Yeah. Always felt his trajectory is much more Magnus like than the other kids. And he is consistent too after all he qualified by fide circuit. Hope he becomes world champ, he was always my favorite. But of course any Indian winning is good. Vidit and Pragg are amazing too.
Magnus didnt expect much of Gukesh in the candidates, and now hes tied for first. This man is 17 years old and tied for first playing for the world chapionship. He has earned my respect
One has to consider though, that a lot of the Indian chess prodigies only have an absolute basic school education. As far as I know they basically quit school after around elementary school, thus having endless time to study chess afterwards. This is not comparable to the situation in western countries where chess players often finish high school at age 18.
the bullshit ass of an excuse of mugging up shit called the Indian education system lol.And FYI ,Gukesh is still studying,he gave his 10th exams last year iirc. Pragg gave his exams the day he won against Anish Giri and also the day he lost against Ding liren (hours later )
@@simon.5 Wait where did you hear that they quit school after elementary? This is the first time I'm hearing of this, and I've followed these guys for years now.

No idea why Gukesh keeps being underrated. He’s ridiculously solid and comes up with brilliant moves. His game is really well suited for classical time formats.
Because it’s the best players in the world and the margins are razor thin. It’s normal to expect players like Hikaru, Fabiano and Ian to be favourites considering they all have higher ELOs than Gukesh and way more experience. Credit to Gukesh for overperforming expectations and putting himself in a position to win the tournament though
Gukesh is not underrated ... He is properly rated . It's just that Indian media hype Pragg for defeating Magnus and doesn't care about anything else . And tbh I feel Pragg abit overrated. They have hyped Pragg just like used to do for Firouzja few years back.
@@sanjanneupane4503 Honestly, Pragg's performance is still praise worthy. I just hope that other Indian prodigies like Gukesh, Arjun, and Nihal, can gain more recognition as well
Man, these interviews are just freaking amazing. Levy has done his homework on each player, and has prepared personalised questions based on it. Plus this is more like a conversation, and such a breath of fresh air. None of the answers are like media trained answers. All of this, humanises each of the players. Seriously, amazing work.
He asks good questions, but could definitely get better at how he asks the questions. Feels like he rambles a bit at times and confuses the guests, especially the ones who aren’t native English speakers.
He's incredibly wise for his age... knowing the added pressure that's placed on Fabi and Nepo because of their status as "favorites" and just focusing on playing good chess. That's a winning attitude.
I'm rooting for Nepo since I'm from Russia. But after about 3 or 4 rounds, I discovered that Gukesh is my second favorite. I've never been so worried about a foreigner before. He has the energy and mentality of a champion... I am sure that someday Gukesh and Nodirbek will fight each other for the world title.
Gukesh is at the top rn, so interviewing him makes sense. (By the way Gukesh mentions that he is excited for the tournament, that means the interview was done before the start of round 1)
It feels strange saying it, but I somehow expected he'd do great. Was kinda surprised MC rated him down, but must have been based on recent play, as MC has praised him before.
Gukesh literally had the perfect answers for every question. No skirting around the question, just great responses. So many people will respond to questions in roundabout ways, but Gukesh.. just answers them with honesty which I really like and respect.
Didn't know Gukesh all that much before the candidates. I adore how he plays, and is now one of my favorite players. Awesome guy, awesome chess mind. Thanks for the interview!
Gukesh is a very impressive young man. He's probably the best at answering questions without giving anything away, without getting bothered by them and not falling into traps.
I also like how he says "yes, experience in the candidates is good, but can add pressure. Anything can happen and it (mostly) matters how you play that day." Basically, he's not intimidated.
Gukesh gets my full Respect I love the fact his focus is Classical Chess and he’d rather play in OTB tournaments than on line it’s why he is as Great at what he does he’s been my favorite player for awhile to be honest I wasn’t sure he would do extra great in the candidates but he’s been excelling surprising a lot of people you have to respect his determination I couldn’t be happier if he won this Candidates and also went on to defeat Ding but most of that is easier said than done a lot can happen in tournament yet but always Rooting for Gukesh
I am really impressed by all the young Indian chess players like Pragg and Gukesh, but also Vidit, who is a bit older, is a super likeable person. They all make such a mature and self-mannered impression on me.
the life of the average super grandmaster is miserable and Gukesh doesn't even pay his own bills. the Indian talents arose because of their government after all
4 players Anish Giri, Gukesh, Nodirbek, Wei Yi tied for 1st place so they make 3+2 blitzz to determine the winner, in SF Gukesh beat Anish and Wei Yi beat Nodirbek Abdusattorov. In finals Wei Yi beat Gukesh to become the winner of TATA steel
This guy deserves more respect by Magnus than Alireza ever did. He is the future of the game for sure. And some people will probably mention the last game between them in the candidates. It simply means nothing. This guy has the confidence of a champion.
@@kanhaiyakumar2685he’s arguably top 2 of chess all time, and a youngster to become world champion very early. He’s earned the right to judge and pass opinions on anyone he so pleases till they prove him otherwise

Hey Levy! I just wanna thank you for all of your videos, you probably wont read this, but I started chess a year ago from 400. Now I have finally reached 2100.

I saw this video Now after 5 month and Gukesh is now World no.-5😱😱
They just seem to be nice people.
I love these interview series.
I expected him to do better than pragg and vidit and till now he hasn't disappointed.
He looks 10 years older than he is, but sounds sooo nervous😅🤩
He’s doing well, I’m happy for him (even though I don’t know him, I don’t know too much about chess😂)
