The way he says "most of his contenders will finally die" so nonchalantly is hilarious.

[thesavantart]

Lmao, imagine if someone actually died while playing against Magnus while the position is a dead draw.

Radja looking like John Wick!! Hope he has a great tournament.

Something made me smile in this Radjabov's interview. Maybe it is just that he didn't let the interviewer ask some of the weird questions by talking so long. Or because he is funny in general.

[iamabhik]

The openness in terms of views amoungst these challengers is so refreshing. One would hardly find such commentary from previous era challengers.

Radjabov sees himself as normal people :p as a top of the world chess player I would consider him just a little different.

[samvangelder]

Well I tend to lose focus after 1h30 or 2h in OTB chess games, my brain just can't calculate after that. Luckily I'm so bad I tend to lose before I get tired ;-). But 5 to 7h a day really is top professional sport.

Not sure if anyone can relate but when he said "very great, amazing." at the end he sounded like Fernando Alonso when he's sarcastic lol

[davidgirsvaldas]

I cant get over how cool her nails look in every interview

[unfixablegop]

"Did you manage to have some great rest day yesterday?"
"Very great, amazing"

LOL

[MadmanGoneMad]

Am i the only one who finds how dapper her outfit is?

[forcabrasil]

Also, Magnus can play using only one hand. He's scary!!! 😱

[xcx]

nothing says chad more than "most of his contenders will die before the end of the tournament and he will emerge as the winner"
magnus is really something else with chess and consistency.

[unfixablegop]

Radjabov's definition of "normal": just top 10, not #1.

[RDSR]

Did u get enough rest yesterday
It was amazing
😉😉

P.S. sorry cant help it

[Whodat]

"For the normal people, not so easy"

[niinuetey]

Kasparov, Karpov, botvnnik, Magnus. They consider physical fitness as a prime requirement in chess. This should be drilled in chess players. Nepo developing pot belly. Smh. When the body gets tired, the brain also follows

[JessicaMorgani]

Bruh her outfit?!?! I'm so jealous of that girl looking great and talking to the chess Gods!

[Aj-chkz]

Wtf is "I had very great rest, Amazing !" 😆

[henkschmitz]

He said 'finally' but meant 'eventually'.
