Hi everyone, Emil was right about Viktor Korchnoi having played most number of games. So yes that was an error from our end. Kudos to him for every time finding an error in our quiz. We need to prepare better! - Sagar

Emil was in fact correct on who played the highest candidates games.Korchnoi played a total of 242 games. Korchnoi played in 10 Candidate cycles(1962, 1968, 1971, 1974, 1977, 1980, 1983, 1985, 1988, and 1991). 1962- 28 games 1968- 28 games 1971- 18 games 1974- 32 games 1977-43 games 1980- 33 games 1983-20 games 1985-15 games 1988-8 games 1991-17 games. Did a lot of research 😅. But yeah Emil was right. Insane that korchnoi played these many games. CBI please pin this comment to let everyone know.

[@srinathk911]

​@@KaranS2022 Mostly they qualified through interzonal tournaments

[@tanmaychandak8314]

I had complete faith in the comments section. You are our saviour. Thanks!

[@vladislavkucher2718]

Much more interesting person to interview than most active professional chess players. Aronian is interesting and knowledgeable though

[@kaustubhgarg9662]

[@erickent4248]

Amazing interview/quiz. Sutovsky has an amazing memory. Takes me a minute to remember what I had for dinner last night. Wish there was less background noise, so much chatter in the background.

[@pukulu]

What a great memory that Sutovsky has

[@pradeepkumarpradhan338]

Just wow, really enjoyed this. Please do such quizzes in future with other GMs as well

[@BrajeshKumar-hm9sw]

Really amazed by Emily knowledge of the past.

[@indianfan1029]

Really impressive. The players you quizzed fared so poorly. Emil is Gangsta.

[@georgejoseph9776]

The 2nd didnt play candidates qtn should itself be worth 100 points 😂

[@anindyaganguly5243]

Why was the closing ceremony not streamed anywhere online? Any idea guys?

[@ridhdhishmodi1768]

[@surajsingh6560]

Pls tell about upcoming chess events🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@anilrediff3597]

stop the music it is so disturbing, can't hear the actual stuff

[@NotQuiteFirst]

So what is the real answer of who played the most games, Korchnoi or Petrosian? It is the main point of contention between Sagar and Emil but it is never confirmed.

[@apoorvkamble8070]

Viktor Korchnoi played a total of 186 games in the Candidates tournaments throughout his career.

[@srinathk911]

Not really. He played a total of 242 games

[@apoorvkamble8070]

@@srinathk911 chat gpt said 186 candidates games 😂😂

[@AbhishekSingh-cq4yo]

i live in budapest❤❤❤

[@setujain3058]

The BG music is overwhelming. Should be slightly toned down.

[@hellostranger2012]

You should have asked him about Peter hiene😂

[@ishanjoshi1350]

the quizzing bgm is a good addition if your mics are clear. But Emil's voice is too soft and the bgm is ruining the experience.

[@user-oj3cv2ur4b]

To be fair the questions were really easy

[@mottiadler8700]

Sagar, Emil is human, not a database!

Only Sara can beat this guy I think... May be.

[@samroberts7135]

2nd question was so boring and long that I slept while waiting for it to end at some point.

[@ameydamle1892]

Good interview, could have been better. Very irritating music, does not resonate with audience of chessbase India.
