Saravanan's explanation of chess books has a separate fan base.

[@realityunfiltered6384]

man when did an hour pass? His enthusiasm, love and passion for chess is impeccable and the way he talks. Can listen to him for many many hours. This is a gem of a video.

[@musaluanig]

Man i wish i had known Mr. V. Saravanan back in Summer of 2019 when i had the honor of playing against him in France. I just love his knowledge and appreciation for the game of chess. I feel like i could sit down with him and listen to him talk about chess for hours. I would've just listened and absorbed each and every word of his thoughts with pleasure. :)

[@NarenHarmonicat]

You name a book he has it, name championship he has a book, you name a player he has a book.. I think Saravanan sir is the only one having so many chess books & hence wonderful stories.... I have seen him as a player & happy to see him now as a coach & philosopher... Thank you so much Sagar sir & Saravanan sir for wonderful stuff.❤❤

[@josefserf1926]

This was the first match in ages that was worthy of a book. The first one that was not a draw fest. Tal v Botvinnik 1, Fischer v Spassky 1972 + 1992, Karpov v Kasparov 1985, Kramnik v Anand 2008 and that's about it.

[@pranavdatta4731]

These videos have been a goldmine !!! Superior shah going back to back

[@R.K.3010]

Pure gold. Can't thank you much for recording this video. Enjoyed each and every conversation about the psychology and short stories of WCs. The Anand story of WC with Gelfand was great and it's extensively covered in Surya's Channel.

[@pathikd]

A mixed list of books recommended by Sarvanan and others visible in this video: - San Luis 2005 - Anand Files - The Longest Game - My Magic Years with Topalov - The World Champions I Knew - From London to Elista - World Chess Championship 1948 - Sultan Khan - Bobby Fisher and his World - WCC Karpov - Kasparov Moscow 1985 - Team Tal: An Inside Story - Tigran Petrosian - School of Chess Excellence - Timmans Titans - Grandmaster Chess Strategy - Ulf Andersson - Coaching Kasparov Volume 1: The Whizz- Kid | Alexander Nikitin - Coaching Kasparov Volume 2: The Assassin - A Picture History of Chess - The Chess Course - Praful Zaveri - Elista Diaries Karpov - Kamsky 1996 - The World's Chess Championship, 1937 - World Championship: Pertrosian vs Spassky 1966 - World Championship: The Return Match Botvinnik VS Smyslov 1958 - The Silicon Road to Chess Improvement

[@sambasivanganesan8595]

Absolutely outstanding video ! The knowledge and passion for the game just explodes.

[@nikhiljohn1841]

There is something about Saravanan's voice that we can listen to him for hours

[@modfather1964]

Saravanan has an amazing memory and knowledge of games... great vid. respect from the U.K. J.

[@mavericksan19]

Amazing! Mr Saravanan is one of a kind - he loves chess so much n the way he explains will make anyone fall in love with chess!

[@ragsreachrich]

IM V. Saravanan talks like a professor and a preacher. No doubt it is because of the presence of these good teachers like him, Sagar and that coach of Pragg why Indian chess soared up.

[@goodtime2093]

World Championship between computers, is a rare topic and thanks to Sarvanan!. Computer science will continue to give new ideas to humans in all domains including chess . Chess is obviously some mathematical model which is unknown to us today(from scientific point of view, not chess as a sport). The chess AI algorithms are learning hidden mathematical properties of the chess game and may ultimately reach the correct abstraction of some mathematical model in few years!.

[@krishnaprabhakar526]

One of the most instructive and path breaking Chess Books about a Tournament ( off course not a World championship match) is Zurich 1953 by Bronstein. His insights were fantastic and there were no lengthy variations and each and every game was analysed . It is a great instructional book.

[@chessleochessleo4989]

of course, when you bother to confirm with computer, you find that you need to unlearn some things

[@kevinwinter4514]

An absolute joy to listen to Saravanan and nicely hosted by Sagar..loved it

[@tenorhighc1]

such an interesting discussion! He's like a professor :)

[@ragsreachrich]

Wow! I love that demonstration of the game between computers!

[@mrbeanchess1439]

After 5 year it has come my fav series 🙏🏻❤❤thanku sarvanan n sagar bhaiya😭

[@petrutarabuta5617]

Fantastic content. Thanks!

[@Ash-rx5wl]

"Harmony thy name is Karpov" is soo true. People really don't understand the greatness of Karpov. In the World championship never matches with Kasparov, Karpov never really got swept away by Kasparov, the margins were always within 1 point.

[@MarkJBBowen]

Amazing. Thank you for this feast of chess information.

[@DeepanshuMalviyaPhysics]

From where can i get this same chess set ?? does anybody know ?

[@sanyajain1393]

Yayy sara sir and the books are back❤️❤️

[@alwin1787]

There should be a chess book named " Saravanan and his all time favourite books "

[@dakshmalhotra3055]

iam in love with this man

[@theodoredansen6152]

Hey ChessBase India, are there any good books, in whole or in part, on Kramnik, besides Kramnik: My Life and Games, and Chess Secrets: The Giants of Strategy?

[@Iniyan2007]

The wooden board and pieces look amazing where can we buy those chess set??

[@kaganchess]

More saravanan library videos

[@srikanthtupurani6316]

Pulling that rook out appears very childish move. Kasparov is a genius. This is something we usually don't see in many chess matches played by great players.

[@Nocturnalcuber]

He's Mr. Walter White of chess books

[@ganesankrishnamurthy8658]

He makes us more addicted to chess books. Read chess books to improve❤

[@DeepanshuMalviyaPhysics]

great saravanan sir is great

[@blackdranzer-iv8ht]

[@rajdey7032]

Sagar Sir please provide Kasparov's book in Chessbase India

[@vignesh6654]

Wow

Indian chess is in very good hands.

[@tagheuer001]

How could anyone sleep there with all that honking?!

[@SaurabhXDD]

We are used to it

[@vignesh6654]

We can't sleep without the noise...🇮🇳😂

[@junksails814]

reading a chess book eliminates all distraction- and i fall asleep just thinking the next move

Saravanan looks like Nihal Sarin
