Sometimes we underestimate the amount of effort Sagar and Amrutha have to put in just to be 100% equipped for an interview with Magnus, yet managing to keep it fun loving and enjoyable. Then to edit the videos in near real time and put it up on youtube. It makes me feel once in a while how difficult would it be for us to access premium chess content without you guys... I have very few words to explain what you guys have been doing for chess. Oh wait I have 2... "Thank You".
Absolutely. Against a field where literally everyone is a monster and has been doing it for their entire life; keeping them at bay is incomprehensible for mere mortals. 💀
Bare vi fra Norge kan forstå Magnus og hans humør svingninger. Han er veldig god. Jeg bruker appen han for å spille mere sjakk. Han lærer bort sine trekninger trikser og det er ikke mange som ville gjort det.
The contrast between the official press conference after the tournament and this interview is so stark! Carlsen was literally bored at the venue, but here he is so jovial and gleaming with pride!
And certainly your interviews are more enjoyable and show more of the personal sides of the players because you are just nice guys asking interesting questions, better than these standard questions that are flooding the FIDE channel e.g. You give it a more personal touch with your style of questioning, being humble and all around appreciative. Magnus rarely feels completely comfortable in interviews like this, so seing him outgoing and comfortable like this is a credit to your personalities as well. Honestly, I love you guys and wish you all the best, btw (a little bit off-topic) also for the amazing Indian chess players your country creates. Great work and all the best from Germany 🇩🇪
Sagar Shah has long been a legend here in Germany. Number one channel for interviews and backstage insights and of course the great funny content with players like Vidit Gujrathi, Anish Giri and so on. Simply incredible! And yes, Sagar Shah in particular makes the difference as a person! The politeness, but also the closeness and humour with which he talks to the players distinguishes him from the others. It was through him that I first got to know and appreciate the Indian chess world, a great country with many good young players.
Very nice to see mC so calm and open and intersted in telling about the games etc . On Norwegian TV hes usually very short, but those interviewers dont know anything about chess. . Cudos to the interviewers for making that happen
This is a repeat comment from last years edition. When the interviewer is genuinely interested, magnus just loves discussing games, any random questions and it's just amazing. Magnus interview makes my day, wish it could last for an hour more
I don't think anyone in the chess world have this ability to interview GMs like Sagar. The way he conduct the interview it feels so genuine. And addition to that by putting chess board to understand the game shows how much concern he has for all the viewers.❤️
you can tell this sagar fellow really loves chess, he knows all the games, all magnus' moves, and he's ACTUALLY interested in the questions he's asking. other people are just saying stuff trying to get footage it seems. Magnus probably can feel the difference
Excellent interview. Magnus can get easily bored during interviews, which he’s never shy to show. You did a great job keeping him interested, mixing a bit of analysis of his games (which he’s always eager to discuss) with some more fun/casual stuff.
Very nice interview by Sagar. Thanks for transporting the joy, fun and emotions of chess. Magnus doing an interview with you is also a tribute to your great work you do in promoting chess. Good questions and good vibes all around imo. Thanks for your great work and all the best for you guys in the upcoming new year. Cheers from Germany to India and all chess fans around the globe
Sagar provides the behind-the-scenes content and interviews that FIDE should be putting out. His constant enthusiasm and effort for filming so many games and interviews gives a much richer view of the chess world for the fans
@@gagandeepsinghbindra : That's not what @Bluefire is saying. CBI and its hosts have elements of International appeal that make them relatable to other cultures. 👍
What an amazing interview! Magnus is so deeply engaged because of the infectious enthusiasm and deep insights Sagar brings to the table. And of course the razor sharp questions Bravo 👏🏼 🙌🏼
What a BRILLIANT interview! Thank you Sagar, so incredibly refreshing seing a chessplayer interviewed about the chessgames, not just the results. Magnus' insight is basically the most interesting stuff you can get. Thank you :) Its also obvious he enjoys getting interviewed by you guys.
OMG I've been waiting for this interview for so long! Finally a tradition lol. Loved this tournament so much from the start to the end. Magnus' insane domination is still very much alive. Everyone played their hearts out and the guy still won both the tournaments. Of course, the gold medal for the best coverage goes to Chessbase India. Best content, no question!❤💯
I love Magnus interviews when he's in this mood. Hearing his passion for a chess match like the one against Rapport and that he didn't care whether he won/lost because of the adrenaline involved - I love that! It was like listening to a teenager describing their favourite game from an Under 16s tournament.
Great interview! You can see his eyes light up when you ask about the games. That's what a lot of chess interviewers miss, is that these players are here for the chess and what they bring to the table. They want to talk about the games.
It is always great to listen the thought process of these Super GMs especially the one who is the greatest of all time. Thanks sagar for these amazing interviews you do. Your ability to make GMs comfortable while the interview is remarkable.
I've never seen magnus give a interview with such excitement and animated hand movements, maybe sagar sirs love of chess and the fact he generally ask chess questions make magnus more interested in giving the interview, great work CBI and sagar sir❤️🎊✨️
Great work Sagar and ChessBaseIndia always putting up the board when players talk about their games is fantastic for the audience and I really appretiate it. Keep up the good work.
This is the best Magnus interview out their on internet. he outpoured himself and explain his joy of winning the tournament. Thanks Sagar bhai & Amruta Ma'am.
I bet anyone who sees this interview cannot help themselves from subscribing to the channel!...Sagar is such a pro...he makes its so sweet and and professional at the same time....he has a knack which is very difficult to crack!...Sagar's style of interviews are so refreshing to watch!..Kudos my man!...you and Amruta deserve ever last bit of success that you've been getting!
To say this is the best interview ever would be an understatement. To be listening to the world champion, a genius is so mesmerising. Kudos to Sagar and CBI, you guys have pulled out a gem. Already listening to it for the second time. If if anybody doesn't know Jack about chess but k nows the personality i.e. Magnus they would just love it. Absolute masterclass from both the world champion and a world class chess content creator. Love it..
Actually I think the parallels between Magnus and Messi is pretty similar in regards to their respective "GOAT" status. I'd actually argue that Messi is less debatable than Magnus, particularly after his recent World Cup win -- but also not too dissimilar now to Magnus winning the Rapid and Blitz titles again.
@@procrastinator1727 true, now Messi has significantly edged clear of others. But à year or 2 back people were still debating for weird reasons. Magnus honestly has been Goat for like 10 years now, with absolutely no opponent. So i still feel he was more dominant until very recently. Now I guess they are definitely equal though.
At 5:14 Magnus knew exactly the game which was earlier played by Fischer had the same position and thinking if he would respond the same way. Good luck to his opponents winning against him
These interviews by Sagar are insightful, probing and bring home the sheer joy of the game. Nothing else comes close. The fact that Magnus himself is so honest in these interviews,, revealing his own fears and delights while engaging in the discussion is itself the biggest tribute to Sagar! Thanks on the behalf of all chess fans to Sagar - for his dedication and devotion to chess. Fantastic.
This is without a doubt the most enjoyable interview I've seen Magnus in. Loved to hear his thought process about some other things and not just the moves! Awesome work!
That's an interview of pure class ❤️ I couldn't recall a conversation where magnus goes about saying things on his own. He mostly limits himself to answering just the questions being asked. And oh Sagar sir, you missed the game against Shakh 😁
Sagar - thank you so much my dear sir! What a brilliant, insightful and enjoyable interview! Congratulations to Magnus for a truly superb performance, and to his competitors (particularly Richard Rapport and Nodirbek Abdusattorov) for making the tournaments all the more exciting.
Wow! what an great interview👍He is so relaxed here and so great that you show the chessboard on the screen when he talk about the games. Quality content👍👍
Thank you for the interview, great interview! It feels refreshing to hear genuine excitement and passion from an interviewer and you can clearly see that the feeling was contagious to Magnus, you got him to speak from his heart, wonderful job!
The whole video I had a big smile on my face. Never seen Magnus is so comfortable giving an interview. Excellent work Sagar bhai. Keep up the good work.
This is certainly one of the best interviews of Magnus as he himself is interested in interacting with Sagar and Amruta. Kudos to both of you for this amazing interview.
Excellent, excellent interview. Amazing ChessBaseIndia and a jubilant Magnus Carlsen in his top form. This itself is by far one of the top-3 contents of 2022 for me. Enjoyed every second of it
Damn really makes you realize how much better these interviews are when they're done by genuinely passionate respectful players. At least I assume the guy plays Chess. You got some pretty interesting insights here and kept it fun, nice work.
magnus loves chess the way he speaks after the age of 30 is just completely different from earlier. I remember i first saw in 2013 world championship at that point it felt like he was a genius who do not want to talk to public and now the way he was explaining his game against richard is totally different from 2013 magnus
Such a likeable guy 😃 With the skiing, the fresh air, effects of coffee. And so many emotions. And then being so calm when arriving with 30s left on the clock. So funny 🤣
Magnus just open up his mind and talking with full of his heart to Sagar ... This not happens with other interviewers .. congratulations to magnus ... And I wish Sagar will have a great future ..
Magnus is king of chess for probably another few years. Before he won the classical title back in 2013 he had been the de facto strongest player in the world for many years but he had to prove in in classical match situations. Now he has decided to give up playing more computer preps than he has to. Doesn't matter as long as he keeps winning every format, he's still the GOOT
Magnus has been giving great interviews to you Sagar. This one is truly special as I have never seen Magnus speaking so candidly aside from his twitch streams ofcourse, but it's great to know his thoughts on classical chess because I also think that it is getting boring with all the draws but it should not go away as the quality of play is higher so fischer random as classical would be amazing or something else to incentivise players to take risks and fight hard. It's good to know that he will still play few classical tournaments every year.

He is also an IM, though they cant be as good as GMs but still they can replicate the whole game just looking at it once.
