The rock of Indian team - Vidit Gujrathi scores 7.5/10 | Chess Olympiad 2024 

Vidit bhai is the first chess player who really established such a connection with the Indian audience and his consistency is unparalleled ❤️❤️ always love VD

A very underappreciated but stupendous job by Vidit 🙌🙌.... Scoring 5 wins and 5 draws, two of them against Shak and Levon.... Its sad that he missed out on an individual medal but throughout the tournament he exemplified experience in the best possible way.... Best of luck for a very busy month ahead ❤❤.. Vd op❤

Being repeatedly mentioned as senior, veteran at 29 is hard on VD. But he takes it easy and keeps smiling. Great attitude and a deserving champion 🏆

he's the dravid of our team. most underrated player

VD is emotion. Congratulations 🎉❤

Daniel king today : The oldest in Indian team Vidit(29) is still younger than the youngest in USA team (Wesley)

I feel like as the Indian team grows, VD is gonna grow with it and has a great shot at a lot of stuff like being in the top 10 and playing for other candidates and having a shot at the Championship... This internal positive rivalry can be a really good motivator for Indians.

Freshness of Victory ✌🏻✌🏻 Still in memories the 2020 Olympiad Win That Oh My God Of Tania Emil sudovsky that online chess era🔥🔥

Absolutely Unreal !! Nobody could have thought such domination by both the men’s & women’s team !!!

so much love and support to VD. A great player and an adorable human. ❤ Don't care if he's underrated but the real supporters know his hardwork and sincerity for the game. He's the reason many people got into chess during Covid because of his vlogs and streams. VD is an emotion and he is an og. Good luck to each player for future endeavours.

Vidit is absolute love! ✨♥️the most underrated

Can’t have enough of Chessbase India content and enough of our fabulous boys and girls teams ❤Just rewatched Vidit Bhai beating Hikaru and Firouzja in Candidates tournament, again! Already missing Chessbase Live stream 😢

This victory is just incredible.. no comparison . Such a dominating performance by our players.. so proud.

Between Vishy and the current youngers, there was a void space in chess where people were interested but capital weren't there with least support from the govt./sponsors.. vidit was only top elite player at that time from India keeping chess spirit alive. Still he fight like a champion for every match! True inspiration.

So good to hear thoughts after the tournament 😍

THE LEGEND . LOVE CHESS . LOVE CHESS BASE INDIA . HATS OFF ❣❣

To be very honest, I’ve never heard Vidit appreciate the youngsters before (and it’s natural why) but I’m very happy this event brought them together and seeing Vidit’s little but important actions where genuine support and care was shown towards the youngsters was very visible and yes, *this* was the X factor that set team India apart. They were actually a strong team with genuine bonding - otherwise US had top players too but you could sense a lack of team bonding

Congrats from Team ONGC to Vidith.

Yes - Arjun and Gukesh did so well that this incredible performance became muted - +5 is no joke.

Shatranj, made the quintessential loop back home, to Bharat. :) This was a team effort, no doubt. These rajas n' ranis, ChessBase India and ESP. all you supporters, have already made the positive change Vidit talk's about, toward the end. Proof is in the -pudding- moves.

thanki you guys.....we are so proud of you.....winning both open and women"s gold ......incredible.....hats off .....

Vidit 🙌🏻 ❤

Vidit you are a heart stealer ❤❤❤❤

A real cool guy. Well done, Vidit.

VIDIT!!! From Rio de Janeiro, Brasil.

I love the Indian champions. The hard work and sacrifice to be dominant in a sport is unimaginable.😮

Amazing! Congratulations Vidit!

Not to be overlooked, Pentala Harikrishna. When a 2688 GM is board 5, that is seriously daunting to the opponents when they are thinking whom they might face.

Congratulations to the Indian team for the victory from Hungary !! A well-deserved and convincing achievement ! I hope you will keep pleasant memories of Hungary!

Kramnik interview...CBI you guys are ❤❤❤

Vidit forever OP ❤

Harshit is such s likeable character

VIDIT BHAIII❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is THE VIDIT SANTOSH GUJRATI all the viewers love 🎉🎉🎉

vd op❤.🇮🇳🇮🇳all the best going forward

I dont understand chess at all..i mean i know how the pieces move, n that's it. I even have to search for the mentions on the board when someone says, eg., knight g 5😅.. Yet.. I watch all the matches..start to end..for 5 to 6 hrs..thanks to the commentary done during the matches that helps me understand what to expect and most importantly the amazing chess that that our players are playing.. The thrill of watching the games are to another level..literally even feeling my hands getting cold at times out of nervousness... The level of competition n the effort for such a result despite having to face the toughest teams as opponents was truly felt.. Vidit, Gukesh, Prag, Arjun, Hari, Divya, Vantika, Vaishali, Harika, Tania n all the coaches n other support staffs.. THANK YOU guys for the win..bcoz of which we were able to watch our national anthem being played at such a big stage..it was truly historic..it just makes one so happy, proud, and leaves one teary-eyed..thank uu so much guys..❤ N of course big shout out to CBI..ur reels n clips that popped up was what introduced me to the chess matches..Sagar sir n Amruta ma'am big thanks to u too for all the efforts put in...💜💜💜

We love you Vidit. I have always rooted for you. I don't think the sun setting for you at all. In fact, I am sure you will find another gear and touch 2800 as well. Your only weakness in my simplistic view, which is obviously just coming from observation and not from understanding of chess, is your time management and tendency to blunder under time pressure even in Classical. Wishing Vidi the best of luck for his future endeavors.

yes we will remember you all, the team ,,, VD ... Greattttt

Congratulations vd. All the best for all your future events

We need Vidit's statue at Nashik Airport. :)

Vidit efforts are often looked down upon, he doesn't get much recognition for his work for the team

Congratulations VD 👍🏻 Now go for 2800 BEST OF LUCK ❤

Congratulations vidit. God bless you with more success and prosperity

One suggestion: Please consider using a stand for the phone/camera sagar bhai. A small portable one will do wonders. It will be a better experience for us viewers.

Vidit has a sparkling personality 🌷

Vd is love❤❤

Vidit op 🔥💯

All the vd for your upcoming events ❤

Sagar Bhai you are the Greatest of All Time ❤❤❤❤❤

VD❤❤❤

There are 84 grandmasters in india and vidit is 30 already to sustain in indian team and to maintain a Certain rating is not easy 🎉🎉he drew many imp matches where he was low on time ❤

Gukesh played a very mature role in this team win. He was an anchor in terms of performance, setting the right standards and being positive at the same time. Gukesh is definitely mature for his age.

THE WALL OF CHESS - V.D🥇

It will create a 🌊

We want Huge celebration and Recognition for Our Chess Players , They are Pride of India 🎉

Vidit the iron wall of our olympiad team defending the fortress along with prag whereas Arjun and Gukesh demolishing the enemy territory without any mercy

I am so much happy for Vidit after the Gold cause We all VD Fans know that VD has so much chess left in him but World Championship Can be a little difficult(at the same time want to see him there as well) but now at least he can proudly say that he won the first gold medal for India in chess Olympiads... He has won the biggest prize he could have won representing India.

Sagar Bhai OP . He carried the Indian chess lm his shoulder along with samay raina to take it to the masses !!

Imagine, if a team's 4th player is VD. How good would the team be?

Glad to see you VD

First Edit-Just finished study before u all jump over me Edit 2-Also i like Vidit Nashikar op 🎉

All The Best Team India.. Chak De... ❤

Suggestion: Sagar Bhai and vidit should be face to face and camera on other side showing both of them talking. Maybe follow this for all interviews. Interviewer and an interviewee will face each other so it looks like they are talking with each other instead of in the camera.

VD op

The reason i watch chess for

VD bhai OP

Sagar bhai idhar 1 baje hai video upload karne ka timing mast hai

Vidit is very forthright and frank and honest

Now i think GM shrinath makes best decision of vd rest on 7 day at first we doesn't understand but now make sense because we remember in past vd just winning in first half of tournament and then something go wrong because of is Parfaction nature i gass he over push and most of the time he fell ill we heard from him only that Never the less congratulations vd and whole the India team including open and woman both

🔥🔥💗💗🎉🎉🎉

Work ethic = sagar shah and team

Vidit always enjoy the every moment freely , don’t follow others your teammates means what you like or gave relax to you , keep it up enjoy your self, you are all achieved more which cricketer achieved , just one thing is better than Bharat team is BCCI had better management then chess association of India , even I don’t know the Bharat chess association ejectly name ?

Bharath mata ki jai ❤❤❤

VD OP

india's got latent kab aa rha h sagar bhai

Vidit ❤🔥

I think the title mislabeled him, He is the Rook of Indian Team

You all can see inspector KRAMNIK standing by.

Sagar bhai... Take a rest for a few day's but after that do live stream everyday with someone... You know .. Just make chess popular again ❤

Kramnik blocked and reported all India players immediately after the tournament. Doesn’t mean anything, it’s just the usual procedure.

As Greig Chappell said in one match, Srinath can do nothing wrong. GM Srinath has golden arm.

vd op

Despite Gukesh Winning the Candidates just months back- the youngest one ever to win, at the start of the olympiad....when asked who will win.... nobody said Gukesh, or mention his name. Question about who will go For the most draw..Videet's name was surely there. - Winning the Gold as a team and individually by gukesh, and erigaisi was very important both fir their own consolidated confidence and a message to the chess elites.... That its NOT just a colleague rather Rival Team they will be against in November 2024 Championships.

What is that song ? Oh gujrati, oh gujrati, illamm, pattam, ballam, oh gujarati.

❤❤❤❤

Why did Vidit say there were a lot of early mistakes in Gukesh vs. Wei yi game ?

Anish 8/11.

We also need to consider the fact that Russia and Belarus were not there.
