Man, it’s funny. Ian’s personality is much less arrogant when speaking Russian. Body language and mannerisms are a completely different person. Fascinating!
Great interview. It's nice to hear Ian talk in such a long interview. And the subtitles were of very good quality, so it was better that it was in Russian and he could fully express his thoughts.
Gracias al traductor de RUclips(jejeje), puedo disfrutar de esta gran entrevista a un gran jugador como Nepo. Cada parte de la entrevista es Oro Puro. Interesante lo que dice sobre Gukesh. Es fascinante cada una de las palabras de Nepo. Gracias Levitov!
Thank you for this interview! It's a pleasure to be able to listen to these players speak freely in their native language. Hope this format continues and thanks for the excellent subtitles.
I don't speak Russian, but based on the title Ian is out of touch with the chess playing masses. Classical chess is all we need, and we love the history and lore of the game as well. We have favorite players from the the past, and want to follow current players who play what we play, which is not 960. We can never master opening theory, and even opening names themselves are part of our love for chess. All of that disappears with 960. It has nothing meaningful to add for average players as players, and takes a lot away as fans. It's a great supplement for top GMs, but if they don't play classical we'll spend more time watching the players who do.
It's probably going to be his last shot at it, considering that younger generation have started getting into the Candidates already. Just don't want him to turn into another Korchnoi...
Great interview by Ilya! Ian is always interesting to listen to - one of the most talented chess players of all time. I am looking forward to many exciting games from him in Toronto.
carlsen has been a scourge to classical chess. Let him have his online blitz and his botez sisters. he is ego maniacal controlling too much in chess. Kasparov never disrespected history or classical world championships even if he hand picked Kramnik over Shirov and other non ideal things.
I'm not a Magnus fan but lol about Kasparov...he split the chess world! The 'World Chess Champion' title became a question for the next 16 years...Anand, Kramnik, Kamsky, Shirov, Leko...so many have commented on the negative press because of it.
kasparov admits mistakes were made from 93 but classical chess didnt suffer is my point. We dont need popularity for the sake of turning chess into a joke. But so many tournament organisers are trying to follow the money at the expense of classical chess. Have your pogchamps but don't ruin the format of the classical world championship match. Carlsen is a disease controlling so many tournament organisers these online rapid and blitz events just have no value. The prestige of the world championship cycle must be protected @@shumbuk4383
Days are changing what tradition are u talking technology is taking the world u want to get struck with past u guess there were two federation in Kasparov time
Clear evidence AI is still terrible at English. Change does not have to mean degrading history and losing context to the true value of classical chess.@@rajsub3884
It trips me out how some sentences give you many seconds extra and others you must read like a freakin champ! I can understand but the guy that does your translations and closed captions needs to chill! Wait is this RUclips doing the translations?
@@buschinpolenit should be part of their choice to make it clear in the title that this is not in English. The title is in English, so the title is a lie to clickbait people.
Nepo clearly suspects Gukesh of something... "He's much better in classical, it's like playing against a computer, his moves are both strong and strange, this mix is always rather odd", he says while smiling... I'm surprised this quote hasn't made any noise in the community. Now that Gukesh has now the Candidates, it resonates even differently. I hope there's nothing in all this of course.
@@endymion12321 His level of suspicion is clearly low, but it is not zero. No one can listen to that Ian quote and say that he didn't mean ANYTHING by that. Especially knowing the guy, he's not afraid to make his opinion known in cryptic ways.

I think he is often interpreted wrongly. He’s not always accusing or anything, but rather making jokes.
he isnt arrogant at all speaking english..in fact, he is very honest..which people mistake for arrogance unless they are intelligent...
@@jadezee6316 teach me, sensei
Don't think this has to do with langage but because he's very close to the interviewer

The Closed Captions for this are really well done. Thank you both!
"zeitnot" = time pressure. Only word missed by the CC (for the first 21:25 anyway)
always enjoy an honest person and Ian is that and I am also a big fan rooting for him to win the WC....
It's probably going to be his last shot at it, considering that younger generation have started getting into the Candidates already. Just don't want him to turn into another Korchnoi...
@@karthikkamathp Korchnoi=most competitive elderly player since Lasker. Yeah..that would be terrible.
@shumbuk4383 I meant one of the most talented players to never become the World Champion.
Great interview by Ilya!

Ian is such a nice guy
Great conversation
Protect this man at all costs. We need good vibes for the game. :)
This interview just makes me so happy! Always rooting for Ian! ❤
Nepo is like Germany lost two world wars (chess) . I hope he will manage to have his own war chess number 3 and win the title as a chess king

Spectacular player! Go Nepo!
I'd rather say that the digital craze will fade, once the crazies are burnt out... Classical chess will never be dead!
Where can i bet its wrong ? Classical will never die of course
Seriously! Classical chess isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

52:02 Nah man Ian absolutely violates Hans here
1:22:00 Poor Anish 😂
Buena entrevista
levitov chess working on quality good
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
The title is in English,
So why aren't you?
It's their choice to speak in whatever language they want. But it's my choice not read any subtitles on a RUclips for 90 minutes.
@@buschinpolenit should be part of their choice to make it clear in the title that this is not in English. The title is in English, so the title is a lie to clickbait people.
As an option, you can also either read the subtitles or learn russian!@@smwg4187
@@paulsaglier5194Ah, I can learn Russian to watch one interview with a chess player. Thanks
Are Eng subtitles avail.? I will search. I like Nepo

Bruh are you serious 😂😂
Disgusting comment. If Ian thinks Gukesh cheated, you think he would be standing on the podium with him, wearing a third place medal and a smile?
@@endymion12321 His level of suspicion is clearly low, but it is not zero. No one can listen to that Ian quote and say that he didn't mean ANYTHING by that. Especially knowing the guy, he's not afraid to make his opinion known in cryptic ways.
Is it just me or is he insinuating something about Gukesh when he said he plays strange moves and it’s like playing in front of a computer sometimes?
No, me too!
Sooner than 10. Chess is already fading.
Classical chess isn't dying anytime soon. What a joke!
