great podcast! thank u for making it in english

[@megafedya1]

Dubov is a follower of Mikhail Tal's work.

[@thestargazer6335]

People who know why he's vice world blitz champion 💀

[@Phurngirathaana]

He could have won the event But he 🐔 ed out at the end and played for draws and a sure podium

[@GigaShiv]

This guy is like the modern Tal of chess but talks like a mafia

bro got dubov on the podcast LETSGOOO

[@ParanoidBishop]

Refreshing to hear a top chess player being so candid, he's very endearing.

[@8xmatch]

What an Intro! Greg has been developed himself a lot im proud of him and im getting motivated from him.

[@Phymacss]

Great editing! Your videos keep getting better!

[@xqs329]

The point about Fabiano is really true....Sometimes all it takes an early start and discipline ..

[@MueedQadri]

It is a shame that Daniel has been away from the chess scene mostly because of the war, he is definitely one of the most talented attackers, which is the kind of player you need to be to beat Magnus.

[@ledo5085]

What a podcast! I didn’t feel like I wasted my time, to be honest.

интро очень хорошее, молодец, Гриша! Продолжай подкаст, но с Дубовым ждём новый еще на русском)

[@riptide1889]

Hey Greg wondering how much it took to get Dubov to come on the podcast. Looking forward to ask if we ever meet irl

[@FongYukYu]

Omg, I'm so excited!! 🎉 Daniil's Russian pod has been on my to-watch list forever, but it's a challenge to find time to *read* the subtitles vs passively listening to the pod in the background. Already can't wait for the next episode

[@MrSauri1]

Off topic but you kinda look like Guti the former Real Madrid soccer player

[@_MisterPink]

lol, is Mustreader your actual name? Great video. Keep it going, you'll crush Levy with your nice intro and entertaining style.

[@danielalcala1044]

OMG OMG OMG, ITS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! Thank you sir.

[@lukastheidel]

love the podcast, maybe you could switch the digital board in the blitz, because the guest is playing black and sitting on the left but you are playing white from the right side?

[@dimitriburyak6513]

You need to put a filter so that the colors look good. These are the raw colors of the camera. Good Podcast though!

[@ПавелРуссев-ь2я]

Hi Grisha, can you display the players' time too? Because it's very hard to see it on the clock

[@Bobby-h9o]

Boys, speak you russian, I do not understand you.

[@asisomosfan666]

Really cool podcast! I also like the setup, it sounds and looks great.

[@DanRaj-o8y]

Gukesh is already 2795 so i'm guessing this was recorded before the Olympiad. And he got there by beating the guy that Dubov was hyping up, lol

[@amar-vt6wr]

Alireza destroys him in blitz

[@Parito2378]

​@@amar-vt6wr Ahh so blitz is the real chess now . Kasparov was remembered for his classical wins I think

[@superneenjaa718]

​@@amar-vt6wr blitz just requires insane memorisation. Real chess is classical. That's where people can calculate deep and play near perfect games.

[@superneenjaa718]

@@jire9831 just see what you're implying. Beating Fabi on the board and Magnus for the board 1 gold medal doesn't prove their ability? How else do you prove yourself? Magnus became no 1 player by defeating Vishy, but somehow players of the new generation can't prove themselves by defeating Fabi, magnus etc?

[@superneenjaa718]

@@jire9831 Dubov is just lazy and finding excuses to discredit those who are achieving what he can't. It's just copium. Nothing uncommon.

[@christofferore6285]

Idk if agree with everything but the calculation part I do 100%. I think mostly everyone can be genius they just choose not to be. But Bruh i always told that f3 Line is killer, im glad to see you have so good posision this game😛 this is my favorite opening🫶🏼 Dubov is still young so I hope to see more from him. He is a defently a great player. I remember the one of the first game I watched with dubov was against svane and he won some brilliant game and I watched it on agadmator channel. I thougth this guy was really good, he even won the rapid wc👏🏻

[@madting2984]

Many people here are mad about the way Dubov talks about the new indian school of chess, however it’s very obvious he’s lamenting about something that’s beyond the individual players lol. Dubov is talking about the issue of how computers have revolutionised the game of chess, particularly sucking out the creative and brilliant aspects of it, making it instead a game of memory and study. He talks about young indian players a lot because they are the best representatives of this newer approach to chess. Sure, the way he express himself is very blunt, but that’s the russian style. He’s not wrong in saying that the new chess meta is vomiting as many top engine moves in every line you decide to play as you can remember.

[@leluminent]

These russian players have such weird takes on Gukesh. Nepo/Grischuk barely insinuating that Gukesh might be cheating with all that "mystery "comment and Dubov saying that he has to prove himself while Gukesh has already passed Dubov's prime rating. Usually big fan of them but such weird takes sometimes, like they can't accept that a kid surpass them.

[@_Nosk2196_]

The russians seems like a hivemind and just can't just accept their USSR days are left behind.

[@chchchchhchchchchch]

As russian can say, that in our chess medias everyone was amazed by new indian generation for years, but i think more people were betting on Prag because of his deep understanding, and there was an opinion for a very long time that Gukesh doesn’t have this one and he is going up on his calculations only. So maybe this is the reason for lot of russians for such takes

[@saturo_nipon]

On that note, I am an amateur football player with great talent. Although others are not really as talented as me, they get picked up because they work hard 10 hrs every day. I do play 4 hours or 7/8 hours, but training everyday is a pain, i dont enjoy it. But they always train, I am saying this because they play better than me, only because they train harder, and they have no life, or how else can you explain this? I play for a small club, because I trained really hard and came this far, But if someone else is playing better than me, thats because they are training harder(according to me) , which is even unfair

[@vibhor5015]

22:01 😂😂 He is 2794 before the video got out. And why would he need to prove anything to a 28 y/o with a peak of 2720 that he is something, when he is sitting with the world championship. The guy talks like a former world champion atleast.

[@ZeyadEl-sayedM]

he is a former rapid champion lol

[@yuvrajdahiya3206]

He is a former world rapid champion and the was unbeaten in the last world blitz world Championship came second only due to that knight dance game or else he was joint first.

[@harzh9369]

It's s also silly that these people say he is weak in blitz and rapid, bc I think he scored the most wins in last blitz wc or something....

[@yuvrajdahiya3206]

@@harzh9369 he would have been joint first if not for that knight dance with nepo.

[@AdityaPal_sciencepal]

As he said "In my personal opinion" - so no one cares literally. Every top player still wants to win the WC and fights tooth and nail to get into the candidates (remember Firouzja and his tournament, even tho he is a fashion model now). Fabi, Ian and Hikaru all looked super sad and disappointed on not winning the Candidates. Dubov talks like this coz he is a chad and also copium coz he most likely won't make / try to make the Candiates even.

[@isaac7272]

Saying Fabi is the least naturally talented among top 30 is probably joke of this decades.

[@schrama.]

Nah but it makes sense

[@vegancoke6637]

He puts in the work no doubt

[@olariufilip1993]

Fabi’s calculation is something out of this world. In classical chess is the most important thing… So he is more gifted than the rest(except Magnus).

[@МехматГруппа]

The whole idea is that calculation is not about talent

Рад видеть, что твой англоязычный Ютуб постепенно растёт ;)

[@bruceperez2283]

Caruana edge is his preparation and focus and he worked more and discipline. Natural talent-wise .. Alireza and Nepo probably is more instinctly talented. The latter just dont have as much discipline and dont prepare much as Caruana.

[@divyanshuchadha8210]

Would have loved to hear his overall take on Gukesh. Especially after his board 1 domination in the olympiad 2024. I wonder if he also like his russian compatriots Ian and Grischuk considers him a 'mystery'.

[@MinasanKonnichiwa777]

We need to stop caring about these 'expert opinions' regarding the prodigies now. They have grown up and surpassed almost all of them. Just sit back and laugh at these salty gentlemen.

@@MinasanKonnichiwa777 Nah dude. I respect all of them greatly. They moved the needle in their time. We should be humble like the Prodigies that represent our nation are. Also Dubov is a very awesome individual. Have heard his podcasts and he always talks a lot of sense.

[@superneenjaa718]

Yeah, if only he had the 'talent' of self introspection.

[@sreesub]

I disagree about World Champion comment. its not about being the best player and its about who win that particular championship having won the Candidates. Rating is easier as we saw with Gukesh adding 30 points in Olympiad.

Dude with Elo of 2700 attitude of 2800. He want to become world champion by working 4 hour a day. Even magnus in interview said you pay a huge price of being best in the world.
