Glad Ding and Rapport found each other. Hope their friendship continues and make each other a better chess player
I have never thought I would watch an half hour chess interview. But Dina did ask great questions and Richard did provide interesting answers.
Love from Turkey! Good luck in the Candidates.
Rapport is a very interesting and down to earth individual. Liked this interview a lot. And the chessboard nails were a nice touch

I started following Richie after last year's St. Louis Sinquefield Cup. The game against Dominquez was my favorite! Also, I think the game against Mamedyarov was brilliant. You just have to love the guy - his play style, the way he sees life, the attitude! I wish him the best in the Candidates
Was waiting for this!
Nice interwiew
Great!
like the honesty
The audio's messed up for headphone users. It's echoing and changes channels for both of them for no reason at all.

even with speakers its annoying me a lot
That was inspiring. I’m so glad there’s a kind, candid, philosophical soul beneath the dazzling chess talent. R.R. is my new favourite player. Props on a great interview. Edit: Also worth calling back to Miroshnichenko’s comment back in Leg 1 that Rapport’s channeling a bit of Kurt Cobain via the hair. Accurate!
Great player and would be greater still if he used a sports psychologist.
They both look alike in the thumbnail 😅
