When he has obvious drawing scenarios he definitely takes the draw but he is very rarely the guy going into a game thinking, I'm just going to draw and maintain rating. He goes all in. If he played more consistently he'd probably be the highest rated player ever, but you see him taking hanging pawn structures against Levon Aronian for example, constantly switching up his repertoire, trying anything and everything to play for the win even if it's difficult or requires him to do extra work. Fabiano Caruana may very well be the greatest player of all time? He's definitely worthy of mention along with Vladimir Kramnik and other World Champions. The only thing he needs is the World Championship Title and no doubt he's in the Hall of Fame

Alireza and Hikaru at their best at tactical monsters. I mean, hell, Duda is 24th in rankings and at his best he also crushes Magnus. Still outside of Magnus, who is still GOAT, I think it fair to put Fabi, Nepo, and Ding in the next spots atm.

I clearly lack the memory necessary to be a great chess player. These guys have committed thousands of piece combinations and sequences to memory and can tell you which ones they played and which ones were played against them in the third game of a specific tournament back in 2011, and explain what the key move was in the game and why. No wonder they can play while wearing blindfolds. As for me, when I was in college and went home for Christmas break, when I returned to school I'd forgotten my roommate's name. I'm lucky I can remember how a knight moves. :)
Being able to appreciate why these greats are great is in itself an accomplishment and first step on the journey to be great. I'm known for my memory in my little circles as I can play blind-folded (and even win against beginners) but obviously nothing compared to good players.

Good game for Fabi. Great comment 'honing in like a hawk'. I still can't find the trick at 4:48 when Magnus could take the d7 knight but takes the pawn on b3 instead. That knight was unguarded and a clean claim it looked to me. I don't see the consequence of winning that piece from Fabi. Help??
In this position it is black to move, I see the white knight on d-7 as fallen fruit for the black b6 knight. What is the consequence if Magnus had taken it instead of the available pawn.? Fabi then hasn't a threat as I see it. (Horse-Blinds).
I've played countless games where this type of strategy went down and I committed a small inaccuracy that led to some type of passed pawn and played the entire almost thirty minutes. Lololol

#suggestion Hey! Could you cover the game below? I think it includes one of the most interesting checkmates ever. While white was winning after 33...c6??, the game is a draw again after 59. Kf4. However, it is much more difficult for black, who has to find the only good moves. Black does so in an impressive fashion, I think, at least for a while. The crucial moment is after 75. Kg5, when ...Ne3 would have drawn the game. However, black captures, and 75...Nxf6 is a forced mate for white. The game actually ended in a mate with K+N against K+P a few moves later -- the only time that such a mate has ever been seen in tournament chess. Here's the full game (GM Nogueiras v. Gongora, at the 2001 Cuban Championship): 1. c4 e5 2. Nc3 d6 3. d4 exd4 4. Qxd4 Nc6 5. Qd1 g6 6. e4 Bg7 7. Bd3 Nf6 8. Nge2 Ng4 9. f3 Nge5 10. O-O Be6 11. b3 Nxd3 12. Qxd3 Qd7 13. Bb2 O-O-O 14.

Great man knows when he's down
It's fine. I'm rooting for Fabi since childhood.
Magnus resigning so early just goes to show how many variations he must ve seen . I know it's pretty normal by his standards but magnus always fascinates me . Fabi as usual fine like a surgeon
Show gukesh vs firouza....
I wonder how long Fabi held this prep to use on Magnus?
Can't even remember, when did fabi deafeat magnus last time. I'm sure it was before their championship match.
2015 Norway was the last time he beat magnus in a classical game. Interestingly enough it was actually in a Berlin endgame.
@@davidtrottier7066 took him 8 years to defeat magnus. Wow
Caruana must be over the moon today
When I saw the title I thought oh yeah Magnus doing what Magnus does. But then wait, what's this???
show gukesh vs alireza
Magnus wiped the floor with this nerd,hold my beer.
Love love LOVE fabi beating carlson
4:46: Can black just take the white knight on d7?
i don't get it as well bro
Yes, but then blacks knight on D5 would be hanging
Lower on time means spent more time thinking.
4:45 why not knight takes knight D7
Please do magnus vs hikaru 🙏🏼
Magnus been bad for a long time now. Shocking.
