Wow, watching this a couple of years too late, really strikes me as a chill cool guy. Usually in interviews he's quite dry and reserved, which I can appreciate as well, not everyone has to be a clown like Anish or thug life as Grischuk - but this really showed another side of Fabi that was really nice to see :-)
Seeing Tigran L Petrosian win these online events and getting money because of it after the confirmation that he's a filthy cheater is just sad. Top 2 and 3 are super GMs Anish and Fabi while a cheater is on top 1.
This video published year ago, but I've never interested about Caruana before. I've thought he is a nerd guy, all about chess. But he looks like a nice guy, intelligent and smart.
@ 28:04 Can anyone think of a refute to Nxd5? After pawn take d5 bxb5 hitting the unprotected rook I can’t find a good reply for black that doesn’t loose material. C5 can be refuted with Nxc5 forking the queen and bishop. After queen moves let’s say Qe8; Kxb7+ with a discovery on the rook. So to avoid this line black must not take the kd5 and be contempt w losing a pawn.
this is because he lost to Carlsen All of this backsit gaming, when at least one of analytics sit behind his back and tell him or correct him what to do Yes, he is talented, but not confident enough to be world champion
at 13:00 why didn't he play bishop takes knight .. for black not to lose the peace he must recapture with queen .. then knight b6 grabs a pawn and forks the queen and the rook ? Am I too dump? cause I'm sure as shit he isn't :D
