Instead of the pretty 88 g7, white also had the more pedestrian line to win of 88 a7 Nd5 89 a8=Q Nc7+ 90 Kb6 Nxa8+ Kb7 trapping the knight and the 2 pawns against king wins. This is a winning variant of the line commented upon with g7 thrown in, which only draws.
Well done. But I can get you real explicit footage of torture, as when I ask my wife if it's ok to stay out late with my buddies at the local bar. The amount of verbal torture that follows is simply stunning.
And it was in this position that agadmator's chess channel was demonetized for promoting Bishop torture to a young audience who had already experienced such trauma both over and under the board
@@mercronniel3122 savage is a metaphor for cruel and unusual. Indeed a bishop is unusual for promotion, and cruel in that its embarrassing an opponent to lose to it. Try learning how Chess works and a bit of abstract thinking. These narrow minded simpleton literal Andy's always...
This brings up the discussion of selfgoal in soccer. In fact the reason for selfgoal is pressure. So it is NOT selfgoal. The pressure is relentless on Ray. Fabi deliberately puts him in a timedisadvantage. This is worth remembering in your own games. Play on the opponents half of the board. No threat to your own "goalie".
every-time you point out a computer evaluation its important to keep in mind that evaluation is from a 3500 rated computer. Sometimes the practical odds of winning are way different.
As GothamChess puts it, the computer says this is ok but don't listen to the computer it's stupid. In other words, the computer finds moves that work only because the computer will continue to play like a 3500 rated player, something a human could never replicate.
Fabi's dark square bishop: my time has arrived! Fabi brought his bishop back instead of promoting to a queen bcz that bishop should have finish the job he already started😎
I found it amusing how when he promoted, the gamekeeper instinctively wrote down Queen Promotion and had to go back and rewrite it when he saw it was a Bishop
I wish analysis of more longer games. Like Keith Arkell, I adore long games, and find videos like this incerdibly stimulating. Arkell likes the games of Karpov, Ulf Andersson, Tony Miles and Salov. Korchnoi's games were also often long.
Chess wouldn't be interesting if the right moves were made all the time. Some inaccuracies lead to more exciting board positions and analysis by agadmator.
Imagine promoting to a bishop in front of everyone, knowing that this one very simple act of pure cruelty to the opponent will make this one game be famous for decades
Tal: Let's attack like a maniac to make a legendary game. Magnus: Let's make a complex endgame to make a legendary game. Fabi: let's just underpromote to a bishop it's gonna be legendary.
I wish! At 18:48 I wish Fabi would have 'fallen' for the trap. 1. A7 - ND5; 2. A8Q - NC7 check; 3. KC6 - NxA8; 4. KB7 and ... your move baby. This is a bit more than a joke in that I find it unproductive to not resign in futile positions. First, it tells the world that you cannot accept reality. Second, it is mildly insulting to your opponent. Third - and this actually happened - you draw attention to your loss. This happened when Fabi promoted to a Bishop. Fabulous!
I love that Fabi's reason for under-promoting to a Bishop was simply that he had never done so before outside of puzzles/endgame studies.
he was lying he definitely just wanted to bm his opponent
@@c.221 I mean I have no way of confirming 1 way or the other as only he knows precisely why he did it. Regardless I respect the decision to do something slightly more fun especially as a mental trick to stop thinking about how he is having a terrible tournament.
The A pawn was going to be promoted to a rook.
It took Fabi three bishops to stop his losing streak
Wow Fabi is pretty religious huh?
It's alright, as long as it's a win...✌

I would have preferred him to promote the pawn to a knight instead of a bishop

Sacrificing the bishop was absolutely brilliant.
I asked my kid to leave the room for this game
"Feel free to pause the video"
Me: Not a chance.
This is a fine move by Fabi with the head nod! Antonio said fine and he meant it.
It was so funny seeing Fabi promote to a bishop... one can BM in chess!
That ain't a bad manners in my opinion cuz it's even more beautiful to promote to a bishop than a queen, because you still have to take it either way
Bowel movement?

I'll say in my head "is this theory?" Knowing very very little about chess theory.
Finding the losing move: :(
Finding the losing move that a 2669 rated player played: :\
It was the opposite for me, I got the right move and was like "damn, why was that knight move better" and got a massive ego boost when he said my move was the right one.
Oh my... What a game by Fabi, a masterpiece of never give up your chances to win a game. Fabi's a master on doing that.

I just love it when fabi wins
that's funny. Me too. What is it about Fabi that makes us happy when he squeezes out a win?
We all do.

Hello everyone, does it for me. I don't mind waiting for the good stuff. :)
@@Nicks721 That's right lol.
What if it's not the good stuff?
Very cool game! One bold sacrifice and one seemingly tiny positional oversight bring Fabi victory out of a drawing position.

I hadn't realised that. It's an interesting line too.
And instead of g8=B+ he could play Kc6, for if Ne7+ or Nb4+ then Kb7 and the P on a7 promotes.
"Nobody Grinds like the Former World Chess Championship Challenger"

Yes but Fabiano Caruana was before him
@@Kobrejz then it should be former challenger?

@@frederikpeters7353 Also they had probably been playing for quite a long while by then. That takes a toll on you

Under 🤔🤔
Under premoting to a Bishop in this position is just savage, fancy, stylish way to end the game
Premoting is when a king plans to dig a defensive moat around his castle. Promoting on the other hand is what happened in the game
spoilers ; - ;
Underpromoting is not savage; mindlessly bringing in a queen is savage.

First time I’m early lol, love watching your videos at work especially
That's a grind and then some! Squeezing out water from stone.
Noone is equal to Magnus in the endgames
Yes Fabi! Take back those wins! Activate that bishop!
Finding ne6 and ne4 was very nice but I chose ne6
I’m just gonna watch this excellent video real quick before the UA-cam algorithm takes it down for the title ;)
considering the game was all about the bishop pair, promoting to a bishop was meta from Fabi
Good game by both! Thank you Antonio!

Fabi played the endgame like Carlsen...amazing!
Well that was interesting! One of the rarest notations. :D
That quote is straight fire, Agad on the top of his game
Amazing, Fabi made it so difficult to draw after the sac
The comments about white torturing black won’t confuse UA-cam at all.

losing two games in a row is unheard of? are draws THAT common?
Robson went too early into the "lets repeat and wait" mode.
Because of the title, I almost didn't want to watch this at work... but I figured if they actually looked into it I'd be ok... crossing my fingers.
5:46 The way he says *Fine* with so much force is oddly hilarious

I can barely count to 90 let alone play classical chess for that length of time without at least one stumble! Bravo!
Jeeze agadmator I didn’t know you were into posting gore!!
Now and only now you have a brilliant game
Incredible piece sac

"That's the power of the bishop pair." Never forget that.

That's one hell of a quote today!
Fabi is the Expert in winning Bishop Pair Vs Bishop and Knight endgame
great analysis.
Fabi is gangsta for bringing the Bishop in at the end!!!
Nice comeback by Fabi.
Tal: Let's attack like a maniac to make a legendary game.
Magnus: Let's make a complex endgame to make a legendary game.
Fabi: let's just underpromote to a bishop it's gonna be legendary.
When fabi trolls, u resign.
Fabi took the 100 endgames test so I think he should be great with endgame positions like this. Nice win.
You save your bishop pair for 70 moves and then you sacrifice it - Agad
😂😂😂
I loved your presentation of this endgame
That endgame made my head hurt
I bet Agad will come to his senses and change the title
The reason he under promoted to a bishop is because it's an important signal to his opponent that he understood what he was doing.
It's so interesting to see how just one wrong check can lose the equal position even at the Super GM level
That happened to me two weeks ago... With the Night also.
Best torture ever
I literally watch your vidds as a asmr to sleep
I'll be rooting for Caruana. That was a great end game.
All hail to the bishop
I'm very poud of being a true master of the endgame! D
I truly believe Fabi was going to promote the A pawn to a rook.
I was shocked when Robson didn't grab the bishop. I thought it was such an obvious move when I was watching live.
Exhaustive battle!
interesting that fabi would underpromote a pawn to a bishop... the point of underpromotion is to avoid a stalemate or to mate with the knight.
What an endgame! That seemingly insignificant ke6 lost the game
UA-cam's algorithm is gonna have a field day with that title. Say goodbye to the good ratings of your channel.
Promoting that pawn to a bishop is such a slap in the face! :)
Well this will look great in the ol' search history...
Fabi’s face in the thumbnail is perfect for this title lol
Fabi's face at all times is perfect for this title
Caruana is always in the mix, dangerous player.
it is but poetic to summon a bishop to mark the end. it was the bishop pair that endured throughout this game.
The Bishop trio was fully operational.

I think Fabi barely gives a damn about this tournament; saving the good stuff for the Grand Swiss
A massive surprise to see Caruana actually winning! After getting destroyed by Naroditsky and Sevian...
I know how this ends before the video and it is still scary.
I searched for torture footage and found this 3rd on the search result
Blood from a stone...Magnus-esque.
Hey UA-cam - watched 2 times just for the endgame bondage. Who am I kidding, watched two times just to marvel at the wizardry of the bishop pair.
Violated his whole bloodline with that move
When I find those amazing moves but can't get above 1200 rating in blitz..
Underrated Game, it would be awesome if Fabi came back to win this champion
