EXCLUSIVE: Arjun Erigaisi on his ‘Superhuman’ performance at the Chess Olympiad?| Sports Today 

where's the lie?

chess players are rarely diplomatic.. on the contrary they are savage and brutally honest .. Vishy MAgnus are prime examples

Well, that's who Arjun is. By his mannerisms, he seems timid, but on the board and in his head (and in reality), he is bold.

He is just 18 so just recollect how you were talking when you were 18

​@@SpacexTitanicHe is 21 now...still young though.

you don't get English. It's not literal meaning buddy. Cool down.

Our stupid media likes to sensationalize everything

Buddy i don't he is misunderstanding it for actual massacre either still ​@pe1145

Ding is humble person

sweet hua toh kya achar daale uska..

Wasn't keeping up India's flag enough?? Is Telangana outside India?

​@@pankajparihar9557ye south ke log idli sambhar zyada khate hai, inka dimaag saala upma ho jata hai.. tbh ye khud ko alag samajhte hai, elitist/narcissistic nature h kaafio ki.. Kehne ko hindu hain, lekin north k mandiro mein jaane se bachte hai, inko lagta sab bade hindu mandir keval south mein hai.. inko lagta hai ye sabse best hai.. Especially northern part of Bharat k logo se bohot chidte h. Bhagwan ka aashirvad hai k chess players mein abhi tak aisi koi chutiyape wale lakshan nahi dikhe hai..

Better than average news channel for sure but way below par than what a sports channel should do. Very generic and already asked questions with even inaccuracies. But, still a good job at research for whatever they said, and better than their last coverage. In any case, for chess interviews, ChessBase India is there anyways.

@@_sayan_roy_ yeah agreed but given how bad i have seen the other interviewers were, this is looking better. There they don’t even understand what is elo, chess olympiad, candidates and all

news channel dont know the details of game and neither do they take efforts to understand them. they just want to stay trending and interview players or vishy. hence their interviews are so weird and surface level. but theres also a plus point to it because they have greater reach so it gets the topic across to more people as compared to viewership of such niche channels who focus only on chess or a particular sport

Ladiese....wtf

It's like people say brain ain't braining or something like that 😂

you are also lady

You are thai import

NO INDIAN PLAYER HAS GROWN THE UNWANTED ATTITUDE DESPITE REACHING THE HEIGHTS,hope OTHER sports personalities learn it too

good prediction

Ding is not winning a single game

@@PrimeeeeeTie give some respect to world champion bro😄😄

@@dev560 with gukesh current form i dont see him loosing a singke game against ding bro. Draw yes loss no

@@PrimeeeeeTie I also know that ding is not in good form ...but remember this "form is temporary...class is permanent" yes ofcourse gukesh is way better right now...but it doesn't mean ding can't win even 1 game ...and also don't forget ding already crossed 2800 once ...so don't under estimate him ..I predict ding can win only 1 game ....check this after the world championship...this is my prediction... Game 1) draw 2)gukesh 3)draw 4) gukesh 5)draw 6)draw 7)ding 8) gukesh 9)draw 10)draw 11) draw 12) gukesh

Not wrong though comparing dukesh and ging performance

And Arjun used the word for God sake

​@@RudraRaut-tx2fyit's ding liren, and he is currently dealing with mental issues.

@@shreeveda why u hurt , they didn't used it in literal sense ! 💀 People getting offended in every single thing now a days ..

American president use the f word in public news channel interviews . Do their public get offended? .. And massacre is not any kind of slang also😂

Learn to appreciate while we have it .. 😊 not everyone is chess player professionally , this guy is making content for general public so that they could understand more about this achievement of Indian chess.. and I think he Asked Authentic questions that actually mattered and cause of our Win

​@@Nobody-xe7sino, as one of the leading media channels, they need to do better.

@@SR-fs2fd if you want detailed analysis of tournament there are plenty of chess based channels doing it , since it's a general sports channel u won't see any of them discussing too deeply , first of all our purpose should be that general public needs to be aware of such a phenomenal feat our Indian chess teams achieved , generally people are not even aware what's happening in chess world ! Only chess enthusiasts like us follows chess dedicatedly

What the hell? These were amazing questions! What do you want? Chess analysis? Go to some chess channels. This is an interview of a chess player regarding his team winning the Olympiad.

target audience varies.

Bhai Mind your own business

* 200-250 elo pts below him

No body asked we know but Arjun was 2nd best this time

* 10/11

@@KhemPandit-i5q arjun came in with a higher rating than gukesh he (arjun) should've been 1st board or 2nd board at the very least but 3rd board? most 2780 players can score 10/11 on the 3rd board against players 200 elo pts lower it's not a big accomplishment

@@rossw1365 if Arjun was not in third board we could have been in position 3 grow up kid

Chess enthusiasts like me also feel the same. But let them do it. At least more people will get to know these players. These players need this recognition. So look at the brighter side. India should know that now it's not only vishy...there are others also...his disciples...

Yeahh don't need to get pissed on this .. I have seen so many people getting pissed like this in many videos , it's okay for them to ask normal questions so that general public could also understand this feat of Indian chess .. enjoy it , and don't cope

Very true! All questions to Arjun are about him playing Board 3?! Obviously it must have been a team decision and it has worked wonderfully well. To his credit Arjun has been level headed and gracious in his answers. Arjun and Gukesh 🌟🌟

This guy should research properly before speaking. Prag played all rounds for India too. Geez, Indian media seldom knows anything except cricket.

​​@@bullymaguire8266 you should be the one doing the research, pragg didn't play in round 2 against iceland

North Indian? Man i feel sad that it has come to this why so much hate between people of the same nation

Mind you vidit Tania Divya they are also northindians why so much ego for being from the southern part of the nation

And Arjun used the word masacare ...are you dumb

@@triggerdriver1735 Vidit and Divya are Central Indian. The effect of 1000+ year invasions goes down as you go South. They razed down the cultures in the Indo-Gangetic plains and notice that is where you see such anchors come from. Only in holy places is the true Indianess alive there otherwise it's gone.

@@SR-fs2fd so you're saying that me who's from Bihar and people that are from Punjab and up and west Bengal gujrat and Rajasthan are not Indians the Bengalis that fought for the freedom the Marathas and Sikhs that fought the Mughals and all the Rajputs what are we ?
