I like Nepo's Russian😣
Giri looks sick
KING DING!!!
Can't help but noticing, nobody mentioned chess books: Tal, Karpov, Larsen… Pity!
Aronian has EXCELLENT taste 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Big deal. Danny Rensch has read the complete Mr. Men series twice.
12 rules for life. Anyone?
2:31 This guy gets it
Yes Giri reads Dostoyevsky
What did ding say
Nepo brings two Nabokov's books, one of them must be Lolita
The book of " Ang Alamat ng Burat mo"
"Ang Alamat ng pepeng Nilamat"
Maganda basahin.. .. " Kapag ang palay, naging bigas. May bumayo
Nepo and Levon are the only two who are serious about reading.
Just let Ding speak Chinese so we will know what are his really favourite books
It's a crime to not ask this question to Peter Svidler.
Giri dares to read dostoevsky
2:57 Meu GM aí, me representa kkkk
– I dont read much
– Mekhitarian .K S
Olha O Krikor Aí
Very good idea to ask such a question, however, the question is clearly not properly formulated. As a result, most of the answers are not giving concrete examples. I suggest you should at the least ask for an example of a book or an author.
2:57 what does Krigor say after "few"?
nobody said "youtube comments"
who chose to put the subtitles in comic sans???????
Is the "Platonov" Aronian was mentioning a russian name for Plato?
they're just plain dumbasses
they just read self motivational idiotic stuff
Was not expecting Ding to be a Raymond Carver fan. He’s an excellent writer and my favorite short story writer, but I would’ve guessed Ding to be more of a non-fiction type.
3:03 meu mestre favorito
Glad to see Terry Pratchett cropping up more than once 🙂
I thought Giri's mother tongue WAS Dutch! What's his mother tongue then? anybody know?
You should put subtitles to Translate ding as well
Why did I think Ding Liren would say his favorite author is Mao Zedong
2:57 meu GM
So Carlsen doesnt read? xD
Bruh why are the subtitles in comic sans gag
Why some are welcomed to use their mother tongues and others aren't.
Comic sans. Disgusting.
Why only russians speak russian
So Nepo can speak Russian when he is very clearly much more comfortable in English than Ding, but Ding cant speak in Chinese?
So, noone gonna talk that the only one that doenst read anything is the one is african.
A lot of chess players said they love reading novels or fiction. But Vidit didn't. I am not being critical here but I almost knew he would say self help or autobiographies. It wasn't surprising. We indians lack the knack for reading good literature. When we choose a book to read, it's usually something we think would be of use to us – whether it will inspire me, improve my mind, teach me secret life lessons etc. It's a very transactional mindset. We fail to appreciate art, narratives and beauty for their own sake. Ofcourse there are many exceptions. But after moving to America and working as an Literature instructor at a college I can tell the difference. Most young people in India read far less literary fiction than young Americans and Europeans. It needs to change.
We gotta keep in mind outside of chess, they’re just normal people
Which book or author did Ding say? I couldn't understand.
Ayy Ding likes Raymond Carver! Love it
Hypermodern chess, alekhine and my sistem, nimzovicht
Ding likes Raymond Carver, nice!
I wish in this kind of interviews they would let Ding talk in Chinese and then add subtitles, he's always limited in his answers because he isn't very fluent in english.
indian accent is the cleanest and most easily understandable
