Sagar is probably the most important person in the chess world now

[@MrSupernova111]

Maybe in Indian chess.

[@swapnilns7796]

Maybe not

[@SanjayKumar-n8h3s]

Sagar literally made the Indian kids into superstars. He's too humble to mention it, but no one's else has done more for the kids.

[@ishaanrohmetra3447]

@@MrSupernova111 in every country he is getting invited as vip every where every youtuber wants him. the management is top notch

[@Phurngirathaana]

​@@SanjayKumar-n8h3s His channel has made them popular perhaps But to say he's responsible for their success is a bit too much

[@lnebres]

Sagar and Fiona are such humble and thoughtful superstars of the chess world media. Long may they be!

I am so happy seeing Sagar Shah become successful. It almost feels personal.

[@jayasudhakar6313]

Great to see two hugely respected persons in the conversation.

[@mayankagarwal4129]

Superb interview.A very rare one bcz mostly interviewers speak 80% but here the one whos interviewed spoke the most ❤

[@agytjax]

It is amazing to see how Sagar has grown and evolved as a Chess broadcaster over the years. His commentating skills has improved and he has a knack of identifying good stories off the board - like the Uzbek player making peace with Vaishali with flowers.

[@tamilaarumugam2802]

You doing s great job Sagar 👏👏 👏

[@souravacharya4314]

Sagar is a true gentleman

[@peterparker6377]

Amazing Sagar Bhai.. who is very humble of his achievement in chess for all people in this planet

[@jinzz2940]

Sagar bhai op unofficial fan declared tata steel master champion😂

[@Velvet-ni6pu]

A crucial part of the backbone of chess as a whole ❤His love for chess and humble personality always shines through! Captures all the action on the board, commentates with such passion, recognises as well as supports budding talents, gets detailed insights from players that only he can due to his ongoing friendly relationship with them all for years, and offers us all the interesting behind the scenes and storylines that make chess a joy to follow.

[@KanishVlogz]

He predicted results of two games to the point

[@loneranterism]

I'm so happy for sagar and amrita. They deserve all the success ❤

[@nives28]

Sagar is a true example of how far passion can take ones life forward and successful. He has been doing an amazing job for Chess.

[@alwysrite]

Sagar is the best Chess Commentator - full of excitement - I liken him to the football commentators in football crazy Europe

[@NatarajSubramanian]

Man, his passion and love for Chess and Chess commentary is so genuine and infectious! I love this guy!

[@Tolyadm]

I love Sagar!

[@ragerunner9515]

Sagar Shah is a silent kingmaker and a major reason for chess boom in India

[@agytjax]

How ? You mean Gukesh, Pragg and Arjun being at the top is due to some magic cast by Sagar and not due to the hardwork put in by these players and support from WACA. Sagar is a good chess broadcaster at best and the boom in Indian Chess in recent times is helping him not the other way around.

[@ragerunner9515]

@@agytjax Which part of my comment makes you think I said the players have put in no work?

[@agytjax]

@ - Read your comments again objectively in the backdrop of what these players have achieved solely on their talent and support from their coaches. Kingmaker, uh ?

[@ragerunner9515]

@@agytjax King maker not on the basis of skills but had there not been chessbase India players wouldn't have even half the popularity that they have today, his role is far more than average media coverage, I remember he had organized camps for upcoming strong players when prag and gukesh had just become gms which has helped them a lot in becoming world's elite, also chess boom didn't happen on its own, it was players performance and media coverage both combined which increased popularity

[@agytjax]

@ - I am not denying his role as a chess journalist and covering all and coming chess stars in India. As I said, he is a good chess broadcaster. You need to give credit in the right order. Players don't become better by being featured in CBI ! They become popular, because they are motivated, they train hard under the watchful eyes of their demanding coaches. Why are the coaches and seconds not praised as highly ? I am not sure which event you are talking about that he organized. If you are referring to the event with Kramnik, it was not organized by him. He only covered it, which is good for chess fans in India. Btw, please understand CBI is not owned by sagar shah. It is owned by the German company ChessBase and they found in Sagar a good chess journalist to further their business interests in India

[@judenfisch]

i was in mumbai and i fully understand what he means lol

[@mahipalnegi8534]

Mr Sagar is doing great things in chess and escalation in interest and grooming chess which became so investing and interesting than ever.. Best of Luck and thanks to entire troop of chess base India, Sagar, Amrutha, Samay, Nikhlesh..
