Your compilations are fantastic, same with the game summaries. Good stuff, some of the older chips are fascinating, I had never seen these Kasparov ones before
I think it points to a deep rooted cultural problem in Chess. Those arbiters are there for a reason, and might have a reason to look at a particular game. IMO, one of the reasons that chess arbiters do so little to combat cheating is because anytime they attempt to do their job, there is backlash. We clearly see that at the highest level with Garry here. I'm not saying that Kasparov is soley in the wrong for that behavior; I think it's a deep rooted societal norm in the chess world, and we shouldn't have let it get that far. We should do something to get rid of that mindset.
The interviewer at 1:10 i saw also in the other video with akward moments. He is NOT suited to chess journalism. He really messes up basic things and just relies on tropes from other fields of reporting.
From following the events when the they happened: Nepo only got awful questions and answered most of them, especially when someone is trying to trick you into answering them despite declining it's honestly very understandable to be annoyed. Especially when they're so mundane and not chess related, just fodder for cheap headlines by the press
@@inazuma-fulgur I followed that event when it happaned as well, I don't remember having that impression, maybe you are right, I don't know. But I know questions like these are asked quite frequently and most players react positively to them, because they're supposed to loosen up the atmosphere. I can't imagine any other player declining to answer the question about outfit superstitions like that, pretending there was something wrong about asking it. There wasn't. And how many meaningful chess-related questions can you really ask? If he just wasn't in the mood he could have still answered less passive aggressively.
@@vercot7000 why, because it's not purely chess-related? She asked if he's superstitious about the clothes he wears for his games - because it's a well known fact that most chess players indeed are. They change their shirts when they're losing or keep wearing a shirt in which they got a win. And they talk about it openly. And plenty players have been asked this very specific question, but I haven't seen any other reaction like Nepo's here. Sometimes they don't want to answer, but then they'll just say they don't want to answer, without this overly passive-aggressive tone. It's a very good question.
This interviewers.... Some of the questions are asked right after the match, Its expected that no one will have the charisma for the cheeky questions... After hours of extenuating and intense brain activity trying to meet the expectative that you put to yourself your hole life... The fact the the interviewer considers to ask some questions is makes it so evident that either they are assholes or just not inteligent enough to be more considerate. I would reply most in the same way.
The dude is definitely on the spectrum. That's why he makes factual comments, like regarding Fabi needing to win the tournament, and genuinely only means them that way, not realising how he can be perceived as trash talking or being harsh.
4:55 that is why we don't play many games cuz we're afraid of losing. And from now am gonna adopt this mentality of not getting afraid of losing. Just do your best and play u will many and lose others but by playing many games including those u lose is part of your progress together u can improve
Why there's most of the time it's Fabiano at the funny table? 0:44 Fabiano really holding is big laugher at there. 3:40 Arbiter don't wanna get shot by Garry's Katyusha 😂
There's a reason why these guys decided to play a board game without any talking. They are just a brunch of weirdos. It's a level below a nerd or even a dweeb. These guys are special.
5:08 - she looks like she wants to 😉 the male interviewer but is calculating in her head whether that is the best move, a blunder, or simply an inaccuracy.
he wasn't. he was kidding around. and mvl's response was not funny in any way. these responses are seen as "savage" or "brutal" or "funny" only in the chess community, because you guys have zero idea what they actually are.
@big_2361 don't strut around like you're the president of the chess community. Zero idea? As someone who has followed chess avidly and even played chess, even professionally, I'm quite aware of Maurice Ashley and have observed a pattern in his conversations. Get off your high horse
@@smahadiL_ i am actually proud to NOT be a part of the chess community since 2018, precisely because it turned into an unserious sport. even magnus forfeited his championship title because he lost his respect for the game. you missed my point completely, which actually vindicates my other point, that you have zero idea and you never will have any idea
@big_2361 ppl have their own views. Don't be a sheep following what other grandmasters are doing. Be original and have your own views. Magnus quit and suddenly chess is pointless now? What a clown you are. Talking to you and dignifying your comments is a waste of my time. Continue to be an unoriginal sheep
The player in the foreground, Levon Aronian, played a poor move. The player in the background making the facial expressions, Hikaru Nakamura, sees this and is perplexed because Aronian is a very strong player and Nakamura did not expect him to make a poor move like that.
Hikaru's expressions are comedy gold 😆😆
Can someone explain what Aronian was doing? I dont get it

This guy makes the best chess compilations out there, Would love to see the full interviews as well please post the video links in description

The Hikaru interview was from the 2009 US Championship
@@TightKnights Thank you very much!
@@TightKnightsThanks for trying to avoid posting links. Such a clutter when people do that.
Levon has such a great sense of humour and wit. After all he's been through it's so good that he's kept his spark.

All the clips are just spot now,good job!

heres to Ivan living his life fully for the next several hundred years 🍻
Not Levon with the “double clutch giggle” to establish himself even more💀🔥🇫🇷
"Your terrible position offends me deeply."- Hikaru to Levon.
Yes! Keep asking Nepo superficial questions like why he's wearing pink. Love those reactions.

Ready to freak
It's Jennifer Shahade.
Sooo weiird.. It's like one tought is coming.. hoo it vanished.. another is coming.. vanished again
Her face was attempting to prevent her eyes from looking at Hikaru.
She is just trying to fit in.

minute?
Hikaru just looking pissed off for no reason is so funny 🤣
@3:48 is that Korchnoi walking past the shamed arbiter in Kasparov's game?
i dont prepare for tournaments. they prepare for me.
Can I ask the same question in a different way?
No
MVL's ''are you sure about that'' is too good

2:20 hikaru's son spotted
Magnus : I’m Not Trash Talking I’m Talking Factual
8:10 this is the most awkward clip of the whole video holy shit lmao she was soooo offended lmao
Grandmasters being savage in what they say.

Some of Nepo's answers sound like he's being snarky just for the sake of it while the questions were pretty normal
