Kostya KavutskiyHOST
Yeah.
Jesse KraaiHOST
And one of the reasons I think it's really interesting now in chess history for us to talk about this is because when David and I were watching Gukesh when he was playing his best, when he was slaying people, what we saw again and again was that that dude would tank.
Jesse KraaiHOST
And he was really trying to be a calculator.
Jesse KraaiHOST
So somebody who was really trying to drill into it, find all of the tactical resources and beat his opponent.
23 MINS LATER
Jesse KraaiHOST
know, also, Dave, maybe an interesting way of thinking about this conversation is to flip it and say.
Jesse KraaiHOST
that you have a hard time seeing the value of these truisms because you are a calculator.
Jesse KraaiHOST
And so from a similar perspective, I can imagine talking to Gukesh about this and Gukesh might say, what do you mean I had to think?
David PruessHOST
He might be like, bro, I was thinking I had to figure something
AnnaHOST
Jetzt ein kurzer Blick auf den kommenden Weltmeisterschaftskampf.
AnnaHOST
Die FIDE hat den Ticketverkauf für Gukesh gegen Sindarov in Genf eröffnet.
AnnaHOST
Am 22.
AnnaHOST
November beginnt die Veranstaltung offiziell.
AnnaHOST
Und ich bin besonders gespannt, wie Sindarov mit dieser Atmosphäre umgehen wird.
AnnaHOST
Er kommt als Kandidatensieger.
AnnaHOST
Gukesh bringt bereits die Erfahrung eines gewonnenen Weltmeisterschaftskampfes mit.
AnnaHOST
In wenigen Wochen wissen wir mehr.
Kostya KavutskiyHOST
That's 'cause when we did the original drafts, it's like we were picking some of the best players in the world already.
Kostya KavutskiyHOST
It was, like, Firouzja, Abdusattorov, Gukesh.
Kostya KavutskiyHOST
They were, like, 2700s, uh, a- and plus.
Kostya KavutskiyHOST
Um, and then since then, yeah, we, like, moved further and further down the list.
10 MINS LATER
Jesse KraaiHOST
... um, about it in general.
Jesse KraaiHOST
Um, and well, okay, I, I'll just briefly say that my shift now is I think two things I've realized have structurally changed in my view of youth chess, okay? So number one, I believe it's gotten drastically stronger.
Jesse KraaiHOST
So when I think about, like, the generation of Gukesh, I'm like, oh no, you guys were good.
Jesse KraaiHOST
There's no doubt.
JohnHOST
That is huge, of course.
JohnHOST
But you also agree, by the way, that that's what separates the Gukesh.
JohnHOST
And maybe explain this becoming a world champion, basically.
Tarık SelbesGUEST
Yeah, definitely.
1 HR 27 MINS LATER
JohnHOST
I mean, that's a big burden on your shoulders, yeah? Now there are more expectations.
JohnHOST
And I felt the same thing in Vajkanze recently.
JohnHOST
You know, he was doing some amazing results and then everybody starts talking about him, right? And then he lost against Gukesh and a couple of rounds actually just slipped, you know?
Tarık SelbesGUEST
Levon Aronian, he had every quality to become world champion.
Surya GangulyGUEST
So there was one group whom I was training and I was in Judith Polgar's team.
Surya GangulyGUEST
And my students were Gukesh, Nihal, Sara and Jhansaya.
Surya GangulyGUEST
So two boys and two girls.
Surya GangulyGUEST
And we had fantastic time.
18 MINS LATER
Surya GangulyGUEST
Because if I wanted to create some... uh content particularly for viewing that's a very different audience
KentHOST
in youtube yeah
Surya GangulyGUEST
and uh but again i don't want to compromise with the quality and everything so i have my limited audience but uh this is something that i enjoyed a lot doing these interviews some positions and so on in fact um whether it is Nihal, Gukesh, Arjun, Prag, everybody came, you know, we had so much of material, so much of chess that is still available on my YouTube channel.
Surya GangulyGUEST
From YouTube, I got to process training.
Anish GiriGUEST
And, um, yeah, I find it very harmonious to see them, you know, the success of these two and, uh, how, um, yeah, how they sort of, uh, spur each other on.
Anish GiriGUEST
And, uh, uh, but that is also something similar we saw with the Indian team too, right? We had Gukesh and Ab, uh, and Prag and Arjun, uh, all also grow together and do incredibly well.
Anish GiriGUEST
Um, I think this whole, uh, notion of, uh, competition, you know, between country mates is a little, uh, over- overrated.
Anish GiriGUEST
You're mostly as, as you are, at the chair world of the professional chess, you mostly are competing w- with the, with the whole world.
Anish GiriGUEST
You're competing for the number one spot, and, uh, just because some people are from the same country and some are not, I, maybe doesn't have as big an impact as one would, one, one would imagine.
Dirk-Jan ten GeuzendamHOST
Yeah.
Dirk-Jan ten GeuzendamHOST
But then le- let's say in India, there, there is, I, I mean, Gukesh, he, he is a bit invi- invi- individualistic, and he g- he goes his way in many things.
Dirk-Jan ten GeuzendamHOST
I mean, there, there, there's friendship, but it's, it's not as close as, as, as the Uzbekis, I think.
Jay G. TateHOST
... which is on December 17th.
Jay G. TateHOST
And Sindarov right now, 74% over, uh, Dommaraju.
Jay G. TateHOST
So similar deal there, and I, I don't, I would not feel good about Sindarov, 74%, so keep an eye on him.
Cole PinkstonHOST
I'd never feel good about Sindarov.
