Vladimir Kramnik speaks about Pragg and Gukesh and why he thinks they are the absolute best

4 years ago in 2019 Vladimir Kramnik did a training camp with Indian youngsters on the border of France and Switzerland. It was called the Microsense Kramnik training camp and included youngsters Pragg, Gukesh, Raunak, Leon, Iniyan etc. who were trained by the legendary former World Champion. And now Kramnik is playing against these young talents and seeing their super quick growth to the absolute world elite. In this interview Kramnik speaks about his game against Gukesh and how Pragg does have his chances at the Candidates 2024.

Vlad is not even an indian and has done so much for indian chess. A very good ambassador of the sport.

[@051jatinbhagat]

Not an Indian ? Wdym?

[@pratheekbhat6770]

Let's face it. Lately, he has gone from being an ambassador of the game to someone who has lost everybody's respect.

[@TimeEnergyConsciousness]

Pragg is getting alot of attention but Gukesh could also have achieved all this if Magnus was not in his way. Waiting for another classical tournament where Pragg and Gukesh both play.

[@sivag2032]

Gukesh is a poor rapid player.will not progress unless win classical format

[@MrSaivasu]

@@sivag2032 he is not a poor in literal sense, he is poor when compared to magnus. he would smoke many in the top 10 in any format

I think Praggnananda has better attacking skills

[@user-sx5si5mr6c]

Loved how Sagar is able to talk with these World Champions so amicably and he is so well prepared too. Kramnik was chuckling throughout the whole interview, how many in the world would be able to do that. Sagar's interviews are absolute gems!!

[@Lol-qy1dy]

He keeps good personal connect with everyone, that's make interviews smooth

[@ayushpandey221]

Big Vlad looking bigger from such up close. An absolute legend. ❤

[@Saketsinha4879]

Gukesh ,Pragg and Arjun these 3 going to dominate chess and bring many many happy moments for india for atleast 20 years .

[@seansartor]

During his peak play, Garry said, Kramnik was very difficult to beat.

[@KrishK8055]

Because of Berlin Wall

So true. ​@@KrishK8055

[@venkat4167]

Amazing because Gukesh once trained at Kramnik’s chess camp when he was young

[@anthonybutt2453]

Great interview - Vlad is very modest as his coaching of the young Indian players must have played a big part in their progression & self confidence. 👍

[@SaurabhXDD]

Kramnik should return to OTB chess, he is such a classy player.

[@forsearching]

He messed up with International chess federation itself,

[@jonoxes8662]

Humble, seems like a nice guy. And yea Pragg and Gukesh are crazy players. I think Pragg will be world champion one day if he keeps up like this.

[@MusiclessRJ]

How humbly he praise rivals ❤

[@epicchess2021]

Great interview thanks, Sagar

[@bakuldada7838]

My all time fav player.. never easy match with kramnik..very positionally solid chess..tends to fluff when time is low

[@JaiSriRam879]

Hare Krishna🎉Great to see Prag and Gukesh rising through the ranks so quickly

[@deepoint]

Wow great words from a legend.

[@MrBilal2bil]

Great man trained these youngsters but not willing to take any credit

[@kvrajan765]

He is fantastic person&player

Lovely Wladimir !❤

Kramnik is fantastic human being

[@shackledore]

Such a sweet man

[@kartz2010]

Kramnik and Vishy Anand and very close friends. They go out for dinner together, talk a lot over the phone. They were even reported to have gone to have pizza together in the middle of the night. Kramnik helped Anand with match preparation during his World championship matches. So it's not surprising that when Anand started the Chess Academy, Kramnik visited the place and gave lectures to Anand's students that include Gukesh, Pragg, Erigaisi, Nihal and Raunak

[@kartz2010]

We have to appreciate vishy Anand's influence here. Because he is famous and well connected among the chess elite, people like Kramnik, Boris Gelfand, Artur Yusupov etc agreed to come and work with students in Anand's chess Academy

[@pradyumnsingh6082]

Big Vlad ❤❤❤

it's vladimir imitating pragg

Kranik the legend is so right. Who cares about numbers . But can one defeat the top players. Pragg has proven this more then anyone else

[@keralacitizen]

camera man still moving left and right even in bed..

[@TheDeadNigga]

Just a reminder gukesh is younger than pragg

[@jeanabiazar1183]

Yeah and dude looks like hes 40 with his beard lmao

[@Velvet-ni6pu]
