Singapore wil pull it off because of CEO/GM/CPA Kevin Goh. Visionary, hardworking ethic, experienced and chess-passionate man. Also, because of support from the Singapore Sports ministry and from private sector corporations. Also because it is not a one-man show. Rather, Kevin has many people behind the scenes who assist him, as is evident during the bidding phase. All the best, Kevin, in the planning and effort required to put on a great show for the world. Singapore has a propensity to be first and world-class in many things, and the organisation of this years WCC is no exception. Lastly, may this event boost Singapore chess and send chess fever and popularity in Singapore to the Stratosphere. For a Singaporean talented individual or team to be a podium finisher in the Candidates or in the Olympiad, is right now unthinkable, but one day when that happens, it will because of the influence, leadership, sacrifices and inspiration of GM Kevin Goh who laid the groundwork in 2024 for future successes.

Looking forward to see all you in Singapore...Gukesh, Vishy Sir, Amruta, Tania, yourself, hopefully Botez sisters, Dina, Vidith as well. Aajao aajao, it will be fun.

#suggestion.. @ChessBaseIndiachannel...Should we have casablanca chess playoffs instead of Rapid Playoffs for world Championship.. Thoughts??Any negatives here??

Excellent presentation. Next desired candidates list to challenge D Gukesh. 1. Caruana 2. Nakamura 3. Anish Giri 4. Pragg 5. Firouzia 6. Nodirbek 7. Nepo 8. Ding. If Nakamura and Ding is not playing then Arjun and Welsy So.

At first he looked like a kid

I international rated open tournament pink city Jaipur Rajasthan 2006 high rated chess player and ex AO central government salute to decent anchor n panelist.

Delhi literally has unbreathe air in November and December. What were they thinking bidding for it . Emil sutovsky embarassed it . Only place that could host is ramoji film city in Hyderabad which hosted a world cup in early 2000s and gukesh is telugu that gives a developed place feel

Fast

First

Singapore is quite an expensive place to visit 🎉

🇮🇳🇮🇳

Kevin Goh, your camera, or rather your laptop was tilted at wrong angle.

Bro looks like a 16 year old

I do not respect Kevin Goh Wei Wing. Firstly, I do not believe he is a legitimate GM. Secondly, I heard he makes fake, scripted chess content. If you cannot play chess without scripting the moves in your favor, then you shouldn't be playing. Kevin is sus.

Conduct the match in the ping pong room of Singapore National stadium and stream the game live on Big screens. Fischer-Spassky
