Thank you Vishy. Appreciate what you have done for Indian chess. You are the gem of India.

Great conversation....loved it...I didn't know that Vishy has really good social skills as well...

Absolutely love the sincerity in everyone for Vishy which he absolutely deserves. This is Bharat for everyone to see.

I love it, they all seem so calm, noble and even innocent, thank you for sharing the interview.🙏🙏 Greetings from Colombia

What a wholesome chat! Great job, team 💚

Vishi Anand..THE Legend..great to see him with youngsters and always backing them.

Vishy is the kind of Dad that always proud of you from your bad to good move every game.

Chess needs more content like this! It's just so fun listening to them talking about their experiences, it reminds us that chess GMs are human too, and there's more in chess than analyzing board positions

The food looks amazing, but the conversation is the delicious part!!

How lovingly he takes care of them...just looking into this makes me so happy. this is the type of sportsman we need. Truly a man of great endeavour and politeness. Vishy Anand....❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love to see Indian Canditates. Their are Working really Hard and Play an amazing Chess.
