Episode notes

Traveling nonstop for eleven months, walking eight days by the Narmada River with no phone or money — this is a small part of Sagar Shah’s journey.

In this talk with GM Avetik, he speaks about the books that opened new paths for him, the balance between love and discipline, and Magnus Carlsen’s unique approach.

He also shares how ChessBase India became a spiritual journey, why he created the Temple of Chess, and how the HelpChess Trust is helping young, talented chess players.

It is a personal and spiritual conversation with deep reflections on growth, meaning, and living fully.
