Fabi's "I got messages from people…" was hilarious. These two are great together.

Funny how Fabi reacts after hearing that "amazing statistic" . 1:07:30 Also was hilarious - "Kramnik followed his prep and was dead lost... It will never happen". Same thing happened to Fabi in the Covid Candidates against Ding, super complex game (prep) and -2 evaluation.

Fabi says it's strange the play went from so precise to so poor. I don't think so.

Fabi must have seen so many of those Short vs Kasparov games where Short played beautiful attacking chess and had Kasparov dead and then began to miss easy tactics once he knew he was winning. He even stated the one game he did win was because he didn't realise it was winning till the very end.

Knowing you are about to win be World Champion can do very strange things to a guy who very deep down might not believe he deserves it.

I'd still consider this less amazing than the way GM Svidler collapsed in the World cup final a few years ago.

Just like when you’re playing a competitive video game. When you’re getting blasted you stop thinking and go with instinct.

Christian is a nice guy but he needs to chill and just let Fabi talk.

I found the game Kramnik-Giri that was mentioned like 6-7 into the video.

[Event "5th Norway Chess 2017"]
[Site "Stavanger NOR"]
[Date "2017.06.16"]
[Round "9.4"]
[White "Kramnik, V."]
[Black "Giri, A."]
[Result "1-0"]
[WhiteElo "2808"]
[BlackElo "2771"]
[Variant "Standard"]
[TimeControl "-"]
[ECO "D05"]
[Opening "Queen's Pawn Game: Colle System"]
[Termination "Normal"]

1. Nf3 d5 2. d4 Nf6 3. e3 e6 4. Bd3 c5 5. O-O c4 6. Be2 b5 7. b3 Bb7 8. Nc3 b4 9. Na4 c3 10. Ne5 Bd6 11. a3 a5 12. Bb5+ Kf8 13. Nc5 Qb6 14. Nxb7 Qxb7 15. Qe2 g6 16. e4 Nxe4 17. Bh6+ Ke7 18. f3 Nd2 19. Rfe1 Kd8 20. Bf4 1-0

Honestly took me a little while to figure out why black is even losing in the final position

lmao shots fired GM Caruana is like "Bro, he was playing at a very low Elo. I won't say just how low, but it's lower than you think I'd say."

Normally when I watch super GMs play and think "wait isn't that a blunder?" , usually I am the one who is wrong and missed some clever tactic. f5?? is incredible for a world class GM at the height of his powers.

"Obviously, none of this stuff is obvious" Fabi – I enjoyed that one

Can't spell chess without Hess. Caruana hot as a sauna. GM Cris almost gave Hans his fist.
