I liked the interview. I don't know if it was too long: I was treating it more as entertainment than information, so I really have no criticism, including the time. I think I was mainly looking for a chance to know more about the guy's personality: I wish you'd've asked him a question or two about his other interests. As for specific things I could pick up, I was really uplifted to hear the usefulness of "casual" gameplay practice. :)

Do guys think the interview was too long? I think in the future we are going to try to try to keep the interviews down to about 15 minutes.

Did you guys like the questions? Please respond with feedback, thanks!

@OnlineChessLessons I don't think a lot of people can identify with a teenager who reached the GM Norm BEFORE reaching puberty. Liked the interview but don't think i learned anything 'new'. We might learn more if you interview GMs who are less than prodigies

@YtubeUserr Check out my upcoming interview w/ Efstratios Grivas who become a GM at 27 yrs old.

@OnlineChessLessons looking forward to that!

Fantastic! Really great interview, thanks for this scoop- Good focus on questions specifically what Giri did to help him get to the top level.

Very nice interview! How did you contact him?

[OnlineChessLessons]

@Fupper16 Read the description for your answer.

@OnlineChessLessons Sorry, but it doesn't tell me ... HOW exactly did you "catch up with him"?

[OnlineChessLessons]

@Fupper16 We caught up with his agent, who agreed to get us in touch with his personal Skype account. The fact that he posted some of our analyses on his site helped our cause a lot. Also, a pattern I've particularly noticed running my site is that younger and female titled players are much more willing to talk and help out then the older guns ...

i hate how there's no grandmasters that just tell you what aims you should be doing, or what u should be seeing to be above average or par. what difference would it make to them?

@RC97062 practice every day
