I like this one: Grischuk: "I slept half of the game. I don't know what I was thinking. Then when I woke up, I see I only have 6 minutes left on the clock."
Magnus' reaction to Vishy's comeback was golden You can see Magnus look down when the reporter asks the second question, like Magnus knows there's disrespect being thrown, and then Vishy just SMACKS that reporter right back and Magnus looks up with a smile
Magnus gets frustrated by these stilly questions quite a bit, I am sure he got a kick out of seeing another great, especially one so respectful as Vishy, point out how silly it is to ask a competitor what amounts to "You lost by being outplayed. How will you win next time?". There's really no better response than the one Vishy gave. Next time you try and outplay them instead.
That Ivan Sokolov quote hits different when you've experienced OTB throws firsthand. I had an OTB game against someone rated nearly 500 points higher than me where I had forced mate and I knew I had it. I wasn't having a great tournament and this was the last game and would've ended things on the highest of high notes. But up 10 minutes to my opponent's 10 seconds, I inexplicably blundered into mate myself. I had never been so beside myself. For the first time in my life, I thought to myself "God, I need a smoke/drink." I remember texting that quote to my roommate before I went to bed that night. That game was 6 months ago and will never not haunt me.
For real. Once i was in first place against some 30 people and up a Queen for a rock against the second seed who was an older man with a much higher rating than mine. The guy went for a kind of foretress and won on time and I just couldnt recover from that and the tournament went all downhill from there
Ouch. Well, on the plus side, sometimes you win those kind of games. I had black against someone of similar strength to me in a pretty lively middlegame. I managed to win a pawn and literally blunder two pawns immediately afterwards. My opponent was one of those guys who struggles and strains with almost every move and, although he had me going backwards, he started to press, thinking that because he was ahead in material, he should be winning for sure. The stress of trying to win a better position got to him and he hung his queen.
Maybe an honorable mention, something along these lines: Q: "Who do you think was the best chess player ever?" Magnus: "Me, three-four years ago." I know there has been some context with which Magnus tried to explain his choice, but for me it is still a pretty savage line. Also, Fischer definitely had some very bold statements.
Would like to point out in “The chess speaks for itself,” Magnus beelined straight past media with his head down. Really added to the quality of the clip.
Vishy lost to Magnus in game 6 and ultimately lost the match. Nepo lost to Magnus in game 6 and ultimately lost the match. In 2018 Caruana missed a win (mate in 30 LOL) against Magnus drew the game but ultimately lost the match. (Blitz tie breaks) Game 6 speaks for itself.
@@nischay4760 my guy, i didn't talk about that match, i just said that knight and bishop andgames are more than 30moves. also knight and bishop mate is fairly complicated for new/intermediate players
@@julfrei112 now now if you know chess at anything deep level then you must know these players and another thing respect other players because there is one of these strange name "R. Praggnanandha" who defeated your pro "Carlsen" so respect others dude. Don't be some milk drinking kid in a grand arena and yes I request levy to give this guy a pin of shame as well as the title of noob
@@bloonsfamily2066 He went to the future found out levy included the interview, went to the past to reply to himself. I dont see any other logical explanation.
@@pianissimo7121 There is one more logical explanation, which is most likely the explanation. I guess you are blind because HIS COMMENT SPEAKS FOR ITSELF
Now this is the content I like! Love it, great idea, hope to see more of it! Nice little breather from packing loads of chess games in, I'm here for it.
oh btw, in starcraft in korean gsl, foreign interviewer asked a question in english and translator John said "thats a stupid question, I'm not asking him that" that was so funny
Of all the great super GMs, is there anyone more calm, humble and peaceful than Vishy? If you've got him upset, chances are - you're the one at fault...
nice video! my favourite is this one: Danny Rensch "would you like a lesson in bullet?" Aronian "Bullet is fun, but there are other fun things that can last more than one minute"
I remember the Maurice interview. It seemed like that was the moment Magnus stopped taking criticisms so seriously, like he got a lot of flack for his response, and it changed him.
I recommend Mr Dodgy's courses on chessable. There are two. The Bongcloud opening book was published on April 1st, and the Eric Rosen "Oh No My Queen" compilation is wonderful too.
There is a really funny Dubov interview where he explains why he hates the rapid time format the most. It should also be said that Dubov was once the rapid world champion.
"Who is this person walking behind Hans? They aren't even in the tournament. And look at that window. Why would there be a window...right there? This is crazy."
I can’t even handle the pressure of playing a live game online. I can only handle playing daily games. And I’m just someone who plays for fun. Can’t imagine the pressure of playing professional / over the board chess in full view of everybody.
That Aronian line was even more savage. He says to Ashley (paraphrased): Generally in chess, you want to stabilize, and you should try not to move the same piece too many times. Maurice replies, in good humor: Gee, y'know, I never heard of that. Then Aronian replies, paraphrased: That's why I'm a great player and you're not. But the humor misfires awkwardly, and what Aronian intended to be light ribbing ends up looking like he's clubbing a fur seal. That fur seal being the ever delightful and personable Maurice. Just a complete cross-cultural humor fail with Aronian showing he can't quite do US irony. Thanks for sharing that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qeQ_szmbb7k.html
