yeah. A 5 time world champion will stay in Top GM his whole life. What do expect from him. Even with age, you can't forget the basics of chess! Vishy grew from no computer to computer theory in which most of GMs have failed! When it comes to principles. The more experienced one is better!

"Bishop pair is useless when opponent has a Knight."

[@indianfan1029]

Bishop pair is overrated in my opinion. Yes in certain conditions, it does wreck havoc, but so do two knights, or even a single knight. Sometimes forks 3 or more major pieces, something that the bishop can never achieve. Ofcourse bishop has the advantage of "pin" which knight doesn't.

Too early to say that about magnus, for all we know he's the only one that can pass 2900 even now.

[@adcyuumi]

@@miaomeow69 I have been noticing a slow decline in Magnus's play over the past 2 years or so. He is a workhorse player who wins/loses almost entirely by how much he has memorized, and his perfect recall is starting to fade. He has been compensating by exploring offbeat lines, but as opponents learn them too his ability to win at the highest level is going away. Magnus in 5-6 years may not even be a top 10 in the world player. Compare that to Anand though. The man is still an absolute force, and if he became World Champion again nobody would even blink.

Doctorate vishy ❤🎉 Read your book ❤🎉 i had learnt from emmanuel lasker also a doctor ChatGPT mon jul 10 Yes, Emanuel Lasker, the renowned chess player, did have a doctorate. Lasker earned a doctorate in mathematics from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in 1902. His dissertation was titled "On the Theory of Partitions" and focused on a mathematical topic related to number theory. Lasker is best known for his achievements in the game of chess, where he held the World Chess Championship title for 27 years, from 1894 to 1921. Despite his success in chess, Lasker maintained a strong interest in mathematics and philosophy throughout his life.
