Daniil Dubov is the new guest of my podcast! One of the strongest Russian chess players, World Rapid Champion and Magnus Carlsen's second.
We speak about Ding Liren, Nepo's emotionality and Magnus's tardiness. How much do top chess players earn? Should a Russian grandmaster change the federation because of politics? How can Magnus be psychologically defeated? We discussed this and more, and we fight in blitz at the end.
