- čas přidán 29. 08. 2023
- A five-time World Chess Champion, Vishy became India's first grandmaster at age 18, spurring a chess revolution in the country. Now 53, he is still a world top ten player and has been India's number one ranked player for 37 years. As newer talents emerge and old ones retire, Anand's continued excellence showcases an endurance seldom seen.
Tyler and Vishy sat down in Chennai to discuss his breakthrough 1991 tournament win in Reggio Emilia, his technique for defeating Kasparov in rapid play, how he approached playing the volatile but brilliant Vassily Ivanchuk at his peak, a detailed breakdown of his brilliant 2013 game against Levon Aronian, dealing with distraction during a match, how he got out of a multi-year slump, Monty Python vs. Fawlty Towers, the most underrated Queen song, how far to take chess opening preparation, which style of chess will dominate in the next ten years, how AlphaZero changes what we know about the game, the key to staying a top ten player at age 53, why he thinks he's a worse loser than Kasparov, qualities he looks for in talented young Indian chess players, picks for the best places to eat in Chennai, and more.
Recorded August 7th, 2023.

One of the best Vishy interviews out there on internet.
Absolutely!
Anand poured his mind out like a bucket of water. Imagine the same questions with anyone else? It would have been boring. What a brilliant yet gentle human. He is a gentle giant.❤
Close his zipper on your way up
Great interview. A pleasant contrast to the poorly-informed news media, every single one of whom interviewed Anand about Praggnanandhaa's recent World Cup performance convinced that he was about to win the biggest prize in world chess.
Interviewer is the real champion of this session. Finally a great discussion with preparation rather than easy questions
No, God is the real champion of this session. He brought these 2 guys into a discussion and extracted the best out of them
@@thanos7691interesting point of view.... I would add CZcams and the internet, that allow us to witness the exchange ...🙂
What a delight. Thanks a lot for this great interview. Vishy is so candid. And the interviewer surfaced Vishy’s opinions, emotions, heuristics and strategies in the best possible manner. Bravo!
Vishy, the best combination of talent, skills and attitude that add up to so many great performance. above all great humble human being. You have been the best role model anyone could ask for. WE LOVE YOU FOREVER.
This is indeed how the interviews should be conducted. Thanks both of you.
Wonderful interview. Would tend to agree with some comments that this would possibly be the best.
The questions showed the depth of research that went in
Excellent interview!! The way Anand articulates his thoughts never fails to amaze me!! Got to learn a lot from him!!🙏❤️
One of the best chess interviews I have seen and definitely one of the best Vishy interviews . Good podcast
I think the best interview with Vishy that I ever saw and perhaps even one of the best chess interviews ever. The interviewer seems to find the right balance between the general and the specific, respect and curiosity, historical details and thoughts on the future. Vishy appears particularly comfortable with the entire interaction. A wonderful interview! Glad it was recommended to me since I would probably not have found it on my own.
My admiration and respect for Vishy has always been great, but this takes things up another notch or two.
Interviewer asked him about restaurants in chennai. Good job with the questions, really amazed.
what a guy! seems like everything he says is well thought through! very calming and inspirational to listen to him
Love Vishy! Can't say enough good things about this wonderful man!
The 11 bit was insane ☠️. Seriously well researched interview. Anand as always comfortable to branch out 😶🌫️😶🌫️
Didn't knew who Tyler was but all I can say is you got me hooked. Obviously Vishy is always a treat to listen to but keeping up with him also takes skills. Good job.
Great Interview. Loved it.
Vishy Sir Legend of Indian Chess❤️❤️❤️
Amazing!
Excellent, excellent interview.👏👏👏
What a legend 🇮🇳
This interview is a must watch for every chessbase India fan.
Hope for more chess interviews. Magnus and Kasparov would be great.
We have an interview with Kasparov here - conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/garry-kasparov/ we plan to post older CWT episodes to CZcams soon!
Great interview. One of my favourite chess players of all time.
One of best interview with vishy sir
awesome
Great Interview
Fantastic interview!
Finally someone with the knowledge of the game, asking sensible questions
Unbelievable stuff. The question on what is going in your head during a match, what nobody expect…
Good great interview
He is perfect 100% world Chess ambassador. 5 time world champion and one of GOAT. 🐐 ♟️
He is not good at anything else base his whole life is chess for 40 years, reason he is still playing I think. Excellent questions and interview.
Ivanchuk thought there was a rivalry with Vishy, and Vishy now says the rivalry was never even on his mind. Absolute gangster 👍
Great psychological pressure by Magnus !
Magnus Carsen's thrusting himself before Pragna, even if it was only for congratulating.. after Nakamura loss was a brilliant move. A subtle way of exerting pressure !
One can see how Magnus went about the congratulations very intently, very deliberately. Even a bit desperately. As if to follow a plan.
He knew Pragna was his big opponent now and so Magnus was thrusting and asserting his personality in front of Pragna to distract Pragna's focus away from the approaching game.
What an interview.... simply amazing ❤
A time will soon come, with computing advances such as quantum computing and so on, that the chess will be "practically" solved. However, our capacity to understand and memorize is not going to improve much. I wonder what this gap would do to the chess games played by humans.
I wanna know which players he thinks have no understanding of Chess but are super tenacious!
Who is Tyler? Is he a GM or a well-known player?
Tyler Cowen is a professor of Economics at George Mason University. I wonder how he is connected to the chess world?!

@@MercatusCenterImpressive work, Tyler. Good on you.
He was the New Jersey state chess champion at 15, the youngest for several decades. He stopped playing chess professionally soon thereafter however. www.kenilworthchessclub.org/kenilworthian/2006/09/interview-with-former-youngest-new.html
Great interview.
Why can't the Indian channels/media houses do a simple sane interview like this.
There is one idiot;Sagar Shah who constantly screams, exaggerates and interrupts the other person all the time and another idiot is Tanya.
Sagar is really loud
Can't listen to him for more than 5 min
English as his third language does not help him either
Damn, I thought he was stupid. Quite articulate.
You must be great at parties.I bet the only wish you might be getting on your birthday would be from your mom(if she is alive.)
