Amazing interview!Dirk Jan is such a wise,erudite,and,cultured man.A true bibliophile!❤❤❤Wish we could have also seen his literature and art books collection.Excellent job,Sagar.

[@capablanca4984]

The chess history this man has seen as well as the all time great players he has known and interviewed is simply amazing! This was a wonderful interview.

[@DaaimShabazz]

This is why classical chess will always be king. You can't build a history like this on rapid, blitz and bullet. They are not even in the same league. Soon we will get back to the roots of appreciating classical chess instead of people trying to make it into a gimmicky arcade game.

[@murphyhw]

Fantastic, 100 times better than the endless blitz game videos!

[@nadvani4844]

Who wants to become a grandmaster when i can be like him? Those chessbooks are probably worth a fortune!

[@joeldick6871]

Cochrane is the one who played regularly with Bannerjee Maheshchander who played some of the earliest Indian Defenses. There's also the Cochrane Gambit. He's a very important figure in the development of opening theory.

[@Hairulovchessmaniac]

Both are brilliant.

[@ddfan1983]

[@peruviancowboy]

I was waiting for “the question”. whats going to happen to this when you pass away

[@hypersphere]

Incredible! I'd pay just to have some time looking through these books. Some I'd be afraid to touch though :))

[@RonaldoMoura]

New in Chess could make money selling copies of that Encyclopédies poster. soo cool.

[@kvdzwan]

If the drawing of Van Gorp really dates from 1791, then it is definitely not Rousseau, who died in 1778, nor Diderot (who died in 1784); both didn't live to see the French Revolution. Anyhow, 1791 was, to put it mildly, not the quietest year in Parisian history, and is somewhat surprising that this drawing actually made amidst the turmoil of those days...

[@leonarderasmus6119]

Very nice

[@Phurngirathaana]

Saravanan and Dirk are gaven a amazing nolej about books Now I will by and becaming rated player 👍

[@ArederQ]

[@roxyknight4909]

[@dancatchem3813]

I don't understand the comment Kasparov wrote on the cover on MGP Fischer, was he saying that Fischer refusing to play him and analyzing Fischer's games he knew he could beat him or the was just sad because he would say wrong things about him?

[@DaaimShabazz]

Wow! My book Triple Exclam is at 1:16:52.

[@bdpv025]

[@ragsreachrich]

Were it not for chess books, I would have lost interest in chess a long time ago.
