They had more trouble calculating the concept of "fun" than they do complex lines
1 thought fun means funny. what about bong cloud?
ahahahahaha true that
@@JonJon-ut5zy That is not necessarily fun. It is just ridiculous.
LOL... underrated comment :D
@@JonJon-ut5zy I think she means openings that get to fun positions they enjoy
This is one of the best chess press conference videos I've seen, an interesting question that gets them talking about the game they love. Usually it's just "how did you feel when you blundered?" "bad"
Your comment made me laugh more than the video itself. It's like that for every sport when they don't even ask the question, just like to torture/provoke
I saw this press conference for the lakers and it was so awkward, the reporters asked the coach “The team is going to fire you, they will tell you tomorrow. What’s your initial reaction? “
These reporters are ruthless
It was so bad at the world championships lol
One of the first questions after Ding won was if he enjoyed the weather....
I love how Ding starting laughing after hearing that 1.c4 is supposed to be bad bc it blocks the bishops diagonal haha
It reminds me of the WC 9th match in which Nepo lost because his bishop was trapped 😂😂.
@Gil Monteverde most most probably because, playing c4 is one of the best lines ever, if ye wanna develop yer bishop to c4 after one or two moves. But of course, these variations were found later on, so those 15th century GM's were very deadly wrong.
Best moment of the interview. It reminded me of the 1st round of this tournament when Nepo won against Ding's 1.c4 😉😅😅
fischer would be happy to hear that maybe? xD as he liked to play bc4
@Gil Monteverde The joke is that Ding loves playing the English opening (1.c4)
I think radjabov is the least awkward super gm
I mean Rapport is not too awkward compared to the others either but yeah, Radja is the most normal
@@amirb.2287 Rap sometimes makes awkward jokes
anish and magnus are cool too
@@Jafar_maher anish is occasionally rude IMO and i dont think hes as funny as he thinks he is. Is Danya considered a super GM? He is not at all awkward. On the other end of the spectrum Dubov seems like hed be fun to be around
Disagrees in Anish
Anna winning the candidates with 1. Ask a question and the super GMs all flag trying to calculate the concept of fun.
This girl is so amazing, she brings a smile to everyone in the room, just look how everyone instantly smiles while she is talking. Thats super cool to watch, she has a Joy 'vibe'
@pianist1408 what a weird comment to make..
The main thing I remember about her is leaving her opponent in the middle of the game at the park when Magnus appeared
Probably why she's successful at what she does
@pianist1408 weirdo
Love watching Radjabov up there!!
0:26 Ian is like: "so you guys are having fun playing?" 😂
Looks like a fun press conference. Only Anna seems to have covered this event. Haven't found the full interview nowhere other than in Anna's Twitch Vod. Thanks Anna! 👍
The Awkward Silence at 0:28 and Nepo's smirk makes it hilarious along with the question 😆😆
Now we know that Ding's favourite is London
It’s not even close, obviously the bongcloud. It’s the only opening where both opponents die of laughter after playing it.
What a great question! Tuning in into the press conferences after the wcc games (I’m new to chess) it’s been shocking how bad the questions have been, whether it’s from ‘Twitter’ or actual journalists. Makes me cringe every time
“This one time, at band camp…”. Good question though.
I had fabi Rojabov and ding my top 3.... I feel like I can do anything now 😅
Radjabov really used his time and energy to answer to the question. The rest were more like 'whatever' :D Kudos to Radjabov here!
The petrov obliviously
Radja didn't say kings Indian 😭
The Danish and the From Gambit (Fromme). I was playing a GM online in 3 minute many years ago, and he claimed to not know
what the From was. I told him the moves and he says oh that looks ugly. But black usually gets a great attack.
King's gambit for the win
😄😄 best Interview..never saw Ding loughing bevore
White: f3 and g4
Great question actually
Well, _that_ was awkward... took them about 15 seconds straight before one of them unenthusiastically answered Anna's question. Seemed to me like they didn't want to be there 😅
Whet we can watch fullvideo
Ding be like
" I can probably draw or take advantage in move 36th if i go through this opening 🤨"
Both Answers The Londunnnn Sisteme 😂
Anna was this conference broadcasted ?
Should’ve said the bongcloud imho
She is adorable
Anna honestly has the best questions to ask in these conferences filled with dumb ahh chess journalists with dumb ahh questions.
My God, have mercy on us.
Ding é monstro demais🐉
Is it just me, or does Teimour look a bit like Soldier Boy from the Boys?
So I once told Roman Dzindzindzxqvxxx..., whatever the hell his name is, that I liked openings like the Danish Gambit, and could he recommend other fun openings like that? He didn't answer my question, just responded with, "You must not play fun openings! You must play boring openings like Reti and Ruy Lopez so that you learn correct chess!", spraying me with spittle when he got to the "correct chess" part. "But, sir," I persisted, "As I have neither the aspirations nor the talent to become a world class player, wouldn't it be okay to..." but he only only cut me off with, "Do not argue with me, I am Russian grandmaster!"
Don't bring up the idea of making chess fun with these guys. With them, chess is the antithesis of fun. You spent five or six hours moving your pieces around in exhausting concentration, and most of the time you end up with no winner. It's no wonder Carlsen is burned out.
what do u mean "these" guys?
Гроб! Гроб не щадит никого!
London obviously
Opportunity to say Jerome's gambit, was declined by all 3
Danish Gambitt ofc
not a single bong cloud...
no one said bongcloud?
Ding cant turn it off lol
Ding is smthng else😀
Nepo is dead inside.... Plssss fight him mags!!!!!!
Ding💔💔💔
WHAT! NO EVANS GAMBIT?
I love Ding's concentration face as he thinks over the correct answer regarding which openings he thinks are the most fun.
😂😂
No he doesnt speak english very well and is trying to understand what thevothers are saying
He is too wholesome
He's stuck @2:30 lol
Fun is a serious matter
Mean while .Ding calculating solid lines in those funny opening😁
not ding recommending kings indian for black while having some of the best results as white in that opening 💀💀
Ding is trying to calculate the meaning of the word "fun".
Anna ask a question
Nepo:-i am introvert🙂
Ding:-🤨
Radja:-🎤🎤
Ding: 🤔
Haha. Ding: I'm ever more introverted than Nepo
I don't like the guy in the middle. He talks too much
Radjabov: "um the Danish is funny"
Nepo: *nerds out about the history of chess and players being comically wrong about what was playable, also tries to set up Ding to discuss the english*
Ding: "uh kings indian and sicilian"
I thought Radjabov was talking about the Jaenisch Gambit
I think he said "Jaenisch gambit" aka Schliemann (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f5), not the Danish.
@@man0utoftime go find other duties to get on, than chess man. It only kills time.
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius You mean chess is nothing more than a time consuming hobby with no actual benefits?
Jaenisch, not danish. that's why they were taking about the king's gambit with the f pawn move similar in the jaenisch.
Ding's idea of 'fun' is 'complicated but playable'
I mean, not so easy but not so hard, i think it's fair
It kind of felt like suddenly they were like: There was this one time when..., and that type of thing is nice, because it shows that the question got them thinking. They all answered the questions very well.
Yea whatever.... Its chess anyways.... Who cares about it? Go find some much more important and more interesting duties to be busy with.
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius you can troll better than that buddy
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.GeniusWho cares about football or baseball?
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius hahaha! you play c4, huh?
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius You don't need to be mocking anyone, go to your basement and play videogames
love how Ding's calculating all the lines he ever played, to decide which is the most fun to play
Ding was calculating the response whole moment
Everynight I give Jenna Fischer pleasure.
Such an original comment
Radjabov looks like John Wick 🤣🤣🤣 he killed Nakamura's and Ding's hopes in the second half of the tourney.
Really is that why Hikaru also beat him once!!!
At first sight I though he was John Frusciante...
@@coldman7835 well Hikaru beat him in the first half... But he dealt a huge blow to Nakamura's chances after retaliating in the second half
Hi killed also Mamedyarov for win Norway chess
@@raufabdullayev7194 lol didn’t expect that srsly
They had 90 minutes to answer, and then another 30 minutes after the 40th word
The comment is timeless.
also 30 sec. increment after every word
@@davidcopson5800 It literally mentions two different times how is that timeless...
@@SuperKamikrazy Whoooosh!
1:30 seems like Ding took b6 too serious, while radja was talking he is calculating the possible outcomes 😀
kkkkkk, very nice
Always enjoyable to see Grand Masters, laughing and being very accessible and down to earth, Great question also,
Glad to see such a huge smile on Ding's face though we all know the correct answer is the Grob (g4).
100% agree
Grob über alles!
Und
"Grob mit uns"
You should ask this question to Hikaru, he would talk a lot about variants of BongCloud openings.
Sorry but theres Only room for the 3 best players of the candidates
Why Naka is not on the panel since he tied 3rd place with Radja????
@@ultrasound1459 radja had better tiebreaks
@@nah7574 damn bro
@@ultrasound1459 wake up, dont let your fanatiscm blind you, naka got 4th place lmao
Anna, great work during the Candidates. Lots of hard work and excellent content! Grattis.
Hard work? Gimme a break.... Its just chess, dude. Go find more important stuff to do.
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius so many flavors and you chose to be salty
Better than "how does the knight move?"
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius come on dude you are just in every comment section trying to get hated, why dont just leave people have a good time whit something we enjoy? Unless you were rapped by a chess player then i can understand the search of hate xD
Ding praying he doesn't have to speak.
If Hikaru was there he would have said bong cloud. And such a nice question by Anna, they're probably thinking nobody has asked us about having fun. 😂
Why isn't Hikaru there though? He finished joint third with Radjabov.
@@arkabanerjee1091 I guess he wasn't in the mood right after the loss against ding
Excellent question! Very difficult to get Grandmasters to speak that much.
Some GMs are very outgoing.
Indeed. Because chess kills time and in return, doesn't give ye that much. Actually, playing chess only makes ye good at the features that would be benefical to only, well, play chess. So it takes many mental faculties, social abilities, many art, nature, travel etc... opportunities from ye, unless ye are very rich somehow.
@@orlock20 naah, not really.
@Jul W naaah, when its the case of GMs, they're socially awkward or at the very least: very intra-personas generally.
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius Does chess really bother you so much?
Excellent try guys but the answer we were looking for is Evan’s Gambit 😀
You need the co-operation of your opponent for that.
@@davidcopson5800 all openings require cooperation
Wrong. The Lucchini Gambit
I wonder if Antonio asked them that if they would know to answer Evans to play into Agadmator's line (of questioning)
@@SeanDot not the bongcloud
Enjoy with friends and family 👍🙏☺️
Wow, she actually managed to break the tension on the conference 👏👏😁 Big applauds
It's her great smile
"You cannot excel at anything without the element of fun " _ Magnus Carlsen
Ofc they still have fun with the main lines..
For me i have alot of fun playing Ruy Lopez ..
But u have to define what fun is..
For some people fun can be playing positional games whereas others it can be sharp games
So it's kinda one dimensional to think about fun as being only attacking sharp games
Yea whatever.... Its just chess anyways.... 6 stone types and 64 squares.... Who cares about it anyways? Go find much more important duties to do and much funnier ones.
I love to lose playing siciliana psycho defense
@@santiagomorales9129 I am bitter because people love to waste their energy, time and money on unnecessary stuff
@@Dave.Mustaine.Is.Genius yet you still waste your time commenting on a chess vid while being an obvious troll 🤔
That's why I liked this open question. They could define fun themselves and would reveal part of that to us through their answers. Do they choose an aggressive gambit, an opening leading to a highly positional game, an opening with tons of traps (think what Eric Rosen would respond), or still something else?
Nice question.
"What is the most fun line? "
Ding Lirenator, ".... these are most complex, and also playable"
We are very proud of you Teymur.. Happy for our country and nation and even for the chess world that we have you.. Which bring irreplacable taste into the chess.. 🇦🇿🇦🇿🔥🔥🔥
Qatılıram 🇦🇿🇦🇿
In the video, GM Teimour Radjabov answer the question best, but all the 3 chess players are great.
I think Carlsen once open irregular with 1. a3. Openings like that are funny.😂
Wow thank you Anna for this question! I was not expecting that much, specially with Nepo who doesn't share so much and Ding whose english is still limited. Radja gave for a time the most answers, citing some of the usual suspects. And suddenly the sun came out of the dark night, Nepo recalled that Lucena anecdote and Ding bursted out laughing genuinely. It's not only that the Engludh opening is one of Ding's favorite, it's that in the very 1st game of the Candudates Tournament Nepo won against Ding's 1.c4.
I'm not sure Nepo said this on purpose but Ding certainly remembered and "aporeciated". What a great moment!
Interestingly my 2 of my 3 favorites players (not a pronostic, just the players I like most) ended on the podium: Ding and Radja. The 3rd one is my favorite overall butI was not exoecting much because he played much too much in the last 6 months: Richard Rapport.
it seems Ding was just about to say the funniest thing about openings but then he heard "thank you" and regret
yeah :(
For ding, attacking is fun, which is why he said sicillian i guess.
*poor ding ..nobodys smile when he joke, or nobodys understandg?*
too advanced jokes...
I didn’t follow the whole section, but I feel like your question really touched their memories, their emotional connection to the game. Thank you for bringing that joy!
Ding really says kings india whahahaha 😂😂😂😂.
So cute❤️
It's a good question, as it got them talking a little amongst themselves and having a little fun joking about ding's likely answer
Ding was truly perplexed by the question.
Nobody ever asks: "So outside of chess, do you have any hobbies?"
Nepo likes to play DOTA
We need smart and calm politicians like them :)
That's crazy! They would actually work and be of some use, that's not the world i'm living in.
Yeah, but most people prefer Trump-types, lol...xD
*We need politicians who are calm and smart like them :)*
It not the problem of quality with them, its the quantity. Correct is zero.
King's Gambit is the only correct answer.
Jaenisch Gambit is really cool!
In case you donr know it: 1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 f5!?
Radjabov has even played it in official games!!
I thought he said Danish
Cultured folk call it the Schliemann
This BTW not a gambit
@@amandeepsinghflora5228 he said Jaenish Gambit, since he has played it in some games. I don't think any top GM has played the Danish gambit in modern times.
@@anamikadaschoudhury9479 Tbh it is a gambit, in some lines white can maintain the pawn. Though white is better off leaving it.
They all call him "Ding". He must feel so awkward. That's so NOT the Chinese way to talk to people. It's so culturally insensitive, and he's such a sweet, shy guy that he would never ask anyone to change what they call him.
How are you supposed to refer to him?
Yeah I’m curious too
@@raccoon1160 It's tricky because of the cultural differences. Addressing someone with their full name is weird in languages of Europe/the Americas, but it's extremely common in Chinese - even romantic partners will say full names to each other sometimes. So the best options are to call him "Ding Liren" or, if they are friendly, "Liren". I can't think of an analogy for what calling him "Ding" is like, but it's just kind of weird and he's already shy enough! 🙂
@@gnashr4366 Sure. I replied below.
@@markcouture4726 Interesting. Is "Ding" like a last name?
The interviewer wouldn’t let Ding finish the answer.
Yes.. 😒
Rude 😑
I think it’s more that she was unsure when he was done and was trying to help bail the slightly awkward response
Hmmn this is fun.
Nepo should of said "Maybe some H4/A4 nonsense"
Nepo faces are so funny: 🙂☹️🙂🤔🫤
Думаю, китайскому правительству часто нужно отпускать Дина за границу, чтоб он общался на английском!
Of the three of them, Radjabov is the clear winner to the question, "Which GM would you most like to have a beer with?"
ding after seeing all the 17 million possibilities in is mind, lets go for the most theoretical line the kings indian and sicilian..
I love these three players. Really nice and humble.
among three, Radjabov is the coolest guy
he takes initiative to answer first
he is not nervous and fluent
The other two contestant, I think they have problem with English
Those answers were very insightful, specially Ian's one. Made me think how fixed the box of knowledge about the game were, and the way it progressed through the modern era until today. :)
They don't know what fun is. They even know the first 20 moves of obscure gambits
Where is Nakers?? Very impressed with Teimor's answer.
1.c4 is a bad move because if you play it you are not playing 1.e4 which is best by test.😉😄
Ding would like to have a word with you
@@a.s.04 "dont believe everything you read on the internet"- paul morphy
if you've watched any chess from the last 5 years you'd know the h4 is a winning move in *every* position.
facts
The game between hikaru and mangnus was the most funniest opening where king moves back and forth in the beginning just to draw
No one said Bong cloud
who will agree that ding laughs like Sheldon?🤣🤣
Really good question! Thanks!
