  1. Why not speaking in Russian with English subtitles??? What is that? 2 russians are talking in English lol ??

  2. I can't stress enough how much Dina contributes to livening up chess coverage

  3. he is on his way becoming Grischuk disciple

  4. good things about Dubov that he is honest, transparent , practical & self critical.

  5. "It seems you are a decent chess player indeed" lmao

  6. Awesome video! 👀 if you get some time I just dropped new content too bro 💯 keep growing your channel.

  7. Such an intelligent dude. His take on defining "retired" as (literally) not caring anymore is spot on.

  8. The most entertaining Super Grandmaster of this generation!
    Modern day Mikhail Tal

  9. Two Russians having a conversation in English tells me whose’s big fish, and where world power relinquish

  10. Dina is proof that sometimes looks and wits go together ..incredibly sexy

  11. Can someone knowledgeable please comment on body language? I don't think I've ever seen that sitting stance from Dubov.

  12. Recién encuentro esta joya, gracias por subirla!

  13. Not surprised that Daniil Cuckov has a bad relationship with his father. His attitude now makes sense

  14. Although you could open up a can of tuna with Dubov's nose. He seems like a cool cat and quite good with the ladies. I hope I can have a nice beer or whisky with him one day.
