The 60 years younger joke between Yasser and Garry is so funny

Seeing these two interact is always a treat.

Imagine you being a world champion but there is this Magnus guy who beats everyone in every tournament you compete in

Garry Kasparov. A great champion and ambassador of chess. Courageously using his platform in politics. The man is a GIANT.

I love Garry, my dream is an autograph from him

I love hearing Kasparov

garry calling himself the first knowledge worker who's job got taken by a computer had me in stitches

When it went from Alireza's fashion design classes to the kidnapping of thousands of Ukranians, I couldn't help but laugh at how fast the conversation shifted.

Love kasprov the way he explain ❤!!!!

Get rid of the useless ultra-wide cameras which shrink the board to nothing. Since this has been pointed out many times to the St. Louis producers, I sadly repeat: Get rid of the useless ultra-wide cameras which shrink the board to nothing. Consult a local photographer.

Magnus just don't want to spend half a year prepping theory..he wants to play chess

Thank you very much for this. Cheers to everyone.

Gary is as witty as ever! Always interesting to hear his opinion!

Always great to hear from the legend Garry Kasparov!

Nice interview. Thank you.

we need more kasparov and yasser interviews that was great

The idea that there are rules to the World Championship process is alien to Kasparov: 1. Organized a candidates cycle and didnt play the winner; 2. Separeted from fide but after losing control of the classical title tryed to get a match with two FIDE Champions (No qualification process, wanted to get the match strait away) 3. Reconized Topalov as the true World Champion after he won a round robin that did not include the reigning world champion. 4. Claimed no one took the Kramnik - Leko match seriously (even though it follow the rules Kaspa agreed to in the Prague Agreement organized by Yasser Seirawan) I respect Kasparov greatly, think he is the chess GOAT and applaud his fight for democracy... But here he got it upside down: It wont be as good of a show, as Carlsen isn't in it, but it will be a Worl Championship. Why is it a World Championship? Because it followed agreed upon rules and is recognised as such by the 16th World Champion Magnus Carlsen.

I completely agree with Garry's reaction to Alireza's fashion classes.

Betting on Ding Liren, but with very low confidence.

It'll be a world championship, but of course its value diminished until Carlsen retires from chess

This Yasser Serawain is full of worldliness. Maya!

What are they supposed do, cancelling it cause Magnus doesn't want to participate?

Gary is extremely honest. This is not a World Championship without the best player in the world playing.

Even if Nepo wins the WC, it is inconsequential as Magnus is still viewed as the real champion.

Age is afecting my childhood idol. Total insanity Mr Kssparov.

Why does Kasparov always have to do Nepo the dirty? First he ignored Nepo's handshake and now he's just dropping put downs on Nepo's 2nd world championship match. As someone who quit chess in his prime, Kasparov should be a bit more understanding about acknowledging the legitimacy of a world championship where the "Strongest player" voluntarily decides not to participate.

Yasser would be the chillest grandpa teaching his grandkids the Ruy Lopez

In the Kasparov vs Deep Junior game 5, modern stockfish 15 considers Bxh2 a mistake and converges around +2 score after move 15. The g3 line secures a stable advantage for white.

i agree it’s not a world championship just like a tournament without bobby fisher isn’t a world championship, so by this definition both karpov and kasparov weren’t world champions.

Learning about news from the world (the ICC warrant) with some random chess video. Thanks Garri!

But also good to see him keeping up the fight like when he went toe to toe with the bootlicker Karpov.

I disagree Garry - you are BLAMING Ian and Ding for a choice made by MAGNUS - it is NOT their fault Magnus chose to exit and they should NOT be penalised or their victory lowered because of that action - one of them WILL be World Championship and Magnus will NOT - BY CHOICE - and if and until Magnus wins BACK that title he is RANK 2 in the world of chess as it should be and MUST be - forfeiting a game is still DEFEAT - the REASON he chose to forfeit is part of the DEMANDS of being World Champion - when you FAIL to meet those demands you can no longer be considered World Champion - Ian and Ding accepted those demands - that is NOT inconsequential - the issue I have here is that Magnus was on record to beat Kasparov's longevity and has FAILED - the torch has not passed to the GOAT - even though many consider Magnus to be GOAT he has NOT proven it by failing to hold the Championship for as long as Kasparov did - that MEANS something - it takes a LOT to be GOAT and yes longevity - motivation - pressure - will to win Championship after Championship is the TEST that Magnus FAILED which puts him firmly as Tier II BEHIND Kasparov for GOAT - a wasted moment by MAGNUS that he WILL regret one day as his legacy will forever be tainted just like Bobby Fisher's was - being World Champion comes with a LOT of obligations and pressures and some cannot handle that long term - Magnus showed he CANNOT handle that long-term - period - am I disappointed in his choice - yes and no - yes because he disrespected the Chess community to walk off the field rather than face defeat - and no because he can do whatever he likes - but please do NOT claim him as GOAT no longer - he is NOT nor can never again be considered as such - he LOST that title when he QUIT - odd that Kasparov is arguing FOR Magnus but I think it just shows how disappointed he is that Magnus threw away his opportunity - what Kasparov achieved over the board AND his longevity in doing so - is BEYOND Magnus' capability - even as great a chess player as he is - he is NOT GOAT

The reality is: The person who consistently has had the highest rating in chess is the best player. And that player is Magnus.

And if people think less of of the New Champion, then blame Magnus

Ding vs Nepo is interesting but no World Championship Match! Yes we kinda knew that already lol

Omg Yasser interviewing his eternal crush...😍😍

Maybe off topic, I ain't watching this all first. But I do wonder if, on top of wanting format fixes, magnus just wants a target to aim at for competitive classical chess.

The world's Subchampionchip should b the name of this so called chess world championship.

The world champion will be always second

For anyone wondering why kasparov talk about ukraine. Kasparov has been dabbling in politics since he retired from chess. He even runs for president and lost, 2 times i think. But he still fighting

They can't scrap the World Championship because the champion steps down, they have to continue, even though the best player in the world will not be the world champion.

Ding is more stable than Nepo? Really? That's interesting, man. @5:00

I think there was a chance missed by FIDE here- they should have allowed Carlsen to hand-pick his opponent, be it Anish, or some random young guy (of which there are plenty). He clearly believes there are guys worth defending the title against (like Fabiano few years ago) and the guys he is stressed to fight (like Nepo last time around- I do like the guy, but I do see Magnus' point), just because he believes he shouldn't lose to them. BTW glad to see Garry (this man should be playing in Croatian junior championship- the way he smiles when talking about Hague)

There are many beautiful and insightful women who do not participate in Miss Russia. Then, Kasparov have to say the winner is not the Miss Russia. Whether one is the best or the strongest if one doesn't want to compete in the tournament he/she does not deserve to be the champion. One who participates and wins it, is the real champion, weak or strong does not matter.

it´s good to see him smiling. many years not happening. Not always the strongest player is the champion. He must face the rules and the rules are not so important to kasparov. Fischer was the strongest player between 1962 and 1972 winning all his tournaments but two. But he refused to play the candidates cycles.. And I assume (following the argument) the non official kasparov vs kramink match in 2000 was not a real wrold match because the real challenger, Shirov who won the right to be play kasparov was banned by the champion who was ruler and champion. And i assume kasparov thinks he is the real president of Russia too.

Yes they will be , Magnus gave up his crown,now there will be a New Champion

3:36 will someone explain how white wins this after black plays Ra3?

Gary is funny. Yasser too

man i love the interaction here lol

The Dingus will prevail

Why isn't Magnus defending his title?

The Norwegian Landlord is coming back eventually to collect the rent

Intelligence and knowledge that transcends chess

So if an Olympic gold medalist decides that preparations for the next Games are not worth it and doesn't compete, do all subsequent winners must feel belittled and their medals are worthless? That is a silly logic, Mr Kasparov, you are not a good man.

Hmm. Kasparov became world champion by beating Karpov I believe. Karpov became world champion after beating the previous world champion naturally. Or not in fact. Karpov never played Bobby Fischer in a WC match. Fischer was very much alive when K&K duked it out. Didn’t hear Kasparov saying it wasn’t a real WC match then did we. Hypocrite

Magnus isn't playing it's his problems!

Gary is wrong, they might not be vs Magnus but Definitely rooting for Ding Lireng. Either way It's a strong world championship match. Not need to belittle it.

The next chess tour match between Magnus and the new WC will be interesting , presumably Ding will compete , post pandemic.

Not agree. Let's say a tennis player retired from his career, the title is still up there....

Seirawan is clueless about world events.

If you stop defending the title you also stop being the strongest player in the world.

😂😂 Saint Louis Chess club which doesn't like to read comments from users. Here it is again, world chess championship doesn't make sense. Happy deleting!!!

I don’t get the backlash for Alireza’s fashion interest. Kid is curious about other things and wants to have a life outside of chess. Obviously it will take away from his time OTB to some extent but he’s pursuing a dream

For a long time I used to get the impression that Kasparov would never get over the painful loss to Kramnik, After watching this interview, I am a feeling that the great man has now accepted that Big Vlad simply outfoxed him.

From the first question…Kasparov was wondering why the hell he was called for this interview. What a joke the chess world is in right now.

No, that is simply wrong, Mr. Kasparov

Carlsen can not pick it. The stronger player gets the title not the one he prefers, kid.

he's so happy with the ICC warrant lol

hans niemann will be soon the next world chess champion. garry lost the big man...

Magnus Carlsen is the true world champion

Garry’s glasses sit too high. Not fitted properly.

Garry knowing full well he would clown stomp both Nepo and Liren.

Politics? Here as well?

Kasparov is soooo good at making jokes. He should be the president of the United States. Then there will be world peace.

Nepo-Ding=Karpov-Kasparov

Magnus wanted to retire WC. It suggests he carriers a fear of losing to someone else and that perhaps maybe he thinks he's not up to par.

Poor Kasparov still trying to seem important. A great player but so little dignity

Disgusting. They allow politics in chess.

He is too full of himself.

Kasparov was often an idiot off the chessboard. And sometimes on it too. Loved his fighting style though.

Kasparov was just lucky when he beat Karpov. Anyway, Kasparov is a person who praise only himself. I do not respect others .
