Am very sick of this " good boy " image of elite Indian sportsmen. They might be doing it for commercial reasons and to attract the best sponsors.

 

But it is OTT to be honest even with Gukesh.  I dont like the OTT humility, modesty and perfect mannerisms.

 

FFS, he is an 18 year old.

 

The greatest of champions - look at any major sport have rarely ever been " good " guys.   I still believe Kasparov is the GOAT in Chess, but he had an entire system behind him. Magnus has unbelievable god gifted talent - but he is an arrogant narcissist, who rarely ever has anything good to say about his opponents. 

 

Trash talk, psychological games and all of this brings character and excitement. Being a "gentleman " always is boring and feels pusillanimous.

 

 

He is from Chennai. He will be a good boy.

Epic interview. 3 hours long....

Not seen many of his interviews. He has good control over English. He is very articulate also humble. I was not sure whether to talk to him in English or Tamil then talked in English anyway. I think this humbleness is something i observe among all Indian chess players. May be Anand is handsdown one of the humbles chess celebrity you can come across. What a human being. If these cricketers have to learn something from these guys it is that quality.

Gukesh has won here and Pragg  beat Carlsen last year :hatsoff:

 

But there is Arjun Egraisi who's higher rated than both of them. Still only 21. Hope he has his moment too.

 

An all Indian WC next year would be awesome.

Pragg beat Carlsen this year, in classical, that too in the latter's home turf, Norway Chess Classic.

 

 

Among our youngsters, Carlsen shows max vulnerability against Pragg. He was one guy who could hang with Carlsen at the age of 15-16, even in shorter formats. Very talented.

Sorry @Gollum for spoiling your’s marvellous thread with frustrating rant on our loosers. Deleted everything.

It's ok bhai. I enjoy when you lash out at our overrated cricketers, nobody roasts those losers better than you.

Meanwhile BCCI registered as charitable organization, so they don't have to pay income tax on IPL earnings.
