I see that a lot of people dont get how strong is Fabiano. He si precise like an engine and his preparation is fantastic.

If there was no Magnus, that guy would be champion for years.

Antonio could have 50 Million subscribers and he'd still be this modest guy explaining chess to you like he does to his friends at the bar and the library.
I watched the live stream of this game. It's funny, the two main commentators kept talking about how Fabiano was down 3 pawns and could be in trouble. When Magnus finally arrived (right around that Bb4 move) his immediate reaction was that he knew that Fabiano was deeply prepared using the strongest AI and that MVL was in bigggg trouble. Of course the champion was correct. Beautiful play by Fabiano!
Fabi sacrificed 3 Pawns and a Bishop in Opening i.e. he was down 6 points and in the endgame, he was exchange up by 2 points....he made MVL Lose 8 points in the mid game...Simply Breathtaking from Fabi. Sagar Shah rightly said in his stream, Fabi is a SILENT KILLER...WHAT A GAME !!!
I just checked on chess 24 RUclips channel that magnus is still playing the young guns of the challenger tour after 6 hrs of commentary ... And everyone knows the young guns are also GM's or IM... Hats off to magnus
Exactly that's why I'm so excited about OTG chess.You don't get to see those high quality game in online, bullet chess games packed with horrific blunders
Everyone: Fabi just memorizes the first 20 book moves and then wins after getting an advantage Fabi: proceeds to win a tablebase draw against a super-GM with an engine like accuracy
People don't give him enough credit because of his amazing preparation. 20 moves of preparation and another 50 perfect moves by himself. He won because he's a almost a machine
I was literally dreaded watching this. Especially the endgame. Imagine 5 straight hours of this, under the judgement of the whole world of chess people and not really chess people. And what an impressive prep from Fabi.
12:13 "this is the first move where Fabi actually started thinking." I was mindblown and suffered under schizophrenia, dementia and a bipolar disorder on move 18
@@shivgautam487 Chess has been solved up to 7 pieces. So if there are 7 or less pieces on the board (i.e. an endgame), there's a computer line in a database that garuntees a win, lose, or draw. All these computer lines form what's known as the "endgame tablebase."
This was an amazing game to watch it live. For those who say that high level chess is not enjoyable: i could only imagine being in the same position that Maxime was and yet still felt a huge amount of pressure watching it. If someone told me years ago that a game of chess that I'm not playing could make me feel that way.. Thanks Antonio!
I would've definitely crumbled with all those pieces around my king and 0 development. Respect for MVL for even making it look like it would end in a draw.
I still think the only people who could currently challenge Magnus in a championship match are Nepo, Listen, and Radjabov, but I hope Fabi proves me wrong!
Yeah. Magnus also pointed out that in this 2nd round Maxime is playing Fabiano and Ding as black. Which is not so desirable considering the time Fabi went away preparing and Ding didn't participate Magnus tour in the latter part
My 11-yr old son was watching this game in chess24 live yesterday. He was really frustrated as the game went on for a long time and he could not exactly understand the commentary. After nearly 2 hours, he gave up and said 'Let me watch this game in Agadmator channel where he would make me understand every aspect'. Well, he is a big fan of your channel & narration and pl keep continuing your good work !
I started to watch the live feed over my lunch break and checked it regularly during the afternoon. 6 hours later they were still playing... insane game. The commentators said that MVL would have been better off by keeping his bishop but that was a hell of a game anyway! Thanks agad for the video.
It took me almost three years to get use to your voice, now I can easily listen to you. It makes a difference in watching these. I am glad I kept it up.
Pretty bonkers that after so much violence in the poisoned pawn variation you end up with a grinding endgame that requires absolute precision. Chess is amazing.
Just some extra information for the friends at the bar and in the library: Rustam Kasimjanov(Fabis second) joined the german stream yesterday for 5 minutes (he often comentates there as he speaks quite fluently german) to give some insights to this line. He said they have prepared c3 originally for Wijk aan Zee, but they thought its to strong for Wijk, so Fabi played Be2 in Wijk and also won the game. Rustam also said, that they didn't belive Maxime is able to find all moves, but Maxime seemed to do it. But instead of Ne4 Maxime should have gone Ra7, to save the rook, even though it's quite passive. After Ne4, Rustam said there is a bit of hope, that Fabi can win it, even though it was still a difficlut game. Rustam also mentioned that if black finds all moves white has to fight for a draw. Fabi took high risk and got rewarded for it. What a game and what a preparation! Awesome stuff.
Thanks for also giving us the background news around the match regarding the standings etc. I dont follow the chess news actively so this contextual information realy helps! Keep up the good work.
Antonio, I was watching live the game listening to Magnus and David comments... So much respect for Fabiano Caruana because he converted extremely complicated end game to win. Magnius, David and Tanya could not find in the studionthe winning sequence of moves.I never seen Magnus that confused.... MvL defended perfectly but Fabiano performance was close to 3000, spectacular end game....
This has to be one of my favourite games from the Candidates so far. Such an intense game, and Fabi looks like he has good chances to face Magnus again!
"if you can't use an engine, why not memorize all of the engine moves" fabi had everything memorized up to turn 25, absolutely insane game. what a legend
10:50 "You can go to Knight to F6, but who does this?" ANSWER ; Stockfish 12 does and gives Black an advantage of 0.55 points.

I feel like I see Maxime lose so many games in the Najdorf. Sure, I don't see all the games and tournaments MVL plays in, he has to have good reason for playing it so often, but I just feel like I see him lose in his pet line so much. Then you're going to go against Fabi, who expects you to play a Najdorf, and even further the poisoned pawn variation, and then will just force you to play against a supercomputer for 30+ moves. I get that hindsight is 20-20, but it just seems like a terrible idea to even let yourself go down this path.

"Got him right where I want him."

I watched this live, it was so intense. Fabi is insane, he played like AlphaZero. And MVL defended like stockfish. Insane game!
It is because they were the same glasses
Just an addendum, Stockfish 13 NNUE+ is probably way stronger than AlphaZero considering it’s better than LeelaChessZero
i was waiting for you uploading this game 😍😍
