Gukesh sponsered arranged him so don't worry he will be paid fairly. Money is not a matter we Indians should remember and honoured paddy upston sir, that is we should do to him.
Paddy is Our Lucky Charm, he was part of staff with 2011 CWC winning team, 2024 Paris Olympics Men's Hockey team, and now With World Chess Champion Gukesh D. ❤️❤️
Thanks for that. Didn't realize he worked with them in that era. I don't live in a cricketing nation, but was lucky enough to live in Australia during the end of the great Aussie team around 2000. I was always impressed by the dispassionate way cricket commentators of different nations would analyze the matches. Very even handed. I see that in Gukesh and all the young Indian generation. Glad Gukesh won. But Ding is a good guy, too.
@akhanduyitr369 Cricket players. Tendulkar, called the Little Master, is one of the greatest cricket players who ever lived. Retired maybe 15 years ago. Cricket in India is way more popular than chess. I forget the exact numbers, but after soccer (football, World Cup), cricket may be the second most popular sport in the world. India plus Pakistan is a lot of people. Very interesting game. Great literature, too.
Terrific work, kudos to Gikesh and Paddy, AND I do not know everything, but I I know I could coach a willing American player to the World Championship!
Watching paddy upton since he was with Gary Kirsten in 2010's with Indian cricket team. What an absolute gem he is. What a legend to help win India World cups and Olympic medals.
5:19 this is exactly why Ding blundered towards the end. He mentioned he was having bad memories from the candidates, losing a similar bishop end game. It is so hard to control your mind to stay in the present. Other GMs can criticize Ding but each GM’s personal journey and life moments are unique. May be if it was knights or two rooks, he probably drew the game comfortably. It’s the small distraction of thinking about past losses that led to the Rf2-mistake. So it probably helped Gukesh hiring Paddy and have a mental game plan. Avoid distractions. Feel so sorry for Ding. He does not deserve the criticism.
As soon I had heard that Upton is part of Gukesh’s team, my hopes had gone high. I had heard his name for the first time in connection with 2011 World Cup India Cricket team. It was Gary Kirsten, another South African and then Indian Men Cricket team coach who brought Upton for mental conditioning couch. What a career he has had. Absolute GOAT!!!
This guy is really special. I wish I had paddy in my life.I could have done few things better in my life.Nowadays sportsmen are lucky to have experts like him.
hope the sponsors continue to retain him to provide mental fitness to the champion. The champion will need it now more than ever. The biggest challenge is going to be grow up as himself without being influenced by stupid media and how others view him.
He was a part of the : 1.2011 Indian World Cup winning cricket team 2. 2024 Paris Olympic, Bronze medal winning, Indian Hockey team 3. 2024 World Chess champion's team That's a super impressive CV😮
Thank you, Sir. Imagine if Paddy feels like a kid at such an event, what would be the mental state of Gukesh. Players do need some moral/mental support. Thank you.🙏
Get this man back as the mental coach of ICT,he is the lucky charm we need.Keep rotating him with every other sport till we are world champions in most of the sports.
In game 11 we sa this strategy as gukesh said in his interview that "he thought his position was bad so tried to relax and focus on the current position as upton said and went on winning that game
Wish pady was the coach of Bobby fisher .. wish someone was there to guide the greatest mind of that time fisher , we all know how tragic path he took and he left the game ( bobby) which suggests YES MIND NEEDS A LOT OF TRAINING. EVEN A GENIUS CAN FAULTER HIS PATH
Paddy is a star he knows human psycology to its best thats why he brings great results in players individual performance thank you sir for helping gukesh ❤
Thanks to the sponsor Westbridge Capital! This was a fantastic decision. Paddy has a proven track record. Elite sports definitely require mental conditioning. WACA has a fair share in this success. Thanks to father of Indian Chess, Vishy Anand as well.
Indian sport owes a fair amount to this guy. What a star!
You are so right my Bro.
everytime there was a big tournament paddy was there
Gukesh sponsered arranged him so don't worry he will be paid fairly. Money is not a matter we Indians should remember and honoured paddy upston sir, that is we should do to him.
He coached the Indian hockey and cricket teams as well. GOAT.
Really!
yup we won World Cup 2011 @@gk9257

Yes he was the mental coach of the 2011 wc winning Indian team and also the tokyo Olympics bronze medalist hockey team @@gk9257
Best decision Gukesh did to take support of Upton.
It was Gukesh's sponsors Westbridge Capital who hired Paddy to help Gukesh
But Gukesh needed to accept the help. In the end it was his decision right? 🤔

He is the Mental Coach of Indian Sports 🎺♥️
He adds incremental and supplemental value to Gukesh that is detrimental to Ding, which is instrumental and fundamental to Gukesh’s victory.
She is listening, she responding and asking genuinely FANTASTIC 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Paddy is kinda lucky charm for India.. We won cricket world-cup back in 2011 under him.. Now chess-championship. ❤❤🎉
Not to forget Men's Hockey Bronze in Paris Olympics 2024😊

Top 5 for Gukesh in terms of self awareness. That’s excellent for such a young person. 😊
Mental coach real important

Interesting he comes from cricket. India is cricket crazy. They're down under playing Australia right now.
This dude has a habit of being at the right place at the right time. India Cricket, Hockey at Olympics, now this. Get him at BGT. 😅

Hats off Paddy! Thank you Sandeep from Westbridge for facilitating Paddy helping Gukesh.

Thank you sir,...from chennai INDIA
Awesome interview!❤ Very thoughtful questions!! Maybe that's why I am not making progress in chess-i badly need a mental coach!

Thanks Paddy
Lucky charm for Indian sports teams
He should be made mental coach for Indian Olympics team
He was he worked with Indian Olympic hockey team
Indian sports owe him so much
Gukesh got great sponsor.
Ding needed such kind of support- he lacked financial backing apparently (al least based on Hikaru’s comment on the same)
kinda legend for us!
Awesome !
For the last question he wanted to say ,"Well I play chess in real life. Im the king and you can be my queen"
What a sound mind
Cute girl asked all important questions 😊
Great interviewing skills.
