This amazing Magnus Carlsen interview took place at 4.30 a.m. IST | Champions Chess Tour

Magnus Carlsen is in scintillating form in San Francisco as he not only won the Champions Chess Tour Finals, but the entire 2022 event. In round 6 he played an excellent match against Praggnanandhaa to win 2.5-0.5. After the match ended, we were able to get Magnus on the livestream to discuss some of the critical moments from the match. The world champion also showed us a very interesting position that he had studied at a training camp recently. All of this happened at 4.30 a.m. Indian time! A very special interview that ended with Magnus praising the work that ChessBase India is doing and giving a big shout out to the Indian talents and fans!

Special thanks to Harshil Jhaveri who was present in San Francisco and made this interview possible.

Magnus is special! The guy become world number 1 at the age of 18 and at the age of almost 32, wears his crown after every tournament, where rest play for the 2nd spot. His chess insights always carry forth a nugget of wisdom. Also, you can tell Magnus respects Sagar very much (and has done so in past interviews), and appreciates Sagar's efforts to bring the Indian chess community to a global stage. Thank you Sagar bhai for everything you are doing, you are fantastic! Lots of love to Chessbase India!!!

Magnus is the best Champion anyone could ever ask for. He's humble and arrogant at the same time lol. He has the arrogance you need to get to the top and the humbleness you need to stay there. The magic he produces on the board and his down to earth nature and sense of humor off the board makes him the people's champion. I don't care who *officially* holds the world championship title. As long as Magnus is playing, you're the 2nd best. My GOAT.❤💯

[ami_gourav]

Magnus has shown interest even before for understanding what's happening in Indian Chess and he has visible respect for Sagar and CBI's invaluable efforts. Love your work, Sagar - you're awesome and we love you. Also, Thank U samay for how you connected us all to chess in the lockdown and since.

I have seen magnus in many interviews like MANY
I have never seen him THIS candid and chill and relaxed
The way he was answering the questions or just talking felt different
There is something about Sagar which makes people comfortable
AND to get a shout out from Magnus himself is matter of great honour and Sagar deserves every single bit of it❤️

[atmarambhide]

he is down to earth by nature, it was absolute pleasure to see him live in stream yesterday.
Lets have him for Deathmatch 3.0 vs hikaru in India
Thankyou Sagar bhai and CBI

[stargirl]

He has that winner smile in this video ugh it’s the best feeling in the world

[debojyotichoudhury]

@7:28 Sagar OP! Humble Shah saying thank you in the best way possible!

[freezethinker]

Super computer said "if the computer says so, then I'm wrong"

What a humble interview! We love him for his ruthlessness on the board & for his down to earth attitude off the board.

[DDOMohit]

Okay so I watched it live and then watched again, then watched again to see the sagar's reaction and once again here just to give a thumbs up. Sagar bhai is like he got a call from his crush if you want to watch that go look at the stream, he was unable to store his happiness after the interview.😁😁

[YoussefRahoui]

Sagar leads with kindness, and it shows. Results speak for themselves.

[ganesankrishnamurthy]

He handled the pressure better than me.. that is Magnus.... Chess God.

[sumeetbhattacharjee]

This is unbelievable. No doubt that an interview with MC is memorable but more special was he praising Sagar bhai & Chessbase India. It really gave me goosebumps and my eyes became moist. Keep up the good work Sagar bhai.

[manojbala]

a thoroughly deserved shout out for sagar from the world champion. i was watching this before leaving for work today morning and it was great to see magnus interact with gm ramesh and gm pragg as well. and then thanks to harshil for waiting there and getting this gem of an interview for us from the GOAT himself.

Edit: What an honour to get a hi in the beginning with a genuine smile and a wave. Wesley was equally humble. What a bunch of motivational people!

Edit 2: everyone knows king magnus is a goat. Harshil op for getting the interview

[Prit]

7:27 I don't know why I feel like I have achieved something.
Sagar OP! 💫

[joydutta]

This is one of the best moments in CBI YT stream journey ❤❤❤

[martinkennedy]

...what a great, great champ
so accommodating
so respectful
top man

[shekhar_narwal]

It's really sad to not see Magnus being the World Champion again!

[mathisj]

2 guys with a great passion for chess. Tnx for all your efforts Sagar Shah! You are doing an amazing job.

[programinghub]

Sagar bhai was like bhai pehli bar crush ka call aya he
Mereko to esa dhak dhak ho re la he 😂😂

[ravivaradhan]

Magnus is the world chess champion and Sagar Shah is the World Champion of Chess Coverage! What a phenomenal passion for chess from both! Truly inspirational.
