The man who has 1000+ chess books at his home! | Ashwin Subramanian | ft. Gukesh

Ashwin Subramanian is a tech expert, a supporter and lover of chess players and also a collector of chess books! His collection is different from that of regular collectors. He likes to not only have well known books, but also new ones which have been released some days ago! We visited his home in Bangalore after the WACA celebratory event and Sagar Shah shot his collection. Also a cameo by the World Championship Challenger Gukesh at the end of the video.

More than 1000 chess books? I have too. Mine is probably the biggest private collection of chess books in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I have been buying chess books since 1962.

[@shourya769]

Chill bro it was just for title to get more views.

[@marcodelacruz7727]

Congratulations

[@jayasuriyas2604]

Wow

[@thechessnerd]

Makes me miss my collection back home in Canada 🥺

[@adityasurroy2]

The man and his books. This man's love for the game of chess is something else. Thank you Sagar for convincing Ashwin to share this. Just like him, this collection is also GOLD.

[@SrudiD]

What a book collection yaar 😮 amazing 🤩

[@WailordWaffles]

Sagar I love the way to conduct your interviews. You're so patient, never interrupt and ask such insightful questions. Really allows others's stories to shine through so authentically!

[@kaushalshah2926]

Thank you so much for making this video. He is a very humble person and always answers my DM on Instagram. Always watched him at the events with the players and used to wonder about him and later got to know that he supports Chess players a lot from behind. Unsung hero!!

[@Diagnoc]

That very first book he shows at 3:00, the orange book on Kasparov by Yudovich, I do have a copy signed by the great man (GK) himself.

[@LovelyArcticBirds-dq1sj]

I'd die for a man who has this many books. These kind of people are legends and the keepers of worlds.

[@jonoeld]

Wonderful to see such an interest. Ashwin looks very simple and authentic and such a fire in him is amazing. I live in France ( born in India) and follow chess fully. Hope some day I would meet Ashwin.

[@_sushantprabhu]

ASHWIN SIR - The OG ! Amazing book collection and wealth of knowledge !

[@ninadtiwari8020]

Ashwin is one of the awesome Chess lover I have ever seen. I follow him very closely on Insta. He is not only chess lover, but also a fabulous photographer. Best thing about him is that he always try to reply to his followers. I wish him all the support and I hope more people will get to know about this gentleman!

[@gingmedhi]

This video gave me goosebumps. So nostalgic to reminiscence on old collections :') Loved it. Thank you

[@joachimklein7066]

Hi Sagar. I also love your videos. I know you are a technically well equipped person. Do you ever thought about an (AI) background noise reduction tool? This would help you a lot in some videos while keeping it authentic. This is not a critic. It is designed to be a constructive feedback. (I, of course, know a lot of your videos)

[@shivasundar]

It's a priceless, wonderful collection. Excellently categorized and catalogued! Please keep doing such videos @Sagar; I liked the Venkat Saravanan's "book collection" videos as well! [Obvious bibliophile here, in case it was not apparent earlier Sagar, if you have followed my comments!]

[@akdevendraswamy141]

Chess Library wow!!

[@gregg3457]

Thank You for another most excellent video!

[@KironKabir]

[@seetharamankalyan]

Good video. He talks nicely

[@rajdey7032]

Can you please suggest some books for Tournament preparation?

[@DavidJames-sp3os]

You read All of them? I don't know the rules yet of this game. I have a question . If you can answer it.Most players open the same,why do they do that? I play defense strategy first. Like when i play the computer on the highest level,i use defense strategy. I get a stale mate. Maybe there's something I'm doing wrong. .

[@ameykulkarni1719]

Ashwin sir is a great person, it's great I am connected with him on Instagram, his photograph is also great.

[@subhampoddar3160]

Amazing ❤🔥

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

I have 3000 chess books but there is never enough time to read even 10 of them!

[@jkla7031]

[@Shashwat7iwari]

Ashwin Sir will be adding the Ding Gukesh World Championship Matches book

[@aadityasingh4582]

[@krishrao2778]

[@wthxrsh]

Heaven for real

[@PT-js4yg]

True chess lover

[@roxyknight4909]

Chess book collections are cool. Lovely Collection. But seems a shame there not all out sitting side by side on a bookshelf. Seems also a crime to have books behind other books. Having categories is cool .... my layout is World Championship matches, Tournaments and Matches, Players, Game Collections , Endgames, Openings, Tactics, Training, Chess Misc including Chess History

[@userkr5479]

18:16 what's the bottle for?

[@ridhamrana0402]

It was just placed there,Its mukhwas after eating food

[@SaakarChess]

Now I know why books I wanted are always out of stock on CBI online shop..ha haha..😂Just kidding..I have 100 out of these & 50 are from CBI online shop!🥰 I am happy not to see British Chess Magazines & Informators here which I have..😍

Grateful for this video...

[@shaileshvisionaryastrology7952]

I am interested in teaching chess to earn extra income, any suggestions how to go about it. Thanks.

[@ayushkr6518]

[@thecritic3443]

[@joylife428]

[@catalanicsurya3089]

Maturity is when you realise you can read each and every book from Z library 😈

[@arun-it9gr]

That's not maturity, that's rationalised chichanery

[@thecritic3443]

From experience telling you.. even if your read a thousand books by cheating not even one would come for your aid when you need the....

[@user-iv7by8bp8n]

If someone can't afford then?​@@thecritic3443

[@saptakbanerjee6495]

what does z library smell like

[@MegaNawang]

OCD

[@jeroenbarbier3508]

So more then 1000 books, and never been world champion?😂

[@funtimefunny2153]

He's given up chess 😔

[@pranitgandhi6832]

I was wondering the same 😂 People just flaunt that they have read hundreds of books, but what is the use of reading so much if you haven't become even a FM.

[@rcs4320]

He was Amateur world champion.

[@VivekSharma-sn7hl]

​@@pranitgandhi6832maybe he wasn't interested in chess career. He has a different passion. I am passionate about music and have read a lot for books on it but never became an artist

[@Shri]

@@pranitgandhi6832 I bet you have a collection of music tracks and listen to them every day. Doesn't mean you will become a musician. Hobby != Expertise. Happiness != Success.
