[@niranjanm5942]

This was very nice and insightful. Sagar bhai you always said how these guys think only about chess and nothing else. But hearing it from Gukesh directly had a great impactness on how deeply engaged they are with chess. Gukesh's answers showed that and it was not like he wanted to show himself in good light he was very honest not being people pleasing.

Awesome compilation. Thank you

[@stanmonzon5788]

Thanks

[@shamsshaikh2887]

It is not that his English is very good. He has an internal monologue that is very eloquent, thoughtful and matured. He could learn Chinese tomorrow and start speaking very thoughtful and matured sentences. He is an exceptional human and I wish him all the success in life, not just in chess.

[@Sanath1234567]

It was an absorbing podcast highlighting the fact that wins and losses come as a full package with their own lessons to be learnt. As Gukesh is very soft-spoken, the mic should have perhaps been closer to him so that the same volume is maintained for both the members.

[@-Shrinath]

Great Talent, hope you grow up to be Champion player!!

[@vigneshsubramanian9507]

People can watch whatever chess format guki plays, he makes games so interesting for audience too.

[@SDWilson-tf8wi]

What a treat. Gem of a person with so much humility even though he is a super grandmaster. As of 25 August 2023, he is ranked 7th up from 18th when this interview was recorded. He has gone past his idol Vishy. A point to note - Super Magnus Carlsen rates Gukesh as one of the best classical chess players, what more does anyone want. Let us hope he becomes a World Champion in the near future. Thanks for the great interview of a deep thnkinking highly committed Chess champ!!

[@pallamahendra7164]

Gukesh will reach top rating and definately he can reach 2800 soon i think gukesh is an elite chess player in the world

[@Chessshiv]

Good 👍

[@avitolourenco]

Audio messed up, due to both mics picking up audio is my guess, each should be solo for the time each participant speaks.

[@avanishsriharibaje]

Good chance of being candidate for next WC. Vishy mentioned it in a tweet that one junior has good chances.

[@Snezhinka]

Sagar bullying Gukesh right out of the gate with the girlfriend question lmao. And then he goes "would having a girlfriend distract you from chess" and Gukesh's clearly thinking, "I don't know, Sagar, I wish I knew!" on the inside. I'm so glad I wasn't famous at 16!

[@braino1931]

I really wonder about gukesh

[@user-jl1gr1li5c]

Well mannered boy

[@chemikalaraja1971]

A little bit raise in sound is needed. Sometimes Gukesh voice not clearly audible. May be technical issue.
