Nothing but appreciation for the guy ❤
How awkward and difficult it would be to walk backwards for Sagar, vut these walking interviews are looking great 👍
Lichess is truly the goat! Much respect ❤
A great resource for Indian youngsters.
Thank you lichess, best website and tool to learn.
Such a great insight. It is absolutely commendable how they are sticking to their core values in this capitalistic world
Lichess is the platform for the more intelligent players who know that they are getting a great place to play chess for free.
Theo has an amazing voice!
He's moving, as chess is all about making moves. BRILLIANT !!
Been a fan of lichess for years

Theo is so suave! Is he going to be the new James Bond?
sagar bhai leaving no stone unturned . ❤️
I hope licess thrives for many, many years to come!
lichess has helped me so much
Lichess has a super good UI
Initially I hesitate to play or register in Lichess... later, since it doesn't force me to register or annoy by trying to catch me at different platforms, I slowly preferred to be part of Lichess, now everyday I play few games in Lichess in different time formats, sometimes its human/bots, but lists opponents of similar rating of mine with+ or - 50 to 100 points.... It gives fun, joy to play, experiment different ways of playing, even trying stupid games... When I tried 1 minute game in Lichess, I barely able to make 2 or 3 moves, now I am able to make 30 to 40 moves in 1 minute game... Helped improve game, even though I am 1500 rating... Playing for fun, soul satisfaction 😂
Love Lichess
This is FANTASTIC! I'm so happy that CB India and Lichess have gotten together for this interview. I'm not much of a chess player, and I focus primarily on chess puzzles, which is enjoyable for me and far less stressful than one-on-one chess.
Lichess = Best Hope for an open platform, GG guys!
Viva la Lichess!
Love Lichess ❤❤
Great job sagar in bringing attention to this great organization
Thank You Sagar! I love you and Lichess too!
Lichess is opensource, and free ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lichess is the best..🎉❤
Raising tides raises all boats~ for a community an excellent quote.
If lichess would invest a little in their marketing they'd do wonders
lichess is no1 by far for me.
Awesome video!
❤
Free chess . For everyone. Forever.
He's the Linus Torvalds of Chess.

I would pay good money for a course on walking backwards 😂
I know Sagar is tying something new with these types of walking interview, but it is hard to listen to this interview in my headphone the background noises are very annoying. I hope he gets a good microphone with better noise cancellation.

Thanks Sagar for the great interview. I came from the open source software community, so was delighted when I returned to chess after a very long absence, to find lichess. This interview was very informative. I hope one day that Lichess can provide some of the functionality that Chessbase and Chessify do. As an aspiring chess player and open source advocate, I would love for my chess toolbox to be free and open source!
