hi Anish, my 'burning' question for you: in your years in Japan, you must have learned to play Go! Do you still follow it by any bit, from a corner of your eye? --> Some GM's are not bad at it, like amateur sho-dan's: Tiger Hillarp Person and foremost former world number two Aleksander Matusevich, who both took part in the yearly Open European Championship a few years back. BTW, A.M. won their exhibition match by twice 2-0.
Everything Kramnik has done so far shows he is not concerned about the integrity of chess, as you present it, but that he is only concerned about the integrity of his incredibly disproportionate ego, which can't handle losing online games against lesser known players. Kramnik's crusade has nothing to do with stopping cheating, and to imply anyone could somehow meet him "in the middle" is really a sign of a profound misunderstanding of the situation.
i’m a bit behind on chess content. this is a great interview with one of the top players i find intriguing. overall, a rewarding conversation that substantiates my favorable opinion of both participants. and yes, part two would be greatly appreciated.
Anish seems like a cool guy. Like his line about the driving instructor asking if he wanted to drive in silence, as the two players weren't sure if they should be talking or not.
That was a great podcast! @AnishGiriOfficial You should mention that Bassem Amin, the Egyptian Grandmaster, has achieved a rating above 2700 and is also a doctor
@@Ashishization1 What? Even I agree with this and I'm Norwegian. Vishy just seems like a super normal dude that happened to be the best chess player in the world at some point. Magnus is nowhere near the insanity of Fischer and Kramnik obviously, but he has his outbursts and immature tendencies.
@@noone-ld7pt yes but considering his mindset to win every single game, if u see goats of almost every sports or even fields they r extremely competitive and observing his behaviour he might be slightly autistic even if not fully It also depends on your type which is psychological ( given in ayurveda) you have three types of people depending on doshas and whatsover..overall vishy and magnus fall in contrasting TYPE
@@noone-ld7pt i just meant to say that there is too much hype for indian players....why dont we talk about players from other countries that are good or even better than Anand....Indians only see these indian players...kasparov plays better than anand..
I think Anish's words about Mangus' chess and psychology strength is spot on. The example I thought of was when Magnus played Hans in the Sinquefield Cup. He got into a complicated/worse position against Hans and didn't defend well, costing him the game. We all have an idea of what was going through his head during that game based on his actions afterwards.
Excellent podcast! Very interesting to heard Anish's perspective about all sorts of chess matters. Good host too, will check out more episodes. Idk why this channel is not more famous. Please make a part 2 if you are able. Thank you for this episode :)
I love when Anish was trying to promote that app.. "Uh I have been told that non-professionals also play chess. These guys want me to invest in some app, that they want to build, for connecting these supposed non professional players, and I think your viewers may one day want to check that out... maybe"
Thank you for bringing so much great content to chess. You really have a talent for making people comfortable and have them answer interesting questions.
This is inspiring! Hearing Anish talk about how knowledgeable Vishy was is quite inspiring. The pursuit of knowledge is very noble indeed. Off to read a book on history, probably the Crusades. I love history
@@MustreaderChess BTW I honestly believe that there is a strong possibility he really cheated there, it's not just kind of joke or trolling content for me. And I judge it by his behaviour, his way of arguing which is so "Russian propaganda" style in general. There's been so many details when you can see that he's actually not into finding the TRUTH (And that's even regardless of if he's right about some players or not - I'm talking about him always completely ignoring facts that would not support his point). Also he's accussing opponents about things he does himself (like - playing victim about being bullied while HE's the actuall bully one). So it's obvious that he is NOT a honest person in general. So I really thing he would be capable of doing something illegal there at his home country. And maybe that's actually the main reason of his actions now .
@@MustreaderChess and yes - let's not forget Kramnik's odd behaviour during his active player's career as well. Always claiming that he was "much better" when he's not, opponent got a draw or win "by miracle" and so on along those lines. He's one of the best in history, how comes he evaluates positions so wrong so often? I think it means that he has kind of psychological issues when he's afraid to look weaker or smth like that.
Great interview. Anish is always a delight to listen to. But is it just me who was getting distracted by the structure of Anish's room in the background? My brain kept imagining a sim card.
32:26 - how could it be resolved not publicly, when Kramnik want's to see random pc in the room and he DEMANDS to see it now. And if there is anything else than turned on* desktop screen he WILL DRAW CONCLUSIONS? * if screen is off, it is very suspicious, what does it hide?
@@stanislavbrusnikin4885 the issue is about Danya when all the "non accusations" are directed at him. And a lot of others who are 'non accused' based on... one or two moves at best. In Danyas case, cause one GM and few his friends didn't saw the move. And Kramnik showed only the sms that agreed to him, how many replies he got who didn't? I'm just asking questions. Apart from that it is 15 videos of Danya looking around and other unrelated BS.
Not an international CM, though. I have a national CM title, not the FIDE CM title, so unfortunately I cannot play in Titled Tuesdays (yet, until I’ve gotten my FM title)
It’s weird to me that Anish doesn’t know that engine rating is separate from player ratings. I.e. ELO difference gives is the probability of a player winning, but with engine ratings, that probability does not hold, they’re not part of the same rating system.
I love how at 17:20 he claims that these online IQ tests don't imply that he's smart, then proceeds to explain the patterns he firgured out as shortcuts to solve them... THAT precisely is a sign of high intelligence

Giri is one of the most articulate GMs and loads of fun to listen to.
Smartest guy in chess.
Anish looks like the most comfortable person to talk to. Easily approachable and a funny person most of the time.
It's a pleasure to hear Anish bring humour and insight together. Please have him back !
Anish is such an interesting person!! Definitely would love a second episode, will share this one with friends.
Definitely a part 2. Would love to hear his thoughts about his occasional side quest of chess commentating
We definitely need a Part 2, quickly: You forgot to ask Anish about Ding vs Gukesh, and his thoughts on that!!!
Part 2 please, I can hear Anish all day. Thanks Greg, you're doing a great job ❤ !!!!
i’m a bit behind on chess content. this is a great interview with one of the top players i find intriguing. overall, a rewarding conversation that substantiates my favorable opinion of both participants. and yes, part two would be greatly appreciated.
I was just searching for chess podcasts with Anish, and then this came out next day. Thanks - on demand! Oh - yes please do part 2
Amazing job Greg, to see how you develop your channel, the more and more top players take a part on your podcasts. Thank you!
Anish for FIDE President! With his energy, understanding, humility and international and biz experience!
Anish is an absolute superstar of the chess world. He makes chess more popular with his interviews, humour and presence of mind.
Pls make the second video. It's pretty interesting to see chess world through the lens of Anish .
Great interview! Looking forwards to part 2. Giri gives the best interviews of any top players, not even close.
Anish seems like a cool guy. Like his line about the driving instructor asking if he wanted to drive in silence, as the two players weren't sure if they should be talking or not.
Another great podcast, maybe part 2 can be in person? Super!
Damnnnn.. Anish’s Analysis on Magnus; Magnus is clearly the final boss of chess. “He allowed you to execute your plans and then slaughter you”
That was a great podcast! @AnishGiriOfficial You should mention that Bassem Amin, the Egyptian Grandmaster, has achieved a rating above 2700 and is also a doctor
Part 2 needed
dude, that kramnik poping out of nowhere made me jumpscare haha. giri is awesome.
In flashes you can see how hard he is on himself. Such a compelling figure.
Vishy probably the sanest chess world champion in the last 20 years
There's a reason magnus rated him 10/10 when it comes to sanity, while placing himself significantly lower.
Indians everywhere....
@@Ashishization1 What? Even I agree with this and I'm Norwegian. Vishy just seems like a super normal dude that happened to be the best chess player in the world at some point. Magnus is nowhere near the insanity of Fischer and Kramnik obviously, but he has his outbursts and immature tendencies.
@@noone-ld7pt yes but considering his mindset to win every single game, if u see goats of almost every sports or even fields they r extremely competitive and observing his behaviour he might be slightly autistic even if not fully
It also depends on your type which is psychological ( given in ayurveda) you have three types of people depending on doshas and whatsover..overall vishy and magnus fall in contrasting TYPE

Great to hear Anish's point of view, very well spoken and enjoyable! Always a pleasure to hear from Anish!
Binged watched whole podcast at a go ❤ Anish - What a gem of personality 🔥 My favourite chess player for a reason 😊

He got into a complicated/worse position against Hans and didn't defend well, costing him the game.

He talks a lot and i love it ❤❤
easily the best chess podcaster. every interview was great
@@dbhlnn thanks!
Man, I really like Anish. What a fun guy! 😁
Would love a part two!!
+1 for another episode with anish :)
Thanks for your gret work! :)
If Anish ever retires from competitive chess, he will do great as a content creator and commentator
Yes, we want part 2, 3, …
Just yesterday watched his lecture on chessable and today he comes to me in the recommendations, thanks for the video
Glad to see this interview! Thanks
Great interview, the more you see of Anish Giri, the more likeable he becomes. Congrats to him on his beautiful family too.
Excellent podcast! Very interesting to heard Anish's perspective about all sorts of chess matters. Good host too, will check out more episodes. Idk why this channel is not more famous. Please make a part 2 if you are able. Thank you for this episode :)
I see Anish, I watch
Good one; looking forward to the next Anish Giri podcast
Part two!
I love when Anish was trying to promote that app.. "Uh I have been told that non-professionals also play chess. These guys want me to invest in some app, that they want to build, for connecting these supposed non professional players, and I think your viewers may one day want to check that out... maybe"
You are pumping out some amazing content Greg. Delighted to be watching your journey so early as I see very big things for you in the future!
Anish is probably my favorite GM to listen to because of his frankness.
A surprisingly candid conversation.
Anish is really a very good person and extremely modest and intelligent. Amazing personality
I dead serious went to click the like button and realised I had already liked the video.
This happened 4 times.
Thank you for bringing so much great content to chess. You really have a talent for making people comfortable and have them answer interesting questions.
Good to have someone on who is in his right mind and does not pass his time harassing beloved figures in the chess world
Anish is a very nice mix of humor and class
Love your video's sir. You are always bringing in one of the best chess players. Really nice to hear from their insights
I absolutely love Anish! His chess and his personality 💜
Outstanding discussion
need a part 2 !!!
we want Anish Part 2.
I like his opinion and his humour, he's right that he could do much better on youtube just by streaming more and being himself.
Great interview! Anish is definetly my favourite chess troll in the world :D Very smart and funny guy
yes pls part 2
We want Anish to bounce back! He belongs in the top 10.
I love this channel so much. Thank you for the excellent excellent content
Leaving a comment for part 2 :) .
great podcast 👍🏼
This is inspiring! Hearing Anish talk about how knowledgeable Vishy was is quite inspiring. The pursuit of knowledge is very noble indeed. Off to read a book on history, probably the Crusades. I love history
GREG!!! You should invite Topalov and ask him about the Toiletgate!!! Like - "from 1 to 100, how sure you are that Kramnik cheated" 🤣 But seriously!
I thought about it recently! Would make for some interesting content!

Wow, couldn't stop listening, an interesting podcast!
Great application idea!
20:00 No wonder why everone want to listen to Vishy. He emits an aura of pure brilliance.
ONLY TO THE NON BRILLIANT
Anish is a class act if you can definitely you should get him there again
Great interview. Anish is always a delight to listen to. But is it just me who was getting distracted by the structure of Anish's room in the background? My brain kept imagining a sim card.
That’s how he cheats .. he lives inside the computer 😁
Congrat on 10k (soon)
Loved it, thanks for taking Anish, how about interviewing Alan Pichot, Vallejo Pons or Maybe David Antón or Iturrizaga
loving the vids Mustreader
Part 2 👍
what a nice and humble guy. don't believe when he says he's not a generous
Nice podcast! Giri is very classy. That matches thing sounds nice too, i was looking for something like that. They should release it as an app maybe..
Wow finally getting the recognition you deserve!
this guy najdorf course is pretty good ive been told
"I started enjoying the bishop pair more" 😅
Such a nice person. Enjoy watching.
Loved this interview
Anish is such a nice guy
32:26 - how could it be resolved not publicly, when Kramnik want's to see random pc in the room and he DEMANDS to see it now. And if there is anything else than turned on* desktop screen he WILL DRAW CONCLUSIONS?
* if screen is off, it is very suspicious, what does it hide?
The issue not about Danya, of course.
25% cheaters nowadays is a problem.
If you are not listned, you have to go hard
@@stanislavbrusnikin4885 the issue is about Danya when all the "non accusations" are directed at him. And a lot of others who are 'non accused' based on... one or two moves at best. In Danyas case, cause one GM and few his friends didn't saw the move. And Kramnik showed only the sms that agreed to him, how many replies he got who didn't? I'm just asking questions.

Anish , Just a modest polyglot...😁
Really admire your hard work Greg, bringing us quality podcasts so frequently! 👏
Hi Greg! Thanks to you and Anish for an amazing interview both due to an amazing host and amazing guest. Btw, what’s the secret behind your name :p
There’s no secret. Mustreader is a pseudonym, I’ve been using it for many years and it kinda stuck
Peter Svidler is pretty smart
Who was caught? 37:39
I didn't know you were a CM until now
Not an international CM, though. I have a national CM title, not the FIDE CM title, so unfortunately I cannot play in Titled Tuesdays (yet, until I’ve gotten my FM title)
Anish on Magnus “He’s good enough” 😂😂 (psychology wise)
I appreciate the effort you put into your videos. It would be cool if you got GM Maurice Ashley on
what's there to wait we only live once, go at it and play as many as you can to get a chance to get back to the vert top
It’s weird to me that Anish doesn’t know that engine rating is separate from player ratings.
I.e. ELO difference gives is the probability of a player winning, but with engine ratings, that probability does not hold, they’re not part of the same rating system.
Good one. He can probably achieve his ambitions if sheds his fringe interests.
Your editing is top notch
Great content creator
Part two
Keep doing good work!!
The intro felt a bit over the top. Anish Giri being there is already enough reason to watch it.
I love how at 17:20 he claims that these online IQ tests don't imply that he's smart, then proceeds to explain the patterns he firgured out as shortcuts to solve them... THAT precisely is a sign of high intelligence
Greg, it is a bit strange that you look down for the whole conversation and not once into the camera.
He is looking at Anish on camera
I look at my guest, whom I’m talking to, of course!
@@MustreaderChess I don't doubt it, it just doesn't look that way.
Because he has a good personality, and he is very witty, I would love him to win the world championship. He is the most interesting Grandmaster.
