  • Daniel "Danya" Naroditsky RIP

    Listening to interview with Daniel "Danya" Naroditsky I can’t help, but wonder if he was bullied paired by someone he had once admired who was so jealous of him, jealous of his popularity, and how loved and admired he was by so many people….? Daniel "Danya" Naroditsky seem to be perhaps one of the most popular and admired people in chess and the kindest and his peace of mind and well-being harmed by someone who is never gonna be loved like him, quite the opposite. I was a victim of violence and ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

NODIRBEK Abdusattorov: Magnus, Gukesh, Candidates | PODCAST
Q: What changed to help you regain consistency after a tough stretch, and how did that translate into your results?
I stopped chasing results and started playing for the joy of the game, changed my mindset, and adjusted my training approach, including coaching changes; these shifts led to more stable performances and rating gains.
The TRUTH about FREESTYLE Chess | Jan Buettner PODCAST
Q: What are the main reasons for not continuing the big tour right now?
The main reasons are economic and investor appetite; there is no consistent, multi-million dollar commitment from sponsors to fund another large-scale tour, so focus shifts to the World Championship format and growing the Freestyle Fridays audience instead.
You WON’T BELIEVE Magnus’s Next Opponent | PODCAST
Q: So, Oleg, thank you so much for joining me today. The first question I have for you is about the match that you proposed to organize, the match between Magnus Carlsen and Sergey Koryakin, which is, to put it frankly, a very controversial idea. And I think that many people would ask why and how come you even came up with such an idea?
I think it is important to remember that this match was very dramatic, Carlsen was on the brink of disaster, and there was wide interest outside the chess world.
Wei Yi: CANDIDATES, Ding’s Comeback & Gukesh | PODCAST
Q: What are your goals in chess these days?
My only goal is to try to win the candidates even though I know it's not really.
Wei Yi: CANDIDATES, Ding’s Comeback & Gukesh | PODCAST
Q: Is Ding Liren somehow helping you with the preparation?
I'm trying to find the ways to solve my preparation issues.
