Gukesh Dommaraju's Interview Before The Match

[@lonewolf5403]

A remarkable journey for Gukesh D from being inspired by legends like Vishy and Magnus at the World Championship to becoming a contender himself. A true testament to dedication and perseverance!

[@prajwalbharambe343]

took him 11 years. but he dit it😮

[@EliL-se3bh]

Gukesh is very eloquent and calm. His answers are very polite. I thought the questions were also good and were not the obvious and same questions that we always hear. Good luck Gukesh!

[@harshaltiwari8510]

I am 35 and not even half mature as this guy. All the best Gukesh! Will be cheering for you.

Yeàh

[@Nobody-xe7si]

Most of them say yeah before starting saying .. few say no like hikaru

Such a humble, well-spoken guy. I wish him the best.

Let’s go, Gukesh! wishing you all the success and hoping to see you shine! 🔥✨🥳 Full respect to both you and Ding ❤

Like, in an Exam, only those who get nervous who doesn't know the answers...Gukesh knows... how much the efforts he dedicated towards chess and in this Fide World Championships 2024, Singapore... So he's Calm...✌️😎👍

[@BharatXtreme]

GO WIN THE WC GUKESH.. Entire BHARAT is rooting for you.

[@mathewcastelino243]

I heard some people saying Ding may or may not play. I feel some people are playing mind games to distract Gukesh. I hope Gukesh will not fall for this. Hope Gukesh will win this and become youngest world Champion.

[@cblips1]

Out of any question you can ask a world championship challenger, you're asking him about adjusting his collar? Seriously dude??

[@Sir-.-]

Good luck Gukesh 👍 we cheer for you 🤗 😊

[@Eevee8858]

Hope we get prime ding to crush gukesh and then gukesh to swindle past him slowly within 14 rounds, i e a close quarter wcc with guki win by a margin or two

[@prajwalbharambe343]

lets just hope for no or less draws😂

[@adityajha8701]

if it's prime ding. gukesh is done for

[@GaugeSymm]

@@adityajha8701 Prime Ding would been a favorite for sure, but its obviously not a 100% Ding victory, but I would've given prime Ding a 60-65% chance

[@Eevee8858]

@@adityajha8701 obviously you are new to chess scene perhaps, even prime magnus couldn't crush his contemporary at that time (fabi) even though he was like 60-70 elo ahead of him, Else why would you think prime ding will absolutely stomp over gukesh? Sure he would be favourite but it would result in close quarter match Similar to how people love to chant about how Kasparov absolutely crushed karpov when in reality it was a win by a thin margin

[@adityajha8701]

@@Eevee8858 magnus's examples rarely means anything. he lost to a player far below him in wcc match. but just like magnus is the 100% fav. prime ding is a 100% fav again gukesh. everybody has good tournaments and runs once in a while. anish vidit duda or any top player. doesnt mean they become equal to magnus fabi group. gukesh have had a good run. but its a short run. can he consistently prove himself againt top top players is still needed tk be seen. he didn't win against any candidates contender (fabi ian) in candidates. a 2800+ ding is a beast 100 non losing games

[@abhisekpanigrahi6098]

Ding vs gukesh is like ice vs ice 🥶😂😅

[@rakeshkulkarni3767]

Let’s go Gukesh! 😍

[@ajayprajapati3097]

Guki best in chess as well as best in public speaking too!!

[@trisharoy__DRDZ]

GUKESH YOU WILL WIN THIS I AM VERY SURE :)) CONQUER THE WORLD GUKESH

[@prajwalbharambe343]

prrof sauce?

[@t.n.dhyaneswar2700]

is he giving interview to enhance his confidence level😊

[@stillhere95]

He says it's natural for the heart rate to go up and down in critical moments but just saw Magnus play Fabi at a constant 75 bpm. Starting to think he might actually be an alien.

[@elawchess]

It's in a match that means nothing though

[@stillhere95]

@elawchess true. But Fabi was at 150+ in the same game. Am starting to think that Carlsen's whole biology is somehow primed to play chess.

[@jimmyfuckthechainofcommand4332]

Yeah, that's the case for Carlsen now, but it wasn't the case for him in his first WC. He was shaking a lot during early stages of his first match with Anand. And I'm sure even for him still in more serious settings it will go up, not extreme but not insignificant either. No doubt there's some biological advantage and probably also some deliberate training, but most of this calmness is about the chess experience and ability he's accumulated. He's seen everything, done everything and at his best he's better than anyone still. Very few things may be able to surprise him or get him off kilter at this point.

[@Rudra-Raut811]

Its the mindeset, magnus know he is the best and fabi too know magnus is the best

[@richardlobo88]

Good job mike, for bringing up the Paddy Upton question.

[@samarthbagwe1736]

He is not important he is just a Mental fitness coach

[@richardlobo88]

@samarthbagwe1736 true, but it's a facet that noone really talks about it openly.

[@WolfPage-f8w]

KEEP THE CROWN DING!!! 👑

[@mlbamania1545]

Not easy as difference is in Elo rating is having significance. Otherwise ELO will loose meaning

[@System.Error.]

the next video would be about ding interview?

[@gaBBarSlnGh]

Gukesh should not give these interviews Would Magnus have given an interview?

[@bruce_14605]

Won't impact his performance certainly

[@gthakur17]

Gukesh already looks older than Anand

8 - 0 would not be a surprise

I agree. It must be all the excitement which makes it difficult to sleep. Hope he relaxes after a few early wins.

[@DreamWizard9]

He will be a worthy number 2, after Magnus.

So you want stupid brain dead trash talking like UFC or Boxing? May be Chess is just not for you man!

To appreciate quality conversation a highly intelligent brain is required. Unfortunately you don't have a functional brain on your shoulders. Wish you a little intelligence in the next life.

What do u want? trash talk like hans with no skill to back it up? Or baseless accusations from an insane kramnik?
