how he talks about his parents' sacrifices is amazing. such maturity and awareness is quite rare especially amongst teenagers. i hope he becomes a world champion, he's the perfect successor to the equally wholesome and mature Vishy Anand.

Winning candidates at 17 is not an easy job, well played gukesh 👏

I love this interviewer idk why. Superb questions, nice chemistry with gukesh, went with the flow. It's hard to lure answers out of gukesh but that interview was awesome. I'm almost wanting to watch it again. This calmness of the setting, this thoughtfulness of gukesh, the correct pacing of the interviewers questioning. If this was a 3 hour joe rogan type interview, i would watch every single second of it

Wish you Gukesh all the very best. Do well.

Gukesh is great and can be world champion. Good luck in match with Din Liren.

[kaviwardhman]

It shows he has dedicated whole of his life😅 to chess. He can very well achieve the pinnacle of a sport in just 11 years which is mind- boggling.

[ChandrakantVadher]

Very matured answers by this 17 y/o kid. Revealing only enough, and yet making sure it doesn't feel like he is skiping the questions.

Salute to his parents & school management for doing everything necessary, to nurture his talent. ❤️

Love & best wishes Guki! 🇮🇳💐

Gukesh got great reception and became a huge star in India. Vishy Anand said he felt like passing on the baton to Gukesh. He is the next big thing in India and world chess. Hope he wins the world championship 👑🤴

You can't ask sibling number Man 🙂. Good Interview with Zero prep and blitzing all moves.

They really want gukesh to say he got help from other gms, and had an extra support. Like even in the vishy era the interviewers were asking him dumb questions, when would it stop for Indians.
