India celebrates a historic double gold victory at the Chess Olympiad as young prodigies rise in global rankings. Meanwhile, the world of international chess is reshaped by a 'Russia vs West' dynamic, as former champion Russia faces a ban due to its invasion of Ukraine. In episode 1523 of Cut The Clutter, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta unpacks these shifts as geopolitics continue to impact sports.

i m surprised that u r covering this
Anish giri represents Netherlands, his father is originally from Nepal
It's a Shame that you forget to mention Vishy's Chess Academy with Westbridge and 30+ grand masters from *SAMBAR SPECIAL* TAMIL NADU 🎉❤ 😅 😂
@@cmkar1013 ...This is what happens when you have absolutely zero knowledge on the subject and in front of the camera you are just reading a script given to you by a team which has done piss poor homework and research...the world rankings of our national heroes mentioned in this video are all wrong....im happy that they covered this achievement but at the same time they are giving out false information to those people who dont follow chess.
Vishwanath Anand deserves a Bharat Ratna...
Not just for his own performance. But also building and inspiring this galaxy of stars in chess.
Every primary school in India should have a Chess club and Math club. The Soviet Union had a great chess and math culture for children, one worth emulating. Let all children enjoy in these delights. Congratulation to Team India. The hard work has paid off.
We, your audience loves your coverage of a very important sport, born right here in India. Please continue to cover it more. Ratings are outdated though, current ratings much better. Also a very important point you missed, Gukesh is playing World Chess Championship, challenging the world chapion for 1v1 for the world's best title later this year. An achievement too big to miss.
This is Historic for India..
In last 10 years, Indian Chess has gone leaps n bounces..
While this rise is fantastic, it would be good if India does equally well in physical sports. The last Olympics were an absolute disaster
Even if russian players were allowed to compete this time indian team was overpowered...and favourites to win from first day....our prodigies are crushing everyone from past year
Anish Giri is also half Nepali, not half Indian. :)
it is entire south indian team
Anish was born in Russia and played for Russia and then switched to Netherlands and yes has Nepali dad and Russian mom
His grandmother was Indian
@@veerapandyan8403 you must have dropped your pea sized brain somewhere. It's an Indian team with a Tamil Prag, Telugu Gukesh, Gujrati Vidit. It's not a "south Indian" team. women team also has a Divya, Tanya, Vantika who all are just Indianas as much as Vaishali and Harika.
@@veerapandyan8403Tania Sachdev is Punjabi , Divya Deshmukh is Marathi, Vantika is from Delhi🤣
Other states are also doing well😁
HARYANA AND PUNJAB ARE INDIAN OLYMPIC MEDALS CAPITALS
MOST OF INDIAN CRICKET, HOCKEY AND KABADDI PLAYERS COMES FROM HARYANA AND PUNJAB🤣🤣
I wasn't expecting an episode on my fav sport chess but so glad you did it sir.
Like sports Modi will also change prospect of politician in future..... for India 😊
Anish Giri is Dutch player , native of Nepal. Her naani waa from Banaras.
India should invite Russia to Asian Games. Between China & other countries, that will then rival the Olympics too. Like what BRICS is to G7.
Bharat Ratna for Vishy Anand sir hopefully
It is truly inspiring and mind-blowing to witness the history making achievements of our young Chess players. Personally, I liked Arjun's style of play but Gukesh has been all round. All the best Gukesh for the World Championship match against Ding!!!
Gukesh ,Pragg ,vidit and Arjun are the lethal combo we can ever produce
Shekhar Sir, as much as we would like Anish to be of Indian Origin, he is ofcourse an excellent chess player and we all have a lot of respect for him, he is of Nepali Origin.
Chess is life and life is chess!. All these amazing indians who helped bring laurels deserve a round of applause. I think, they may very well get an appreciation from our prime minister. I have been playing this game for quite sometime, however, i find it very difficult. But thats besides the point, the beauty of the game in itself is a big allurement for me. I sometimes believe, that chess players can be very good coders!
2020 was a rapid online olympiad it is not considered as other fide classical olympiad. Hence this is considered first gold in olympiad
An off the cuff with Anish Giri will be a delight for everyone he is very witty
A young IM of Indian origin played for England too.. Sadly English themselves are trolling her.. She was the youngest team member in the England team in the Olympiad
And then there are some Indians who still look up to the British without any self respect
*Bodhana Sivanandhan!*
Malcolm Gladwell has to write Outliers Part 2 and revisit Chapter 8. Now, he will reveal the role numbers, culture, chantings, rote memorization, and agriculture play in the game of chess and spelling bee skills.
Shekhar Just loved your coverage. ❤❤ Specially the outro
I just love your today's selection of topic
Why does a sport like Chess has separate ranking and game for women? Wouldn’t it merit to have a mixed game and ranking for chess?
And by the way...i forgot to mention....Anish Giri (The Indian Sounding Name Guy Who Playes For Netherlands) is Half Nepali and Half Russian...His father is a Nepali and mother is a Russian...Seriously...His Nani (mother's mother) was from banaras...my Nani (mother's mother) was born in Karachi...so does that make me half Pakistani? what kind of logic is this? who is doing this research? The only connection that Anish has with india is that he is very good friends with Indian chess players and Indian Chess Promoters and Broadcasters....Anish's online chess ID name is "Tal from Nepal"....seriously you guys should not give away all these false information when actually you know absolutely nothing and you are just reading a script in front of a camera...what a shame
Did he really say half Indian? Mr. Gupta said, he found an indian sounding name, but he plays for Netherland
Dear Shekar sir,
This was a very disappointing and half baked report. About half of the report was on Russia and its history in Chess (I understand it’s your call of the topic distribution), but given the title, you should have had covered the upcoming Gukesh vs Ding WCC match, Indians at the candidates 2024 and India’s performance in the Chennai Olympiad to say the least.
I understand that you are not much familiar with the chess sport but as a journalist, this is where your lack of research is clearly evident. Maybe get in touch with actual chess journalists.
Apologies for being blunt, but you owe us a second part for such a half baked story.
Any chance of a passing remark on the sidelines about AKD win in SL?
Arjun now is 3rd
gukesh 5th.
This episode sounded like college student finishing his assignment. Everything was wikipedia info. You should have at least called some Indian GM to add some depth to CTC, if you don't follow chess.
Thanks to the stand up comedian Samay Raina and Sagar Shah for making chess population amongst Gen Z.
Yeah. Vishy Anand & GR Ramesh hai kaun?
@@preshant91real comedians
Dillusional take wrong at so many levels
@@preshant91 both are important. samay and sagar for mass appeal which brings in money and anand and ramesh for developing talents
They might have popularised it amongst people who will ultimately just watch Chess.
Vishy is the reason we are minting Chess prodigies.
Shekhar I would like to see you talk on the laddu issue. The reports that are coming out seem hard to believe. Need some fact based analysis of the clutter
Because there in no reservation, what we see the victory of merit 💯💯
Pls do Next episode on Sri Lanka election results...
anish pretty much hangs out with indian team. so you can consider him indian. he may even have overseas citizenship of india, as he is eligible.
Would he be eligible? He is not of Indian origin, so he is probably not eligible.
@@shashamnk2525 all descendants of Indians are eligible. up to 4 generations. anish is still the first generation I believe.
@@curio78 His father is from Nepal and mother from russia but he has great grandmother who was from India
@@anshul6168 that's odd I read somewhere his father was Senegalese indian. but great grand mother counts too.
i did not know russia was banned. that is bad, why was china not banned for their move on south china sea?.
I was expecting ctc on quad how far this group has come, formal summit that too philly, is big lead forward will be interesting to see how this develop, it will be sma under Harris but if Trump how he deal with China will decide quad future so far so good
you can definately sacrifice you own piece far a better position on the board ;)
I was thrilled you chose to cover India's Chess Olympiad win, but I couldn’t help feeling disheartened by how the focus quickly shifted away from the victory-and chess itself.
The biggest takeaway for me is this: when was the last time India produced world-beating teenagers after Sachin Tendulkar? Now, we have two-Gukesh and Praggnanandhaa.
What’s more, Gukesh and Arjun, at just 18 and 21, are nearing the 2800 FIDE rating mark-a monumental feat, especially when you consider Vishy Anand’s peak was 2817. These young stars aren’t just the future of Indian chess; they’re already making history.
And let's not forget the Indian women’s team, who pulled off a miracle by punching way above their weight to secure a highly improbable gold. While the open team’s success was expected, given they were the strongest on paper, the women’s triumph was nothing short of extraordinary. They faced formidable opposition, yet delivered when it mattered most. I wish you had touched on these points as well.
Ekdum faltu topics pe ctc. There’s so much going on in the world like Lebanon Israel etc, could’ve covered that instead of this which neither has any clutter nor are many people interested.
Nice
Telugu kids make India proud.. congrats to all the champions..Gukesh Dommaraju,Arjun Erigaisi,Dronavalli harika,koneru hampi,pendyala harikrishna etc
Isn't Gukesh from Tamil Nadu? He speaks Tamil, and his mother also said his name is a Tamil word.
@@MukundanS-p7dyes gukesh and pragnananda is tamilians,,,, they are indians
@@MukundanS-p7dhe is from Chennai but born to telugu parents , you can check in wiki for more details
@@MukundanS-p7dGukesh is from Chennai but born to telugu parents , you can check in wiki for more details , there are tons of telugu people all over tamilnadu particularly in chennai
@@MukundanS-p7dGukesh in Sanskrit means one with Knotted hair another name for lord Shiva ( Gukeshwar)- Kesh is hair and Gu is knotted
