I like this one: Grischuk: "I slept half of the game. I don't know what I was thinking. Then when I woke up, I see I only have 6 minutes left on the clock."
Magnus' reaction to Vishy's comeback was golden You can see Magnus look down when the reporter asks the second question, like Magnus knows there's disrespect being thrown, and then Vishy just SMACKS that reporter right back and Magnus looks up with a smile
Magnus gets frustrated by these stilly questions quite a bit, I am sure he got a kick out of seeing another great, especially one so respectful as Vishy, point out how silly it is to ask a competitor what amounts to "You lost by being outplayed. How will you win next time?". There's really no better response than the one Vishy gave. Next time you try and outplay them instead.
That Ivan Sokolov quote hits different when you've experienced OTB throws firsthand. I had an OTB game against someone rated nearly 500 points higher than me where I had forced mate and I knew I had it. I wasn't having a great tournament and this was the last game and would've ended things on the highest of high notes. But up 10 minutes to my opponent's 10 seconds, I inexplicably blundered into mate myself. I had never been so beside myself. For the first time in my life, I thought to myself "God, I need a smoke/drink." I remember texting that quote to my roommate before I went to bed that night. That game was 6 months ago and will never not haunt me.
For real. Once i was in first place against some 30 people and up a Queen for a rock against the second seed who was an older man with a much higher rating than mine. The guy went for a kind of foretress and won on time and I just couldnt recover from that and the tournament went all downhill from there
Ouch. Well, on the plus side, sometimes you win those kind of games. I had black against someone of similar strength to me in a pretty lively middlegame. I managed to win a pawn and literally blunder two pawns immediately afterwards. My opponent was one of those guys who struggles and strains with almost every move and, although he had me going backwards, he started to press, thinking that because he was ahead in material, he should be winning for sure. The stress of trying to win a better position got to him and he hung his queen.
Maybe an honorable mention, something along these lines: Q: "Who do you think was the best chess player ever?" Magnus: "Me, three-four years ago." I know there has been some context with which Magnus tried to explain his choice, but for me it is still a pretty savage line. Also, Fischer definitely had some very bold statements.
Vishy lost to Magnus in game 6 and ultimately lost the match. Nepo lost to Magnus in game 6 and ultimately lost the match. In 2018 Caruana missed a win (mate in 30 LOL) against Magnus drew the game but ultimately lost the match. (Blitz tie breaks) Game 6 speaks for itself.
@@nischay4760 my guy, i didn't talk about that match, i just said that knight and bishop andgames are more than 30moves. also knight and bishop mate is fairly complicated for new/intermediate players

oh btw, in starcraft in korean gsl, foreign interviewer asked a question in english and translator John said "thats a stupid question, I'm not asking him that" that was so funny
nice video! my favourite is this one: Danny Rensch "would you like a lesson in bullet?" Aronian "Bullet is fun, but there are other fun things that can last more than one minute"
Of all the great super GMs, is there anyone more calm, humble and peaceful than Vishy? If you've got him upset, chances are - you're the one at fault...
Would like to point out in “The chess speaks for itself,” Magnus beelined straight past media with his head down. Really added to the quality of the clip.
I remember the Maurice interview. It seemed like that was the moment Magnus stopped taking criticisms so seriously, like he got a lot of flack for his response, and it changed him.
I recommend Mr Dodgy's courses on chessable. There are two. The Bongcloud opening book was published on April 1st, and the Eric Rosen "Oh No My Queen" compilation is wonderful too.
I can’t even handle the pressure of playing a live game online. I can only handle playing daily games. And I’m just someone who plays for fun. Can’t imagine the pressure of playing professional / over the board chess in full view of everybody.
There is a really funny Dubov interview where he explains why he hates the rapid time format the most. It should also be said that Dubov was once the rapid world champion.
Most irritating chess video in TH-cam. Levy, let them talk. You talk way too much anyway...
PIN OF SHAME!!!
pin of shame 😮😮
So I'm not the only one who found this irritating. haha
I'm super-impressed that you managed to watch every single chess video on TH-cam, in order to make such an assessment. Props!

Vishy lost to Magnus in game 6 and ultimately lost the match.

I feel something is misssing in my day when i dont watch a Gotham chess video. You re the goat Levy . ( Happy guy when i watch a Gotham video)
The last one was truly priceless. You could feel the man’s emotion
I love the way that Levy makes comparisons and anologies with UFC and chess, really cool
I was hoping for an honorable mention to Andrea Botez “ Question for Magnus, how does the knight move?” 😂😂😭
The best interview so far is Chucky’s interview when he analysis the whole game without even looking at the chessboard
Loving how you manage to merge drama with good chess content😊
Magnus trolling the interviewer after Hikaru played the bongcloud is obviously the best one.
link?
This is the best compilation of interviews I have watched on chess. Also I finally understood what was being said in Anand's interview.
oh btw, in starcraft in korean gsl, foreign interviewer asked a question in english and translator John said "thats a stupid question, I'm not asking him that" that was so funny
the last one was shocking, never seen before and was surprising to watch
Your content is the only thing I can depend on for helping my mood rn since Federer’s retirement hit hard

@Tara Bartholomew Yep, can't imagine why anyone would give a shit about either one, except to laugh...
"Chess players aren't as widely respected as other athletes"...? Didn't know chess players were athletes.

"Duh duh..."

"you gotta be good at predicting the future to be good at chess"

Me before thinking of all Magnus carlsens ‘My fav player is me from 3-4 years ago’ 🤣
Right when I saw the Title I knew Hans was gonna be in this video saying “Chess speaks for itself”
The Sokolov response is an absolutely savage mic-drop moment. Nothing more to be said after that one. Absolutely epic response.
Let's see if he still regrets the game in year 2500. Oh wait, we probably won't :'(
Well.. Chess speaks for itself
You are a great story teller. I'm sure you can keep me glued to the screen watching paint dry. You are amazing
Really enjoyed this format! Great video
"If I was happy with draws I would be a very happy man"
Grischuk with Anish Giri at his side.
That draw was worth the amazing quote

All interviews from Ding are LEGENDERY
“This hasn’t aged very well.”
Man just described Bobby Fischer without realizing it.

Thank you Hans Niemann for beating records by giving us a new best chess interview
These interviews speak for themselves
"chess speaks for itself... I need to head to the toilet before my bead falls out."

the chess has to speak for itself because hans sure cant explain it 🤣

Maurice is kind of the king of bad questions. "So Nepo, you just lost a game, do you still want to win?" like, bruh 😂
That Sokolov's interview in the end got me
you should 100% do most funniest interviews cant imagine there are many but if there are would be cool to see
If he did that it would be just a compilation of Grischchuk interviews
There is a really funny Dubov interview where he explains why he hates the rapid time format the most. It should also be said that Dubov was once the rapid world champion.
The first one didn't feel like an organic response.
"The world champion must be embarrassed to be losing to a loser like me"
Great work!
It always catches me off guard when the MMA analogies come out 😆
I’m shit at chess but I’m addicted to this channel
It's funny because I got into UFC around this time last year and I've been loving these UFC references
Loving the UFC reference. Bobby Knuckles is my favorite fighter
Sounds like Magnus, being the one wining a game and still getting criticized later for it.
My favorite interview is when they asked Magnus and Fabi their favorite players and Magnus said himself from like a couple years ago
Legend says that before recording a video Levy stares at the camera for a few hours
“In 2022 can you imagine an American player saying that to an Indian journalist?”
No Levy… no I can’t. 😂
I wanna do an interview saying "if I'm not gonna kms tonight I'm gonna live 2000 a
years"
What about the Alexander Grishuk “Hall of Shame” one?
nice levy...you deliver so much good stuff☺
I really thought “how does the knight move” we all can’t ever forget that
I would have liked to hear more of the last interview with Magnus
I had my doubts but the last one turned out to be the best one lol
Reminded me of a speech Kasparov held where a something was flying around (if you know, you know)
