Vishy Anand's Opinion On The Indian Candidates 

As a nepali i hope our indian brothers will take that #1 again ❤

Anand walked alone where this new talents going together!!Anand know whats coming, pressure and more pressure what they never had before!Anand reach everything now young Indians going to Arena!! Good luck to them🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

In cricket with all the media clinging to india for viewership, i dont like to root for india. But come chess i respect this man so much he single handedly opened the opportunity for me to see these youngsters, love pragg gukesh and vidit and wishing them best of luck to win this!!!!!

true ! this is Vidit 's redemption arc 💯

Go well Indian Boyss❤️🇮🇳 🇮🇳 VD,Pragg and Gukesh❤️🔥

Gukesh is the campion. 🎉🏆 . What an achievement. 👏Next big chess star of India and world. After Vishu Anand’. He will challenging the world champion.

Best of luck to all of them ❤❤

What a blessing it is to have such a genius gentleman belonging to India. I don't know when Indian govt will confer Bharat Ratna to him, but he is already one in people's hearts and minds.

It's the best phase so far for Indian chess finding so many Indian players at the top of world ranking. Salute to vishy for his contribution to Indian chess.

What a simplicity Anand sir ❤❤

Rooting for Gukesh 🔥

Pankaj advani in billiards Vishy Anand in chess .. Sachin in cricket.. Neeraj chopra in Javelin.. Dhyanchand in hockey.. Abhinav bindra in Shooting..

So it was Vishy who provided Gukesh with the right advice, that is, to work more closely with Gajewski. Vishy is truly a godsend for Indian chess.

That was a fantastic interview -- really informative.

And now Gukesh won the candidates!!

Pragg is like Actor Rajini in Tamil Cinema, whereas Gukesh is like Actor Kamal in Tamil Cinema... Eventhough Gukesh Wins good, mass people of Tamilnadu are behind Pragg... With that said, these Limelights can affect these young players, i feel Gukesh will be in top 3 in coming years.. and Pragg in top 10

Rooting for Pragg 🔥

man with simplicity

Let’s go Gukesh!!

does anyone know what is the background music?

All our players are great and truly are a role model but honestly I don't have much hopes from them in the candidates (from men's pool). Most likely an American will take the title. Hopefully our players perform good and youngsters like Pragg and Gukesh gain a lot of experience from this coz I believe they have many more candidate tournaments to play in the future and hopefully win there!❤

I feel like one indian will win whole thing

Vidit is such a likable guy. Love from Turkey.

Don Bosco Egmore alumnus Anand speaks excellent English, even from his school days. I mean, outstanding choice of words and nice ideas.

Rooting for gukesh 🔥🔥

TBH, the main takeaway i got from that, was Vishy thinks Gukesh would not win.

Pragg is my favourite

Gukesh will be the challenger to liren

They qualified for candidates itself a big achievement but no one will come under top 3 because they are not prepared as nepo caruana hikaru.

i think vidit s play style suits the candidate format ...i think he and pragg will do well..wheras somebody like gukesh is in for a big trouble if he isnt in the form of his life,,,

Pragg is the future.

I love vidit be the national and internationaĺbleadee

All the very best Koneru Humpy, Vaishali , Vidit, Pragg, Gukesh 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Please encourage chess

surely the nicest world champion ever?

Wtf is with the music

Is the interviewer Parvinder Khari?

Pragg next champion

I would rather prefer magnus view of Indian players he predicts the best

Rooting for all Bharat players anyone win i will be happy 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

OPEN RESULTS STANDINGS 1 to 3 in no particular order Caruana/ Pragg/ Hikaru 4. Nepo 5 to 7 in no particular order Gukesh/ Vidit/ Alireza 8. Nijat

I see all indian players copied calmness of Mr Anand

Sarvanan🤌🏻

second

so heres my prediction 1. Caruana(no explanation needed) 2.Hikaru (good form and hes mentally in a very good place) 3. Pragg (he is very hard to beat and very mature for his age , so when most players are prone to catastrophic collapse pragg would secure vital draws and get 3rd) 4.Vidit (this is doubtful considering his bad form in the last tournament ..but i think vidit is very solid and mentally strong/ mature to not go on a downward spiral after a loss or 2) 5.Nepo ( hes completely shattered after the game against ding ,no confidence, no motivation , not seeing any brilliant games recently from him ,no good tournament recently and very bad form ) 6.firouzja(his fashion designing nonsesnse wont help here and he barely qualified , he did unethical ways to qualify, so god wont be happy upon him..is he even doing chess anymore?) 7.Gukesh (ah , he needs to calm down a bit and play solid sometimes and not push for win all the time ...he gets very nervous in crtical position which wont help him that much either..i fear he might loose an early game and go on a downward spiral and loose bunch trying to win all the rest of the games ..but im sure he would provide entertaining games ;) ) 8. Abasov ( alright , how did he qualify again ? would have loved Nodirbek or keymar or erigaisi instead, but it is what it is)

Bharatwasi aaj karte bhaari raaj❤
