@DeveshsK_ They should bring in Sowmya and Harshit as full-time commentators to anchor the serious analysis. Sagar could take on a lighter role, adding humour and bringing in occasional guests. Whatever the format, the chess itself should always stay at the centre
@DeveshsK_ …relying on his relationships with the current generation of players to carry it. That isn't sustainable. Over the long run, quality consistently beats gimmickry and low production values
@DeveshsK_ ChessBase India's professional standards and overall quality have slipped noticeably, and that opens up a serious gap in the Indian market for genuinely professional chess commentary and analysis. Sagar appears to have lost direction on the business model..
@davidllada You mean the candidate left the opening ceremony to sort accommodation issues even before you did? Hats off to his commitment. Taking the job seriously even before his election
@warrior_indian9@viditchess@ChessbaseIndia They should get on with playing chess. Complaining here on, insulting an entire chess loving country like Uzbekistan and blaming entire organisations and people working in them just because they couldn’t provide 5 hotel rooms on time sound super cheap and petty.
@warrior_indian9@viditchess@ChessbaseIndia Because Uzbekistan is a strong favourite this time and India making excuses now would protect against criticism. Indians can always say they played poor chess because hotel rooms weren’t available.
They should get on with this and focus on playing good chess
The phase3 revised list is finally out including Chennai. We take this moment to thank @shekarsugadev. Sir, we thank you for your support over these days. You're worthy of respect and admiration. On behalf of all the stranded Tamilians in UK, a big thanks to you Sir. 🙏
There are millions of Indians standard across countries. 1000s of them are desperate to come back to india due to various reasons including job loss, health and family. Please resume international flights immediately...
