@@akaNemsko Yes, you could have. One could argue that if it were only from a perspective of respect for the (formidable) opponent, it would have been preferable. But the game was only about having some fun, right?
@@akaNemskobut why though? It's not an official match it is just a friendly match and the gm also didn't prepare any openings and was super casual with you almost making it look like a date
Alireza has a big ego, which is why he will never become a world champion. Instead of working more on his game, he tilts when he loses. He is an example of what happens when you have talent but no discipline.
Really loved this format! A lot of chess interviews are painfully awkward, but the questions you asked made for a very candid atmosphere ^^ And, of course, watching the games was fun as well
Don't be so hard on yourself the first one was not a terrible game, it was equal for most of the game, and the a little inexactitude and sas, he got the advantage. Taking into account that he is one of the highest-raking players ever, I will say you did great. The speed of his mind is just amazing, I know in part is because he is young but even so, amazing.
@@oxndvvfkuhl7540 What do you think Nemo did her whole life? Yeah, that's right. Even with playing chess 24/7, an average person can only become good, never a super GM. Talent is a thing.
@@anirudhkashyap23 I agree, he's probably the next WC if Magnus is truly stepping away, I'd say the next rivalry of the ages is definitely Nodirbek and Alireeza
Omg! Now I'm even more proud of being Iranian and seeing people like Alireza as an honor to our country ❤ Wish I could see this kinda prosperity and success, people of my country make all around the world, in our own country one day Our hearts are filled with grief and pain, but the most beautiful flowers blossom in adversity, the day of our freedom will come eventually ❤
Wow, great interview and you played very respectably against him. Great laidback atmosphere! These segments with top GMS will be a huge hit if you can keep them up!
I'm fairly new to the chess scene so it's rare to find any candid sit-down conversations with the top players on YT. Hope in the next video we learn a little more about the players' personal interests, short/long-term goals in chess and life, etc. 🙂
Nemo's chess prowess is as captivating as her charming personality. Watching her face off against Alireza is a true delight for chess enthusiasts and admirers alike.
I really enjoyed this. Nemsko really had a great position for a while. She can be proud of how well she stood up against one of the top players in the world, especially since her attention was divided on interviewing him throughout the game. Alireza's playing style is smooth as silk, and seems effortless.
I like how you interview during a game of chess. I think it's intentional to not let him focus fully on the game, so it's really only first degree playing. That is not the fully focused Alireza playing in competition, just a date... Alireza is rare kind guy compared to other chessplayers.
Thanks for reminding me how much I used to love chess! It’s been so so long since I’ve played. Also… It’s really awesome to me what you do - entertain while doing something you enjoy, pushing yourself on multiple fronts: intervie, get good content out of high performers, all while playing a good game of chess. Serving to popularize chess, giving voice to other players, and more! Only sad part was seeing some of the dumbest comments I’ve seen in a while from people who might claim to be fans of chess, but clearly aren’t talented enough to ever make it as supporters /s. Stay strong, gamer
Great interview. I liked the setup of the scene, the questions were well chosen and interesting, games were fun to watch. Interviewer also kind and beautiful. Alireza also nice, handsome and relaxed, interesting to listen to.
Interview playing chess, best concept ever haha. I hardly recommand to change the title of the video, its a very original concept, i'm here because of recommandations, but i would have 100% clicked if this was clear and not just another dual
I didnt know alireza till 2 years ago,before that i thought parham maghsoodlo (idk if i spelled that right)is the strongest chees grandmaster from iran but now im proud of iran because alireza firouzja❤
It's funny that he says about talent, because he was once asked if how much time he invested in chess, and he said about 12 hours a day, and that he was always thinking about chess.
Me hearing this:"Apart from Magnus Carlsen, he's the only person that loves endgames" Also me: Am I his son? I too love endagmes. Especially when I have a material adavantage I most of the time queen all my pawns and fork every piece out of my opponent untill they resign or I mate them. Its so satisfying
Grischuk will put himself on the wall of shame to please Maurice. BTW, so interesting to se Alireza saying he didn't work hard like other people did, so he must have some talent and discipline.
@@boxofcans461 "being genius in chess is useless" no, having the possibility of becoming one of the best in the world in one of the most famous games in the world, like Kasparov or Carlsen or Anand or Nakamura is not useless. "All top players work hard btw." I just said that.
@@JimmyBoosterCrate but there are different strengths. for example Magnus said that alireza is one of the fastest, if not fastest players in terms of calculation ! but there is calculation, memory/tactics etc
Did Alireza get a nice home-cooked meal after the games? Very nice to see two civilized players not trash talking or screaming. Chess is almost like wrestling, in modern media.
What do you think about Richard Rapport's style? You should do an interview with him. He just recently moved up to #10. People constantly sleeping on him, but he's a beast.
Wow chess is so weirdly hard man, I mean nemsko is like 2300/2400 right? And alireza is like 2700/2800 and yet they can Nemo can get an equal position for so long, I'm 1500 and I get amazed how fast they can spot tactics, I also got so happy when the gms played some of the moves I would play, especially in the middle game and improving moves.
What type of material is the board ? I’ve been looking on the internet and I’m unsure what type of board to buy ( that’s affordable 😂) . This board looks really nice tho , is there a link to buy it ? Any help will be much appreciated
Alireza should write a motivational book:
"Don't Work. Be Talented."
😂
Best seller(all think that they have talent)
maybe if we focused more on chess and less on fashion he would have qualified ...
Ya.. Talented to waste at least 20 years on chess
Most people who are at the top of their field are there not because theyre the hardest worker, but because they are talented and also worked hard.
Your questions were so on point. I am so happy to hear about Firouzja's chess journey; he doesn't have too many interviews
good point, I really wish he finds himself in the C-squared podcast one day for example
Awww thanks so much ❤ it was really fun to do this format with him :)
@@akaNemsko Hou Yifan is Goddess.
Alireza is like Bobby, get a cute girl than he became a nice guy
@@josealejandrotorrejon6586when bobby did that?
I like how he became so focused and serious suddenly when the important moment of the game began
2:04 "How do you think you got so good?" "I don't work as hard."
I swear everytime I’ve talked to Alireza he’s somehow said the best lines
@@akaNemsko Li Na (Tennis) and Hou Yifan (chess) ❤️❤️❤️

"I should have prepared, honestly". As if that would have changed the outcome one bit.
Tbh I could’ve at least prepared some openings
@@akaNemsko Yes, you could have. One could argue that if it were only from a perspective of respect for the (formidable) opponent, it would have been preferable. But the game was only about having some fun, right?

Alireza is a genius and I am sure that he will be the future chess champion of the world....Calm and polite..the chess show his personalitty ....
Huh, I always felt like Alireza plays some very aggressive chess though
@@statickid5897 Because it's fun.
@@goku445 Agreed. But if the way they play show their personality...
Firouzja must be one hell of an aggressive guy 😅
@@statickid5897 Oh yeah, makes sense. Alireza looks like an overly aggressive guy.

Alireza, how does the knight move? 🎤 Lol
1:08 I love the mutual awkwardness of him describing what a Rapid & Blitz is to a grandmaster, and her saying "oh wow" as though she didn't know.
He's the only person I can imagine surpassing Magnus. His brain is lightning fast!
Yeah the way he plays good chess even when he’s about to flag is crazy
Don't be so hard on yourself the first one was not a terrible game, it was equal for most of the game, and the a little inexactitude and sas, he got the advantage.

about 2-3 weeks ago :)
@@akaNemsko Thank you! 🤗
There's worse things then being down just a pawn against a Super GM well played Nemo
You think he’s trying hard? Lol
@@mattuccima2893 He's trying his hardest
@@grievous5243 lmao you are hilarious
@@mattuccima2893 ofc he is trying hard he made all exchanges possible and played safest possible.
Alireza neither sweated upon the chess nor the lady in front. He’s cold AF.
Alireza is my favorite young chess player. It’s great to see him casually talk about chess like this
After playing his brother in the cafe, now you play Alireza himself.
Such a nice kid, always have a smile for everyone.
I would die happily if I could survive till endgame against Alireza. You played really well
Alireza is very fun to play with, so humble Super GM...
Alireza - “I’m tired of winning”
Nemsko cant handle the Firo fire! the fashion designer strikes again
Yeah he works with Levy in the fashion business I've heard.
Alireza is a wonderful role model. Compared to the likes of Carlson Kasparov etc he is a true gentleman

Threw me off, I thought there was gonna be lots of immoral actions.
@@akaNemsko 😂
respect to him even i think Fabi or Nakamura deserve the second place, but his time in chess is like just starting , gg Ali
Naka does not make second place.
and i am not a big fan Nakamura, i always was for Magnus and Fabi , but love them all, Mamedyarov, Dubov and so many
Deserving is not a thing in competitive sports, specially chess where there is no luck involved.
Naka isn't even top 5
@@yarsaz4347 he is currently number 3 behind Magnus and Fabi, he did well in the norway chess.

i love this guys. he is so humble.
"Magnus loves torturing people" Hahahaha!
This is such a good video. Never seen Alireza like this and you're a great interviewer
Your video was really great i hope i can see your other videos soon
It's funny that he says about talent, because he was once asked if how much time he invested in chess, and he said about 12 hours a day, and that he was always thinking about chess.
He became a grandmaster after only 3 years of playing , he started at 11 was grandmaster at 14
That first game was close, honestly was suprised you didn't get annilhilated till the end
Nice you held your own tbf nice fight
Hi from Iran, James, you are the best chess commentator!!
nemo going easy on her youngers. respect
Yessir that’s what’s going on here
It’s a friendly game. You can see Alireza didn’t play for a win. He feels bad breaking a friendly opponents ego.

Also me: Am I his son? I too love endagmes. Especially when I have a material adavantage I most of the time queen all my pawns and fork every piece out of my opponent untill they resign or I mate them. Its so satisfying

Nemo : Chess 1%, Laughing 99%
I liked the follow-up to this video...where you ended up matched up against Mohamadreza at the blitz bar, and didn't know who he was. :D
