Sagar, you are THE best interviewer in the chess scene. You do not fish for drama, you make people comfortable while discussing things. That gives us the player’s honest takes without offending or provoking them. Thank you.
100 percent!
Monk✊🏻🤚🏻
He has proved that time and again.. Be it with Kramnik in Olympiad 2024, or with Yakubboev in Tata Steel 2025.
Gukesh vs Magnus will be the highlight of the tournament
But as usual magnus will won
@@Jayshree_Krishna-k7o can't really say man
Tournament name?
@@Jayshree_Krishna-k7olet's see bro
@nihalbhatia491 magnus in theory way stronger but freestyle it's all about understanding position playing anybody game
The best thing is magnus will not forget their wedding anniversary date or his wife birthday date
yup
But takes takes takes if he takes she takes then takes takes and mate
Dude remembers thousands of matches and millions of positions, bold of you to assume that he would forget his wedding anniversary 😂
@@shivanshtripathi976 😌😌
@@shivanshtripathi976 he couldn't spell Ian's last name
Idk why but it feels like magnus is so ready for gukesh 😭😭. Gukesh take the blessings 🙌
Soo true, it’s like magnus has done most preparations for hikaru and gukesh 😂😂
Should be fine seeing Gukesh play in pure chess calculations
1 second into being shown a random position, "oh yeah, ofcourse i remember it", GOAT
Chess base india you actually doing a very great job hatts off you
I’ve literally never seen Magnus this happy before.
Magnus always looks so happy when he talks about Ella, it's so cute ❤❤
The primary reason that Magnus is so good is that he has a phenomenal "visual" pattern recognition, probably the best ever among chess players. His library of patterns must be huge. Not only that but he is able to quickly retrieve from that vast storage. When he looks at a position and says, "I honestly don't know what to make of this position," it means that he is not able to find a close match from his library. It's mind-blowing to realize that he has already visualized a lot of patterns in 960 as evidenced by the exercise that Harshit gave him!
this is your hypothesis, even magnus himself has said he doesn't know what makes him so good so let's not jump the gun just because we're desperate to romanticise his unique chess ability which I do understand is hard to do
I have to agree with that. Magnus has said that he recalls 10,000 games. I think many masters grossly underestimate the benefit of studying lots of older games - something that Magnus clearly put a lot of time into. Raw calculation is important of course but when you have such a massive "library" of patterns as you said it makes it a lot easier.
@ravivaradhan4956 Absolutely....majority of it is practice and learning (nurture) but on a background of extraordinary skills one is born with (nature)❤❤❤
He has insane memorizing abilities!
His thinking process during the opening is instructive
I love how sagar makes everyone to walk in the interview ❤
Harshit seems so nervous
And the fact he sounds so good in the streams just shows the magnus effect
I feel like I never seen Magnus awake, until this video
Underrated comment
Yeah! I thought the same😂
He never looks this fresh 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Magnus is very much prepared,also first time seeing his wedding ring. I just love his confidence.
Always pleasure to see Magnus on this channel!❤️❤️
6:20 Harshit Raja is here 🔥🔥🔥
Magnus is so casual about new world champion 😅
Because he knows he is better than him 😁
Lucky for all players when he did not said "i'll kick em ass3s" 😂 looking for good game..
He is not casual he said he is looking forward to play against the youngsters and gukesh being the youngest and the strongest amongst the youngsters ….. you guys have to put drama in anything… was the fide vs freestyle drama not enough?
He is grounded
Your reaction is like Magnus is new to the game or recently joined top level chess players bruh -_-
Sagar is genius interviewer, lucky for us that he loves chess!
6:20
Aura of 69th Grandmaster from India 🗿🗿🔥🔥
I can read what magnus is thinking when he is talking yo other gm he immediately goes into magnus chess mode very passionate .
Magnusbhai to form me lag rhe hai 🤒
I'm so excited for goki vs magnusbhai
Legends notice the Hikaru's poster in the background🥸🥸
Do you know who is called champion? One who learns from his mistakes, makes loss his motivation and instead of crying over that loss thinks of doing better, because next time when you play, you will have another experience with you which you learn from your own mistake or you will think or do better at that time, that is why for a champion, loss is as important as victory.
So best of luck all champions..
I hope " ahh comment
😊@@LMNV.q13
Magnus go win it the goat legend show who is real champion
The sun view behind magnus looks so beautiful
11:56 Magnus for a reason
It's really great to finally talk about chess again and not about this fide drama. Thank you for focussing the interview on the game.
magnus likes a challenge, looking forward to seeing him v gukesh
Magnus gonna show everyone why he's still goat
He’s so happy 🥹🥹🥹❤❤❤
Great interview, presenting Magnus with the problems was a great idea, so fun to listen to him analyze.🙏
Video quality increased??? Or something different for sure....great sagar sir
One of the best Magnus interviews/segments I've seen. Great job. He seems very mellow.
Good to see open Magnus rather than the old shy one :)
We are going to see Motivated Magnus. Brace yourselves!!!!!! We are here for a treat!!;
He needs a time to break, just drinking a bit of water to reidrate himself. He seems just a bit dry now of chess, my impression.
We got magnus walking interview before gta 6
The goat is back🔥
Sagar is mad for the content 😂😂😂😂😂😂 running after magnus to get interview 😂
but in his videos only 1 out 1000videos have magnus.I think he can get views with gukesh or pragg for sure. dont you think so?? sagar dont need magnus just for content
Love seeing behind the scenes !
Great content ,want to see every participant interview.
Love the idea of testing players on random 960 positions
What a great content. ❤ Amazing
All the best Gukesh D👍🇮🇳🔥
Hmm..he( Magnus) is cool 😮😊
Chess world is so lucky that the Greatest of all time player Magnus Carlsen is still young, if not in prime.
Magnus with the ring on his finger when he was explaining the moves, it's official guys .. he went to the other side
Magnus is so humble man
Go Magnus 💪💪
So excited for gukesh v magnus. Rooting for alireza and nodribek
Magnus is something else
Wish you happy married life and wish you best of luck for the match
Magnus is a monster, he eats positions
kya baat
kudos to you
Harshit is new GENTLEMAN 🎩 ❤❤ Magnus the GOAT 🐐..
damnn never thought magnus would be so cool irl
Is this your first magnus interview that you're watching?
@@ManishSirmour yea that's what i was thinking
@@SmartWatches-xu6rihe is one of the most chill dude in chess world and lazy too
Is Magnus one of the most chill chess dudes - Yes.
Lazy - I guess no. He loves playing physical sports as well - Football, basketball and golf. (But he is definitely laid back.)
@@RudraRaut-b5s
@ i was saying that i was thinking the same thing as manish also i dont think he's lazy, that's just what the laymen who have no chess achievements have come up with about him but to understand if he's actually lazy, you'de have to be a top chess player first
The goat magnus
Truly blessed by the gods
when magnus play h5 in the video against harshit that show its become fight for second place already
4:15 magnus misses hikaru 😂
Great content 💯
It's kind of weird you knowing and bringing up that Magnus met Ella for the first time here
No he didn’t meet Ella for the first time there, it was the first time they were seen together publicly at a tournament.
Magnus looking for revenge since Gukesh beat him last year in this very tournament.
That will be a WAR.
GOAT
Magnus mentioning Hikaru
so its true ??
@@InsightTitanobviously 🌚
Bruhhh still rearrange board as if he was about to playy, some habit can never leave ones body GOAT 🔥
Chessbase India X Magnus!
Will the Freestyle Chess Grand Slam have classical time control or rapid time control?
Faster time control round robin then classical in knockouts.
@@gerrycrisandy2425 Thanks
@@BeerdyBruceLeeCentralclassical time control
GOAT of chess - Magnus
magnus is such a chill dude to be honest. To be great at a game which is all about mental calculation, you would expect the best person to be a bit crazy, but he is basically like bobby fischer without the ocd stuff
That's a perception of people who don't have insight into highly intelligent people's mind and how it operates generally. Elite players are almost all well adjusted socially and mentally stable and much more tougher than average person.
@@rokanza2293 yea i agree, these players are so chill under time pressure. 2 seconds to make a move which decides a tournament and they make the best move.
the avg person can never come close
You watch too many movies.
@@CA-oe1ok ok, i thought i was complimenting magnus, what's with the hate?
@@rokanza2293 highly intelligent people? He is just good in a Board game.
Is it gonna be a classical match
Harshit bhai fans
Sagar clever player himself, very good sharp mind commentator!
CBI coverage is the BEST 👌
11:55 Oh yeah, offcourse I remember that 😂
I know nothing about Ella, but it seems a good fit for him. Hopefully she'll have a positive influence on him and finds the right words sometimes.
Peter is superb Opening coach
Indian time please?
FUN TO SEE
i like his "yah"
ok, so when they showed gukesh the position of his previous game, he doesn't remember the moves but can make the best moves.
magnus remembers each and every move. he is insane, guessing the right moves instantly, finding suitable variations literally instantly. there won't be another player like him.
He's a once in a generation player.
Why Arjun and Pragg or Vidit, Nihal is not Playing in this tournament.?
His age 34
Now,he got married
But he looks like less than 25😮
He always had baby face
4:27
We've got motivated Magnus before Gta VI ☠️☠️
He sounds so much like Roger Federer, similar voice and oration
Like this comment if you support Gukesh in his journey 👇
Will magnus and Gukesh play tomorrow????
Magnus is GOAT of chess of 21 st century. I Don't think anyone will born this century breaking his records. We are lucky to live in his good times.
Do you even know what goat means ?
@@LMNV.q13 17 world championship i mean yeah he is only decent player don't know why people call him GOAT😢
@@LMNV.q13maybe someone who achieved 2881 fide rating
Lost respect for Magnus ..
He didn’t want to defend his title but he wants to play the title holders immediately after they’ve gone through gauntlet’s to prove he’s better ..
Harshit bhai football khelney ko nahi boley... professional op
Duniya Ko choro , You Reach Every corner of the world ... Sagar Shah Hats Off You Are SO Much Dedicated and Thanks A Lot Sagar Bhai You Are Like My Big Brother Thank You Sagar Bhai
Will it be a shared title?
Magnus started to think less for winning 😂
Magnus : Of course I remember this
OF COURSE GENIUS GOAT YOU DO !!!
Magnus accent is like a young Arnold Schwarzenegger.....😂
when is the event ( live coverage ) starting in Indian time ?
5 or 5:30 something
Very interesting. Weissenhaus is 40km from me here and a very unexcited area 🙂...funny to see this here.
For a second there, I thought he was gonna rap and say he's the chess badboy or something
G.O.A.T!!
When does stream starts in india?
