[@mrsarthak302]

I know chess since the age of 9 But started playing online and watching chess tournaments because of Samay

[@zeus3086]

Guess you have 220IQ

[@bsumanth495]

If sagar bhai was not introduced, I would have cried today🤕. We all should agree that chessbase India has brought chess to such a big level among Indians, by making people understand the positions with their incredible commentary. Really great work, amruta bhabhi and sagar bhai

[@sampatkedia5499]

Seriously... Both of them streaming for insane hours (in case of multiple chess events in the world) shows their profound love for the game... They are too crazy, man... Just ❤️❤️❤️

SAGAR SHAH DIDNT PLAYED CHESS AT THE COMPETITION LEVEL JUST TO STREAM AND ANALLYSE THE GAMES FOR HIS VIEWERS!!! THAT WAS HIS PASSION!! EVEN DONATION MONEY FROM MEMBERSHIP MAKES TO SHOW THAT HOW MUCH HAS HE UPLIFTED THE GAME IN THE COUNTRY AND INSPPIRED SO MUCH PEOPLE!!

I'm so proud of how far chess popularity has come. People may say Samay's role in growth was meh but honesty he made everyone including Anand Mahindra fall in love with the game. Now I may not get time to watch chess streams but I play 3-4 games everyday just because I have started to love the game. Also, we cannot forget the man, as Samay said his "partner-in-crime" Sagar bhai. He is the reason I found beauty in the game. I write this long comment with tears in my eyes and prayer & wishes in my heart for success of this league

[@jayasurian123]

Chess base is a big brand. Sagar is leading it with his dedicated work for Indian wing. Samay is someone who got luckily added to the friends circle of Sagar. There are 1000s of hard working chess promoters are there. Its just a pure luck he got the recognition to be in the team. After that he put his effort because he saw the business. Without Chessbase brand and Sagar no one in chess world know Samay! I give all credit to Sagar.

[@anujsingh6512]

Can you explain what has happened here i don't know the context of why Mahindra sir met with Sagar and samay

[@maheshkumarmc970]

​​@@anujsingh6512 During lockdown, samay and sagar together streamed chess Olympiad and watching went upto 1 lakh and Anand Mahindra happened to be one of the viewers and he tweeted about this and tagged samay and said we can do something together and later an online meeting was held and samay, sagar, Anand discussed and came up with this league thing.

[@maheshkumarmc970]

​@@jayasurian123 lolll😂... Without samay who would have known abt chessbase India( see their views) and chess players. Give credit where it's due... Samay is the sole reason for the chess boom and in addition of sagar and other chess players it went up

[@berserk322]

@@jayasurian123 never knew about sagar or played chess. Without samay lakhs of people wouldn't have cared for chess. He made it popular.

[@MagicBunnyGamer]

2:08 is my favourite moment. ❤ #iykyk

[@sootheseeker]

The most underrated reason as to why samay and sagar are the very best in the business.

[@naalayak]

Broooo, It feels like a family member achieving great things; I'm so proud of you❤✨ Samay left an impact on everyone he came across(Good or Bad you choose😆)

[@RashmiSharma-ko7rd]

From COB to this, Chess has come a long way

[@dharmikthanki7412]

This was going to be the longest ever conversation of Samay without a joke until Anand ji said "Now you are a good chess player"

[@pranitgandhi6832]

Words cannot describe the feeling that I had after watching visuals of Samay and Sagar with the man himself, Mahindra sir! This is soooooo surreal

[@pratichi26]

Can't stop gushing about how wonderful this is! And I am so glad that the work Samay and Sagar and everyone else has put in is being acknowledged while building upon things. My favourite part of the video though is when everyone else is joking about last minute preparations, Samay is the one who is anxious and serious about wanting to get some practice in. Shows it wasn't just a dream in passing, he's actually so invested in this. Congratulations on coming this far guys, and good wishes for a successful event! Super proud fan! ❤

[@amritmund2844]

Was a viewer of Samay's first stream, and seeing this now gives me goosebumps. It’s like I was a part of his journey. I subscribed to him after he announced while playing pubg on tanmay's channel that he'll upload videos once he reaches 10k subs. He was having about 5 to 6k subs when I subscribed. I wanted to see more of samay he felt like a great guy on Tanmay's streams. Then ig he did a few pubg streams and then came the chess stream with Balraj ghai. And it’s been a crazy crazy journey since then! Way to go Samay ❤️
