The famous Larsen-Spassky match from USSR vs World in 1970 was annotated by Spassky in Informator Vol. 9

[@neodro4831]

He knew the history well of the game of chess and worked his way by process of elimination - great qs and well answered by Emil

[@ayushkp.official]

Sagar bhai ki chess world mein itni chalti hai ki he can play such a game with CEO of FIDE. 💀 He is truly a DON. 😈

[@shivasundar]

I guessed Keres! Got some of the earlier ones. For the 15th question with Fischer, I knew about the telegraph tournament story - about why and how he had to do it - but did not know the interesting story. Good job Sagar, very rare questions.

[@the_wrong_note]

Never knew Tom Hanks is so good at chess trivia.

[@blackman7186]

This was actually very nice content as I got to know a deeper chess lore, history and some general knowledge of chess. Great work.

[@kuchbhikahinbhi712]

Emil take so much from magnus's lap dog but always maintains his dignity. kudos to him

[@jaikarpan]

Emil is too goid in chess trivia, he got struck on the junior, Georgia and Fischer at the Capablanca open questions...was quite surprised that he had to workout the answer for the 1st question...which he did with quite an ease....Thanks Sagar for the oppurtunity to be part of this.

[@SaakarChess]

KBC in IOM?? epic, great answers by Emil, loved the episode!🥰

[@MagnusElm]

Regarding question 13. A hint was that the City is in Europe, but the city is in Asia.

[@waqaryounus7339]

This was very very very good.. Pure chess knowledge..

[@jtekholm]

That GSM "incoming call" sound brought me a flash of nostalgy.

[@amraut]

14:53 WIkipedia says it was 2011, the last win!

[@whoisbhauji]

unbelievably good!

[@intercalz]

a million times more exciting than who wants to be a millionaire. And Emil rocks.

[@marvisvaidhyanathan4794]

Nice quiz. Though it is to be noted that Spassky has annotated a few games in the informator.

[@divyanshuchadha8210]

And here i am not able to remember what i studied for the exam last night

[@superman2000]

Much deserving person to be the CEO of FIDE

[@aradhyagarg1863]

Topalov became World Champion in 2005 and lost the match in 2006. Quite confused with that one.

[@user-xe3nh8ms4z]

Emily knows his stuff.

[@Vinavive]

very good. can you do one with Ben Finegold?

[@sirishp4156]

Wow!!

[@kaushubh18]

It's a Wow..!!!

[@chessloverontwitch]

I want to enter this!

[@mishthiagarwal1680]

Mr beast base india😂

[@mmdurante1616]

He did a little better than me.

[@ekamsingh5138]

I think Botvinik also defeated fischer and capablanca

[@marvisvaidhyanathan4794]

Almost but not. Botvinnik defeated Capablanca but was held to a draw by Fischer. Botvinnik played only one game against Fischer.

[@hiddencuber2250]

I guess he gets ₹100😂

[@swastiksahoo7649]

Sagar shah spoilt 11:36. But it still commendable

[@harigovind4723]

He is like jay shah in cricket 😂

[@readmycomment101]

Jay Shah won't know much about cricket history, his age is only 35... apart from that he was a businessman..

[@QuietlyCaptivating]

No

[@anantchirmade600]

No, I bet Jay shah cant answer same levels of questions about cricket which Emil answered for Chess

[@adityapacharne5688]

Jay shah is a scumbag, don't compare Emil with Jay.

[@ashwani.kumar.sharma]

What rubbish! Comparing a former 2700 knowledgable GM with a non-cricketing idiot holding a cricket post.🤣
