Seems like Fabi has been working a lot on his blitz since last year. He did pretty good in the recent SCC as well.
he's ready to challenge Magnus one more time after the shameful 2021 WCC match
@@mukyumukyun nothing shameful about it
that explains why he's having a hard time in classical chess. The reversed thing goes with Magnus
@@mukyumukyun I hope your coming from a "im american and want fabi to win the wc" angle instead of something nasty because he really did have some excellent games vs magnus. There's no shame in it whatsoever
@@Aeradill by 2021 wc match I think he is referring to nepo's match not fabi's.
2:03 the winds of victory blowing Fabiano back against the wall
Hahaha
"...blowing Fabiano back against the wall" love the way that sounded. Thanks Josh.
Ayoo!?
announcers be like "Is fabi going to see mate in 1? OH MY GOD HE FOUND IT"
lol "Is the second greatest Classical player of this generation going to find mate in 1?" *Pikachu surprised face*
Their commentary is still great though, I love it. As well as Naroditsky's.
The commentary is literally "He has to see mate in 1, right?" meaning he's expecting Fabi to play it, so I'm not sure what you're talking about
because he missed a mate in one against MVL 🥴
@@mikewilliams592 he is not the second best classical player not after his horrible performance in tata steel 🥴
Most important momemt was" will fabi (2700+) gonna see mate in one or not?
Ivanchuk against Anand a good reminder you can miss anything under time pressure. Anything.
@@dannyb763 Especially considering Hikaru is incredibly slippery and everyone misses their chances to beat him. He literally DID escape mate in 1 against Alireza in the cakedefi arena, as well as against a 2500 in the bongcloud speedrun
@@JimmyBoosterCrate As aronian against duda in the online tour... Its not impossible for topSuperGMS to miss a mate in 1
Fabiano is one of my favorite players, always keeps calm and keeps things real.
no he doesnt
@@jeetsidhu7912Extensively disproven nothing right there.
Man what a victory by Fabiano! All hell broke loose when Hikaru took on c3
I could literally hear Hikaru not even caring at 2:08
Why r peepol always saying this whenever Hikaru lost like bro just accept his loss
@@antonioa.jepkoko4588 cause he literally doesn't care?
@@antonioa.jepkoko4588 It's a joke.
@@antonioa.jepkoko4588 But he also literally doesn't even care.
I know you're meming, but there was a delay. He very much reacted.
Fabiano looks like a young and happy version of “are you winning dad” because he actually won
It's crazy how fast everything can fall apart in these top level games
its too fast
I’m not sure if you heard about blunder, when u blunder you lose doesn’t matter what level you are in
one bad move in chess in any level could be catastrophic
@@ayubseeed false. Go into sub 1000, blunder everything and u can still win on time.
I won games with 12 blunders lol
Hikaru still talking to chat while playing tournament lmao
thats how you know he's never going to be great
@@cornrowkenny7321 He already is.. Just last week he won a major tournament against some of the greatest chess players in the world. Whatever he does after, what he's done in the past 15 years already makes him a legend. He just realized there's more money to be made from streaming than from chess so he decided to focus on that route
@@cornrowkenny7321 Lmao he won Grand prix and is finished second which is still impressive I dont know what are you talking about
Is this legal? In over the board you can’t talk to people about chess while playing
What is your elo? 400?
Very happy for Fabi. He had a COVID scare at Tata when his manager tested positive. Even if he wasn't, he had to play the tournament without support - which, Fabi admitted, was stressful and wore him down. I don't chalk his performance at Tata against him: let's see what Fabi will be able to do going forward!
He was alone all the time at that tournament now he is back, good job Fabi.
That was an absolutely clinical attack by Fabiano.
I love hess' commentary, it makes it really exciting
Hikaru doesn't care, he literally doesn't care guys
It's great that these two extraordinary chess players are such chill people.
Probably the most satisfying chess clip I have ever seen! Well done Fabi!
I like when Hess gets animated. It makes Chess more exciting and more like popular spectator sports (Football, Soccer, Basketball, etc).
Sports?😂
Good to see fabi back in good form
There's a saying :
"Always castle early".
What an amazing year! Hikaru wins a classical tournament and Fabi wins a rapid tournament...
That was really cool. I think Hikaru can overthink at times. Fabi always seems well balanced and composed.
That bishop move to attack the rook and preparing rook D1 also by Fabi was so cool
0:02 Fabiano's reaction! 👀
i love when we get to see actual checkmates instead of resignations. how chess is supposed to be played.
Supposed to be played? Checkmate has always been a choice. Never a rule. People have being resing the game to avoid the checkmate for centuries.
@@cassidysilver This is not about the mate in 1 at the end, but since the moment Hikaru's position collapsed. Seeing them play until the end can only be beneficial for the audience, just like in any sport you can't just resign
fabi just crushed hikaru in this game. hikaru will not underestimate fabi in future
I don't think he did
Hikaru doesn't have to underestimate fabi. Hikaru has a crushing record against fabi in faster formats
Thats Fabiano saying "u sure u wanna play me in blitz?"
He was more like "Dawnn that was hard" lol
I love Hikaru, but I love Fabiano more.
You should not. This is an order
I like hikaru too, hes a pretty good player tbh, but Fabiano is also a good player too. These are grandmasters we’re taking about not 1400’s like me lmao
gay
@@musical_lolu4811 yeah and what’s the problem with that
That's nasty even hikaru felt disgusted
People always say Caruana's "bad" at blitz or whatever but he routinely, beautifully crushes strong players in it. He only shows some weakness against top players in blitz, but he's still beaten the likes of Magnus in OTB blitz and is still incredibly formidable. He is also still 2750 in blitz and has been 2800+ in blitz before, when he wouldve probably been between world 1-3
Those people would be idiots lmao... Fabi is the 3rd highest rated blitz player in the world.
Fabiano has been working a lot on his blitz. Lindores Abbey and then this
Love seeing hikaru annoyed
Reclined the seat back after he took Naka on that ride
So much for that earlier quick Berlin draw by Hikaru... nothing better than punishing an arrogant opponent. And what better way to do it than actually checkmate the guy? Awesome stuff.
Hikaru losing is always awesome haha - “literally doesn’t care”
Man these guys should start fighting in the UFC, they seem to like blood.
@Black Swan55 Hey Chad! Why are you not beating Magnus ?
Fabi is back!!!! C'mon Go!!
Gotta love Fabis energy
Haha that's a sweet victory for all of us after Hikaru went for the quick draw
@Black Swan55 Hikaru made a quick draw by entering the Berlin when he had white to take it to the tiebreak blitz match. That is the draw I am referring to
Very happy for Fabi. Well played!
Honestly this is probably one of the only times where if Hikaru said he didn't even care I would believe him lol, he looks like he couldnt care less
cope
2:08 : I think he's just thinking : "Phew, glad I won it! Now I can chill
When fabiano plays good chess, hes deadlyq
Seeing Hikaru lose never gets old
Also doesnt happen often
@@Pedro-op6zj in terms of super gms, he does. When he plays youtubers, then sure.
@Black Swan55 you sound like "Hikaru is best chess player fan"
@@ThumbsOnly Nah, he is the Hikaru hater. I am the one with "Hikaru is best chess player fan"
@@ThumbsOnly please dude. Hikaru is #2 rapid and #1 FIDE rated in blitz in the world. If he loses a lot then so does everyone else. He’s living rent free in your head my man.
I bet regrets drawing the match before
GM Hess such an entertaining commentator..He should be in candidates
the Hikaru rant/meltdown after the game was also amazing. He said Fabiano sits in the basement all day
Fab is a true beast!
Serves Hikaru right for going for a quick draw with the white pieces
That guy needs to calm down, this is not the Super Bowl.
Hess is a good hype man
Looks like Hikaru just doesnt care anymore
Hikaru seems to be still talking to chat lmao
2:00 This is typical GM chess when they Playing tooo focus
Fabi is a better player than the streamer dude
cap
Fabi is 7-6 against hikaru in classical but 26-56 in rapid and blitz
@Spaceman Spiff Hikaru was also nr 2 for a long time
Yes . In all format
@@chessgains8075 No he wasn't. Hikaru was only number 2 for one month, October 2015
Yeahh!!!!!!! Love the commentary
nakamura looks like he cares...
I like how Rudolf Hess is on this video😂
Fabiano plays like a jedi
Don't worry guys, Hikaru literally doesn't care
Fabi has traditionally not been very good at blitz but he is much better now.
He's the third highest rated blitz player in the world
Fab looks like Kramer in that thumbnail.
Hikaru now the one becoming the one trick poney.
People are criticizing Hess for asking "Can he [Fabi] see mate in 1" but they forget that Magnus missed a mate in 1 against Ivanchuk.
how does a mate in 0 work?
@@paradox5556 haha me stupid, thanks :)
lol Hikaru got a taste of its own doctor ! he he
caruana even looks like pandolfini damn grow that stache
is he.. Is he talking to chat while playing a semifinals championship? Bruh moment
Fabiano literally did care little bit
Fabi is my main man! Well done, sir.
He could hook some serious crazy stacy with those moves
Sheldon Cooper vs Leonard Hofstadter
Hess and Rudolf are easily the best (or more accurately, my favorite) commentators in the entire professional chess scene
I'm extremely late but you are out of your mind.
Danya would have loved to commentate this match
wubba lubba dub dub
that was some down right gangster shiiit !
Tbh I get Hikaru’s cocky and sometimes people says he’s a bitch but tbh he’s a good player that I like to watch every once in a while. Both players did good and congrats to Fabi for winning!
I mean you can't ignore fabi so long....
I know past months were bad for him ...
But he had been no. 2nd for so long...
Hungry tiger is back !
who's here after that game at the candidates?
That must have felt sooooo goood!
New song: Rook d1 rook d1
i will support hikaru and root for him in every game he plays... unless its fabi in which case I'm sorry, warlord, but i root for fabi
@Black Swan55 it feels strange to not be spamming 'spam this flower to give hikaru power'. i feel like I'm a betrayor
2:08 he didnt actually say that
Chat he literally doesn’t care
aaaand there we go.
Good prep
FABI OP
It's okay guys Hikaru literally doesn't care
Anna's hair on point
And I thought Fabi is bad at blitz
GANGSTER.
LOLLLL BIG HIKKY TRASSHHHHHHHH
Good for him!
Let's go Fabi!
2:07 what was that you guys? , Did he just checkmated me? That's just bad sportmanship . No you guys I offered him a draw and once I offer a draw then the game is a draw. That's stupid , literally stupid . I dont even care you guys , I literally don't care
cry lol
Satisfying
LOL Hicky xD
wow so precise
Pro Player DEMOLISHES a streamer.
Does anyone know what headphones hikaru is wearing? They look comfortable.
Crazy stuff
hikaru literally doesnt care tho
