Thank you. Probably Vishi is the best commentator of this match. The speed of how he grabs the key features of the position is spectacular. He always tries to explain really difficult things with simple words. The level of variants that were being shown by him are really top class. Also he tries to be very objective. He doesn’t always criticise, he tries to explain and to understand the decisions that were made throughout the games. The way how he explained the occurrence of the mistakes and relatively low level of the games is great. It was so interesting to listen to him not only in this video but during his live commentary of the match. True legend!

Mate, that is insane. I remember back in the 90's growing up and learning chess, my fellow club players and me, we could only dream of hearing an analysis from a GM, let alone from Vishy f*** Anand himself !!! Thank you very much! A 1800-Elo player :-)

Brilliant insights from a well spoken former champion. It always gets me what an elusive and exclusive club the chess world champions are. Just 17 members over a period of 140 years, only six of them alive. Steinitz, Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Euwe, Botvinnik, Smyslov, Tal, Petrosian, Spassky, Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Carlsen, now Liren. And that’s it. Each of them a legend. How brilliant to be able to follow the thoughts of one of them over 100 minutes.

I watch a lot of chess content on KZread, and a lot of it is really good. But this stands out; it's pure gold for chess lovers. Vishy is such an insightful player, great competitor and decent human being. It's a joy to hear what he has to say.

Carlsen and Kasparov were probably slightly stronger player than Anand, but when it comes to commentary, honest and profound insights, there is not even a comparison between the 3 of them, Vishy is by far the greater inspiration.

i think that Kasparov was indeed somewhat stronger, HOWEVER not by as much as their relative performance would indicate. i always had impression that Kasparov was Anand's "nemesis" somehow, that Anand tended to perform worse against him than against other players; as if he was intimidated by him, or something like that.

@@vishnusharma2958what kind of alternative universe were you looking at? Carlsen already has winning record against Anand - or everyone else really- a good few years before his first WCC. Of course Anand had winning record against Carlsen because Carlsen was up and coming and hadn’t reach his full potential early on. It happened on any sports, older player would have dominating record against new younger opponents until they adapt.

We had the most exciting WC match since Kramnik-Topalov and now we get another great video with Vishy's insights and Sagar's great (not a.i. :-) preparation. Amazing video! Thanks to both!

Do u really need to remind us of a 10 yr old gaffe 😅

The reason this championship was exciting because both players refused to play for boring draws. It was like chess 960 with no standard positions. This is how chess should be played to keep it interesting, and not follow the 25 - 30 conputer prepared moves. No matter what people say about quality of chess being played, this is how chess should be played to keep it alive. There was a reason why Tal used misplace a piece and let both players sought it out over the board. There was reason why Bobby Fischer introduced Fischerrandom. An and there was reason why he quit the chess altogether Full points to both Ian and Ding for playing this fantastic chess

If you really think they were not following 25-30 engine moves in the opening then you really know nothing about how high level chess is played. Quality of chess and the pursuit of perfection is more important than your stupid opinions.

A lot of good points, and I agree we had a fantastic match. I would still say that player are free of their style, as long as they respect the rules, and the opposition of styles and ideas are, among other things, what make the beauty of the game. Maybe Fischerrandom chess is still the way to go for the future, but with fighting players like those 2, classical chess has still a right to exist. We also had a few perles in Wijk aan Zee, each year. I wish more top tournaments with classical time control, both for classical chess and Fisherrandom.

A real expert explaining things he really knows about ... Thumbs up, Vishy Anand!

just a comment of appreciation. Vishy is such an amazing person and chess player. Loved this interview-analysis. Thank you guys!

Anand is brilliant, such a credit to chess. Enjoyed this Sagar, thanks.

'Ding looked like he was having a mid-life crisis during the match, but he became the World Champion so it was a good mid-life crisis' - Viswanathan Anand 1:32:58

What marvellous insights from a legend - how many others have played in many world championships and taken the winner’s laurel five times! So many valuable thoughts from his perspective, particularly the three points he raises as to why the competitors played the particular type of chess we have seen. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to interview Vishy on this most recent, very entertaining championship match.

thank you very much Anand and Sagar! A great insight!! novadays its rare to see such large and deep analysis and i was missing them!

Listening to this interview for first 15 mins one gets a sense that Vishy was probably rooting for Nepo to win. He doesn't take Ding's name even once while only narrating the games from Nepo's perspective. Quite interesting.

@@da96103 Vishy will never do anything like that and your comment shows you have not followed chess for too long. It's common for GMs to analyse games from the perspective of the style closest to their own. Nepo is an intuitive, tactical player like Vishy who also relied on speed and intuition. Obviously Vishy is one of the all-time greats but stylistically they are similar. You'll often notice during commentary that positional players while commentating tend to speak from the perspective of the positional player at the board. That's because the commentator approaches the game in a similar way the player does. Also, Vishy spent some time with Ian after the latter won the Candidates last year in Madrid. As for Dvorkovich, Russian administrators do not have the same clout as before in Fide because of sanctions and the exodus of Russian players (several top Russian GMs have now switched federations). And Russian Chess Federation have now also left Europe and joined Asia. European federations have more voting clout during administrative elections than Asia. So wouldn't even make any sense for Vishy to align with Russian administrators at this point even if he has ambitions to become prez.

It’s always a delight to see Vishy’s insights and understand them. Thanks Sagar for doing this

This is a fantastic interview, thank you both for it!

Enjoying this better (because of the clarity input) then the actual World Championship clash, when it was pacing live.

Love me some Vishy/I’m a So fan but Vishy gets much ❤

Anand is such a Class Champion. It's really something different getting insights/analisis from a Word Champion, that speaks so clearly not rushed ( not like a lunatic) and the thoughts are so well organised end the delivery is so clear and bouth humble and worm.

Thank you for bringing Vishy’s clear thinking into the discussion about these games.

i gave this video a like as soon as it started. Thank you Mr Shah

What I liked about Vishy in this interview is his appreciation of how interesting this match was. He understands this may be one of the last true great classical WC matches where many fascinating positions occurred thanks to the use of 'harmless' opening tries by Ding and Rapport team and main opening theory wasn't used as much, and so, that produced many thrilling games and that's why it was one of the most exciting WC matches to watch in recent history. It was also a clash of styles between the soviet positionally taught Nepo (even though he's known for his tactical vision as well) and Ding's very concrete calculating style. I believe Anand judges correctly that mistakes were going to be part of the deal with this clash of styles because they were getting such wild unbalanced positions where both players were out of prep earlier than in previous matches like Magnus vs Karjakin, Caruana or Nepo himself. I strongly believe if you had put Magnus, Caruana or Giri in those positions they would have all misplayed it as well. It's just that in their matches they were getting much drier positions! So ofc there were much less mistakes! Listening to these top GMs saying quality was poor in this match was ridiculous when they themselves don't play nearly as sharp as Ding or even Nepo usually play. I feel like Anand was much more understanding of the difficulty of being there live figuring it out without engine eval bar like Caruana or Giri had. Even Dubov was many times criticizing the play when he was commentating w/o eval bar and he himself was making as many mistakes as the players when suggesting moves! It was just funny to watch, he even proposed the move Qf5 after Rg6 that lost Nepo the game and the match lol! So yeah, much easier to criticize the play even for top GMs than acknowledge the wonderful absorbing games we got from this WC match. Very refreshing to listen to Vishy and his appreciation for this amazing match 👍🏻
