You can still ask questions using the #question. I saw players already answered some of your questions in the interviews :)

An excellent game, especially by MVL! Thanks for uploading and I hope there's more to come!

Maxime and Anand have played very interesting games in the Sicilian against each other.

MVL alpha zeroes Anand's light square bishop. :D

8:32 d5 was much more active move for Anand rather Rc7. A rook is being engaged to defend d7 pawn thereby locking out everything for black.

The game ended because he could pick up the d-pawn as well. The only way to stop this is Ke7, which would allow forking the rook with the knight on d5. At least that's what I saw that I assumed he resigned for

#Question to Magnus Carlsen: Fabiano is coming for your title, what are your thoughts defending your title against him?

Author — @johnpedraza629

Author

#question to Magnus Carlsen, do you think Fabiano Caruana will be your toughest match to defend your title against? Tougher than Anand and Karjakin?

Author — @voideg3659

Author

#question What would Carlsen and Fabiano prefer playing with the sicilian the dragon or the Najdorf??

Author — @T-Krash

Author

#question Anand, what were you thinking using Sicilian against a Sicilian player?

#suggestion Hi agadmator, Arnold Schwarzenegger was recently here in Australia, and he said in an interview that he plays chess everyday to keep his mind sharp and active. For fun, can you find one of his games and show it? Cheers, Go Tal!

How do people qualify for candidates? Love your videos man keep it up

#question How much is age factor in chess success? Is Anand still a force to reckon in classical chess?

Author — @thakursumit29

Author

At 5:34, what happens if black goes pawn e6 to e5 kicking away the central knight. The night has to b3, i think.

The game between matthias bluebaum and Nikita vitiugov in grenke chess is very interesting can you show it

MVL grilled Anand in this game like chicken tandoori

Author — @tadashiokazaki951

Why didn't Anand exchange the pair of rooks? Wouldn't he have improved his position that way?

Author — @iwersonsch5131

Hello Agadmator can you please explain how it is losing for Black after Knight F6 Move
