I Challenged Former World Champion Vishy Anand to a Chess Match 

The second game was intense! Well played Nemo. And kudos to Vishy for doing this!

Big respect Nemo and Vishy. Taking the game very seriously. Vishy is clearly considering Nemo as a good player, which is of course the case.

The fact that Anand is in 11th place in the FIDE ranking in his 50s is really mind-blowing! The man is such an inspiration :)

Nemo trying to flag the lightning kid is a bold move.

Playing the LEGEND and one of the GOATs himself !!! He is a rare sociable gentleman in today's world !!!

Nemo : I try to flag people Vishy: haven't you seen my match against Hikaru?

He learned to play chess from his mother when he was six years old. By the time he was 14, he had won the Indian National Sub-Junior Championship with a perfect score of nine wins in nine games. He is an Indian chess grandmaster, a former five-time World Chess Champion and a record two-time Chess World Cup Champion. He became the first grandmaster from India in 1988, and he has the eighth-highest peak FIDE rating of all time.

"I'm hanging in there, but you're dangerous!" sure he's winning, but that's a hell of a compliment to get from a former world champ and chess legend.

4:10 'Feeling is mutual which is usually why I try to do the mating'😂😂😂😂 wdym

it's the part where he is able to tell you how you could have beaten him, and you probably didn't see it.

Anand is an autodidact. For someone who grew up in a country that had no chess system or academy like the US and Russia in the 70s his story is truly remarkable. Today all chess playing country's have chess academy's including India so todays gen is very lucky. Anand learnt mainly from books as a youngster.

if vishy has to think for more than 10 seconds, you have played great. well done nemo

Vishy is *almost* 55 years of age and has a classical rating of 2750+. Unimaginable in modern day chess !!!

Vishy is not only a GREAT champion, but also a wonderful, gentle person. AND Nemo held her ground. Well played!

Gentleman Vishwanath 💝 and BEAUTIFUL Nemo❤

Vishy is absolutely one of my favorite chess personalities. Always a gentleman yet with fantastic tactical acumen.

That was an absolute pleasure to watch. Thanks for this gift. It was fun to see Vishy in action and you almost had him the 2nd game!

I love Anand, he is so kind (the persona I don't know him)

“Yes, I play casual blitz when I get together with old friends” - The guy is talking about LEVITOV CHESS WEEK!

Imo Anand is on the Mount Rushmore of chess in terms of strength. Really nice of him to do this.

He is such calm, composed and thoughtful with the answers 😊 No hyper excitement, no controversy ever. Just a pure Gem of a person 😊 And loved that background Music in tense moments 😅

All I see is a great, knowledgeable and humble man

He started showing the critical variation @7:00, an absolute treat to watch.

Beware of old men in a profession where they die young - AC

Vishy is so cool 😎

3:28 could've said that without "old" lmao 💀

I have the utmost respect for anyone who goes deep into the subject of their choice. Vishwanathan Sir breathes chess and his sheer love and dedication for the game even after so many years of playing it and being one of its greatest players is beyond commendable. Such passion for anything goes beyond any kind of materialism and is nothing less than meditation.

Honestly I can watch this forever. Vishy playing casual chess has to be the best content of YT!

Very nice! I'm glad you discussed the importance of opening prep these days. I think a lot of older master level players are in denial about the importance of opening prep (to some degree) starting at the intermediate level. These days, even at the amateur level is hard to play without opening prep. Amateurs might not understand all the moves they memorized but if they can lead their opponent into some trap or some other memorized line then its enough to win the game against a player of similar strength. I neglected this area of my game for many years and I'm sure it hindered my growth. These days I work on all aspects of the game and my rating is rising fast.

Lovely video. Nice to see the post game analysis by Vishy Sir.

Oh wow, awesome video format! The time format, the players, the banter, the editing, the audio quality, all outstanding! Made me feel like I was there playing with Nemo 👍

The way Vishy played the first game, he let the attack come in so much, that I would be sweating to see 2 rooks and a queen hovering near my king. We saw right through that attack that he will be able to defend it and come out on top. Really shows, that sometimes reacting passively to an opponent's threat is not a good option but a better might be a counterattack. Really great game.

He was called the lightning kid!

Magnus said vishy has an unbelievable natural understanding of the game and it shows . His chess brain works so differently .just casual brilliance

damn crazy playing actual games vs vishy AND asking interesting questions at the same time

You played with the Lagend of Indian Chess... The man who is still the face of chess in India... Many many congratulations Nemo❤

amazing,,,playing while conversing with the 5x world champ is far worth more than the result...keep it up!

Besides this game being interesting, I was amazed by the way it was shot with a cinematic system, it was extraordinary

17:40 narrator: he was not, in fact, winning (White plays Kf4 with a double attack on the knight and pawn - Black cannot save both)

No BS! Classy quality content. Kudos! The games were really intense and captivating.

Very impressed with Nemo. You held your own brilliantly against the legend. I don't know what would have happened if the time scramble hadn't hit you in the end.

both matches were so close, nemo held her own. GG

Wow that second game you played very well! Congrats

I know how nemo is on her streams, and i absolutely love her, yet the poise she maintains around vishy says a lot about vishy. he might have an amazing aura for that to happen.

Former Five Time World Champion would have been more precise caption.

Great editing on this video! Look forward to seeing more content like this. ❤

I have no words when it comes to describing Vishy. I wish I could some day meet him in person and touch his feet, for he rekindled Chess in India!

See how Humble and Polite and a kind Nemo actually is. I just Love it.💖Super down to earth girl💖✨

Vishy can be avery good narrator.Such calmness.

Super high quality video she definitely deserves 1 million subs. Thanks for this video ❤❤

8:31 The subtle enjoyment in the eyes of the cinematographer!

4:17 in any other environment that conversation will go straight to HR

That Rook sac in c2 in the second game was truly a game-changing GM move!

Vishy is always been my favorite chess player since I was in college back to the 90's. He never underestimates his opponent.

Wow very nice video, cool editing and bg music, ofcourse interesting chess

enjoyed that thanks a lot for posting! Amazing play as well

What a humble man

😂nemo expecting her opponent to give her hints is kinda funny

In the final position from the last game after Ne4+ that Vishy mentioned, there is Kf4 with a draw.

video quality is top notch.

anand is real GOAT of chess first asian GM and he doesn't even have parents into chess like pragg gukesh but still he is one of the top finest player

What a lovely video😊 Such a nice interaction Great games Guess you wasted too much time trying to milk the d6 weakness

2nd game was amazing 🤩

It will be fantastic to see Vishy Sir playing titled tuesday. I mean he is called madras tiger for a reason.

Like the way they both are moving their pieces

Really Nemo : Feeling is Mutual which is why I usually try to do the Mating !!!!😂😂😂

Nemo, u tried to play like Nepo sometimes with flashes of brilliance and blunders😂😂🎉🎉

The circle you just talked about on Twitch could be translated with reciprocal knights.

nemo really pressed in that 2nd game

beautiful and knowledgeable thanks nemo

The end part where she was too overwhelmed and just blamed on youtube is funny

Finally I found my Nemo😅

Nemo, always so respectful ❤

Vishy looked worried about the 999th possibility.

Love vishy's style of play

It's a pleasure to play with vishy Anand sir 🇮🇳🙏🏻

Beautiful music and video , legend

Cool video format and yes you tend to get shy on RU-vid vids 😆

She played like Elo1000 , there were so many good moves in my mind

Second match was really awesome

Once again, Vishy's KNIGHT came to the rescue !!

intense

impressive second game

He respect you😊thats why he was serious

Glad Nemo had played with Vishy. Great to play with the legend.

Want to learn more about Nemo. Big respect for her now. Appreciate her for this video.

I would love to see a simul with vishy vs nemo+levy+sagar+botez sisters. I think Levy & sagar would be ofc way too hard opponents & it's kinda difficult but like comon it's the old but not obsolete genius goat of chess vs current chess content creators.

Excellent second game.

man nemo had vishy on the ropes in game 2. Problem is if you give a stronger opponent a whiff of counter-play they will win or salvage the draw 9 out of 10 times. But Nemo should take chess a bit more seriously than the other female chess content creators out there. She has good potential to become a GM

She faught extremely well

in the final position there is Kf4 that draws because after fxg6 kxe4 the pawn ending is drawn. Even Vishy Anand is human guys

Can't miss to watch vishy sir game ❤

Nemo trying to distract him but Anand is not phased

The OG GOAT vishy anna humble enough to play with you

I’m only doing a film on chess so I can have Nemo as my consultant.

one of the best videos ever

My favourite chess influencer and my favourite chess player of all time, what a treat ❤❤❤❤

@11:46 The Hikaru head dancing 😄🤣

Bol bol k sab ko scheme bata do sir 😂😂😂

THIS IS CINEMA 🎞️🍿
