Man, complete chaos... but despite everything gukesh was so calm.
CooKESH OP!
That's how he do things
That's his nature by birth. He is humble, reserved, and talks very less.
He is a chess player one of the calm and cool game not an actor 😅😅
@@Deepak-jn8dv Can't say the same about Hikaru and Kramnik
@vikas3337 Agreed , during the event , I don't think the news channels even bothered to cover about it even a little bit , just busy in their F'ed up useless political debates. And now all of em are there with their journalist and microphones just to hear 2 words from him to put on their channel for the whole day and take credit.
Anand didn't even receive one-tenth of the media coverage when he became the world champion for the 5th time in 2012. And a decade later, we can see how much Chess has evolved in India.
Bro you have been to an Indian school. Let's be real these are just a bunch of kids who have been told to show up at 1:30 lol. You're acting like every person plays chess in school. Chess has definitely evolved and grown but this all specifically doesn't mean anything
@@DieTreppenwitz m pretty sure you might have stopped the video after the first few minutes.....m sure the guys conducting press conf. are not school kids....definitely, a part of the crowd comprised of school kids, but not in its entirety....please appreciate wherever required....hope you can do better!
@Curio78 The kids are from Velammal school , Mogapair, Chennai which is termed by press as a Chess factory . There are 84 Grandmasters in India (all but 3 of them reached GM after year 2000) of which 29 from Tamil Nadu. Of the 29, 14 had done schooling and started chess at this Velammal school. Gukesh, Praggnanandha and his sister Vaishali are among those !
@@ksethu703 yes, I know that. Remember Anand walking out of Chennai airport after winning his candidates tournament in late 1990s only to be greeted by a couple of media channels.
@@DieTreppenwitz bruh... Are you dum? Making such remarks without any knowledge 😆 There's hardly any student in Tamil Nadu who doesn't know Chess. Anand's victory brought in a wave of chess to India, Tamil Nadu specifically.
60-70year olds who never played chess, learned chess and taught to their grandkids
Chaotic, unorganised but all filled with love and appreciation for Gukesh. Glad to see Chess getting it's much needed attention and recognition. Now the only way is up. Gukesh our future Chess World Champion. ❤❤

Thanks for this :)

Hey @JaiSriRam801 , I dont know who you are , but you always post a comment and I love it!!!
Keep up the good work brother,
Jai Shree Ram💖
9:40 this is what i was here for ...moms are the best ❤️🤩
She was holding her tears somehow...❤
Yeah this was golden.
Crying moments honestly, simplicity level hats off
@@piyushgarg1885 I am not related to him in anyway, still i cried. I don't know why, but I can relate with him, personality wise !
@@adityakishan589I'm frm Malaysia...I'm crying too... Weldone Gukesh....
Why am i crying 😭? We are so much proud of you gukesh. You represent not just Indians but all introverts(like me) round the world, who are looked down upon for their low self esteem.
Respect!!
Gukesh is shy not introvert
He is definitely introvert , it's just fame and all made him a little bit talkative , that's too for people .. otherwise he would like to remain silent all the time just like other introverts 🤣@@SonuSonu-pw2dd
@@Nobody-xe7siyeah introverts are smarter than extroverts and scientifically proven 😂
👍
@@SantanaRoy-fx9eu in mental aspects yes .. they are smarter 🗿
9:32- so far the broadest smile I have ever seen on Gukesh's face since Candidates!!! That mother-son moment was priceless!!! More strength and success to you dear Gukesh!!!
As much as he deserves the recognition. This is not the way to welcome, bro looks toasted and confused! Happy for India and him.
I can see in his eye bro is thinking when this gonna end when i am gonna go and meet my family
It's not everyday that a chess player gets this sort of recognition in the country plus he is the son of the land so an added pride for the people.
He will be wanting this welcome everytime he goes abroad for playing. 😊
😂😂 welcome to india then ...ppl are crazy here
These are kids from his school so thats why they are so excited and we indians celebrate to extreme 😂
Follow me to support the chess community and watch amazing chess games! Thanks!
I wish the World Championship is not conducted in India. This will keep Gukesh focused and away from unnecessary distractions
Very well said..but i think the organisers (or FIDE) might want to cash in the recognition/popularity chess is getting in India and
It'll be held in a neutral third country, not in the origin country of either players.
But you know he won the Chennai Grandmasters and when asked he said playing in his hometown helped a lot. Maybe that can help him to become world champ too
@@mrmistyrose007 That's not correct. , It's mostly held in countries where they get good sponsorship. Magnus won against Vishi in Chennai. Going by the craze we will definitely get great sponsorship from Indian companies but then we may loose the championship. Hopefully we won't
Agreed
Granny Happiness was pure blessing to watch
7:34,In the huge crowd also when his teacher greated him,he responded,What a great gesture man🙌

Thats Gukesh school
Poor kiddo! But he is so calm & composed. The school authorities should have let all the kids sleep instead of making everyone go through chaos.
School kids were enjoying 😂
No more chaos
I am sure the physical chaos in the airport is nothing compared to the mental pressure he endured to win the tournament. It’s cool to see chess celebrated like this.
From chaos to cosmos! Mark Gukesh's smile when he finds his mother and members of his family amongst the crowd. Pranam to that mother who gave birth to a genius like Gukesh. Feel also proud of Koneru Humpy, Prag, Vaishali and Vidit.
Chaotic but Gukesh getting a typical sportsman treatment is awesome for chess !! I can't imagine what it will be like if he manages to win WC
Bravo India! You know how to enjoy your heroes! Gukesh deserves this warm welcome.
This wasn't warm welcome tho.
Can you drop your Instagram? I want to connect to you! Or any other way to do so?
It was about 45°celcious welcome...
this seems like sarcasm
Definitely warm, after the cold weather of canada
When Gukesh was asked at Toronto whom he fears the most, he shd hv told, 'the welcome back at Chennai airport'❤❤❤❤😅😅😅
He had not won the tournament at that time.
9:33 That smile says everything
9:40 the moment everyone lives for, to make their mother proud.
i,m from afghanistan but had tears in my eyes watching the video, so much love from our hindustani bro and sisters for gukesh , i,m so happy for all india to rise up in economy technics and medizine and also sports
In one of CBI's vlogs Sagar showed us Gukesh's room. That guy is extremely disciplined,organized and he does indexing beautifully. It's not just talent but a complete lifestyle that made him win and I'm damm sure he'd perform excellently in WC. Up up Guki ❤❤
Man all this he has achieved at a mere age of 17 ; that's tremendous . Congratulations D. Gukesh 👑👑
Gukesh uses telugu language to ask one his family member how are u soo good to see this😍😍😍
He is a Telugu by birth, Tamilian by heart.
@@ptj1ptj172He is Telugu and Indian🧡🧡
@@ptj1ptj172and Indian by soul 😂❤
@@proxima713 and human by nature 😀
@@ptj1ptj172 naah he a beast
Looks chaotic and gukesh is hell confused but chess has captured everyones imagination now and it will only increase. This is typical indian welcome. Loved it.
The smile on Gukesh's face when he saw his mum❤❤❤❤❤❤
Interactions & Interviews ❌
Run & Hug mom & family ✅
chaos of Indian media ❌
calmness of family ✅
must have been an overwhelming experience for him ! The smile on his face when he saw his mother 🥺❤
The way he look for his mother 🥰
Why I have tears in my eyes...❤❤❤
Same here 😭😭😭.
Wish there was better security and proper arrangement for receiving the Champion.
One thing our media lacks is giving proper physical space and conducting the interview in a well mannered way.
So happy to see this! Thank you; it elevates my spirit.
I don't think in his whole life he will earn a single hater.. Clearly No Arrogance, try to reply each people and always finding parents ❤
Even though it's all love n appreciation, guys pls leave him alone for god sake...He hs jz landed frm long journey, looks like sleep deprived but all of them pounding on him with same questions is not right (watch his detailed interviews he hs given already to chess channels). He would definitely appreciate the effort, if u ppl want to really show him ur support, collect funds n help his family for his training instead of wasting it on those big garlands, flex boards...
It is just the press hooligans
collect funds for training bro he won 1CR in this tour single handedly btw
@@gastlyop this wt happens wn u don't follow his entire journey but jz d candidates( and d prize money)
Showing love and appreciation is something but pounding on someone who hs jz arrived with those heavy garlands for flexing is something. Nthng wrong in receiving him at airport with cheer (by his schl students ws sweet) but rest of the things were jz for media attention. If they really wanted to felicitate him vd garland n other things, maybe fix a date n arrange a function later, also interviews cn b done later too in cmng days. Whether u believe it or not, he clearly seemed uncomfortable. Let d boy meet his family n rest for d night. Wts d point of running till the car, falling over him vd mic n camera, also those huge garlands/kireetam (all those cud hv waited till nxt day right)
He most deserves it! Proud of my brothers and sisters from India. Greetings from Peru
The contribution of Velammal Vidyalaya to Imdian chess is unparallelled. It requires a complete system to produce something great and this schoold has proved it rolling out 1 prodigy after another and now their efforts have pai dividends by putting us on top of the world. Thanks to this school and wishing it and their students success in all their endeavours.

Really?? What they did to I dian chess??could you please explain it here to say it's unparalleled?? Shameless people to take credit for nothing.

And you call us language fanatics 😂
@@ptj1ptj172 yah bro we feel proud as he is a Telugu guy 😌 please breathe 🤭 We r the true dravidians from Satavahana period!
@@user-lo7bu8mx8f if a tamilian says the same, they are branded as fanatics. Grow up!
@@ptj1ptj172 I pity you ! What's ur fucking problem if I feel proud about my own personal choices! Better you grow up😌 to not enter others priorities✌️🤭
Exactly, Iam a Telugu guy myself and I used to get irritated seeing tamilians talking bs!
But now even these guys started this, idk what to say....
i was playing chess until my mom scold me to go to write my board cbse exam..and guess what this school was my centre
Lol
my fellow countrymen will always find reasons to complain(including me), if there were no people out there welcoming Gukesh they would complain saying sports other than cricket are not recognized and now when people are trying to celebrate Gukesh victory make him feel special,some are yet trying to find negativity in it, it might be true people are having thier personal motive in celebrating his victory but i really dont feel it should bother anyone as far as Chess is getting recognized ..so chill guys!!
He was prepared for the chaos at the board but got chaos at the airport
Was waiting for this video
Was kinda underwhelmed by the welcome . Expected it to be held in a proper way , had it been cricket , it would have been organised so well . Achieving this feet was nothing short of a once in a century feature . Chess really needs more recognition
This is one of the greatest and proudest moments for India in its entire history. It is beyond astonishing that a 17 year old has achieved this level of accomplishment.
6:05 The perfect silent punishment for an introvert
😂😅
It is great. But gukesh should not feel that pressure because of the expectations of people. He should just focus on the game.he can easily defeat ding liren. Every celebrity faces these things. Fans put so much pressure on them. Mainly the expectations of fans put so much pressure on players. When Sachin Tendulkar goed out he will be surrounded by fans. We can understand what he faces. It is something they cannot avoid people like Sachin or gukesh are very kind and will never show their anger in front of the fans.
Press was literally pressing him😂
there's so much pride in this video that i feel proud of Gukesh even though i am not indian 😮
Congratulations to Gukesh from Australia!!!
no love to Australia from bangladesh
That prideful moment when our national anthem echoes the world. Thank you champ gukesh 🥹🇮🇳
Really happy for gukesh❤, but I hope hump 👑 should also get atleast some level of recognition!
Great that chess is getting media coverage but not happy with the security
Nothing is better than this 😢❤😍
Hearty Congrats to Our Shri Gukesh - Its huge achievement - All the best for your future 👌👍
Congratulations Team India and Gukesh👏👏
One of the most beautiful videos I ever saw. Thank you!
Too much love ❤ , but the chaos was so much unorganised.
Glad to see the support increasing for the chess ❤❤❤
Pls show some order in the greetings ..certainly this is not the way to greet a huge champion..❤
genuine admiration and happiness in everyone's face
Surely that moment ,love and greetings Gukesh will never forget in his life.
Wow must be so energy-sapping to do this after such a long tournament and long flight, but yet again he's the calmest person in the city
How come Tamilnadu Govt did not have enough cops there ? Complete chaos..Nobody from Govt knowing about his homecoming? Totally callous government..such a gem is coming...and there was no proper 30 minutes gathering..and see these IPL stars ..they all have proper protection right from where they leave..to where they arrive. There was literally no safety for Gukesh .and those sweet little school kids have not had good time with his school fellow..I am sure Gukesh will visit his school sooner.. Overall, very much uncontrolled situation..Airport traffic control. Cops, government kachra politicians .all are responsible.. I demand one day salary cut from all of these people..
Cricketer nhi H na 🙃
Thank God he is such a calm and level headed character! That was frantic as hell! 🥵
9:48 Bagunnava ☺️
7:20 he look like he just want some sleep lol
Of course he is tired plus he is an introvert 😂
@@amritsharma9181 part of me wishes they could be understanding and perhaps leave him alone to let him sleep... i mean its 2am....
9:28 +30sec
My guy finally smiled after watching his mother 🥰🤍 Such a wholesome moment it was 🥺🫶
Watching everyone fight to get a good photo was wild. :D
There is something called personal space … poor gukesh.. his dad was pushed aside and people literally fell on him.. sad state of affairs… looking at this he will be scared to come to Chennai if he wins World championship 😅
his dad was not present
good job abhudaya and all chess base india team ....!!!
Thanks for the video
When asked in a FIDE interview if he was ready for the new fame in India, Gukesh replied he didn't expect it to change much. Dude had no idea!
Thanks for sharing his journey
Happy for this dude!!! What a gentleman through and through, props to his parents for raising such a fine young man 👏🏾
Congrats Gukesh 🎉🎉
8:37 Staying STRONG. A worthy candidates winner.
When he saw his mom that moment was priceless❤
Feeling bad for pragg he also played with his full spirit ...even though he didn't win he should have atleast received 1/4 th appreciation of gukesh for playing so well at this young age .....he must be feeling very low
I hope pragg was on a different flight
Deserves 🥳🤩
9:28 that damn smile....😊
Why am i crying😭😭
Such a down to Earth „Boy“. This is really a Great Moment for ihm and possibly all India.
I wish him to get the world crown, but even if he doesn't get it, I hope they receive him back just as cheerful as they're doing it right now. The kid's good enough! 👍
What a grand welcome for this man, very proud of you Nanba from Trichy, Tamil Nadu ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Such a warm welcome ❤❤
Utter chaos but beautiful 🤩
This is good, make him feel great and motivated
Congrats gukesh from indonesia,..🎉🎉🎉
I am happy to see that indian audience loving a player who doesn't play cricket ❤️
I don't know why but this win feels personal mann!❤️🥺
Finally getting the recognition he deserves 🥹❤️
This was so chaotic that poor school kids didn’t get enough glimpse…
Those photographers should have some protocol.
What a proud moment ❤❤❤❤...
Legendary!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
this is gukesh era congrats gukesh after praggnananda now gukesh amazing.
Gukesh will remember these scenes for the rest of his life. His life won't be the same now. He'll be carrying the torch of India's hopes for the next decade at least.
Lets goo Gukesh!!!❤❤❤
Chessbase india is doing fabulous work❤
