Magnus Carlsen and Vishy Anand to play Card Chess?!

When Samay Raina got Magnus Carlsen to his channel on 2nd of September 2020, the world was amazed! The well- known Indian stand-up comedian could not outdo this feat, right? Well, think again! The 22-year-old just outdid that achievement! And instead of one world champion on a stream, Samay has managed to bring two World Champions together! Magnus Carlsen and Vishy Anand will be together on 18th of September 2020 at 18.30 hours IST on Samay Raina's YouTube channel. And guess that variant of chess that they would be playing? Card chess! A variant that Magnus will introduce to the world today! 

On 18th of September 2020 Samay has invited both the 15th and 16th World Champions to his stream! Also joining in would be India no.3 Vidit Gujrathi and well-known stand-up comedian Abhishek Upmanyu. 

The two World Champions will be joined by Vidit and Abhishek Upmanyu. Says Samay, "I have planned two fun variants. First Magnus will team up with Upmanyu and I will be joined by Vidit to play hand and brain chess. Next up will be card chess with Anand and Carlsen. When we began streaming chess me, Upmanyu, Biswa and Vaibhav had made a group called 'Road to Magnus Carlsen'. Last time when Magnus came on stream Biswa and Vaibhav met him and played with him. Upmanyu was busy and so he joins in this time! All four of us would then have completed the road to Magnus Carlsen!

How does Samay manage to pull up such fun streams together? "It's all the result of streams that we all have done. The channel now has credibility and people don't hesitate to join. I just reach out to people and because of so many streams we have done together, people know about me and they love the content and they want to be a part of it."
