I'm amazed that there are no comments on this. Great interview, more of a chat really, which is better. Mr Svidler is a complete legend and his commentary with JG is tremendous, it appears that they are casualties of the Chess.com world takeover.

Always a pleasure to listen to Svidler talk. His command of English word usage and slang always astonishes me. Disappointed though to hear no Tom Waits references.
