Vishy - still finding the best computer moves in almost all positions - lovely 🤩🤠! The OG - not for nothing he was Advanced Chess Champion twice in a row (if memory serves me right). Also, *Vishy the Dumbledore at the Indian Hogwarts* ! Lovely smiles - the pride when he sees his mentees' key moves - made my day!!

[@sreejithnair705]

Nihal winning multiple titled tuesdays recently, and being in top consistently is an achievement as well

[@roshanrider225]

Nihal became very weak compare to pragg ,gukesh and arjun

[@jatinkaushik689]

​@@roshanrider225only 20 rating weak?

[@gauravmitra8091]

Yes he even beat Hikaru and went on to win Titled Tuesday..these performances by Nihal should be noticed by everyone, I guess Sagar does not even know about it.

[@hritikkumar2518]

Yes,he won the most recent titled tuesday by beating both Firouza and Hikaru , very impressive indeed

[@gshankar2021]

Sagar is not doing well ...looks like he has sore throat but still he conducts this session Hats off and respect.

No voice in the video. First comment!!

[@himankghosh2333]

Voice is there now!

[@shivasundar]

@Vishy - I saw the touch move video carefully again. You should not forget that *Carlsen famously touched a piece against Nepo in the WC first of all - which he did not claim, and everybody wondered about that* !! We all support Nihal obviously ☺👌🖖However, this is the opening, _and also_ I did not see Nihal mouth the words "I adjust" or at least look at Nepo to just visually convey this. Cheers, sorry to correct you!
