This was super cool. The bros came out and speedrun their game, and many other potential games. And the commentators knew to just sit back and let them do their thang.

What a rare treat. This should be the standard post-game treatment, at least for games between top players. It's sad that it only seems to be draws in which both players will analyse together.

Vidit always brings positive vibes in such interviews and makes them fun to watch. He has this rare quality of being immediately likeable to anyone even if they don't know him.

Vidit is so sweet, and Hikaru is so entertaining. What could go wrong with this analysis.

It's funny how in the recap, Hikaru is moving the white pieces and Vidit is moving the black ones, even though they actually played with the colors reversed.

Huge props to the person holdind a TV from behind for us to see them analysis , truely one of the moments

This segment of the post game interview should be called "Alternate Ending". 😂 I love it. These players are essentially playing another game but while thinking out loud. It's very good for us fans.

Vidit’s vibe is always awesome🧡

The kind of chess content we want. Very enjoyable. Didnt understand a word they said😂

I was always fascinated with the post game conversation between the two players that fans can never hear. It’s awesome that we can witness this now 👍🏼

This is what every post game interview should be like. Amazing to see them play out their ideas!

Sign me up for the future episodes of 'The Vidit Hikaru Show'.😂

I love this kind of setup i hope they often do this after their game in every tournament

This is a great segment, please try to do more of these!

super idea, please, still making more of these debates, not just in drawings, its very very interesting to see in which lines and stuff both of them were thinking during the games, so we have a more sounding aproach of the reality of the matches!!!!!

This was kinda wholesome ngl. But mainly because they both have such a great vibe.

Thank you Vidit, thank you Hikaru. Fascinating content!

We live in the best era of chess. What a privilege to watch and analyse game with top GMs! Thank you for providing the opportunity.

I hope Fide will continue to let the players debate the positions like this. It is really cool. Most of us won't get it, but it is nice nevertheless. Do it for every tournament if possible!

love it! and Nakamura, even wearing his signature shirt. doesn't get any better

Finally commentators can rest😂 When they got Hikaru and Vidit there❤

The perfect post game interview of players. VD & hikarku OP✌️

Damn, this was amazing! Seeing two brilliant minds work together to understand positions and games is such a treat! I love the moments when you can see that they wordlessly understand each other and nod and then riff off the entire line that they both were thinking!

We are so blessed as lovers of this game. This tech and vibe in chess truly makes more and more people want to learn and get into it. I'm a basic player 1500+- area. And I just love learning and watching this type of interactions it makes me think better when I play. Also like years ago you would've never seen GMs do this type of stuff . So we really are blessed

Vidit's such a chess crush...😍

15 mins of vd talking about chess is everything 🔥🔥

Two mind readers have a conversation.

That was a very complex game...Thanks for analysis

This is amazing content. Please have this more with both players explaining and theorizing.❤

They can read each other's mind in under a second.

Great to see FIDE being creative and giving us something really good!

best duo to explain chess

Why don’t y’all make them do this more often this is sick lol

I didn’t think Vidit could get this far, glad I was wrong! He’s always had the talent but now I think for the first time he’s got his nerves under control and has learned to close out games against the best. I’m rooting for him in the candidates even over Pragg!

Chess has been studied to the level of a science unlike most games and these these are top chess scientists so it’s amazing to see them analyze together.

please keep this content up great stuff super entertaining

Would love to see Hans and Hikaru analyse together 😂😂

loved these we should get more reviews in this format from FIDE

It is insightful to see how they think

The commentators dont even need to do anything 😂

Ram Ram vidit bhai🧡Great play again🧡 Keep the momentum going💥 Bhagwan bless you🙏

Like watching a lively conversation in sign language. I am legally blind.

Wow, we need way more content like this....

This hearkens back to the old days of display analysis boards. Nice to see.

This was so good.

The two winners well played

So awesome!

Great idea so the commentators don't have to do anything 🤣

This was invaluable

Commentator feels like they watching Twitch broadcast. They didn't say a thing. Lol

More of these

Vidit didn't get a chance to sacrifice his king.

This is AWESOME!

both well dressed.... love to see it

They both stream so they know how games are analysed for audience. Pay cut for David because these two did his job😂

Hard to get your comments in with Hikaru,but he wasn't bad with Vidit

Vidit has become a better and aggressive player in the last 6 months.

Imagine Hans Niemann chiming in on the analysis...

The audio of these segments are very bad, can barely hear the players

Chess games should be played At-the-wall like this instead of Over-the-board

I love the analysis by both players after games - it brings an entirely new element to it, compared to the engine or a commentator playing as the other side.Hilarious to see Hikky knock the French (defense) after calling Iranians emotional earlier in the tournament. Certified xenophobe. Looks like Vidit and Hikaru could have stayed there doing this until the end of the final game.

Awesome

Top notch content

Great content

this is great

why hikaru sounds like the "apparently guy"

awesome

why do they all have a chess accent but only when they're at the games.

2 super gms analyzing and I'm just there watching seriously as if I'm following 😂😂

it‘s great that they don‘t use engines, way better than niemann and firouza interview

hikaru's shirt looks like the design on a box of good n plenty who the hell picked that out?

This is C😎😎L

Congrats vidit 🕉️🕉️🛕🛕🇮🇳🇮🇳🚩🚩🚩🚩for winning this grand Swiss championship. 🎉🎉🎉🎉 Jai shri Ram 🙏🙏🙏🚩🕉️🚩🚩

in other words, Vidit should've continued--he's taken the safe option last two games, which likely will come back to haunt him.

Sagar bhai

Vidit teaches chess to hikaru

let them cook

This is what we call good analysis. Not like Hans Nieman talking about his feelings. Sign of cheating by hans.

Poor Alireza 😢

Hikaru used to wear glasses right?Does he wear contact lenses or did he get eye surgery?

💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞

It's so amazing to see two of the best players in the world analyzing their game together. Imagine seeing Fischer doing this in this same manner. I think in 40 years people looking back at this it will truly be one of the best times of chess. Magnus Hikaru era.

Hikaru better at Blitz not long term analysis

Mm

Whaaaat? Whaaaat? This isnt 2750+ analysis from hikaru, vidit is outplaying him in all positions. Yet he was making fun of hans. Hiki be a good boy

No king sacrifice this game from Vidit, disappointing

Both can't win Russian Siberian Tigers because no one needs to teach a fish how to swim. So it's impossible to win Russian chess player except Magnus Carlson

hikaru is so short, his big head looks weird on his little body, little even though hes kind of fat lol
