People who say chess boom happened bcoz of samay, are the ones got to know chess during this covid situation. But chess boom does not only imply to the number of audience but the playing strength of Indian chess i.e, the number of top players which happend only and only bcoz of Vishy Anand. And as far as samay is concerned he is the reason for the boom of audience and he is doing a great job. Ps: Samay got liking for chess bcoz of agadmator
chess got an audience, a seemingly "boring" sport for the common mind, Samay showed us how it can be more entertaining which resulted in more people getting inspired, chess enthusiasts were always there, but samay bought us common non entities(in chess), so he did make a difference, and as you said boom in audience, will result in more viewership and more popularity, why do you think more people aspire to be cricketers then any other sport in India?
@@pranay306 chessbase india already had more than 200k subs before samay started streaming and that was not the total number of chess audience in india. Go do a fact check before you comment
Give credit where it's due bro. Chess boom is not just players it's also audience who got their preconceptions debunked and are interested to play. Samay has done a great job with the resources he had. He did something that nobody ever thought of. Everybody knows what you know just saying.

1st reason should definitely be GM Viswanathan Aanand sir. He truly must have inspired a whole generation to take chess as a career. ❤️ Edit: And.. Yes he is ❤️❤️
Exactly. There are like many Samay fans here who are like it is only and only because of Samay which is ... 😅 kinda nonsense tbh.

I think; Sagar Even your contribution is great; in terms of motivating the Chess enthusiasts, Providing high quality reference books on the Sport, Coaching videos.. Chess is a royal and unique sport ; which needs proper resources and Chessbase India is working systematically in arranging everything needed..!
Vishwanathan Anand is the reason chess is present in India. He is the first grandmaster from India and also a five-time World Champion and also a super Grandmaster crossing an Elo rating of 2800. I have heard his name since my childhood. I'm 19 now. When I was in Jr. Kg. I used to read the GK book where I read his name for the first time. He is the reason for inspiring youth to pursue chess as a career. Today the no. Of GMs you can see in India is simply because of him. Samay created a chess boom in India as new people joined in and he was entertaining them. The main reason is that people think Chess is a boring game. But after watching their streams and Sagar Sir's analysis and commentary we get entertainment along with Chess. Grandmasters like Vidit, Adhiban, Srinath, Anish, Radjabov make it more fun for people to understand Chess. This Chess boom is good for India as many kids will start following chess at an early age, so India can produce more chess players in future.
To all of you guys saying it is only Samay :) --> Umm no. It is not just Samay. I understand Samay introduced a lot of people to chess but there are many people who got inspired by legends like Vishy sir especially most of the IMs ane GMs, they all are inspired mostly by Vishy sir after he became a champion which gave them the motivation to take chess as a career. Vishy really is still such an inspiration for young aspiring players and saying that it is only Samay is umm kinda kiddish. So yeah, this video would be perfect for most of us I guess. And the influence by both of them is so different too. While Samay introduced a new audience to this beautiful game of chess , Vishy sir mostly inspired all the titled players to take chess a career because of which we have soo many GMs in our nation. Both are so different that we just can't compare any of them. Samay OP ❤ Vishy sir OP ❤

Samay Raina has made chess which was not a spectator game and was considered boring as compared to all other sports , fun to watch , made it cool to play when we see our favourite comedian and youtuber playing it and streaming games on TH-cam has many aspects that the game should be fast paced and interesting graphic so that there is constant engagement with the viewer's but streaming chess none of those things , its only the streamer who maintains the engagement and make it interesting and thank you samay Raina u have introduced me to Sagar, vidit, tania and lastly streaming is all together a new skill and don't get offended but even if vishy sir starts streaming , it will be difficult to get the numbers and engagement which samay gets thank you samay for making chess cool and Fun
Thank you, Sagar Shah and ChessBase India team for making chess more popular and interesting in India. Kudos to your efforts! Sagar shah pls pursue your dream of becoming GM, you are so close!
One and only reason is Vishy Anand. What Samay is doing will show result in 10‐20 years in terms of players. Today's young prodigy has nothing to do with Samay Raina and has everything to do with Vishy anand
Ofcourse, I dont think anyone gives Samay credit for the skills that Indian Chess community has, just that he had control on the eyeballs of the masses and guided them there.
ARE BHAI CLEAR BAAT HAI SAMJHO VISHY ANAND BROUGHT CHESS PLAYERS IN INDIA AND SAMAY BROUGHT CHESS AUDIENCE IN INDIA. We clearly know the advantage of vishy. Samay advantage Many chess players in india has left ches due to lack of money. Example nubair shah who will become GM soon still do job.

You are right . But Samay may be the reason of many new GMs because many IM level player leave chess due to lack of money. Nubairshah does job and many more old videos are present on even chessbase india. If samay is able to bring money to chess its effect can be seen in 10 years

Well i don't we need to discuss about samay & other things, it is absolutely clear that the main reason behind India being a chess powerhouse is Vishy Anand. The present GM & IMs are mostly the one inspired by Anand, but we shall also accept the fact that Samay Raina did brought a lot of audience which inspired a lot of chess players to start streaming & I don't think there is any thing wrong about it. No hate to anyone only love from a chess lover ❤❤❤
It is only becuz of samay that chess became hugely popular. If it not were for samay people would have been playing video games and chess's popularity would have actually decreased. Vishy anand might have brought in more chess players but samay raina brought in a huge audience. Again , If it not were for samay, there would only be 500 to maximum 1000 people watching chess.

I recently ordered Dvoretzky endgame manual. Learnt later that it came from Chess base India of Maharashtra. Book is full of subtle points. Love from TN. Jai Hind.
Chess is the only good thing that happend to me in this lockdown time. My first two months were painful but then i started watching and playing this beautiful game, and all this happened bcz of you sagar shah 🙏🙏🙏 and samay😍😍 and vidit.✌️🙏🙏. And Also bcz of all the comedians and GMs. Thank you.
Sagar forgot one of the most important things which helped grow chess in India..you see, India has always had talents, exceptional talents..one major problem was the lack of resources for players and trainers alike, that those talents reach the topmost height...With the information explosion, it so happened that knowledge once privy to chess-heavy areas like the USSR or the USA to an extend, reached everywhere and it was only natural that a talent-heavy state like India benefitted from it..
@Virchow Yes, my point was that in a country which has a high population and ergo a larger pool of talent, who wasn't privy to such an influx of information, info explosion definitely will play a bigger role...and it did..also I don't mean internet alone, even the '91 LPG helped grow Indian chess as the borders opened wider..
So much effort is needed to become a gm. Becoming a super gm is even more tough. With rating above 2700 is even more difficult. We should appreciate their hard work.
Samay made me play chess and watch it by making it entertaining. He is the reason that so many people watch the chess tournaments. Now we can watch the chess tournaments just with the commentary. Samay also made so many GMs stream and he is the main reason for the chess boom according to me. Love you samay bhai❤️
I started learning chess only because of samay's streams because at that time i mean 4-5 months before hu used to do aa lotttt of chess streams and I was like oh man I don't know what he is doing and then I learned chess
- One more reason is indian attachment with chess is naturally Bcz India is origin of chess - Indians are good in Arithmetic and mental games like Chaupar (was in mahabharat and initial stage of ludo. Chaupar -> Pachisi -> Parcheesi -> Ludo ), 12 goti, 16 goti, Chowka bhara, 3 tili etc. - I saw many good chess players of 60-70+ age group but they didn't participate in any tournament
Surely GM Viswanathan Anand is the first reason. But here I would like to bring all your attention the main reason for this rise is due to the parents who are supporting their children to realize their dream. Every tournament I visited I saw lot of parents who are patiently waiting outside the stadium while their children playing. The change in attitude of the parents is the main reason in my view. Salute to all mothers and fathers who are all supporting their children. I also saw the active participation and initiative of parents to conduct tournaments also.
Yes but the main point is viewership and it comes where is entertainment and samay brings that in commentary . And i wish he organised another event and get a good sponsorship and ppl also donate him money and he organised a massive tournament again.
(Acc to me)There should also mention praful zaveri sir's book ....for beginners in chess that book is like survival ...also sagar sir very good and perfect video...Indian chess deserves appreciation❤️❤️❤️ Also u forgot ur contribution to mention ....I have read alot of you and chessbase india team's contribution in Indian chess .
20:23 I want to take part in every chess match organised but the thing is that Chessbase allows only those player who have laptop 💻 or computer 🖥. I don’t have any of them please if possible allow online tournaments to be held in mobile. Please this is my humble request. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.........
All of india's success in the chess community could be traced back to one man and that is ofcourse Anand. Man was the first GM to come out of India in 1988 and is still our best player at the global stage. That says a lot about him. Anyone who makes that first breakthrough in any particular field is more special. Now, chess players have a path they know what they can achieve if they make it in chess. Anand without any chess culture in the country at one point , went on to become the world's best. That too in thr pre internet era
We should aim more higher into Top 10 and Candidates too rather than just creating GMS only, if we can give better framework for financial system by the govt it can improve more
No offline tournament has been conducted in India since March, no standard time control online tournament has taken place, only Olympiads, Asian nations cup, what abt tournaments for non titled players? They have stopped altogether and everyone talks about chess boom in present times
If u had probably paid more attention to watching news about Chess players, u wud have developed interest in Chess long back instead of waiting for someone to stream it for you.
Many say that Samay Raina popularized chess..but he only increased chess audience and casual players. Almost all chess GM's are inspired by Vishy Anand Sir..
Vishy created more chess players, Samay created more audience. Simple logic, nothing to debate.
Precisely
Agree👍
Anand inspired every Indian chess player to take up chess as a career. He is the biggest reason why we have so many GMs.

Wonderful video guruji
Thank you for the detailed explanation. Helped a lot👍👏
I recently ordered Dvoretzky endgame manual. Learnt later that it came from Chess base India of Maharashtra. Book is full of subtle points. Love from TN. Jai Hind.
Aise mai kabhi PPT na dekhu but Sagar bhai ki to dekhni padegi.. Plus chess!!
Everyone in india is Sagar shah proud student
Chess is the only good thing that happend to me in this lockdown time. My first two months were painful but then i started watching and playing this beautiful game, and all this happened bcz of you sagar shah 🙏🙏🙏 and samay😍😍 and vidit.✌️🙏🙏. And Also bcz of all the comedians and GMs.
Thank you.
We don't have 66 GM's but 67 one is the one talking, here. Only fide needs to recognize him by only one more norm
69 GMs currently.
I was so much addicted to cricket since my childhood but i must say chess is even more addictive than any other game thanks to covid
and you are also doing same thing with your streams. thanks Sagar.
6:47 look at the second guy from left
Sagar forgot one of the most important things which helped grow chess in India..you see, India has always had talents, exceptional talents..one major problem was the lack of resources for players and trainers alike, that those talents reach the topmost height...With the information explosion, it so happened that knowledge once privy to chess-heavy areas like the USSR or the USA to an extend, reached everywhere and it was only natural that a talent-heavy state like India benefitted from it..
@Virchow Yes, my point was that in a country which has a high population and ergo a larger pool of talent, who wasn't privy to such an influx of information, info explosion definitely will play a bigger role...and it did..also I don't mean internet alone, even the '91 LPG helped grow Indian chess as the borders opened wider..
So much effort is needed to become a gm. Becoming a super gm is even more tough. With rating above 2700 is even more difficult. We should appreciate their hard work.
Awesome video sir!
Samay made me play chess and watch it by making it entertaining. He is the reason that so many people watch the chess tournaments. Now we can watch the chess tournaments just with the commentary.
Samay also made so many GMs stream and he is the main reason for the chess boom according to me.
Love you samay bhai❤️
I started learning chess only because of samay's streams because at that time i mean 4-5 months before hu used to do aa lotttt of chess streams and I was like oh man I don't know what he is doing and then I learned chess
Very informative video
- One more reason is indian attachment with chess is naturally Bcz India is origin of chess
- Indians are good in Arithmetic and mental games like Chaupar (was in mahabharat and initial stage of ludo. Chaupar -> Pachisi -> Parcheesi -> Ludo ), 12 goti, 16 goti, Chowka bhara, 3 tili etc.
- I saw many good chess players of 60-70+ age group but they didn't participate in any tournament
It was in 2000 I first get to know about chess because of vishy sir and since then it is my only favourite sport.
When I see 'Boom' I think of Karan Singh 😂
Please Can you make a video on how to register for FIDE tournament for under 1800 rated players
They genius's like nihal made me proud to be an indian
Gr8 video!!! I started playing chess coz of samay!!!
Surely GM Viswanathan Anand is the first reason. But here I would like to bring all your attention the main reason for this rise is due to the parents who are supporting their children to realize their dream. Every tournament I visited I saw lot of parents who are patiently waiting outside the stadium while their children playing. The change in attitude of the parents is the main reason in my view. Salute to all mothers and fathers who are all supporting their children. I also saw the active participation and initiative of parents to conduct tournaments also.
For us in telangana in 7th standard in english subject we have a lesson about hampi
Vishy sir were only chess player I know until found samay he introduced me to chess more and made me chess fan
Great video 👏🙏
Samay and online chess olympiad. And all these reason boil down to that one man who revolutionised everything- VISHWANATHAN ANAND🇮🇳
MAN JUST ONE THING TO SAY WHENEVER I SEE UR CHESS VIDEO I SUDDENLY GOT AN URGE TO PLAY CHESS
4f is the square of a legend!😁😁 7:41
Yes but the main point is viewership and it comes where is entertainment and samay brings that in commentary . And i wish he organised another event and get a good sponsorship and ppl also donate him money and he organised a massive tournament again.
Soviet books and friendly terms and influence in indian education were also massive in instilling chess passion in young minds.
Sagar Bhai, miniclips dalo na samay ki tarah
17:56 me thinking why a QUESTION MARK?
Samay inspired me..🤞
My inspiration is my coach and sagar sir with whom my sir's match was played
Vishy Anand is the God of Indian Chess.
Sagar Shah-Samay Raina-Comedians-Public due to internet
whoever says samay raina ,he jst started in lockdown but we already have 66 gm's and many players at FIDE ,and sagar sir is talking about this only...
Sagar, one think i like about your videos is that you don't waste time in the beginning saying hello and all the sugar stuff to the audience
Petition for Sagar's photo to be added in the photos of trainners
(Acc to me)There should also mention praful zaveri sir's book ....for beginners in chess that book is like survival ...also sagar sir very good and perfect video...Indian chess deserves appreciation❤️❤️❤️ Also u forgot ur contribution to mention ....I have read alot of you and chessbase india team's contribution in Indian chess .
20:23 I want to take part in every chess match organised but the thing is that Chessbase allows only those player who have laptop 💻 or computer 🖥. I don’t have any of them please if possible allow online tournaments to be held in mobile. Please this is my humble request. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.........
In all category my sir has students state champions he teaches very good
All of india's success in the chess community could be traced back to one man and that is ofcourse Anand. Man was the first GM to come out of India in 1988 and is still our best player at the global stage. That says a lot about him. Anyone who makes that first breakthrough in any particular field is more special. Now, chess players have a path they know what they can achieve if they make it in chess. Anand without any chess culture in the country at one point , went on to become the world's best. That too in thr pre internet era
*SAGAR SHAH PROUD STUDENT*
We should aim more higher into Top 10 and Candidates too rather than just creating GMS only, if we can give better framework for financial system by the govt it can improve more
No offline tournament has been conducted in India since March, no standard time control online tournament has taken place, only Olympiads, Asian nations cup, what abt tournaments for non titled players? They have stopped altogether and everyone talks about chess boom in present times
I wonder why the number 24 (Time - 4:25) is in smallest font?
Is it only me who started playing chess after samays streams and realised chess is really more than i can ever think 🥳🥳
If u had probably paid more attention to watching news about Chess players, u wud have developed interest in Chess long back instead of waiting for someone to stream it for you.
SAGAR Sir can you name some rated tournaments in KERALA and can you do a video of how to prepare
I think you can mix tourneys in TN karnataka as well
Vishy Anand- The God of Chess ❤️❤️
Many say that Samay Raina popularized chess..but he only increased chess audience and casual players.
Almost all chess GM's are inspired by Vishy Anand Sir..
Sagar Shah for GM ❤️
Bhai sab aagye video mai, bas Janta reh gayi😁
I just realised there are no GM's from my state :(
None in my state either. Two IMs tho
You can take it in 2 ways, one , that you can be sad there isnt one, or two, that you can be happy at the opportunity of being the first GM ;-)
7:00 Vidit Gujarati said that they didn't got any support from the government in the recent chess tournament.
It is bjp govt we cant expect anything from modi
@@dancingharshita2996 Don't bring politics here. I am not even BJP. It's the government officials who handles such things.
And The credit goes to - Sagar Shah
Reading and watching games About Magician from Riga :-Mikhail Tal would definitely make you fall in love with chess. I guarantee you👍
Samay made me believe that chess can be fun
