Maurice got criticized for being the "engine guy" but he was ahead of his time, nowadays you have the 'evaluation bar' in every game. But Maurice seems professional and I don't think he would care too much about MC being testy. Chess is a game of nerves and as a GM he knows that.
5:12 You missed the best part of that interview. Maurice Ashley: what are your thought on blitz. Magnus Carlsen: its lookin OK, Grischuk is doing extremly well, and hopefully i can continue to win not so smooth games.
to be fair he'd just beaten Magnus carlsen, OTB, in calssical chess. either way you look at it, cheating or not, dude had to be feeling some kind pressure there.
Magnus: I blunderd and he played well, see you tomorrow This is actually a great joke in an interview...if he didn't actually follow through with it, lol.

The awkwardness, the body language, players and interviewers, everything and everyone behaves so similarly. If you told me this was all from Counter-Strike tournaments it would make perfect sense.
Yeah good stuff, though the channel creator probably risks a copyright strike if he gets too big, from jealous competitors, as he is reusing their clips. Sad but true in today's overly heavy copyrighted society.
Most of that was funny, not bizarre! As for the testy answers--Either they are upset they lost or the interviewers ask dumb questions (or both like Anand's answer). Then there is Hans, okay Hans is bizarre sometimes.
1:16. Dang, I thought Fabi had a pretty big and shiny forehead, but that living milk dud has one heck of a head! The brightness of his forehead is brighter than my future too! Hopefully my therapist won’t tell me that living milk duds aren’t real, because I know they are!
Damn.. even when he’s just cracking jokes, he’s still the absolute undisputed GOAT. Great job saving him tho the very end, it actually justified the entire video.
*For those who dont understand the first video:* Hikaru makes more money from buying stocks than from chess (he's rich af).

Funny stuff! Grischuk is maybe the funniest overall. Nobody gives a deadpan delivery quite like that guy. But Carlsen and the other cracked me up a few times as well.
