Firstly Insight from Vishy Sir,then V Sarvanan and then Vladimir kramnik.Sagar bhai is killing it.Nowhere in the chess world you find such interesting content. You are not here for few likes but to create legacy. ❤
36:00 Geez, Vlad is on point. It's a very philosophical point, be happy with what you have, and don't cry too much. Take another perspective, that's what I am going to do NOW. I am always so miserable, forgetting what I have achieved after being in the dumps. Completely ruined, living the miserable life of an alcoholic, fastly dying, now I am something. Still unhappy all the time, pitying myself and others. Look at the bright side, man! enjoy your life and be grateful! Thanks Vlad. Not that I didn't know that before, but reminding is always needed.
From Europe. Sagar your interviews/podcast are great not only because of your guests, but because you really ask neat questions and not "easy" ones. Great.
Sagars wit and personality and good journalism is a gift to my life. The quality of everything he does. He listen. Asks the question I did not know I most of all wanted to be answered. Thank you, from Sweden.
I've liked very much the honesty and perspective (see at 35:36) where he says they weren't born in Buckingham palace nor as Rockefellers, hence "according to the start position Nepo's doing very well" :-D
32:00 This is why I like this interview the most. Ding is an honest person, a rarity these days, well, always was. I think if he manages to stay longer as a WC, or even if not, he is already a role model for young chess players all over the world. I really like Anand and his role in the chess life of India. And now Ding may serve a similar role for China. I think we may witness a new era in chess after all debacles we had in the last few years. Vlad hinted on destiny, maybe it is a Destiny call that Ding won? :)
Excellent insight into this match and chess and sport psychology in general by Kramnik here..and Sagar asking all the right questions..Excellent..thank you👍
I so appreciate your interviews with such high level players. Their insights and comments are really so helpful to understand the game of chess. Please do more of these with past World Champions.
Moral of the story: Kramnik not happy Ding won the championship.😅 Of course Ding didn't show his best but both the players made lots of mistakes and in the end Ian made the last mistake. If you see the play, Ian is v good at opening, strong and solid. And Ding had shaky openings. But in the middle game Ding was stronger.
Great interview, a very insightful dialogue, even for a low level player like myself, although the concrete (or abstract) concepts are probably way over my head. Definitely a fan of both Sagar and Vladimir!
acute insights from Vladimir Kramnik......everyone should listen twice.....as far as his explanation and understanding of Magnus stating theory and prep have diminished the game..I remind everyone that Bobby Fischer made this argument over 50 years ago....and just like all the chess thoughts from the greatest player ever ...time has proven him correct....
Seems like no one is impressed with Ding preps. Ian must have been the favorite atleast from a preparation point of view. Ding probably had the advantage from the skill point of view. Even if it was a slightly advantage.
Kramnik talks about a number of "unforced errors" by Nepo which cost him the match. But didn't Ding also make some "unforced errors" which cost him a couple games? At the end it all averages out, and Ding's bold, game-changing R-g6 move in game four of the rapids is what determined the outcome. Otherwise, that game would have been drawn, and from that point on anything could have happened.
Vlad why no castle chess would avoid preparation? Why not just let a board shuffler that establish an even position like +0.3 adv for white at move 10 so the players face the position equally without having any preparation.

Well, it's quite understandable. Kramnik is much better acquainted with Ian, he helped him a little in preparation for the match, and, after all, they are compatriots. I don't think that Vladimir can be criticized in any way for this, but, of course, he is more confident in his opinion that exactly Ian lost this match, and not Ding won it.
Classic Kramnik. Every time he talks about the World Championship, including his book on Magnus vs Karjakin, everything he says just reeks of pure jealousy that he can no longer hack it at this level
@@fundhund62you mean his series my great predecessors? That is an awesome series, a lot of people shun that series cause it is complicated with a lot of variations, but it is meant for 2000+ players so don’t really understand why beginners or intermediate players even read it. Just cause you don’t understand it doesn’t mean it doesn’t have amazing perspective. Also Kramnik has been really going crazy with the cheating accusations these days. Just see his c squared podcast interview with Fabi, dude has lost it, plus he thinks Hikaru and Naroditsky cheat online so I seriously doubt his sanity lol…

Seriously the work done by cbi is just amazing❤️💫
Sagar is such a treasure for the whole chess community. Not sure how he gets these interviews - great work!
Kramnik is such a wonderful person!! Honest, objective, and sensitive! Great Strength of Character too!!

You are spoiling us, once more!
Thank you Sagar! And thank you Big Vlad!
Wow. Great to get insights from former world champions.
Interviews are as interesting as world championship. Thanks SS.
Great interview! Thanks for the timestamps
Sagar casually brings world champions in videos thanks sagar❤

And next month, you will be drinking bear like hell
Sagar, many thanks for your work here! Kramnik is a real class act!
Excellent insight into this match and chess and sport psychology in general by Kramnik here..and Sagar asking all the right questions..Excellent..thank you👍
Its amazing how Kramnik has morphed into the modern day Botvinnik. He is now the greatest living authority on chess.
I feel the same. His insights are always to the point.
No doubt, in terms of pure talent he is unreachable
Great Vladimir! Such a wonderful human being.
I so appreciate your interviews with such high level players. Their insights and comments are really so helpful to understand the game of chess. Please do more of these with past World Champions.

Just a top class interview. Very informative
Sagar is doing exclusive interviews that other channels are not doing.
Great interview, a very insightful dialogue, even for a low level player like myself, although the concrete (or abstract) concepts are probably way over my head. Definitely a fan of both Sagar and Vladimir!
I am glad to see him at good health, great insights as usual.
Sagar should now conduct an interview with Rapport and the winner Ding.
Great great interview. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Fantastic interview! Very good questions, great answers. Thanks a lot!!
Владимиру Борисовичу лайк❤️
fantastic interview, cannot emphasize enough the insights you bring to the chess world. what a "cool guy" kramnik is!
Thanks, Sagar! Really enjoyed this
Kramniks philosophical attitude towards life is a must for chess and non chess players.
Really loved sir's insights and sagar bhai the work ure doing nothing but love and respect for u❤
Your interviews are fantastic; it's amazing to listen to you interview some of the best minds in chess.

Sagar you always comes up with interesting videos,Vishy and now kramnik👍
Amazing video!!!!! Thank you very much!!!
14th World Champion is a great professional and amazing human being.
Excellent interview.
32:20 is such a beautiful moment.
the irony at the end even reminds me of Slavoj Zizek talking
Kramnik is amazing. Great interview. 5 inaccuracies and 3 mistakes is a little too much!!!
Amazing coverage Sagar bhai
Kramnik brilliant as usual.
Kramnik is an experienced candidate in chess world.He is known as 14th world champion.🌟
Oh really? Thanks for the brand new information.
@@Ash-rx5wl you're welcome

Nice video
getting dad vibes from Kramnik
Alternate title - Kramnik roasting Nepo for 70 mins
Nepo said Kramnik was a 'special' consultant so I took that to mean "a little less than a full second".
Vlad why no castle chess would avoid preparation? Why not just let a board shuffler that establish an even position like +0.3 adv for white at move 10 so the players face the position equally without having any preparation.
Resilient is the word that Kramnik was searching for. Ala Rocky.
36:20 On Buckingham Palace & Rockefeller
*Buckingham Palace and the Rockefellers are amongst the leading Globalist lights that the other Vlad is currently defending Russia against.
Personally i wish they switch to 960*960 chess, where black and white have different setups. No openinh theory, the most talentes wins.
match vs. Kasparov. It should have been Shirov
Agree, but I think Shirov would have not stand any chance against Kasparov.
when will woodpecker method book come to stock?
Thank you, Vlad, very much. 😂
Kramnik is great
But why "no castle" chess? This is still a non-trivial change. Why not start from a pair of random moves like c3 c6; or h3 h6 ?
Because no castling is his idea
Moral of the story: Kramnik not happy Ding won the championship.😅
Of course Ding didn't show his best but both the players made lots of mistakes and in the end Ian made the last mistake.

Let’s be honest here, both of these dudes would lose against the consistent beast Magnus!!
Sorry, but Ian is overall stronger: ELO, winning candidates twice, leading WCC match 3 times, etc. Ding is VERY lucky.
@@masonhollander5149 Sure, but it mattered on the day and Ding did it on the day. Not denying Ian is probably stronger on most days.
Interesting observations. I agree that Ding was better in the middle and end from what I saw.
Best one
lol Ding and Rapport against the world
mate you kiicked serious ass with the Berlin against the best player in world massive props to you bro!!!!
His role was accusing ding of cheating
27:06 Kramnik is not at all exaggerating , Game 14 was horrandous by DING. he tries everything to self destruct. even Team Magnus addressed it
Ian stronger
Classic Kramnik. Every time he talks about the World Championship, including his book on Magnus vs Karjakin, everything he says just reeks of pure jealousy that he can no longer hack it at this level
To my mind, not at all. He is very objective in his evaluations, and unlike Kasparov in MGP, always adds an interesting perspective.
