GothamChess And Vidit Dive Into The Emotions Of The Candidates! 

“2727 nice and even rating” - Levy never fails to call an odd number even 😂

There are very few chess players who actually act normal in an interview, and Vidit is one of them.. Good Job Gotham chess

This guy seems so charismatic and just a person you would have so much fun to hang out with

Bro was so happy before the tournament 😭😭

Perfect timing for this release after yesterdays games. Such disgusting things were said about Vidit online. Important to humanize these competitors. They are not machines

Vidit seems like a really chill and nice guy, hope he does better in future candidates.

17:53 "If you like someone, u feel strongly but you know there's no chance that something is going to lead" "I'm married, I wouldn't know" That was greatt lol

my fav interview so far, Vidit is a real one

I've watched all of of Gotham's interviews so far and Vidit feels super relatable even at 17:43 he just like me fr

Sept 9th, 50 days before Grand Swiss '23, Robert Hess commented Vidit is one of the favourites to win the Grand Swiss. Everybody went silent after he said it, but I'm proud to say I believed it too.

Petition to include Chess in the Olympics

Dina will surely watch this interview.

vidit at least should get a beer from Ian for literally stopping hikaru

Vidit will always be the people's champion. Very decent player. It is really hard to see him lose after a great performance 😢

in every interview there is “an elephant in the room” - lots of elephants there in Toronto

i like this conversation , you can't hate mr vidit .

I hope he wins the remaining games! I'm rooting for him so I was kinda upset when he lost to Nepo although he had a couple of chances to win.

Damn Vidit and Levy have the best handshake so far in this series

I have found such appreciation for Vidit this candidates, especially after yesterday’s game vs Nepo. It’s so easy to go “oh he missed chances to win and then to draw and he risked it”. But then you usually hear people say that chess is boring and it’s always a draw. This man pushed and pushed, yes that left him vulnerable and lost, but it was one of the most exciting games I’ve seen. Vidit is a Monster hats off to you, sir!

Of all the supa GMs I find Vidit's vibe the best. I recognize he's spiritually centered and at a place of non-attachment. You know in the history of chess there's usually one one person who dominates while everyone else swims toward the top. All of these players have very different personalities - but one thing is in common: they are all extremely intelligent. Vidit is a true unique player

This was the most friendly interview Levy did.

I love seeing Vidit like this, hes so humble and has a great smile that just says: "Hey look im a nice guy"

Vidit is so unrated as a player specifically calculation

I think he is the only one who also said like subscribe to gothamchess which i loved personally because where an interview is all about you and your opinion, its nice to receive the same for the other person and like showed his emotions so well. Such an articulate person and also a great player.💓 Easily one of my favorite players. Loved the interview!

I WILL BET ON YOU SIR, YOU ARE LIKE A FIGHTER, AND WE NEED SOME ONE LIKE YOU AS FUTURE WORLD CHAMPION NOT LIKE THE EXISTING ONE.

Humble king vidit

So far in the candidates the tournament got exciting only because of Vidit... He didn't even play a single boring game

Vidit is the most articulate of alll the candidates! He's a fun guy

Vidit is a gentleman and a scholar, he has a bright future both in chess and due to his impressive presence

Vidit is best, very nice interview, thanks Levy 🎉❤

He is such a nice guy I'm feeling bad for him after today's game

Vidit, you are amazing. Know that. All you can do is fight and you have absolute no control over the result. What makes you brave is that you fought and you fought fair.

VD is so humble.. hearing his thoughts is always a pleasure

Im so impressed by everyone you've interviewed so far. Growing up my impression of top level chess players were that they were dour and single minded like the Grandmasters from the Soviet school at best, or lunatics like Fischer at worst. It's nice seeing people as down to earth and friendly as Vidit at the top level!

Darn, ended up liking Vidit more because of this interview. Seems very humble.

My man.. i love him more than any other player simply because how humble he is and he dont give up at all.. ❤

i think vidit is the GM version of levy.

vd, you can still do it... you are my favourite and mostly everyone's❤❤ you still will be our favourite , we love you...

Vidit is the coolest grandmaster he has a balance of everything the composure ,the chess ability , personality everything he is very relatable

11:47 VD will code his own chess engine 😂

Vidit is a great player, very creative and his games are always fun to watch but if there is one thing he's missing it's self confidence. He should believe in himself more because it all starts in the mind. if you believe you can do it, you're already half way there. i say this with love, im not criticizing him. I wish him all the best ❣

There is something subconscious holding back vidit, I feel he much better player than he performs

Vidit is the most humble player❤

you are an inspiration vidit❤

That handshake at the end was the best handshake chess community has ever seen LOL

I started following Chess and continue to do so just because of Vidit ❤❤

5:40 I fully believe Levy was dwelling that deep because he suffers from those thoughts too as he has mentioned various times.

Levy was caught off guard by Vidit's honesty in the start. Levy didn't seem to be betting on Vidit honestly based on the recent live with Sagar but he was too polite to say no to it to hi face.

0:00 Levy: "IM LEVY ROZMAN" on the screen: "IM LEVY ROZMAN"

Vidit speaks the host and Levy speaks like the guest haha, love it

Such a nice guy , was hard to see him lose

This is the best interview of this series. I will watch it again haha.

I thought this was going to be another boring candidates tourney but now Gukesh and Mostly Vidit just made things amazingly fun to watch

wow 3 years of meditating every day!

This interview made Vidit one of my favourite GMs, he sounds so genuine.

Vidit is an inspirational person. We love you ❤

Just play your heart out Vidit, we all love & respect you no matter what happens! 🩵

Love this interview format where we learn more about the players as persons. Certainly more interesting than postgame interviews

Nice interview, Levi seems much more comfortable than in previous interviews

Hes very good and natural with English, so nice relatable guy. I hope he does well

To me Vidit is the nicest of all the professional players.

Vidit is the people's champion ❤

His games were thrilling

Such a charismatic guy, best interviewee so far right next to Vishy and Hikaru

I would love to hang out with vidit, he seems such a chill guy

I was waiting for this interview.🔥 Tough Luck against Nepo .Best of luck for the rest of Tournament.

Vidit is an extremly good-looking chess player and also seems like a really nice guy. I'm baffled 🙈

अपना बेस्ट देना विदित❤

I love Vidit so much...he is my favorite chess grandmaster forever ❤❤❤❤

Olympic chess would be amazing

I really like vidit simply because of the kind of person he is! Love from India ❤️

I've become a huge fan of Vidit. Whether he loses or wins doesn't matter I'll support Vidit for the rest of his chess career

I think, this your BEST interview so far in The Candidates, Levy! Congrats!!! You're really the best Chess RU-vidr!👍👏👏👏

All those interviews are so cool, thank you Gotham and those who makes it possible!

His games are the most interesting in Toronto. Even when he is losing.I like Vidit as a person

VD you’re my favorite and will always be ❤❤

Cool interview, good vibes. First time I've seen Vidit speak and he's a likeable chap.

Levy played that smooth when asked directly to his face "would you bet money on me winning?" 🤭

oh, vidit loves to code. That is awesome to hear

Vidit rocking that 90s style jacket

Vidit should be nothing but proud of his Candidates' performance. Brilliant chess and an amazing fighting spirit. I became a huge fan. Much love from Brazil!

Does anyone else hear Surya in the way Vidit talks? I have listened to Vidit interviews in the past but he sounds different lately.

7:10 levy talking about rose namajunas!!

Gosh vidit is such a gem of a person Kudos and great work levy to make these interviews My view has definitely changed about vidit after watching this interview

i now love vidit. Great personality, Vidit, fabi, so and anish definately have the best personality

Wonderful interview. Vidit is so articulate and may I say charming. How could anyone dislike this sweet man! Go Vidit, you can still cause some upsets and turn this tournament upside down! Time to get some wins in!

I love Vidit man, great job Levy!

He's such a down to earth guy.

Given options: Option A and Option B Goutam Gambhir be like: Option C VD be like: Both A and B😂

“You were in time trouble, I imagine” when is he not lol, Vidit has been living and dying by time trouble.

I think Vidit is getting hate because he beat Hikaru and because of that Hikaru may not win the candidates 😮

Top 10 chess players (super gms) ranked by their personality outside of chess--- (my opinion) 1. Vishy 2. Anish 3. Garry 4. Vidit 5. Magnus 6. Hikaru 7. Mamedyarov After 7 i can't think of super gms who are not too nerdy and who understands humour like other people

Most interactive interview levy has taken

You are always a champ for us VD💙❤👑👑

thanks levy......ur videos are really helping chess to gain more popularity and value....thank u

Vidit is so charismatic

Great interview! Chill guy, humble

My man is so real.. ❤❤ king

This was some good content. Interesting and fun to watch. Thank you 😊

I've made respect for these Indian players....he borrowed Gukesh's suit just for the interview.... what a guy 😭
