That's how he do things

That's his nature by birth. He is humble, reserved, and talks very less.

He is a chess player one of the calm and cool game not an actor 😅😅

@@Deepak-jn8dv Can't say the same about Hikaru and Kramnik

​@vikas3337 Agreed , during the event , I don't think the news channels even bothered to cover about it even a little bit , just busy in their F'ed up useless political debates. And now all of em are there with their journalist and microphones just to hear 2 words from him to put on their channel for the whole day and take credit.

Bro you have been to an Indian school. Let's be real these are just a bunch of kids who have been told to show up at 1:30 lol. You're acting like every person plays chess in school. Chess has definitely evolved and grown but this all specifically doesn't mean anything

​@@DieTreppenwitz m pretty sure you might have stopped the video after the first few minutes.....m sure the guys conducting press conf. are not school kids....definitely, a part of the crowd comprised of school kids, but not in its entirety....please appreciate wherever required....hope you can do better!

@Curio78 The kids are from Velammal school , Mogapair, Chennai which is termed by press as a Chess factory . There are 84 Grandmasters in India (all but 3 of them reached GM after year 2000) of which 29 from Tamil Nadu. Of the 29, 14 had done schooling and started chess at this Velammal school. Gukesh, Praggnanandha and his sister Vaishali are among those !

@@ksethu703 yes, I know that. Remember Anand walking out of Chennai airport after winning his candidates tournament in late 1990s only to be greeted by a couple of media channels.

​@@DieTreppenwitz bruh... Are you dum? Making such remarks without any knowledge 😆 There's hardly any student in Tamil Nadu who doesn't know Chess. Anand's victory brought in a wave of chess to India, Tamil Nadu specifically. 60-70year olds who never played chess, learned chess and taught to their grandkids

Hey @JaiSriRam801 , I dont know who you are , but you always post a comment and I love it!!! Keep up the good work brother, Jai Shree Ram💖

She was holding her tears somehow...❤

Yeah this was golden.

Crying moments honestly, simplicity level hats off

@@piyushgarg1885 I am not related to him in anyway, still i cried. I don't know why, but I can relate with him, personality wise !

​@@adityakishan589I'm frm Malaysia...I'm crying too... Weldone Gukesh....

Gukesh is shy not introvert

He is definitely introvert , it's just fame and all made him a little bit talkative , that's too for people .. otherwise he would like to remain silent all the time just like other introverts 🤣​@@SonuSonu-pw2dd

​@@Nobody-xe7siyeah introverts are smarter than extroverts and scientifically proven 😂

👍

@@SantanaRoy-fx9eu in mental aspects yes .. they are smarter 🗿

I can see in his eye bro is thinking when this gonna end when i am gonna go and meet my family

It's not everyday that a chess player gets this sort of recognition in the country plus he is the son of the land so an added pride for the people. He will be wanting this welcome everytime he goes abroad for playing. 😊

😂😂 welcome to india then ...ppl are crazy here

These are kids from his school so thats why they are so excited and we indians celebrate to extreme 😂

Follow me to support the chess community and watch amazing chess games! Thanks!

Very well said..but i think the organisers (or FIDE) might want to cash in the recognition/popularity chess is getting in India and

It'll be held in a neutral third country, not in the origin country of either players.

But you know he won the Chennai Grandmasters and when asked he said playing in his hometown helped a lot. Maybe that can help him to become world champ too

@@mrmistyrose007 That's not correct. , It's mostly held in countries where they get good sponsorship. Magnus won against Vishi in Chennai. Going by the craze we will definitely get great sponsorship from Indian companies but then we may loose the championship. Hopefully we won't

Agreed

School kids were enjoying 😂

No more chaos

Thats Gukesh school

This wasn't warm welcome tho.

Can you drop your Instagram? I want to connect to you! Or any other way to do so?

It was about 45°celcious welcome...

this seems like sarcasm

Definitely warm, after the cold weather of canada

He had not won the tournament at that time.

He is a Telugu by birth, Tamilian by heart.

​@@ptj1ptj172He is Telugu and Indian🧡🧡

@@ptj1ptj172 yah bro we feel proud as he is a Telugu guy 😌 please breathe 🤭 We r the true dravidians from Satavahana period!

@@user-lo7bu8mx8f if a tamilian says the same, they are branded as fanatics. Grow up!

@@ptj1ptj172 I pity you ! What's ur fucking problem if I feel proud about my own personal choices! Better you grow up😌 to not enter others priorities✌️🤭

​Exactly, Iam a Telugu guy myself ​and I used to get irritated seeing tamilians talking bs! But now even these guys started this, idk what to say....

Same here 😭😭😭.

no love to mahrastra from Bihar

@@gknkrnkjgjugjrgjrng चाहिये भी नाही 😂

It is just the press hooligans

collect funds for training bro he won 1CR in this tour single handedly btw

@@gastlyop this wt happens wn u don't follow his entire journey but jz d candidates( and d prize money) Showing love and appreciation is something but pounding on someone who hs jz arrived with those heavy garlands for flexing is something. Nthng wrong in receiving him at airport with cheer (by his schl students ws sweet) but rest of the things were jz for media attention. If they really wanted to felicitate him vd garland n other things, maybe fix a date n arrange a function later, also interviews cn b done later too in cmng days. Whether u believe it or not, he clearly seemed uncomfortable. Let d boy meet his family n rest for d night. Wts d point of running till the car, falling over him vd mic n camera, also those huge garlands/kireetam (all those cud hv waited till nxt day right)

no love to Australia from bangladesh

Lol

Was kinda underwhelmed by the welcome . Expected it to be held in a proper way , had it been cricket , it would have been organised so well . Achieving this feet was nothing short of a once in a century feature . Chess really needs more recognition

Cricketer nhi H na 🙃

Of course he is tired plus he is an introvert 😂

@@amritsharma9181 part of me wishes they could be understanding and perhaps leave him alone to let him sleep... i mean its 2am....
