This interview is a great example (and showcase) on why interviews in any sport should be done by people that not only play the sport, but interact organically with the community and athletes. They are both aware of each other, and their contributions to the sport. So there's that mutual respect. However, no punches are pulled, and no question is off the table. Even with that, they're obviously comfortable, and the answers ring true, instead of a "copy paste" memorized to answer media. And I do realize that most media time is set to a lower time bracket than this. Having a 20m plus interview with one of the best at any sport is, indeed, quite a treat. Great job.
I'm honestly thinking that they are at a such high level at chess that it's hard for them to tell the difference between 800 vs 1200 ELO for example. Even considering the Chess ELO scale, I doubt someone with 50 hours of practice would be 1200 ELO. At 1200 ELO in chess, you will likely beat most of your friends/family. With 50h of tennis practice you probably will not beat most people you know. Also for context, in the Tennis ELO scale, where the top players are ~2200, the players in the 450th ranking worldwide have 1200 ELO
@@arck-yt Gotham interviewed him like 3 months ago. Just look up "Gotham interview Magnus". I don't think he did for this tournament. At least not that I've seen.
He has the ability of becoming a friend with all of them and putting them in a confort zone where they can tell all of their thaughts without pressure or interruptions.
in this interview specifically, fabi kinda carries the interview. Not insulting Levy, but Fabi is a fantastic interviewee. Never gives the boring short answer. Always gives an interesting detailed answer
I really enjoyed this. Fabi is obviously an amazing player, but his reserved personality kept him slightly more under the radar. I've seen enough interviews and commentary from him to become a big fan, he's smart, thoughtful, careful and insightful. Whilst I'm rooting for Hikaru in the candidates, I wouldn't be sad to see Fabi win.
He almost seemed genuinely _happy_ for Anna when she surprised herself by beating him ... great game. (She should ask him out. Just saw a fun vibe between them. 🤷♀)
Fabi is such a humble and dignified person.He speaks with such clarity and is soft spoken.A great chess player.His mannerisms remind me so much of Vishy Anand.
Fabi has been my favourite for a while. Gentlemen, poised, classy, excellent player, and never in any drama. I will be thrilled to see him take his throne as the WCC. He deserves it considering how close he was to magnus.
Not seeing enough of this among the meme comments; love where you’ve come from and the direction of your content. The interview and podcast stuff is all amazing, would love to see more of what you did in this video specifically. Thanks for the daily chess stuff and entertainment, lots of enjoyment while waiting for my CS class
One comes to expect at least a touch of narcissism from people who are elite at anything, but Fabiano seems to be able to analyze his own performance and behavior in a completely rational fashion. That is truly a rare skill, very admirable. I like Levy in this kind of format.
I’ve seen him interviewed on another channel the guy he teamed up when they were playing partners in a chess match or that might’ve been Hikaru and Fabi I’m not sure
I like Fabi. He's not an egotistical A-hole. He's quiet, honest, intelligent, and thoughtful. He's a lot like me, but with an Elo 2,500 above mine. He and Hikaru are my favorite players to watch, especially if they are playing against Hans.
Fabi is such a wonderful personality. We are so lucky to live in an era with such gracious, humble top players, at least for the most part. And good on you, Levy, for not pulling any punches. Some of these questions were uncomfortable, but you asked with care and respect. Could watch you two talk for hours. Thanks!
I actually dont even doubt that caruana will became WC some day most probably this year ,statistics shows clearly he is second after Magnus no matter how much Hikaru tries to be Magnus's ultimate Rival ,but in reality that position belongs to none other than calculating machine CARUANA himself....❤❤❤
Fabiano is such a wholesome person. and i love the chemestry between you two. hopefully there might be some more colaborations with you two on each others podacast 🥰
There's just something about Fabi you gotta love. He's like a zen master thats lived 100 lives already. He needs to finally embrace the Ricky Ricardo stache that keeps trying to break free. It wants t be free Fabi let it be free!
At around 2:40 an advert kicked in, but already your guest had said some real and honest things about a player’s views. I like that, and what he said I can relate to and understand that even GMs are humans. Thank you Fabiano 😊
Fabi is that quiet brainy kid in class everyone initially avoids. And then gradually over time wins everybody over one by one, and becomes extremely popular.
Great interview. Fabi is the most articulate, even-tempered, intelligent speaker in the chess world. I hope either he or Hikaru wins and then wins the world championship.
Please get a break, so many interviews with amazing chess players lately. Fantastic job Levy, this content keeps helping to inspire young players and it's always refreshing to see the lighter side of the game other than its boring seriousness, and you always make gms smile 😊
I have a lot of respect for this guy, always shows a lot of level headedness and composure, it's a shame he didn't get to become world champion at his peak because of a certain sauron of chess.
I want to thank you but also i am having one of these moments where i am just so grateful for UA-cam in general to give oeople the opportunity to witness some of the best in the world of so many sports, that one never had anything to do with, so closely.
Fabi is always such a chill guy. Seems like one of the few super GMs that aren’t ego maniacs.
Still Hikaru gonna win the candidates
@@derbarenschander7737but the man can’t hold a conversation without gloating
Fabi is a super down to earth and humble guy it seems
@@ilijazz cry
@@derbarenschander7737 Hikaru is great, but Leslie was talking about Fabi not about Naka
Gotham never fails to kidnap GMs
Facts
he's up to something
Gotham has been kidnaped again! But this time, they got Caruana, too!!
Gets kidnapped by GMs
Just wait sooner or later he will have to move on to underage GMs
Fabi is so likeable... He is a gentleman and Levi continues to listen and let those players being the stars of the interviews.
It's a given, but I love how articulate these GMs are.
Fabi is becoming one of my favorite personalities. He seems so chill and humble and fun to watch.
Levy is Crazy Cool too
Levon has a similar vibe with a strong accent.
Same. He's down to earth man.
Yes his interviews are always great!!
He has a calming vibe
Fabi seems like such a chill guy. One of the few GMs id think would make a solid friend. Im rooting for him
“Kramnik confronted me!” Video gonna be fire
would be a very interesting video
Kramnik was banned for cheating. 😂 Seriously. He was banned for playing under someone else’s account.

Awaiting Fabi's rockstar and Hollywood era 😂
I love fabiano’s way of speech. I feel like I would enjoy having a conversation with him about anything.
He’s very Thoughtful
Fabiano is like one step away from Morgan Freeman to me, where I could listen to him talk about peeling potatoes and be fully invested
Check out the c squared podcast
Watch his podcast!
Moral of all these interviews: We need a super GM tennis tournament.
At least they didn’t talk about Hair Cuts
@@michaelmassaro4375 i thought the c-squared prodcast episode where they talked about haircuts for 15 mins was funny.
@@TheArizus link??
Fabi blink twice if you are in danger
Bro protect him someone😔😔😭 please

G4 e2 then I do .. f6 Thanks for this levy
Fabi: I'm really terrible at tennis
Gotham: what's your tennis elo?
Fabi: *says my chess elo*
Me: ._.
You're good bro it's double my elo lol 😂
Haha that’s me being 800 elo.

I just wanna say how good Gotham is at interviewing. These are very well moderated interviews. Well done Sir

These "confrontations" are really good! Finally Levy getting to the spot he deserves
Fabi is such an authentic, humble, gifted and REAL person. He honestly deserves all the recognition he gets. Go Fabi Go!
I love the way Fabiano talks. There is humility, and his tone is very pleasant to listen to.
Bro answers all the possibilities that could arise from the question 💀
Probably like he does in Chess ♟️
intp moment
Fabi is def a fan fav to win. Being so humble and respectful, how could you not like the guy?
you can see how levy is more chilled out with fabi - relaxed posture, friendly but more direct questions. i like this.
bro what a candid and interesting interview. Its great to see into these guys minds and get their history. Especially as a newer Chess fan
He was remarkably honest about his struggles. Cool interview
One comes to expect at least a touch of narcissism from people who are elite at anything, but Fabiano seems to be able to analyze his own performance and behavior in a completely rational fashion. That is truly a rare skill, very admirable. I like Levy in this kind of format.
Ditto to all ~
Theres some weird calm aura to fabi
His mind is one big chess engine I think
Levi is going to end up winning this tournament instead.
Gg😂😂😂
Bro interviewing his sources of income
Where? I don't see any Magnus😂
Magnus isn't even the world champion anymore. He's kinda irrelevant nowadays.
@@at7915 so is Ding more relevant?

This is my favorite gotham content in a while tbh. Looking forward to the other interviews quite a bit
Levy got the chameleon effect and started imitating Fabianos speech style after the halfway point of the video
They kind of look like brothers
😂😂😂@@michaelmassaro4375
Fabi is really fun to listen ...so chill and vocal
fabi is such a nice and chill guy, great interview and good luck fabi!
Gotham did fabi dirty with that thumbnail
Edit: it got changed
I know right? Why give him a lazy eye? lmao
Did the thumbnail just change?
Idea: super GMs tennis tournament, where they double up with a pro tennis player
I am team Caruana + Sinner
I've never saw any Fabi's interview, but he sounds like a chill cool guy, but also very calm and mature
I’ve seen him interviewed on another channel the guy he teamed up when they were playing partners in a chess match or that might’ve been Hikaru and Fabi I’m not sure
The way Fabi talks, he's like the super villain, psychopath antagonist from psychological thriller movies. 😅
I like Fabi. He's not an egotistical A-hole. He's quiet, honest, intelligent, and thoughtful. He's a lot like me, but with an Elo 2,500 above mine. He and Hikaru are my favorite players to watch, especially if they are playing against Hans.
well clearly more humble than you. HAHAHAHA
Hans fears none of
not an egotist and hikaru is an oxymoron
very humble!!!
The only player in chess with the best preparation. Thumbs up Fabi.

It's called c-squared

r/woooosh
@@pinocchiog.3230that's a great name for a podcast! You should contact Fabi immediately!

I liked the interview. Listening to Fabiano's voice was very relaxing. I like the way he talks, very calm and humble.
For the future audience the old title is " I Confronted Fabiano Caruana"
I think it was also something like “I forced Fabiano to be interviewed “ which is very funny
Thanks for the update 😂
@@johannankelly your welcome lad
Thanks
At this point he will confront everyone

such a fascinating and endearing individual, Fabi is. Brilliant, humble and insightful isn't something I see combined too frequently.
thanks Levy
Fabi didnt premove the conversation the way hikaru did
this is such a good series excited for the rest of the players!!
Levy never fails to milk Magn... wait, what?!
Amazing interview, chess needs more things like this
Levy never fails to get kidnapped by GMs.
I actually dont even doubt that caruana will became WC some day most probably this year ,statistics shows clearly he is second after Magnus no matter how much Hikaru tries to be Magnus's ultimate Rival ,but in reality that position belongs to none other than calculating machine CARUANA himself....❤❤❤
Hikaru played a helluva game today to be fair Fabi had a good chance to win but Hikaru is that tactician
loving these interviews my man, keep on doing cool shit
Fabiano : only one who can compete with magnus
I dont think so
No wayyy
in classical yes, Hikarus close in blitz/bullet
He did say so, I mean I can't deny it
Magnus said, only player who’s close to me is fabi , so true
Fabiano is so polite and kind :))
Levy looks like Fabi but with social skills
Love Fabi, so good to hear him speak on all of these topics.
Gotta love Fabi. I'm always struck by how humble he is.
Fabi's sitting position and immovable legs in this interview remind me of Kerrmit the Frog and how he sits.
Caruana has the most soothing voice and humble takes.
I love it how the calmness of Fabi seems to (finally) calm down Levy :-)
This content is amazing bro!, keep it coming
Fabi is the Tim Duncan of chess, quiet, efficient, consistent, humble. I like these kinds of personalities.
Fabiano is such a wholesome person. and i love the chemestry between you two.
hopefully there might be some more colaborations with you two on each others podacast 🥰
Fabi is so pleasant and well-spoken
Make more of these, a fantastic interview!
Great interviews excited to see the next ones
There's just something about Fabi you gotta love. He's like a zen master thats lived 100 lives already. He needs to finally embrace the Ricky Ricardo stache that keeps trying to break free. It wants t be free Fabi let it be free!
Such a chill GM
Fabi is such a cool personality, my chess coach has talked to him in the past and he says the same thing, talking to him is very fun
Keep em coming levy
Fabi looks like he's AI-generated 💀
Cause he is 😂
Kramnik: very interesting
WE NEED A TENNIS MATCH BETWEEN FABI AND HIKARU!!! Please set it up Levy 😱
The collab we didn’t know we needed
Levy is such a good interviewer

It will be amazing, if he has interviewed every player in the candidates
Fabi's voice...❤
Never fails to Kidnap GMs for Content
Levy and Fabi look so similar!! They could be brothers from another mother!!
Fabi is that quiet brainy kid in class everyone initially avoids. And then gradually over time wins everybody over one by one, and becomes extremely popular.
"there's always a price" xD
an excellent interview and fabi is a delight as a person
Great interview. Fabi is the most articulate, even-tempered, intelligent speaker in the chess world. I hope either he or Hikaru wins and then wins the world championship.

“Kramnik catches his opps lacking at the 2024 candidates tournament!”

Hikaru would be a Pina colada, for sure 😂
Gotham first got Magnus, then Hikaru, and now Fabiano lol
"Fabi, thank you so much, all the best in the tournament...
Get outta here!" 😉
he's the second calmest player next to aronian.
First interview I watch with Fabiano but you know what - I have a feeling he'd be a great musician.
definitely gonna be a torment for certain people
I have a lot of respect for this guy, always shows a lot of level headedness and composure, it's a shame he didn't get to become world champion at his peak because of a certain sauron of chess.
