GM Jan Gustafsson on Learning 1. e4, Life after Team Magnus, Chess Cheating, Chess960, & more

[@arvindradhakrishnan8270]

Such an interesting episode.Its always a pleasure to listen to Jan

[@michaelfavata2720]

Jan never quite understood that first question about chess generations. Judit Polgar and Peter Svidler are both born in 1976, so a few years before Jan. Kazimzhanov shares Jan's birth year of 1979. Aronian is a few years younger, born in 1982.

[@Chynahearthstone]

[@patrice1345]

recommend u to add some timestamps

[@ShadowK0ng]

Perhaps you could try to incorporate time stamps in the video player

[@seop1721]

I like this Jan fella. Personable bloke.

[@ChessWithMouselip]

Always interesting to hear Jan.

[@germank7924]

I met Abdu and Abasov when they were still kids and somehow disliked both, but they're both improving as public personas and Abdu, frankly, is WC material, as fierce as Magz and Kasparov.

[@daramurphy7193]

Interesting, what made them unlikeable

[@germank7924]

@@daramurphy7193I can answer with a name and a question: 1) Ediz Gurel 2) have you noticed annoying behaviors from Magz and Kasparov? :)

[@masterpiecehero]

Interview with Jan is also the oldest video on this channel

[@pavlenikacevic4976]

Jan sounds like he's commentating even when talking regularly lol

[@dylanmeyer6614]

Conversely, he is so good at commentating that he sounds like he is talking regularly.

The self hatred is strong in the German National Team when playing chess

[@one_fella]

Do you know I am the national coach of Germany

[@TCS088]

Hans a world champion? Not in this lifetime!

[@masterpiecehero]

why? did not the controversy with Hans start after he defeated the world champion?

[@TCS088]

@masterpiecehero He just isn't good enough to be World Chess Champion. Neither am I.

[@masterpiecehero]

@@TCS088 How? He beat the world champion, then you say he cant beat a world champion to become a world chess champion??? Have you beat a world chess champion??

[@TCS088]

@@masterpiecehero He didn't beat Magnus in the same format as the World Championship uses. I've already answered your other question.

[@masterpiecehero]

@@TCS088 "He didn't beat Magnus in the same format as the World Championship uses." -LOLOLOL doesn't matter, giving more time would only make the winner more accurate, Hans has a plus 3 score on Magnus. And your gunna get mad because you know im right and your wrong "I've already answered your other question." -??? you answered "He just isn't good enough to be World Chess Champion" when the fact is that he did beat Magnus, so thats means your wrong, and then you said, "Neither am I." which you did not answer. are you in the top 100?

[@TCS088]

Ben has sold out to Chessable. The only way to be a guest on the podcast is to have a course on Chessable, it seems.

[@inguh7041]

You realize he already interviewed many, many ppl without Chessable courses?

[@TCS088]

@@inguh7041 Not recently

[@mcronrn]

Possible. Also possible that Chessable has bought everyone in chess. There’s so little money in chess, that everyone with a recognizable name makes a Chessable course to put food on the table.

[@schmitz9a]

@@mcronrn This is the real reason. If you are somebody in chess, the easiest way right now to make some income is a chessable course.

[@Gush27]

This is just so false lol. It just so happens that many interesting figures in the chess world that are prominent have chessable courses. He interviews plenty of people who don’t have them, and go figure - you’ve never heard of them.
