KZbin recommending this gem of an interview after Arjuns awesome olympiad performance!

[@duraisingamvelu]

Indeed 😉

[@adhithyar9345]

Well, the guy has fine tuned Arjun’s brain very well.

[@notdarkangelu]

If "Brain-tuning" was chess, Arjun's dad would've been in the Candidates for sure!

[@datdudeinred]

His mother is true OP. she is the background Hero of his life. Even in this interview she knew every little detail of arjun's career. She deserves a medal too.

[@pramodkakoriya8072]

@chessbase India: It was really heartening when Arjun's dad said that you and Bharath Spotted his talent. Chess Base India is doing amazing work. your Channel is playing an integral part in taking Indian chess to the next level !

[@MrAnanthaP]

Yes Arjun the pandava was ambidextrous (savyasatchi) and so is Erigaisi. Erigaisi's chess name is gandibam which is also the name of Pandava Arjun's bow.

[@rohitb4548]

[@bbbbhj9177]

Divya and arjuns parents are doctors.....????

[@teja_surya]

Yes, even gukesh and Nihal 's parents are doctors

[@lazarwolf1874]

+ Vidit's parents too..

[@jaganjca2686]

Sampath sir is good coach 👍

[@prajnatarai960]

❤❤❤

[@Makerbreaker10]

why almost all top gm parents are doctor. Vidit parents, nihal parents, gukesh parents and now arjun also?

[@joshuaevanfrancis8141]

Chess players don't earn very much hence players who do pursue chess are from a well off and educated family.

[@shashishekhar----]

Nice

[@Charan023]

Question to Dr Srinivas as well as chessbase - How can you bring more wealth (worth) for a person who dedicated his tender young age? A Grandmaster winning AbuDhabi tournament gets 15000$ as prize money? 😢 I withdrew my son (similar skills as Arjun) from chess because there is no money in chess & it is not worth it. What are Anand, Humpy, HariKrishna doing today vs Sachin, Virat, Dhoni? Arjun E. 's skills will be very useful in other fields of life, like economics/ finance. Even now, it is not too late. In 2 years, Arjun can become a hedge fund manager with his skill set. Dr. Srinivas, please think seriously about this

[@rugvedjoshi2003]

my friend if you think of 15000 dollars as less then you must rethink your career, and speaking of above names they have aldredy acheived much more career than these corrupt criceters and their boards

[@niwlarosejio]

I think he missed the dollar

[@poonamsahu3163]

This aged very well

[@narujohn6984]

Agree with your point, and it is the same for any sport in India. Only the top 50 or so players in cricket get paid well. What is the life of others? Probably Arjun's father, being a surgeon, might be doing so well that his son need not earn anything.

Nice yo

[@granand]

Looks like memorisation in NEET alters DNA and some kids memorise entire chess steps . I need to do some research on this hypothesis

[@ChessCube2]

Everything is good until he said 26:51 this is india. Everywhere it will happen

[@dhinaggarrajahcr6318]

But check statistics, ours is way worse

[@pavkal6603]

Lollll these people are way more experienced in life than you and have way more knowledge. Rather than listening you take it negative way … I guess that’s how Indians are. You proved him right by reacting this way.

[@dhinaggarrajahcr6318]

@@pavkal6603 exactly, man

[@narujohn6984]

Nope, the per capita crime (per 100 people) is less in India. Naturally because of huge population, the overall numbers would be high.

[@thetransferaccount4586]

who even listens to this?

[@-Bloodthirsty]

People who haven't fried their attention spans and are interested in the life of Arjun.

[@tabla-sc5qw]

Who will not, he is world no.3 now
