Expensive RED Camera ❌ 3 Axis gimbal stabilizer ❌ Just a simple phone, immense love for chess, and sheer dedication of Sagar bhai towards chess coverage and it's promotion, time and again results in such beautiful story-like videos which captures all the emotions, thrills, people's reaction and everything happening in and around a chess event. Thank you Sagar bhai and CBI. ❤❤❤

Absolutely stunning! What a video/documentary this is! Thank you Chessbase India team for shooting and editing this masterpiece. Feels like you have done justice to Gukesh's achievement. There were many moments in the video that I reminded and watched again - player's reactions, how Gukesh's second made him comfortable during the post-wun media interview, just to name a few!

There's something magical when Gukesh adjusts the pieces before the game. and as far as I know, he puts the pieces back in place after every game. his love and dedication, his respect for the game of chess are admirable. I bow to this real gentleman

I hope the World championship match will take place under better playing conditions where chess players will not be subjected to the kind of distractions that they were subjected to in candidates venue.

I'm a fan and think this is one of the best chess channels, in big part thanks to Sagar, but man... it's probably time to get a cameraman or a filmmaker... the shaky phone footage is kind of off-putting. Keep up the great work.

[@HansNiemann762]

someone for god's sake please explain , for such an important tournament , with such high stakes , isn't it important and affordable to make chess players sit in a sound proof room with no people,journalists roaming around , it literally doesn't make any sense to me , is there no money in chess to put players in soundproof closed room with camera's inside , why is there a balcony filled with people watching , coughing during the game , or do these chess players have some superhuman powers , or are they given some injections to ignore everything , cause its very obvious to me that all these things kinda distract you from the game , and just doesn't make annny sense

[@rambhayadav9854]

Exactly

[@janviruparel9165]

True those journalists surrounding you (even if they make no noise) is still distracting. Maybe this is how things happen and maybe the players are habitual to these sounds and people around them

I think we need to now take a step back and not keep milking Guki’s win for content. It’s amazing he qualified - you celebrated in the park, he got a grand welcome in Chennai but like he himself said, this is still only half way. So making multiple videos on his journey, interviewing coach, going to his school etc is just a little too much milking. A step back for the potential World Champion will be a respectful thing to do. Just saying.

[@vijaygautam5864]

Kya gukesh chess Olympiad me jayega??
