3:50 "he plays way more games than I do" classic Grischuk, it's not a joke but it cracks you up

[yeahTHATLarry]

I found everything he said here funny and entertaining.

[nstamato]

Even when grischuk says "good morning" I find it hilarious.

[nderimsaliu]

"Once You Get This Reputation People Find ANYTHING You Say Funny" he totally got me on that.

[colinbrash]

I could listen to Grischuk 24/7. Best interviewee ever.

[alexnaturalis]

Dina Belenkaya is so entertaining in these interviews. The questions are so left and right, she always reveals something interesting about the guests. Big fan. And of course Sasha is charismatic in his usual self.

[derda]

Grischuk is the last pure soul on this earth. gotta love him

[ИмяФамилия-фрп]

Как я люблю его "Ну, It depends..."

[iemzieezz]

sasha + dina’s dynamic here is hilarious. for sasha he’s so naturally funny in the way that he is and dina looks like she’s trying so hard not to smile.

[martinpaddle]

he is right about Hikaru still being a professional player

[akawojo]

brutally honest and cool guy. rare gem nowadays.

[dannygjk]

Naka may be 'retired' but as Grischuk pointed out Naka keeps in practice so there is no rust factor for Naka therefore making a distinction of amateur vs professional is moot.

[manifestyourlife]

Sasha nailed it, he cracks me up when he doesn't even try. 😂😂

[FMDoubleYou]

He casually drops the russian word "кокетничать" (to coquet, to flirt) at 3:30 about Hikaru, knowing that Dina will get it since she speaks russian, but most of the audience won´t

[sebastiangonzalezgonzalez]

We all love Sasha. The more honest he is, the better.

[Philopantheon]

He is such a calm wise man with very good attitude personality, not mentioning his hilarious aspect ofc

[alwinw]

Hikaru saying he's retired like he forgot how to play chess 😂

[julienbourgouint]

2700 is not so much 😂 . Everything depends on perspective.

Grischuk: You don't say anything funny but people still laugh.

Dina: *don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh*
