- The interviewer of this video, IM Sagar Shah, got acquainted with the protagonist of this video GM Yasser Seirawan through his books. Yasser is an encyclopaedia of chess knowledge and has amazing stories with him. This is the first time that Sagar met Yasser in person and thought that books would be an ideal subject to discuss! In this 30-minute video we ask Yasser his opinion about chess books, the books that made a deep impression on him, his favourite chess books and how relevant is it to study books on classics in this modern day.

TL;DR:
1. The first chess books he read were written by Reuben Fine, Irving Chernev, Fred Reinfeld.
2. The first most powerful impression: Alekhine's two volumes on his best games.
3. Tal - Botvinnik 1960 by Mikhail Tal
4. Authors mentioned: David Bronstein, John Watson, Paul Keres.
5. Any best games collections, esp. if they are annotated by the players themselves.
6. Yasser's own picks: Chess Duels & Five Crowns
Thanks brother 🙏
Ty!
3:07 He also mentions Mikhail Tal's My Life and Games
GM Seirawan is an amazing role model. And my favorite commentator because he is superb to begin with, but he also demonstrates that one can be critical in analysis while being kind and generous.
He is also 2 times world championship candidate.
This man never goes more than 2-3 minutes without a big grin. Love it!
More like 2-3 seconds! 😅
Always pleasure to hear yasser. My favorite commentator.
Yasser is a world treasure! Thanks for this interview, Sagar! Yasser is always so entertaining and inspiring! Greetings from the Philippines! :)
Yasser is always a delight to listen to - had a very brief interaction with him during Tata Steel Chess last month and he has this calm aura that immediately makes you feel comfortable around him - very approachable and kind in the way he interacts with everyone. You can learn chess skills for sure but this inspiring personality trait is also something to learn from as well!
Seirawan and Sagar in the same video! Amazing! Sagar, you are a young Yasser... many of us learn so much from you! Thank you for everything!
Nakamura: Pffft. Why should I study the history of chess?
Carlsen: 22. Bxf6? Hmm. Why that's Fischer vs. Spassky. Game 10. '72 World Championship match.
Carlsen's record vs. Nakamura in classical chess: +12=19-1
Winning chess strategies by Seirawan is my most important early books.. It really has great impact on the way i understand chess..
Great interview and great insights - many thanks :)
Two of the most warm and positive minds coming together. Great stuff
This is the best interview I could have wished for! My favourite chess personality gives his personal insight to my favourite chess-content creator! much love
Yasser's speaking voice is so calming.
Great knowledge and experience.
Loved the upload.
I wish Yasser would write a follow-up to his "Winning Chess Brilliancies"!
Great interview! Yasser is the man. I will definitely check out some of his books🔥
Yasser is an international treasure!
Excellent interview
He is so calm when speaks, i love him
Do, what you enjoy.... wonderful words!! Sagar, the 'Yasser' was praising you... Congrats man
Wow! What a great personality he is! ❤🙏🙌
I love this interview. Two of the greatest chess contributors are meeting here. Yasser was ni.ce to read. And now i really have to thanks Sagar for the way he explains and shared is knowledge about chess. Just for an example, i'm a chessbase 16 and 17 user and most of my knowledge are due to Sagar and for that i really need to say thank you. Merci beaucoup Sagar.
Yasser is my all time favorite he is a great teacher, commentator and player. :)
For a lowly chess instructor as myself i have found this lovely interview with GM Seirawan (a true gentleman) to be a great help. Thank you.
Great interview!
Thank you Sagar for giving us what we need but don't deserve.
Always enjoy hearing GM Yasser. very informative
Excellent presentation by nikhilesh for promotion of chess.
I'm so glad to hear his comment about that ratty book. We had him sign one just like that at Supernationals in Nashville many years ago.
always a pleasure to listen to Yesser
I love Y. Seirawan talking style
Your own books are the best Yasser. You took me by the hand. Thank you so much.
Thank you Yasser 😊 always a delight
So adorable 😊
Just wanna ask to add some thumbnail or smth for a couple seconds while editing the video and it will be easier to find them
This guy is awesome,love his stories, i have all his books
22:45 Will Hikaru react esp. to 24:59? 😁
Yasser is such a humble gentleman
Good knowledge of chess nice information
We will all read those books in his voice now maybe
I salute decent chess lover n player yassar
Yasser is so committed to chess that he has one white eyebrow and one black eyebrow
I enjoyed Yasser’s Winning Chess Brilliances, Five Crowns, and Chess Duels. One of the best chess authors, in my opinion.
Thank you :)
Yasser is goated with the sauce!
Wearing my Chessbase India shirt today!!! Love you all!
Fozzie!!
Who is more positive than GM Seirawan??
He clearly loves chess, like Murray Walker to motor racing!
Im already reading Tal vs Botvinnik. I can't stop laughing while Tal analyses the game
yasser is like a big warm dulcet dolphin
Don't be surprised by his morals and kindness . seirawan is fammily known as the Descendants of The Prophet Muhammad and his son الحسين عليه السلام
MICHAEL Tal. LOL. I think Yasser pronounces everybody's name wrong on purpose and is just trolling everyone.
No curiosity about the truth in a game or position? He only wants to float in a kind of sympathy and feel-good spheres. I'm much more convinced by the attitude of, say, a Ljubojevic or Hübner. But truth is highly unpopular in this declining age of feeling orientation and is often even completely ignored and denied. Seirawan seems to be an exemplary representative of this ("postmodern") time and attitude. Hopefully only in chess.
stop licking ur lips in the mic
Sagar Shah needs some lessons in english phonetics.
Everyone repent of your sins and turn to Jesus, for by grace are ye saved through faith that not that of yourselves it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
Religion is the cause of all evil and should be abolished. 😊
