It's already been more than half a decade, and I have always been rooting for you in every game and every tournament you play Fabi.
@@Fabiispedo wtf r u saying
❤❤❤
To be a fan of both Fabiano, and Nepo, made the last round incredibly exciting. Draw was an absolutely heartbreaking result for both, but as a fan, this was the best tournament I've ever seen. Thank you for your efforts
I don't know what being a fan of Nepo means, he plays uninspiring chess and most likeliest outcome of his games is a draw.
@@notsoeloquentWait until you learn that the most likely outcome for any 2700+ player is BY FAR a draw 😱😨
@@notsoeloquent except for the last two candidates where he won the most games of anyone.
@@notsoeloquentcrazy how literally 70% of the games are draws in every tournament. Also, have you ever seen a Nepo game? He plays very exciting chess, maybe not like Firouzja does for example but no one plays as creative/aggressive as Firouzja or Rapport or Dubov you know.
@@gus8696please don’t compare Nepo with Dubov, Rapport and Alireza. Nepo in every other tournament except Candidates plays conventional chess (not dull). The reason is when you 2750+ people expect you to be inventive. Players like Nodirbek or Parham or Keymer or Vidit (recently) have gained audience because they play different lines. Offcourse no one can be as crazy as Alireza, Rapport or Dubov in a good way but still.
We love you Fabi! You’ll be back
He will never be back. A champion is always learning. He learns neither from his failure nor from his success.
@@rathinaveluthiruvenkatam6203Calm down dude ! you’re being so rude
@@rathinaveluthiruvenkatam6203your statement is kind of like an oxymoron a paradox of sorts
Fabi is so smart and thoughtful .. it is amazing to hear him talk
He is a thoughtful speaker articulate
Thank y'all for this, I've been a fan for quite a while and deeply appreciate everything you guys do.
Thanks, Fabi, I imagine it is tough to go thorugh this again, but we your fans sure appreciate it
Fabi and Christian completely won me over, starting with the Champions Tour in Toronto not long ago. I've been a huge fan ever since and the constant good naturedness of both players, as wellas their openness has been really enjoyable. What a heartbreaking draw but Nepo deserves an incrdible amount of respect for his poise and resiliance.
Cristian Chirila is such a great coach, shows compassion and empathize with his trainee
Fabi has the most soothing manner and voice. He should be my psychologist.
He needs a psychologist.
He is to busy making good moves and planning revenge on gukesh.
Too bad
@@christofferore6285I doubt he even looks at the situation like that for him it’s probably ok what comes next and take it from there
@@michaelmassaro4375 I think he will go for the wc next time untill he gets it or gets too old. He is always working hard and gukesh might win against ding and then caruana defently wants revenge. Mby he dont see it that way but he still would want to be WC and gukesh is one of his rivals just as everyone else. Only Magnus says he has no rivals and its almost true
We still love you as much as ever Fabi! Felt your heartbreak, but are your fans still.
Where did you get this from?
@@Fabiispedo Never heard of this before, do you have any source to this, or are you just throwing blatant accusations for the sake of it? Edit: Saw the reddit post, I think it serves no one well to speculate in the comments, hence why they keep getting deleted.
Never mind the slander, Fabi is still dee best
@@illinnear7233it seems his comment was deleted I’ve seen several responding to him but his comment is gone
Hi Fabi, I just wanted to say you were the reason I got into chess. More than the magic you have produced on the board, it was the way you conducted yourself outside those 64 squares that resonated with me deeply. The manner in which you handle pressure and disappointment with the same poise and respect you would show in a victory is inspiring. I hope you continue to inspire and raise the bar for what it takes to be a professional , and hope you bounce back stronger at the next candidates, rooting for you all the way! Cheers from India
Same here
Thanks for opening up! I m always rooting for both, Fabi and Nepo (and I really enjoyed watching the last game!!)... Thanks Fabi for staying a legend and wish you a quick recovery!!
I was waiting for this episode 👏
My fault😢
What a way to open the episode
01:24:54 Arjun is my guy 😅🤍, in their old podcast videos about Indian prodigies, he ranked Arjun top of the list and he still is his fav.
Must’ve been tough watching Nordibek win the Tepe Sigeman tournament
Thanks for the pod, Cristian and Fabi!
Such a cool conversation. It feels like this would be hard to talk about but hopefully it can be cathartic for you. Thank you for doing this for chess fans, the insight is incredible
great insights! really appreciate this!
Alireza 's style reminds me of Vassily Ivanchuk, with the same brilliance and with the same unexplicable crashes.
💯 definitely he is next Ivan Chuck.
@@Rareme530 Chucky was passionate tho . Loved and worked hard on chess. ALireza look like he doesn't care and its a side job or a hobby for him.
@sushinfudoshin8991 for me alireza looked like topalov .. both of them have lots of fighting spirit.
@@rambo2667I’m sure he’s put work in to be as good as he is didn’t have a good candidates but he’s young yet and has already accomplished a lot
Fabi is my fave super GM. He seems like the most calm super GM and explains things very well
He is very articulate I think his goal is to be World Champion and Best player in world otherwise he’d probably make a great career as a You Tuber with his own program
Fabi is the most interessting sportsman to listen, period. It is almost spiritual...
Wow, two hours of great content awaits us! Looking forward to it. Fabi - it’s been a pleasure watching your games in the Candidates, I’m sure you will be able to come back in the upcoming cycles. Cheers!
Enjoyed your recent interview with Danya, Greg!
@@gautam-narula Thanks! I have one with Fabi as well, but you probably have seen it already
Amazing episode, guys! My heart broke for Fabi in the last game. Lots of love and support!
So sad for Fabi and Hikaru. They both need a world championship to become legends. They are already historical greats
Good players, but not great until they are world champions.
Caruana had his chances to tie for first. He failed to capitalise on his chances.
@@higherbeingX caruanna is great and close to legend status
@@higherbeingXI don’t think that’s necessarily true if there were a hall of fame for Chess players Fabi and Hikaru are shoo ins the candidates and ensuing World Championship even Magnus feels the status it gives is overrated and doesn’t automatically make the Champion the Best player in world
@@michaelmassaro4375 hikaru will be remembered as a famous streamer maybe or will be recognized for his pre moves and bullet skills , but why tf will someone remember fabiano? i am not judging him based on skills , he will always be the #2 chess player of this era but with no classical title ................... even now people remembers legends like karpov , kasparov , fisher , vishy etc but thats it some may remember alekhine , tal for the name in the opening or brilliant games but no one remembers player like caruana
still so sad for Fabi, you can tell how much it means to him and he is such an exciting player to watch. I hope he comes back to win in 2 years time. Many thanks for the insights too, amazing to listen to
Fabi - you are a gem of the chess world. Exceptionally balanced in your analysis and conclusions coming from such deep care. You are a great player, will be a great administrator, coach and absolutely wonderful human being.
Great insights! Thank you for the awesome content and the best wishes.
Was awaiting this episode for quite some time. Fascinating thoughts from Fabi!
Great summary, straight forward to the points, thank you masters!
The discussion about closed vs open tournaments is very interesting. I agree with Fabi that people mostly use this as un excuse to justify poor performance or criticize players they don't like. That being said, the Elo system only gives meaningful ratings if there is a single pool of players. If there are multiple pools, as in if there are a top x number of players who only play each other and never play anyone else, then their ratings demonstrate their strength relative to each other and not the general population. An extreme example of this was Claude Bloodgood, who achieved an extremely high rating by organizing his own closed pool of participants.
Agreed. Also to do differential analysis, the FIDE circuit qualification is one spot. So, instead of lets say the fourth place from a world cup qualifying, you have this. A player performing consistently well in Open tournaments qualifies. Nothing changes.
Is Bloodgood the guy who got to like 26 or 2700 in prison?
Great recap! Thanks for all the inside perspective.
Thank you both, Fabi and Cristian, for such an amazing podcast, as usual!!
Thanks Fabi for your insights. Is a very interesting video.
Great video. Thanks to both
I like about your guys that you don’t rush making content right after. Giving yourself time to reflect or to rest
def love this show, its an important episode in the chess world if you like to keep up
Even though I was pleased to see Gukesh win, it was bittersweet because of Fabi's loss. It is very easy to root for Fabi as he seems to be a true gentleman of the game and conducts himself well all while being incredibly strong. Hope to see you in the next match.
Huh? @@notyourbusiness4011
@@notyourbusiness4011 what are u saying ?
@@notyourbusiness4011how do you know that?
@@notyourbusiness4011 fabi dated 17 yr old ??
How you know that
17 yr still fine though she isn't 14 so it's fine 😂😂
@@notyourbusiness4011the only thing I found that too on reddit was a Twitter dm screenshot that looks like a girl has sent to another girl. Only there is sth concrete we should not accuse. I learnt that from many cases that happened in my country and one happened with a very famous cricketer by his wife and in another highlighted case an innocent yojng boy had to spend 4 yrs fighting his case whereas even after case was proved to be false girl escaped easily by moving to Canada. There are many other such cases
You are our inspiration fabi! Continue being the machine that you are!
Was waiting for this, I'm your big fan from norway fabi
Imagine when Fabiano and Nepo realize it’s a draw they start making blunders on purpose like “You deserve it more than me”. Could be an Oscar winning drama
Good one. Good luck for future tournaments Fabi 👍.
Love this guy
This is one of the best podcasts
I really enjoyed watching the candidates tournament. Thank you for providing this fascinating insight and for being so generous with your time.
Thanks!
Fabi I am sure thst was heart breaking for you in ways normal people can't comprehend, but I just want to say that so many people out there appreciate your fightijg spirit so much and that we're proud of you
Excellent content
Fabi is a class act
Fantastic breakdown! I wish you the best Fabi.
thank you for all the inserts of the boards/positions. This helps so much!
❤ Fabi! My heart broke for you with the outcome of the last game, and I know it's little consolation, but what an amazing game to watch!
😢
The whole chess world is rooting for you get them next candidates
Him and hikarus clocks are ticking. The youngsters are only getting stronger as the veterans have already peaked. Their chances are dwindling. Hikarus best opportunity was this year. Fabi still has a chance. But if these guys are getting schooled by guys half their age, the odds only get tougher.
@@Wargasm54 They aren't getting schooled tho. This was incredibly close and there are so many incredibly different ways this turns out. There really isn't a chess playter that is dominating. Gukesh played the best but it's hard to call him head and shoulders above everyone
@@luciddoggo5094 Gukesh schooled them with his composure.
Please make full a podcast on your opinion and a guest's opinion (if possible)on qualifying paths to the candidates now and what it should be.❤
Fabi is unarguably one of the best to every play the game but to top that has the best attitude in spite being the player he is.
I watched the game live. I screamed at the screen, threw pillows, and felt the miss. I can't even imagine how you felt Fabiano. Really I don't have the temperament. I would have to go to the gym and burn my frustrations.
Same here((
Yeah, it was such a pain
Love you guys! Thanks for the amazing two hours!
I discovered I was rooting for Fabiano by the end of the tourney. I had no clear favorite, but I was gutted at the end. Come back stronger than ever, Fabi!
Love you fabi ❤
Vidit starts at 44:30
no timestamp for him yet
Fabi will be among one of the best in future for sure
I like watching your games. Keep fighting Fabi. You are an inspiration to many.
Hello. Do you plan to deliver merch to Kazakhstan in the future?
Really nice of Fabi to do this. This is a must watch.
I have rooted for fabi against carlsen in 2018 and would like to see fabi world champion
Here a probability analysis of the key players for winning the event after the few remaining rounds:
after round: 10 11 12 13
Ian: 28.59% 47.28% 30.04% 11.11%
Hikaru: 13.53% 23.63% 32.65% 22.22%
Fabiano: 13.82% 7.48% 8.37% 11.11%
Gukesh: 27.09% 19.53% 28.94% 55.56%
The analysis includes all cases with tie breaks, and assumes equal chances of winning the tie breaks for those moving on into tie breaks.
you got the next one Fabi!
I can listen to fabi 24x7 ❤❤
Fabiano, I love you, you are an inspirtation! I am rooting for you to be happy first of all.
still rooting for fabi to get the #1 rating spot soon
Good interview. Can't wait for the World Championship match. Hope to see Ding at his best, but to be realistic, he will likely continue his current trend, and consequently, we will see a new world champion in Gukesh!
I found the candidates incredibly exciting. Everyone was taking chances rather than lifeless draws. I am very happy for Gukesh but also really felt for Fabi and Ian, as some part of me wanted them to be at the top. I completely agree with Fabi's arguments regarding the rating points, as rating should be evaluated on the difference in the strength of players you play rather than the amount of open tournaments you win.
I haven't watched this but v glad to have fabi and the c squared pod back... ngl was a bit concerned for fabi!
I just remembered it again😫
You the GOAT Fabi.
welcome back!
We love you Fabi! Never give up
It was the most exciting tournament I've seen. I was almost certain that Caruana would win the last game after a big advantage:
After move 24: +2.7
After move 28: +2.9
After move 29: +3.0
After move 32: +3.6
After move 37: +3.9
After move 62: +4.4
Fabi thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. Such great content
As it happens often Fabi has a very rational approach. Yes you can game the ElO system, you cna enter invitation tournaments and play for draws until you reach some level, or you can go and play against a bunch of weak players, but both strategies will help you so far. By nature, it will lead to a ceiling. Anything we know of can be tampered with. Even so it seems that by far Fabi's proposal is the best we have. Perfect is the enemy of good, and keeping the awful way because the other good proposals are not perfect is nonsense.
Legend
44:29 Vidit
To be this open with everyone after the Candidates speaks very favorably about you, Fabi. You are a great chess ambassador. More power to you.
So happy you are back! Candidates sucked results-wise, but we all enjoyed it so much and will keep rooting for you always. You are amazing the both of you. Keep up the good work❤
Really interesting to hear Fabi's views here. One thing though that I'm increasingly finding hard to understand is the concept that if it went to tie-breaks then Fabi or Nepo would be "favourites". Only in the sense of Elo rating though, which was built up in the past. The fact is though, at the point of tie-breaks we've just had 14 rounds between the eight candidates. Unless you've been comprehensively beaten by your tie-break opponent, within those 14 rounds, there is no favourite.
This is peak chess content
That "my fault" will always hit hard ❤👍
Gukesh played so consistently throughout the candidates was a key difference between him and others that had a possible chance to win in that last round it was an exciting event I think the moral for the other players will be do not wait until the last rounds to go for wins maybe take more chances early on the draws did not cut it
does anyone know why Norway Chess is part of the 2024 FIDE circuit? Wikipedia says that it will feature 6 players but I thought to be part of the 2024 FIDE circuit you had to feature at least 8 players?
Before even watching, I want to say commiserations, was rooting hard for Fabi throughout... it was a valiant fight back from a point behind with a few rounds to go!
Ding could play to force tiebreaks because I think he is a bigger favorite in Rapid and even bigger in blitz
Magnus and Vishy were pretty conservative in their defences. ig Gukesh and Ding are too agressive for tiebreaks.
It was a valid rant...
dropped a like before I even started!
This video has already been out for a week and I still haven't watched it. I was rooting so hard for Fabi, I'm basically still in mourning. I haven't hurt like this since the Pats lost in 07 😢
Hi Fabi, I was never the biggest chess fan in the world, but do like to keep up with what is going on in the big tournaments - particularly the world championship. Doing so in 2021 and listening to your commentary is what made me take a greater interest in the game and your career in particular.
Irrespective of what you achieve going forward in the game (and I believe the sky is still your limit), I just want to say that the way you carry yourself is inspirational. You always present as a calm, approachable and consummate professional, and I find myself thinking of things I have heard from you through my day to day.
Since becoming a fan of yours, I have befallen some hard times in my life, but looking at the example and attitude set by you (and Alexander Volkanovski) in the face of hardship has helped me process my difficulties and move forward in a productive way every time. Thank you so much Fabiano, you are a great man
I’m glad they touched on Erigaisi and Abusotarov in this podcast
Time?
Was a tough tourney for fabi, yet he was still competing for the spot at the end. Just too many missed opportunities left on the table. Had a feeling it would end up a battle between Nepo and gukesh in the end.
Gukesh really was the best player at the event this time around. Solid play in every round. He definitely deserves to face ding!
He didn’t beat anyone in the top 4
@@spcarroll85 Cry more.
@@spcarroll85they didn't beat him either 😂 🤡 👍
First, Congratulations for a very good performance in candidates.
Now, "THE JOURNEY CONTINUES".
And second,
I agree with Fabiano.......
Candidates should be selected from rating list, with 6 months/1year avg rating being considered and minimum 50 games or so.
The tournaments should be registered with Fide before 3 months of being organised, to avoid players organising last moment tournament.
if they do so then the rating gains in that particular tournament should not be considered while considering candidates selection.
I like the idea to use rating for candidate spots. Why not give 4 spots for highest average rating over 1 year. For the other 4 spots invite the next 12 or so contenders to play a round-robin tournament with the first 4 places advancing. So many other sports have very successfully used a play-in stage before big tournaments. If you want to argue that someone #18 in the world by rating (or below) should definitely be in the candidates, good luck with your argument. And if you don't like the historical impact on rating, use rating performance over the last 50 games or so.
Fabi fan here, speaking from a ton of respect... but, I would like to see you guys discussing in depth what Fabi can do to improve his game even more. Is it just a matter of "luck" to win the candidates again?
Fabi 💪🏻💪🏻
