Oh, Sagar, this one is definitely going viral.
❤❤❤❤
We love you Anish 🥹🥹❤️
Before the reply thread is full, please solve the mystery. Did you take that pawn from Gukesh's table that fine day?
@@niteshchaudhary7158 But why are you telling this to Anish?
AG OP!❤🎉
Ag ag we love ag
I've never seen a thing of Gukesh's parents, but I just know they are so proud of his character. They did a great job raising & teaching him.
His father always accompanies him to the tournaments he plays in. Maybe you saw a bit of him in the videos.
There is a long good interview Sagar did during the Chennai olympiad with Dr Rajnikanth, Guki's father.
You might have seen a man around 50 alongside him in many videos. He was also in that sponsorship video Sagar uploaded. In that video there was Westbridge head talking to Gukesh and his father
Also if you are talking in general you have never seen them then there are 2 videos of them. One was probably 6 yrs ago and another one 2 yrs ago. Just search Gukesh parents maybe (I don't remember how I got that on my feed.. It was on Chessbase India)
@@Phoenix.219 you are right
“I was more prepared to face the chaos” Gukesh D. What an inspiration, this boy only at 17 knocking at the door of the world championship. Wish the best for him
Totally agree. Gukesh was my favorite prodigy kid, but honestly never expected he would be at this stage this soon. Thought it would take 2 more years atleast. Just amazing performance from him, especially the way he remained calm throughout, it was simply awe inspiring.
And it's not just him either. Nodirbek, Arjun Pragg & Keymar, all of these kids are doing excellent as well. Really feels like we entered a new era of chess now.
@@kunalsingh4418 Mine as well, and I’ve been watching his games closely ever since the last Olympiad, his game has definitely evolved since then. For eg the contrast from his Olympiad game against Nodirbek to his game against Hikaru in the last round of the candidates is striking, he knows when to push for a win and when to shut down his opponents play and is more calm and collected. I am rooting for him do well in the world championship and he definitely has what it takes to be a champion.
84% voted in favour of uploading the video now.
Sagar: We should also respect minority 16%.
He is secular 😅
Secular ❌ *Stupid ✅@@the_moonlight.
Decision was already made. He just wanted to gain interaction for the video I suppose...
Life is unfair
@@the_moonlight.do you even understand what secular means🤣
Amazing kid!!! Doesn't behave or talk like a teenager. India people should be proud not only of the quality of his chess, but also his remarkable personality. Congrats, and a big hug from Argentina
Disrespecting the 84% majority from the community poll😂😂😂😂
no, he is
Lol
Life is unfair

39:06 Sagar shah's Dad Jokes for Amruta 😂This is impact of Samay 🗿
😂
This dude became my fav chess player in a matter of 1 tournament. Sorry Magnus
Same but second favourite. My fav is still Vidit.
@@Anonymous-8080 magnus is THE GOAT, you are still hasty calling him great , Gukesh won bcos fabi messed up
@@spreadtrader19297even if fabi won they would've played a tiebreak and in tiebreak under pressure anyone could win irrespective of your rating. Btw nobody is saying that gukesh is great . he was just saying that gukesh became his favorite player which is completely different. Everyone knows gukeshbis just starting and has a very long way to become a great
Well everyone has opinion with their favorites, so it doesnt needs to match your choice@@spreadtrader19297
And you'll become a Ding fan if he retains his WC
That's pathetic
You don't appreciate skills
You are a fan of the winners
03:40. Exact thing I thought. During the dinner with Vishy, everyone was astonished when he said he prefers a rest day after a loss than a win. Also, HE was astonished that everyone else thought he was weird thinking so. I knew then that he was a different kind. High level of maturity and intelligence.
Sagar's happiness is boundless. Interviewed Guki as a young boy, whose dream was to be the youngest world champion. Now, interviewing him as the youngest challenger; Sagar is living this boy 's dream. CBI has captured all those moments 😊😊😊
He is so comfortable and cheerful with Sagar and amruta.... Love to see him like this... Vamos Gukesh!!!❤
Highly appreciate Sagar and Amruta for smartly keeping the whole interview an interweave of chess and non-chess questions. That made it so palatable for a non-specialist audience.

Thank you so much
36:59 dragon wake up💥💥📐
Bhai…Gukesh made everyone so proud…
Make me rethink about life in general 😊
Gukesh - Underrated Legend
Rooting for you to bring the crown back home boy
Legend? 🤔😂
Gukesh isn’t talked about enough. A 17 yeard old World Champion contender should be mentioned way more than Alireza and Prag.
It just happened tho lol. And now that it happened, he is getting a ton of praise. Alireza was youngest ever 2800, so he deserved to be talked about.
what? the whole world is celebrating him
It's a great achievement under pressure, but it is only one tournament. An incredibly difficult tournament, but don't count your chickens before they're hatched, he's not champion yet!
And even if he wins, it will be an extraoardinary feat, but there will be an asterisk because Magnus is still considered the world's best player.
@@2ndavenuesw481 so who asked Magnus to not play or defend his title 🤔 always crying about the format 😂 and recently he's been annihilated in classical by many lower rated players and gukesh also beat him recently so he's not invincible
Gukesh seems so comfortable in this interview compared to others.
Because he knows Sagar bhai since he was a child.
Sagar and Amruta are like close family members to him. Amruta and Sagar took Gukesh and other child prodigies to Europe to get trained by Kramnik. Sagar and Amruta were like their guardians who took care of them throughout that tour. This and many other interactions have developed a close bond among them.
@@atulbesra822 That's great to know 👍🏻
There is a famous interview of Gukesh by Sagar when he was 9 years old. To a question 'What do you want to become?' Gukesh saying "The youngest world champion in the world"
I have learned more about life from this 17 year old than any other self-help book.
India has some very strong and young chess players. I'm looking forward to next year's matches also. Congrats India and much love from the states.
He is just 17 and very disciplined after winning such a huge competition. One thing I like about him is his humbleness and honesty. I pray for Guki to win the world championship against Ding and complete his dream.❤️
Sagar bhai, please do a similar interview with Pragg and Vidit. They both played a tremendous tournament and gave it their all. We should be very proud of all of them.
Gukesh is one of a kind. It is hard to overstate his many qualities as a wonderful human being-with great humility but a sparkle of humor and indomitable will. I would be honored to meet him in person some day.
I just finished the whole interview.... I wish I could be a focused person like him.... But I bow down to your resilience ,patience and mental toughness... Love you Gukesh for every thing you have provided... 🙏❤🇮🇳
Hes still a teenager and he has such a mature personality, honestly such a warm personality
What Gukesh has done in Toronto is phenomenal. As much as I was rooting for Hikaru in the past 3 weeks, Gukesh has shown why he is now an elite player and deserves to be appreciated as such. He might well be the youngest World Champ, but I think Ding will put up a good fight.
This is worth watching....better than anything right now ❤
*Hare Rama😍What a moment this is! Undoubtedly the Biggest moment of chess in recent times! Huge Congratulations to my brother Gukesh🌟U made History🌟*
I am so impressed with how wise he is at his age. A true inspiration.
Gukesh is a natural talent so intelligent answer comes from him naturally. Admissibly inspirational..
Gukesh mentioned he found b5 b4 himself on the board....and many commentator mentioned on live stream that__probably gukesh had seen this idea before_.....amazing
In fact - *Magnus* couldn't even imagine that Gukesh hadn't seen this idea before.
@@ShikharSrivastava yes, infact he said that if gukesh have found this idea over the board than its really impressive..
@@ManishSharma-bp7rg yep!
Not surprised. He is D "very clever boy" Gukesh after all. 😂
Gukesh, I am impressed by your maturity and the way you are appreciating the supporters and articulating your thoughts, many adults need to learn from you.
I have been binge-watching Gukesh interviews on various media channels, but trust me, this interview feels like three close friends just hanging out and discussing chess. We as an audience can see the bonding between you guys.
Sagar and Amruta, you guys are legends. You have dedicated your lives to chess. Huge, huge respect, and you deserve all the success and more to come. This is just the start.
Gukesh ❤
Gukesh never feels that comfortable in other interviews, so this one is surely gold
Congratulations gukesh.
Our media doesnt care about anything outside cricket.
Actually not literally every news channel broadcasted his achievements yesterday.
I seriously love the fact that after every game Gukesh arranges the pieces, it's such a good thing to give that respect to the game ❤
Reminds me of Japanese fans cleaning the stadium after their game. Top tier mentality.
This was brilliant. Guki looked so comfortable, love the depth of the conversation and analysis!
Great interview! Seems like it was shot on the same Round 14 day. Kudos to Amruta btw. She streamed the entire night that day and then hopped onto this two-hour interview!
Thank you for this interview! I love your UA-cam channel and have now become a supporting member. You did an excellent job with the live broadcasts of the Candidates, I enjoyed watching Gukesh - and also Prag and the other players and watching your heartfelt conversations, commentary on the channel LIVE. Great.
Best regards from Southern Germany
Gukesh is the inspiration❤.
39:00 Sagar Shah noticed how Gukesh puts his knoghts but has no idea about Amrita. This man operates on a different dedication level.
Gukesh looks more mature than his age...
So people take it granted...
But can u guyz believe...he is just 17 yrs old..with so much calm n composed posture..... amazing ❤what were we doing at 17yrs age😢
I dint know that i will watch a interview this long without pausing it, kudos to CBI team and to Gukesh for spending time late night after winning the tournament for this interview.
How could anyone stop admiring this man since he has got so many things to learn about and look upto.
A legendary video.
Sagar bhai, amazing thumbnail and video editing. Thanks ❤
Hey gukesh,
In your crisp white shirt, like a canvas of delight,
Your mustache adds allure, setting hearts alight.
With a glint in your eyes as you gaze with affection,
Your smile, a beacon of warmth and connection.
With every word you speak, you mesmerize the crowd,
In your effortless elegance, you stand tall and proud.
Thank you for this stream guys!
I watched it fully😍… Soo happy for Gukesh..
Hearty Congratulations Gukesh. Wish you many many more laurels. Wish you break all the records.
I love the way he say "but yaah"❤ to youngest challenger I hope you'll be youngest champion 🏆 prayers from India 🇮🇳
Very Satisfying SLAP on the people who only supported vidit and pragg only and overlooked Gukesh ! Very Very satisfying. Just Loved it. Now win the championship Gukesh! 🏆
Tbh Vidit and Pragg were more known to people. Gukesh was always underrated one. 😊
I'll be honest i was one of them..
Please don't bring this toxicity into chess , chess was good underrated
❤❤❤❤❤
Gukesh OP once again. Also, CBI OP as always! You can see how comfortable he is with Sagar and Amruta.
My favourite bit of this is the absolute pride on Amruta's face through out. ❤️🤗
congratulations Gukesh and all of India for your great chess master, greetings from Argentina
Congratulations Gukesh on achieving this exciting feat. Besh wishes for the championship.
You made the country very proud. Kudos
So proud of you gukesh. Congratulations ❤❤
Great to see Sagar and Amrutha right from winning moment to the end of this video❤
Proud and god bless you and health and wealth to you ayiur family gukesh dear. Soon accomplish your dream and sucess for more dreams in future. Congratulations to win WC and next tgt Magnus game.
गुकेश हार्दिक अभिनंदन विजयी झाल्याबद्दल पण तुला विश्व विजेते पद जिंकावं लागेल आणि प्रग्नाआनंद कार्ल सन बरोबर फायनल हरला होता प्राग छान खेळला होता पण तुला डिंग ला हरवायचच आहे तुला खूप खूप शुभेच्छा ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
This is incredible. Thanks Gukesh for his openness and kindness.
Gukesh, if you ever read this. One advantage Magnus always had was being in good physical form. This helps for long games or tournaments etc. I think you got a good base for this. Wishing you all future success!
Even Magnus had to stop and give praise to the pawn to B4 move by Gukesh.
All the best Gukesh for the WC. You've done the whole country proud.
I had no idea about Gukesh or candidates before this result. But watching this video gave me all the information I was missing. ❤
He has such class!!
Gukesh ❤️❤️❤️
Love you bro you made all of us proud
Thanks gukesh for giving us this moment. Thanks sagar, amruta, cbi team for excellent coverage.
Kudos u r deserve Gukesh ❤proud to be an Indian 🎉🎉

One of the best most entertaining, insightful and honest interviews ever of Gukesh! Gukesh really feels at home with Sagar and Amruta. 🌱🙏🏼
Best best interview ever. I have been obsessed with chess and Gukesh in the last 3-4 days that I literally watched all the videos in those days. Congratulations to Gukesh and Chess Base India (Sagar and Amruta) You guys are phenomenal 🩷
Watching this in the evening. What a great interview. This gives in depth insight into the entire tournament from Gukesh himself. I am extremely thankful to chessbase india for this video. It's made my day.
Thanks to God and Force was with Gukesh. Hearty Congratulations
Kinda emotional... Kudos man.. what a gem
Gukesh has revitalized interest for Chess in the country (India). People were wide awake even at 5:00 AM, following the match through the night.
He is superhuman, the more u hear him more it becomes evident.
You can see as the interview goes on that Sagar believes he’s talking to the future World Champion. And honestly I see it too, Gukesh’s maturity on and off the board especially, is incredibly impressive.
Gukesh is truly an inspiration ❤
We are proud of you Gugesh ❤
so proud of Gukesh you are the inspiration for younger generation
Gukesh is so humble! What a guy!
Sagar looks so keenly towards Gukesh just like an admirable girlfriend when her boyfriend speaks.
Yo Gukesh ❤❤. Watching all his videos
Gukesh has made us so proud! Waiting for Prag, Nihal and Arjun to make us proud too.
We need one interview or podcast with gyayevski
