Totally agree. Gukesh was my favorite prodigy kid, but honestly never expected he would be at this stage this soon. Thought it would take 2 more years atleast. Just amazing performance from him, especially the way he remained calm throughout, it was simply awe inspiring. And it's not just him either. Nodirbek, Arjun Pragg & Keymar, all of these kids are doing excellent as well. Really feels like we entered a new era of chess now.

@@kunalsingh4418 Mine as well, and I’ve been watching his games closely ever since the last Olympiad, his game has definitely evolved since then. For eg the contrast from his Olympiad game against Nodirbek to his game against Hikaru in the last round of the candidates is striking, he knows when to push for a win and when to shut down his opponents play and is more calm and collected. I am rooting for him do well in the world championship and he definitely has what it takes to be a champion.

03:40. Exact thing I thought. During the dinner with Vishy, everyone was astonished when he said he prefers a rest day after a loss than a win. Also, HE was astonished that everyone else thought he was weird thinking so. I knew then that he was a different kind. High level of maturity and intelligence.

Highly appreciate Sagar and Amruta for smartly keeping the whole interview an interweave of chess and non-chess questions. That made it so palatable for a non-specialist audience.
Bhai…Gukesh made everyone so proud… Make me rethink about life in general 😊
Amazing kid!!! Doesn't behave or talk like a teenager. India people should be proud not only of the quality of his chess, but also his remarkable personality. Congrats, and a big hug from Argentina
Sagar's happiness is boundless. Interviewed Guki as a young boy, whose dream was to be the youngest world champion. Now, interviewing him as the youngest challenger; Sagar is living this boy 's dream. CBI has captured all those moments 😊😊😊

What Gukesh has done in Toronto is phenomenal. As much as I was rooting for Hikaru in the past 3 weeks, Gukesh has shown why he is now an elite player and deserves to be appreciated as such. He might well be the youngest World Champ, but I think Ding will put up a good fight.
