  • It's a English as a second language thing. I have similar tendencies, though I think I'm a little more fluent than most of them... you need more time to think because English isn't your native language, and you don't know as many ways to bid for time, so you end up repeating ok? ok? ok? Also one is sort of asking the interviewer to keep nodding as long as you are still understandable, because you're not always sure if your English is good or not.

  • It`s like a positive way of putting things.

    "Ok" (I have know the position you are asking me, in my head);

    "Ok" (This is the solution i saw in the game);

    etc, etc.

  • he missed one "OK" @1:10

  • guys, u ve gotta be genious like them in order to understand their manners of talking :)

  • Some Russian-speaking peoples use "tak," a verbal pause while they are thinking of what to say.

    His use of the phrase, "ok," reminded me much of the expression "tak."

  • 'ok' has become a fairly standard international word at this point... the French use it, the Spanish use it, I believe the Germans use it... And it is easier to appropriate a word you already know than try to learn a different one.

  • ok...but why do they  all use "OK"? one could use "sure" or " IC" or " eventually" or wathever...but ALL "OK"?

  • Kramnik interview! Ok.Ok.but,Ok. Russian thing?

  • Whats that thing with chessplayers using the stopword "ok" over and over??? they ALL do that....weird.
