“buying nerds” got me laughing. Gotta love magnus’s style of talking
Same I laughed out loud
@@sk818factory5 Even funnier when you see the tags for the video. Levy just needs to drop his name once for guilt-free algorithm padding xD
@@cameronsmith5968
Oh, wait I didn't even see it.
I don't get it
Magnus didn't even say it it
Really opens up our eyes to all the hidden tricks and plans the grandmasters had going on. Especially impressive was Caruana's ability to manipulate and control the game.
There is a reason they call him the human chess engine
STOP IT YOU AI BOT
Fantastic indeed. Love the explanations and all the hidden tactics. Would love to hear Fabi response to this video.
Every time I get beat I say they’re cheating
Your girl cheating on you lil bro
Gotham inspires me.. My parents said if i get 70K followers They'd buy me a professional camera for recording..begging u guys , literally
Begging...
They are
That is called
You accuse 100% of chess players of cheating?
8:00 “that would work if your opponent has brain damage” Levi is going savage mode lol
Funny enough, I just talked about this. 😂😂😂
Fabiano is such a beast! Just a shame he was born in the same time with Magnus cause if not he'd most definitely be the best
Do you think he'd be the GOAT though? I feel like Kasperov would still be no1
this is true.

Levy, the kind of content you’ve been putting out lately is, well, like you say, fantastic. There’s a ton of high level games for you to review throughout modern history and your insight, analysis and commentary on current tournaments and players is top notch. You are a good teacher and you simplify complicated chess ideas into smaller understandable pieces for lower rated players like myself. I’m really happy to see you focusing more on this type of content.
the look on his face when he mentioned that his colleagues thought he was cheating is just heartbreaking. Imagine finding out that people who you look up to, some of which you may consider friends, thought you were cheating at a sport you put your life into. I hope Fabiano Caruana is doing okay because from personal experience, that sort of thing hurts badly.
I got accused of cheating in an online tournament a while ago, because I beat a CM when none of the people in that small community had heard of me, and the only evidence I had that I was actually a skilled player was a local tournament in 2021 in which I placed second by half a point (first was one of the best female players in the country). That really hurt, but we're sorted now but there's still some resentment that that's the first conclusion they jumped to.
Kramnik joined the chat
Resentment after a total nobody with 0 chartable experience beat him online? Id think you were cheating too lmao
I think people thinking you were cheating is more of a compliment than an insult
@@Squeeky_Wheel Facts as a competitor you should be grinning ear to ear, to be called a cheater.
@@madsin6516If you are in fact not cheating
To answer your question Levy, in american football it's very similar on both offense and defense where teams will run a scheme and it will dominate for a couple years and then someone will develop something else to stop that scheme and it goes around and around.
The wildcat formation was popular for a few years but now is much more rare. Also This year the eagles perfected the tush push
Came to look for this comment. Exactly what I was thinking of. Like Defenses taking away the deep shots after Mahomes and Hill destroyed them for a bit too long.
@jam199716 the NFL will probably ban it before there is any counterplay lol
The tush push!
Not a fan of the Eagles but they definitely got a good tush push
Honestly, Fabi is so solid, so smothering, so controlled. I'm really hoping he wins the candidates and takes the title, he deserves a lot.
Hey Levi, hockey has had trendy offensive and defensive systems over the years. A good example is the neutral zone trap, popularized by the New Jersey Devils in the mid 90s. It stagnated games and limited scoring, but was very effective and widely adopted for its success. As a consequence, two-line passes were removed from the game and the goalie's ability to leave the crease and play the puck was limited to specific zones behind the net in order to bring additional offensive options into the game.
The Devils were the worst thing to ever happen to the sport. Teams still play variations of that trap.
I don't follow sports at all so the only hockey controversy I really know about was the Fox glowing puck in the mid 90s. 😆 Not exactly a change in the meta, just an aesthetic thing that folks probably found tacky.
7:58 "That would work if your opponent has braindamage ... that might work on your level" lmao
That line got me too, haha.
Can we just appreciate that the second best chess player in the world is also one of the most generous and humble guys in the world🤘
This! That's the thing I can't stand Magnus, he basically got stuck as a 17-year old bratty teenager.
Fabi has always had an incredibly unique and solid style of playing. I’d love to see more highlights from the 2010s when he was in his prime against Magnus
What happened to him ?
@@Rocamescope he is still a top 5 player. He competes in a lot of the top level competitions and usually places in 2-4th, so he never gets as much of a spotlight.
He's still in his prime. He was rated 40 points higher in 2014 than he is now, but he qualified for the Candidates in three different ways. Semifinals at the world cup, #2 rating, and the tour points, and won the Sinquefield Cup
@@RocamescopeHe's back in form over the past year or so. Kinda had a weak year in 2022 but he's back now. Currently the second highest elo and the only other player with a 2800+ elo in classical chess right now. Will be a real contender at the candidates if he keeps it up.
@@tripfarmer9508 Narrowly lost the candidates, but it's still impressive that, at a time where the 2800 rating has become spectacularly rare, Fabiano has probably held it the longest out of anyone in the top other than Magnus himself
He still has a very good chance of winning the World Championship in the future, if he manages to keep his numbers high as he has... Basically since 2014, with a few dips here and there
One trendy strategy that was briefly popular in NASCAR was drafting in pairs. In around 2011-2012 you saw a lot of this especially at the bigger tracks like Talladega and often with teammates or close allies. Dale Jr. pushed Jimmy Johnson to a win like this at that track and ironically although literally on his bumper finished 4th as another pair was drafting that way and finished side by side in a photo finish.
There was also a brief moment in the 2010s (can't remember the year) when they came out with the new car models and drivers found that the most efficient way to draft was to run bumper to bumper. So the entire field would make two giant congo lines. This lead to some massive, multicar wrecks.
Shake and bake
@@Wargasm54 slingshot engaged
@@synchronium24 I remember that. Good times
When you've been watching levy's videos everyday for over 3 yrs and realize he already covered this game in a video dedicated to all fabi's wins in this tournament, a couple of years back 😊. ( This is definitely more detailed though)
yeah I remember that video :)
I literally just finished watching that, and then he uploaded this😂
"The best win streak in chess" or something like that, had Caruana in as the thumbnail with a 7-0 red font on it.
edit: he drew the 8th game against Magnus.
6:52 Idk if it's still popular but around 2010 in waterpolo, the main formation had a mix up. Traditionally when attackers set up it's 3 and 3 with 3 people close to the goal but a driving system developed where 4 would shift to a side and rotate driving towards the goal looking for passing opportunities while 1 sat in front of the goal to keep constant pressure on the opposite side.
Nice game to highlight Levy, thanks!
Speaking to the trends in sports topic, I'm a big hockey fan and we see trends constantly, which sometimes get taken up en masse, or sometimes cause rule changes to get rid of a trend that is seen as negatively impacting the game (at least in the eyes of the fans watching- a trend that perhaps slows the game down or seems to be an unfair advantage). Power plays in hockey are a prime example, as well as the newer Overtime format of 3v3 for 5 minutes before a shootout- many teams right now following the trend of "possession first" mentality, hanging on to the puck and even retreating from the offensive zone with the puck when they need to regroup as opposed to just taking a shot. Definitely see trends like you mentioned in many major sports!
Levy, I love these kind of rewinds of old and iconic games, such wonderful matches and wonderful players to be praised. keep up with the good work, because thats why you are our favorite chess content creator
6:50 This happens a ton in hockey, but about half of it comes from rule changes. An example of a top level players changing the way a position is played would be Patrick Roy popularizing butterfly style goaltending in the 90s. The style had seen some use for a while before him, but it never caught on because it had a number of flaws. Roy and the goalie coaches he worked with ironed out those flaws and, in doing so, brought about a goaltending style that, though it's a more advanced and polished version, is still used today.
I love how subtle Fabiano's play is; and his counterattacks (in other games) with squeezing winning chances out of stone
hey levy, in football (or soccer iirc) the newer "trend" is teams usually want specific skills in their goalkeepers: they want someone who can build an attack with their feet, whether it's a slow play from the goal to the enemy goalie, or just a quick counter they should be able to provide the ball without esitation and margin of error, that's why the best and most requested goalies in the world rn are all superb at building a attack with their clinical passes
Hey pretty lady!
Thanks for the content you’ve been making recently. I stopped watching for a pretty long time and these pulled me back in. Loving the style! Keep it up if you can and it’s lucrative enough
That’s the best video I’ve seen on your channel in a while, indeed best game by Fabi, what a player he is! You can do more of those videos in the near future as you do now, like famous Morozevich-Vashier Lagrave game for example
I love when levy analyses deeply because sometimes he skip analyses the opening and just analyses the peak break moment
Levy never fails to explain the first 3 moves of the Spanish in great detail
Such an obscure opening, it needs some detailed explanation…
@@rdspam i dont get why black wants a bishop on e7 instead of just taking the pawn on e4 with the knight he just developed.
@@TombisGamingwhite is winning if black takes the free pawn
Fabi stayed 1 move ahead all game. He never made a mistake. And Levy did a fine job of describing it.
I really like what levy said is what he is upto, truly legendary stuff by him, for covering so many aspects of chess.
Levy, this was absolutely riveting. Fantastic blend of insight and enthusiasm.
there are definitely trends in other sports too - they can be stylistic variations or tactical variations that become popular after someone is successful with them. In my sport (karate), there are both trends as to how the top people execute certain techniques and also as to which kata are seen more often at the top level (and also sparring looks very different in different eras, which also has a lot to do with rule changes).
Fabi never fails to be my favorite gm
Bro these jokes are dead now
love seeing fabi games. one of my favorite players of all time. he’s so down to earth in interviews and he plays chess with that same elegance of magnus. two of greatest imo
I love these recent videos Gotham. So cool to learn about cool history! Thanks :)
Never had the pleasure to meet Fabi but I’ve seen him on Coffee Chess playing normal guys he’s a stand up guy
Such a phenomenal game. Don't let Kramnik see it! 😀
interesting
He was probably the "peer" starting the accusations.
Fantasticly instructive!
This has to be one of your best videos that I've seen.

21:08 levy never fails to include magnus even if theres no magnus in thz video
You're on a roll lately! Really enjoying the recent videos
The 1-3-1 powerplay is the newer trendy Powerplay formation in hockey. Grew over the past couple years and now almost every team uses it
What you are describing in sports (and more prominently in eSports) is called metagame, or the meta. The trendy stuff that trickles down from the pros becomes the Chess meta.
There might be a Levy, Who Always Fails in a Parallel World.
Really enjoyign the mix of content youve been doing recently! Keep it up dude
Such a beautiful game. Magnus is my favorite but Fabi is certainly a very close second. Love his preparation and style of play.
Levon probably at the end of the game didn't even know what he did wrong, what a performance.
You should do a video on the 2024 pan American chess championship. Just finished playing in it and in the sixth round on table, one, the university of Missouri and the University of Texas at Rio Grande Valley All agreed to a draw after seven moves, forging the results with no repercussions for pre arranged cheating. mind you this is all 2600 Chess at the college level. If interested look this up, it’s possible in the future colleges could be protesting this event. I played for Texas tech and this cheating directly effected our A teams ability to play in the final 4. Agreeing to draws and not actually playing for results is a trendy cheating tactic.
About the regular changes in popular plays, it happens a lot in professional counter strike. A team develops a tactic, everyone plays it for a couple of months until everyone knows how to counter it, and the "meta" changes again
Phenomenal breakdown. You gave something for every level, and you kept it genuinely entertaining with your excitement. Thank you.
If you count esports then there are trends in how games are played such as strategies going in and out of fashion in Starcraft 2 for example. One example recently was called the herO style where a player discovered a cool aggressive way to play PvZ which then spawned more spinoff strategies for Protoss and more strategies from Zerg ro beat those strategies until the original playstyle fell out of fashion in this weird way where bits of it get incorporated into something completely different.
I wouldn't count esports because game trends/meta most of the time changes with patches. Someone finds strong strat -> it gets patched -> someone finds strong strat -> it gets patched -> ...

Anyone that beats me is cheating
Caruana, of course, was born in Florida and is a US citizen. He's an Italian citizen too, because his parents are from Italy, but he's never lived in Italy and doesn't speak Italian.
He was playing for the Italian federation because he was qualified (through his parentage) and was living in Hungary, so it was close enough for travel and was a good job.
TIL
This was a very instructive video!! I did learn a few tips, and you gave a good explanation for all ideas. Thank you for this game coverage, it was also quite entertaining 😃
Gotham, i am a grad student for chemistry. And this channel has kept me same, academia sucks and playing chess keeps me sane so thank you very much

I love your attitude to learning about other sports and their changes with the rugby example! If you're looking for other game theory, Will Anderson does great informative work on Scrabble and their tournaments!
Dang, there were some really cold-blooded moves. Thanks for sharing about Fabi's immortal game.

Big fan of the recent high level game + analysis
There are trends in tennis, like carlos alcaraz made the aggressive drop shot more trendy. There are evolutionary changes to on how the hit the ball and how to hold the grip, but that still largely depends on the play with obvious trends.
Levy never fails to include Magnus Carlsen in first minute of the video
true
I really like the Spanish Main line. Normally my opponent over extends which gives me an advantage. Then I blunder my queen and lose😢
A sport I know you like MMA had a blow up with calf kicks those became trendy and eventually a mainstream tactic. I don't remember who started using them heavily first but it's quite interesting to see new techniques develop in MMA and BJJ.
You see top trends of elite tournament poker players, the trend evolves year by year.

Hope this comment reaches you, Levy!
Great point about certain moves/styles determining the trend(s) within a certain period in time. In my handball career, I played against a young agile German player called Uwe Gensheimer (Nickname: "The Magic Wrist"). At the time he was still in full development, but he soon was able to produce a spectacular and unreadable wrist shot that put a certain unexpected spin on the ball. This move revolutionized shots that were taken at a tight angle (cfr. shots from the wing position) and - becoming more popularized - evolved the wing position into becoming more active and dangerous in attack, for those that were prone to such a style of play. Nowadays, this is a shot that is part of the arsenal of many players, but not many can disguise or redo it perfectly. In this sense, it is something that many players dabble into if needed!
Fun little trivia! Haha and I'm sure there are many more stories like these in many other sports. That's what keeps these sports so interesting ☺
Fabi's style in this game really reminds me of Capablanca and Ding
This guy never fails to fail
Gotham never fails to say its Gotham Chess time and start Gotham Chessing everywhere. Truly one of the Gotham Chesses of all time.
lol
On the point of trendiness in other sports I can vouch for football (soccer) having trends in formations and styles of play! For instance, when Antonio Conte moved to the English Premier League he made 5 defender formations more popular and likewise when Pep Guardiola was in Spain he kick started a culture of “Tiki-Taka” where it became a trend to play with agile/technical midfielders and get quick short passing going!
This content is the best. How to better see the board, look ahead and calculate different ideas.

This shift in baseball, the wildcat formation in football, the calf kick in MMA. It happens from time to time.
I had a pc chess game from the 80s that displayed the names of the openings and variations when they were played, the "Murphy Defense" was among those names.
The trendy move thing definitely happens in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They are actually very similar in a lot of ways. Levi and Josh Waitskin should do a Jiu JItsu Chess tournament and higher me as the janitor.
Thank you Levy for this beautiful story
3:17 targeting the pawn in the center looking like your game, so far so good😂
Baseball shifts were the same kind of concept, some teams began the change and then it became the norm before it was banned.
Football had the Wildcat for a few years. Now the college style read option stuff is run by some teams. Also what the Eagles are doing with the QB Sneak (the Brotherly Shove) is really interesting.
Wildcat system in American Football was popular in late 2000s and early 2010s. It made it's resurgence this year.
thank you for showing this... it was so much fun to watch :D
plays and styles get very trendy in competitive sports of all sorts. Everybody would try new strategies if they can recreate them
