The enthusiastic conversation between two chess lovers - Levon Aronian and Peter Leko

After the game between Vincent Keymer and Levon Aronian ended, Peter Leko came from the commentary box to meet his protege Vincent and talk with his friend Levon. It was such an enthusiastic conversation between Aronian and Leko that showed how much both of them loved chess.

[@Alexander-dt2eq]

love it how humble Levon signs all the autographs. As if he was thanking them that they were there supporting him and waited for him

[@NotQuiteFirst]

Kinda weird to see so many asking for autographs rather than selfies

[@DuncanEduardo]

Yes he is a great guy but regarding autographs I really wish they were readable and can make out the person's name somehow. So many celebs are lazy and just use some scribble

[@zozonce]

My personal opinion about Levon after following this tournament is sky-high. What a gent.

[@vishaltripathy3620]

levon is really nice also can also trash talk. search his bughouse games. very entertaining

[@namphan9281]

always a gentlemen as usual

[@ClarkPotter]

Everyone always loves Aronian. When you read about his childhood you become even more of a fan of him and that he managed to cultivate such a good and pure spirit despite it.

[@atulbesra822]

I became a fan of Levon after Chennai GM tournament in December 2023.

[@EliL-se3bh]

Pls do an interview with peter leko. He is a great commentator and has so many stories / anecdotes for the spectators.

[@Impulsbombe]

Yes, I could listen to him all day. I remember his stories about wrestling, such a nice story and an unexpected one.

[@denniswong4248]

peter looks like he really wants to play

[@TheSwarnajit]

Levon is such an amazing person. God bless!

[@jtekholm]

I would listen the heck out of a podcast by Levon and Peter! That would actually be aaamazing.

[@michazytecki965]

Leko and Levon are so f+++ wholesome

[@nobodymove232]

Legendary content..

[@user-eq7kn1wr9s]

Levon has always been my favorite player. I have been playing chess for over 40 years.

[@werke_und_tage]

This world needs more human beings like Levon. You just have to love him.

[@franciscogomezbasullas2169]

Dejando aparte que es un gran maestro......es una humilde persona....que todos los ajedrecistas admiran.

[@SaiPrasannaS]

Peter leko should play events then and there

[@solinvictus6587]

He hasn't played on tournaments for years. He's working as Vincent's coach now. However, I'm sure he could easily be a Top 40 player even now.

[@seya_2]

​@@solinvictus6587 He was an amazing player. On par with Kramnik he was drawn 7-7 with Kramnik in World championship match in 2004 but he lost. Amazing player

[@solinvictus6587]

@@seya_2 Yes, he was. I grew up in Hungary and in the 90s it was widely publicized when he became the world's youngest GM, breaking the previous record of her fellow Hungarian Judit Polgár.

[@ImJackBaby]

Right, he's so nice that you wouldn't think it. But then he says things in commentary, that Nobody else does, not even danya. As a top player, he can often see positions that are practically very tricky or saveable despite the engine saying -2 or whatever, see Magnus's first rapid tie break vs Alireza, he was saying magnus has great chances when the computer said -2 and magnus ended up winning@@seya_2

[@michaeloconnor6264]

Does Peter indulge in Titled Tuesdays?@@solinvictus6587

[@NoobNoonan-kc9fn]

Nobody ever gets the post mortem on video. Great job, Chessbase India.

[@CrAzzyWak]

6:40 - that laughter

[@savyasachishama3987]

Although I love chess but I love it more because of levon ,a truly humble champion and an inspirational human being .

[@onimosha8587]

What a man levon is 😊 i want to meet him some day

[@ddenti99]

this is amazing! thanks, ChessBase India

[@robertfrippers]

Levon is a true gentleman

[@Diffusion8]

So insightful! I can't believe Peter doesn't still play regularly, he is so strong!

[@KingAlpaca]

I just love Lev.

[@patrik-robertmaruntis5490]

Levon is a genius

[@THEBOBCHANNEL77]

lol Levon "I saw this position" *proceeds to make 20 moves* just different levels

[@comedefleurieu315]

I love this tournament : beautiful place and decoration, cosy, nice atmospehere, everuthing is right, we see the backstage, it feels like at home

[@theviewer6321]

Levon seems like the coolest gut there …

[@rathaq99]

levon is delightful 😂

[@areezmody6916]

What a treat and what fun to watch them - the total involvement in chess,! Thanks Sagar

[@travismontagner3141]

Have new found appreciation for both Levon and Peter after following this tournament. Couple gems!

[@Simon-xi8tb]

And this, ladies and gents, is how it looks like if you don't need anything in life but chess.

[@jamiethomas3122]

Poor Vincent trying to get a word in😅

[@johnarouet5030]

Love the behind the scenes stuff with this event. Hope others copy the template.

[@palmtreegal3]

I love this they are all so excited and having fun

[@mickdonedee1]

A wonderful moment that shows the camaraderie between the players.

[@onghock9222]

A rare sighing of Peter Leko who is legendary

[@raymondlego1701]

Two Gentlemen in our Chess community ... i do enjoy listening to these two chess encyclopedia ... Thanks GMs

[@souravsingh5908]

Super video...levon gives positive vibe always!!

[@shashishekhar----]

Levon is the man

[@oswaldocaminos8431]

​@@shashishekhar----Right on!

[@peinmilan]

3:03 LOL they can't help themselves and they set up the initial position as in normal chess, despite being in a chess960 tournament. :)

[@adomaskuzinas2137]

What position should they set up instead? Its new position every game

[@markushornung7835]

So wholesome.

[@CrazyLinguiniLegs]

Leko’s the best. I wish I had his chess understanding. Even more, I wish I had his accent!

[@DDP-Gaming]

Interactions between commentator GM and player GM,amazing

[@seya_2]

Peter is one of the best of previous generation. On par with Prime Kramnik dare I say

[@shubomb]

​@@seya_2He's a great player no doubt but you're selling Kramnik short with that comparison. Kramnik was World Champion multiple times, top-10 player of all time, has a much higher peak rating, held no. 1 position in ranking while Leko's peak was #4. There's no comparison between the two.

[@erikmathiesen856]

What a great guys👍

[@arctic-1878]

It's amazing to me that professional chess players remembers chess positions like this. Like they're just saying "b4 b5 nc6 bla bla bla" and everyone of them knows that how the position in the game was. It's remarkable.

[@speed999-uj5kr]

Anyways lovely and humble ❤ Levon sagvanshivalli

[@djdgd8089]

Legends

[@melzz]

I hope someday Grischuk will be invited to event like this, it will be fun to hear his thoughts

[@gorangoran6335]

Leko got old. I remember him being a very young boy at Investbanka chess tournament in Belgrade in 1995. I was in the audience when he beat Kramnik.

[@melzz]

That mean you are also getting old

[@gorangoran6335]

@@melzz True. 😊

[@subhodeepdas6270]

Have you ever seen Peter Leko so excited?

[@jtekholm]

Yes! When he was playing Foosball few days ago :D :D You can probably find a video from it on KZbin. EDIT: seems like it's hard to find, but it was in one of the livestream "b-rolls" type of thing of this tournament. He was high-fiving and smiling from ear to ear!

[@kennethwoods6525]

The language of chess...😍

[@dmnbkr1256]

not even understanding anything of what they are discussing xD but its amazing to watch

[@LoffysDomain]

Luckily for us, the camera was rolling

[@Persistent_Ray]

Leko in his present form can beat some of these guys.

[@PhantomFuris-gu6nz]

So much influenced by levon... Hope someday I can meet him and have a few sentence with him❤❤

[@zacadou]

Love leko

[@UponthePath]

I love this side of Peter Leko. I wish he was this animated and enthusiastic during the broadcasts.

[@andreaanarcora602]

Give to Peter a chair!!
