Maxime Vachier-Lagrave: the mind of a 2800. MVL PODCAST

[@MustreaderChess]

Hey guys! I’d really appreciate your comments with feedback re the podcast and potential new guests! Not only will it give me valuable insights, but it will also help promote the video for the KZbin algorithms.

[@Phymacss]

Alireza! we haven't heard from him for a while, and personally I would love to know more about him. Another suggestion I have is Salem Saleh from the UAE, I think he's severely underrated.

[@brucemclaren2932]

Hans!

1) I feel like you don't developp your interviewee s ideas that much and don't take time to push backs his ideas You re asking a question after another and just taking the answer and moving on I believe it's better to share more your thoughts too even and discuss more the answers (as you did with Kramnik which was a bit special not an interview more centered on a guy s carreer / opinions ..) but yeah Well that's the definition of an interview in a sense But I believe it could be better to be "on discution mode" would be much better at least for me like more a podcast where you share a bit of your ideas too or comment on the answers... And I understand that you prepare (and pretty well) to the interview by preparing lots of questions and you want to ask them all and not take too much time neither... But yeah Or you can creat a special format with real discussions And maybe I m a bit biased after the interview where also Maxime is being very clear with his precise answers where you feel it does not need more explanation 2) Maxime is very interesting in his ideas and his perspective and answers were excellent in the sense of "very clear" very precise, very sharp Really cool interview

[@MustreaderChess]

@@ADliver4430 Thanks for the feedback! It's an interesting topic re how much I should intervene and take the time for articulating my thoughts during a podcast episode. I sometimes do it more often, other times - less often. With Maxime, I've decided to give him as much airspace as possible, since it's such a rare occasion to see him in long-form podcasts/interview (unfortunately!)

Thanks for the interview Greg! We had a great time. - MVL

[@Phymacss]

Nah bro you’re not MVL😭

[@cordialement4383]

Nice try 😊

[@Ebobster]

Great interview. MVL is down to earth but also a class act. Really enjoyed this interview & hearing about his training regimen. Glad MVL is varying his repertoire.

[@adadaprout]

As a french I am very proud of our great champion MVL. He is a true athlete ! Cet homme est un athlète!

[@prasadmali4200]

love MVL's playing style, thanks for interviewing him

[@bastien4296]

Thanks for interviewing MVL !!

[@dougawesomecities]

Thank you for another great interview. I appreciate you helping my time pass at work much more quickly!

[@darshagarwal8307]

MVL was very candid! Your editing as always shines through greg! A guest recommendation would be Wesley! Really curious about his ambitions and goals

[@marcusbuffett9223]

Awesome to have your Double Muzio Gambit on Chessbook! As a big King's Gambit fan, I've been practicing the line myself :) Great pod!

[@tute4748]

Amazing to hear how top players talk about Magnus.. we've been truly witnessing greatness all these years.

[@veselinjokanovic3032]

MVL was always class! One of my favorite players for sure.

[@Aphixx]

Looks like you had fun making that intro. Good stuff.

[@Mipos-f5o]

Thank you for your fantastic podcasts! I think it would be fascinating to hear an interview with a player who recently made a significant jump in rating-say, from 2100 to 2400. It would be very interesting to learn about their training methods, key breakthroughs, and any advice they might have for others.

[@MustreaderChess]

Cool idea! Will think about it!

[@Phurngirathaana]

Check out Ben Johnson for that!

[@CatFang-or2lw]

Excellent interview

[@omarebnabdulaziz5087]

Best episode.. not regarding to the information but regarding to comfort with the guest.

[@Phymacss]

Why do you think so? Just genuinely asking

[@user-ne3vz3ks7z]

Really good podcast! Maxime is a well spoken individual.i really enjoyed your preparation and questions

Excellent interview Greg!!Hope you invite Vidit some day!!

[@mightyafk198]

It was great!

[@kalharpatel4784]

Past 3-4 years He has rarely lost to Magnus that is just brutal. Almost won every game against him.

[@satyamjha9250]

MVL talked so well about how u can be suspicious of someone's gameplay without defaming them. Quite a well take on cheating in chess by him.

[@SushantKhare08]

MVL is classy :)

no math talk? :(

[@areheptus6566]

I see what you tried

[@KickClips-h]

And also what about girls

[@Phymacss]

Guys I don’t know if you misunderstood my comment or if it had a double meaning, mvl has a degree in math so I though Gregg would ask him about it😭

[@etherealzero-hf4cx]

Vous êtes resté assez discret sur ce fléau qu'est la triche actuellement, online c'est vraiment une situation délirante (sur lichess par exemple). Et en live, pourquoi ne peut-on pas envisager des sas comme dans les aéroports, avec rayons X ou détecteurs de métaux ?

[@MinasanKonnichiwa777]

58:36 GM Micheal Adams appears out of context :D

[@MustreaderChess]

Some glitch probably!

[@avanishsriharibaje]

​@@MustreaderChess seems like the glitch is there for everyone haha

Stop the overkill...MVL IS GREAT CHESS PLAYER...PERIOD.

et moi qui croyais que tu écrivais toi même tes articles Maxime, je me suis bien faite avoir! 😂je comprends mieux le style impeccable d'écriture!

[@RealAmay]

Hey greg love your interviews. can you bring Alireza please he's a youngsters who's a very good player and has very less interviews

[@MustreaderChess]

I hope I will! I'll try, of course, he's a fascinating player and person

[@RealAmay]

@@MustreaderChess thanks. Btw I loved ur grischuk and dubov podcast

[@annn2780]

kinda wanted to hear him talk about his knowledge in math for some reason...

[@MustreaderChess]

I also did! Maybe in part 2 we'll do it!

U should create paragraphs. a)cheating b) Why Mangnus is so strong c)MVL 2800 fight etc... Its easier to follow when you want to listen certain topic.
