getting garry to make an interview here is like a dream come true from my childhood, thans c-squared team, much love

[Humengine]

Fabis greatness is shown in this podcast. Spoke minimally (just asked questions), listened with intrigue and when Gary praised Hikaru and Magnus, you could not sense even an iota of brashness (like some people hint at some events where they were brilliant just to earn their praise, Fabi could have easily brought up Sinq 2014 or spoken more on his recent run or something like that in some context and earned praise).a lot to lean as a person from Fabi in this podcast, thanks

It is just insane to me that we can watch 2 of the 3 only players to breach 2850 (live rating) ever just sit down and chat like this, completely for free. It is truly a special privilege to live in a time where we as chess fans get these intimate insights into the absolutely brilliant minds that have formed the game for decades!

This is Gary Kasparov everyone. Let us appreciate that we are part of this generation to witness history.

[nilent]

"You can't fight age"...so true, yet Kasparov's joy and spirit remain at 100%!

[spidyduzit]

In both chess and life, there always another move - Garry Chess

[mikecroke]

Get your popcorn and gather round folks.

[LateCloser]

I will never forgive Kramnik for disallowing the rematch. However, I also was unhappy that Shirov did not get his opportunity. The great irony of the game of chess is that it may be the most fair and balanced game ever created. Yet, it can be the opposite outside of the 64 squares it is played on.

Great interview.

[carlosalcibiades]

It's always a pleasure to listen to Garry. A brilliant mind and a role model.

[spiked]

Kasparovs charisma radiates through, truly a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve

[SRMi]

That example Caruana gave about Fritz being totally misguided against Stockfish was very interesting. Very relevant now too with us increasingly trusting what AI tells us even without understanding how it has reached it's conclusions.

[Phurngirathaana]

Brutal honesty is a hallmark of all these legends
Anand Carlsen Kasparov
Even Caruana!
Hope be becomes world champion!

[winrar]

#2 and #3 highest rated players of all time in a conversation. amazing

[EGarrett]

18:12 Caruana asks if part of Kasparov's advantage after the openings was psychology. Apparently in the game where he beat Kramnik in the Berlin in 2001 after losing the world title because he couldn't win against Kramnik in that opening, Kramnik was so worried about Kasparov using a novelty when Kasparov chose that opening that Kramnik changed one of his own moves first, and Kramnik ended up confused, wasted an hour on a following move, and then ended up in time trouble and blundered and lost. So we never even got to find out if Kasparov had a new move planned to try and beat Kramnik, because in that game Kramnik essentially defeated himself before Kasparov could.

[shumbuk]

So interesting hearing all the chess history from the source himself...31:54 saying Nikitin spotted him playing for board 5 for the Azeri team and sent an invitation to meet Botvinnik...and that must be the same co-author of the Sicilian Scheveningen book by Kasparov that I read years ago! So funny how the same names pop up.

[vatsalmakol]

You guys are literally the best and bringing literally THE BEST people. Super lucky to watch these people. I guess Magnus would be coming soon, would be super epic seeing Fabi and Magnus together in a podcast🔥❤️
