Thank you:) We are mainly on audio-based podcast platforms, but decided to try and put out the video to see if people are interested. Will keep it in mind if we go forward with longer videos and not only shorts!
Hey man, great interview and best of luck with the channel. Getting Magnus on is a good start :) (if I was to make a small suggestion, maybe the camera is too close or zoomed in to the subject, it'd feel more natural if it was a bit further out)
Hi ❤ Thank you! Sjakksnakk is mainly on audio based platforms, but we are talking about expanding to RU-vid. A new camera setup must be in place for that, I totally agree. This one is optimised for shorts and reels. Thanks for your praise and engagement ❤
Well the channel is not well established the interview would definitely blowing up in future they should just make some shorts showing highlights of this interview make frame easy to watch and wait
@@MrSupernova111 1:04:20 Looks like he's even checking his watch to see how much longer he has lmao. He looks bored as hell, the head hanging to the side as he sits there in silence waiting for a question to answer.
Thats because most people like you care more about the way someone speaks rather than what they speak. Which is also why we have the leaders we have and also why we have so many charismatic scammers.
I doubt Carlsen will be the clear and dominant #1 in the world over the next five years. I think its becoming painfully obvious that Carlsen already has one foot outside of the elite circles of chess. He talks about Fischerandom and faster time formats but that's just an excuse to walk away from the level of prep required to play classical. My guess is that Carlsen will be just another top 10 player within the next three years (2024-2027) at which point he'll just make occasional/guest appearances at elite events. At that point we might have another clear #1 and dominant chess player from the younger generation. I don't blame him though. I'm sure a lot of sacrifices have to be made from a very young age to become the generational talent like him. At some point people just want to enjoy life.
