Its Funny how Vishy introduces himself in the beginning as if no one knows him.

[syauqiachmad]

GM gives you free queen ?!... smells so vishy

I'm too young to have known Vishy through his whole career, but I became a fan after he lost to Carlsen and then completely beat the odds to come back and win the candidates for a Carlsen rematch. Absolutely incredible.

I like his slower pace. Calm and collected, chooses his words wisely. The usual chess commentary is not for me.

I’ve heard about Vishy before but not until this video did I realize what a truly nice guy he is. Chess comes and goes but niceness is forever. And legends are forever too :-)

5 times world champion but an humble one. Rare.

Vishy has that classsic classic indian dad shirt :)

There's nothing better than a player of Anand's level explaining his thought process behind his moves. This is one of the best games I've ever watched.

Vishy Anand is a class act. In games where Carlsen had beaten him in the WC, he stayed for the full length of the analysis, answering all the insulting and ridiculous questions people were asking him ("what do you tell your fans after losing this game?" etc etc). Compare him to Carlsen, who storms out of interviews in mere seconds. For all Carlsen's skill, he lacks the character to lose well. I don't look up to Carlsen, but I absolutely look up to Anand.

Genius, Anand is definitely one of the greatest ever!

[schwindsichtigaderechte]

It is inspiring to see such a legendary grandmaster talking about one of his most brilliant ideas so humbly and casually. Vishy really is a class-act.

[samueltukamushaba]

That sequence of moves is probably the best I’ve seen yet.

[sriramsankar]

He is so humble even when he says he is 5 time world champion, no arrogance. Love Vishy Anand ❤️

[VARMOT]

he is a top 3 speed chess players in history . dominated speed chess for 2 decades and top 10 classical chess player in history . absolute chess genius

This is the first game which I ever studied. It is a gem. I remember all the moves:

1. e4 d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 3. Nc3 Qa5 4. d4 Nf6
5. Nf3 c6 6. Bc4 Bf5 7. Ne5 e6 8. g4 Bg6
9. h4 Nbd7 10. Nxd7 Nxd7 11. h5 Be4 12. Rh3 Bg2
13. Re3 Nb6 14. Bd3 Nd5 15. f3 Bb4 16. Kf2 Bxc3
17. bxc3 Qxc3 18. Rb1 Qxd4 19. Rxb7 Rd8 20. h6 gxh6
21. Bg6 Ne7 22. Qxd4 Rxd4 23. Rd3 Rd8 24. Rxd8+ Kxd8
25. Bd3

After Bd3 black resigned as there are too many threats. If Bh1 then Rb8+ and the only way to defend will be to play Nc8 otherwise the h8 rook hangs. But after Nc8 there is Ba6 which wins the knight as it can't move due to the pin. The prisoner bishop can only move from g2 to h1 and will eventually fall.

The thing I love about Vishys games is he is so principal in his play, development/center control/king safety and then the tactics all work because of this, its all very simple and straight forward until it isnt, kind of like a modern Morphy

[pumagutten]

Vishy, you are a class act. Stay safe! Greetings from Norway.

[brandonmiles]

The longer I play, the more I find that many of the best and most brilliant moves involve pushing a pawn past the 6th rank. Whether it's a discovered attack/check, forcing the opponent to open up a file to infiltrate the back rank, forcing them to keep an otherwise dangerous rook on the back rank to prevent promotion, etc. My only brilliant move was a similar, c7 with a discovered attack on the rook, and also attacked a knight preventing check by the queen.

[spconcodoc]

I've watched this game so many times that the moment I saw the alignment of the pieces, I knew it's the Joel Lautier game and h6 is the move. I thought maybe Anand will show his game vs levon aronian, 2013 wijk an zee. Anand is a living legend ❤

[DaynePeachman]

Such a beautiful idea and move. Anand is an all time great and he's still going at it.
