The most disappointing thing I learnt getting into chess is that they give a limp fish handshake when they lose instead of dramatically knocking their king over.
I remember playing chess near a 5th floor window with my friend on his chess board. We were in school. I won and yeeted his king with mine, which to my surprise flew right out of the window, and landed near a car below. Dude was pissed until I got it for him a few minutes later. It was a very glorious moment for a 12 year old and I still remember how euphoric I felt back then. My friend was the best chess player in our school and I was like 3rd or 4th.
It's definitely a cultural thing in India. I noticed a lot of older Indians shake hands with just fingers instead of palm and is even a sign of endearment to hold someone's hand like that. What's cool is seeing other players like Hikaru reciprocate even though it's the opposite style of firm handshake of Americans. He might be aware of the culture and showing respect.
@@AlphaBoner it is not like that all . Where the hell did u learn that . Indians also belive in firm handshakes. I know that because I am an Indian myself.
@@wack8697 i am from south India ,so i know what I am talking about . There is indeed many cultures but i am sure he doesn't understand what he is talking about . I am from the same place as Anand ,there is no special customs to welcome elders .
Notice Magnus only had 2 handshakes during this video. The one at the start (the best chess handshake of all time), and the one he absolutely nailed at 0:56 This is why he's the world champion.
0:57 the looked like a troll. Firstly he came in very quick. He tapped the guy already standing there. Clapped loudly and only three times(stopped before magnus looked at him). And then immediately walked away briskly with a smiling face. He was maybe trying to put the other guy in awkward situation by drawing attention 😂😂. Legend
@@xshxr wild conclusions to be jumping to. Maybe the guy tapped his shoulder out of respect to let him know gently that he was on his left and avoid startling him. Maybe dude's on the spectrum and just fumbled the social bag. Maybe there was a fly on his upper arm that he kindly shooed away for his fellow chess enthusiast. Like hey I get it, I'm short too, and I also feel disrespected on occasion by the more lengthy people out there, but height was unlikely to have been a real factor in that dumbfounding interaction.
I hand shaked Anand in a exhibition tournament in morocco a few years back. He gave me the same handshake after we took a picture. I've always thought it was disrespectfull but the only thing he did was offering a draw. God I'm happy
@@crimsoncherrypicked5431 It was from an anime show my sister showed me from. Don't remember the name so ill try digging a bit further to find it. I do remember watching the first like 3 episodes.
I get so irritated at the lack of sportsmanship in chess. Often they refuse to even look at each other and the handshakes are treated as if they are forced to grab a dog turd instead of an opposing player's hand.
Love how they touch each other's hands like they're coated from Vaseline cream. Like -Bro, nice Nivea hand lotion. -Thanks bro. I felt your Moisturizer great too
Chess is war minus the blood. However the physiological wounds inflicted run deeper than any physical wounds. Expecting chess kings to shake hands is the equivalent of asking the gladiators to shake hands before a fight to death. It is not like the chess players are concluding a business deal so expecting a firm handshake is just pointless.
I am glad that someone point this out. The truth is that I only want to become a GM to give other players a proper handshake regardless of win, draw or defeat. I just can't stand that lack of protocole, haha.
They should just stop the hand shake tradition. It's going thru the motions only. Their facial expressions and diverted eyes show the true feelings. It's NOT gentlemanly at all in its current state.
Chess players hands are naturally weak, due to the fact that they pick up 1oz pieces all day. Strongmen are the complete opposite, so much so, scientists have theorized if 2 STRONGMEN shook hands, A black hole would form at the location of the handshake.
No it's a thing.. If both the kings are on white central squares then white won.. If both kings are on black central squares then black won If the kings are on different colours then it's a draw The arbiter or the players do it once the game is over so that others know the result
Seriously tho, what's up with those weird, slimy, horizontal high fives? Do they do that on purpose or are they just too socially awkward to greet the opponent like a functioning adult?
The handshake is just a formality in chess. It ties back to its tradition as a gentleman's game. However, just like anything else that's competitive, you're there to play the match and get it over with by beating them. No other sport makes you shake your opponent's hand before the match because you're not supposed to like your opponent in the first place.
At first I didn’t realize why Magnus and Nakumara had the worlds greatest handshake ever seen in the history of chess. After this video, I understand. Thank you for the enlightenment.
They don't even shake, they just hand

Handshake without the shake is not a handshake but only a hand holding another hand assuming it a handshake.
Mikhail Tal only had 3 fingers in his right hand. Imagine playing against him before realising that, now that's an akward handshake
Before the game : nice grip handshake
After the game: eww handshake
it's okay after intense touching nose and face
Their mindset is like, as long as our hands touch, even if it’s for a second
everyone saying is this even a handshake?
me: where is the shake
Vishy : I don't believe in hand shake, how about finger shake ?!
There is hand shake and then there is hand touch. Where you simply tough the other mans hand gently.
