I am not convinced with the Fabi case. f4 and f5 seemed so natural. The majority of the moves looked so natural to me. The time usage did not have a "cadence" as suggested. He spent half of his time on bishop a4 and f-pawn push. They are the big moments of the game. I am not convinced that he cheated.
If you look at any Magnus or Capablanca game all moves look natural as well. It doesn't mean that a random FM can play them consistently for 20 moves in a row.
@@tr4nnel752 Yeah but take a look at Eric Hansen versus 2500-2600 players for example. Eric knows no theory and is constantly outprepared and down 2 minutes on the clock versus 2500 and he always wins in the end. Fabi is much much stronger than Eric and this FM made him look like an amateur. It's not impossible that you are right, you could be, but to me it it is very unlikely.
I love that Hikaru agrees with and respects his tough competitors enough to basically say there's a huge gap in skill between an FM or even IM and Fabi or Hikaru.
Ye. The elo system is based off the idea that for every 400 points you should be 10x mor likely to win (so a 1400 is 10x more likely to win against a 1000 and a 1900 is 100x more likely to win against a 1100) by that logic looking at fide ratings fabiano should be at least 10x more likely to win and the multiple is even higher looking at chesscom ratings
9:20 That was odd indeed. Yet, his time usage is never 5 sec. per move (as Fabi claims), and the bold moves are classified by the engine as mistakes and inaccuracies
Same thing when Crybaby carlsen lost to Hans, he blamed him for cheating, because how else would someone so much lower rated be winning? And neither are banned, false accusations coming from ''top'' players who cry when they lose
@@gabrielandersson9858not the same case Hans has admitted to cheating in the past and magnus is the greatest player of all time he knew something was suspicious but till this day we will never know if Hans cheated or not no point in your comment besides hate
@@gabrielandersson9858 Hans couldn't go into details about his thinking (because he didn't think), and Magnus also commented that he never appeared to be in thought. If you can not explain your solutions, you have cheated. That's true in Math/Physics as well as for (high level) chess.
From perspective of player of similar strength to that FM (2400 elo), I would say that none of these moves were particularly suspicious. And with a little bit of time I could figure out them as well. F4 move is very logical, as black king is not very safe and you want to open up the position. SImilarly, F4-F5 plan is natural to stop black from playing F5. And do not forget that he was facing one of the best players of our times, so he could be stressed out and take more time than usual on his moves. I had similar situation when I once played Hikaru online.
@@zeimarunescapeNot sure he blunders, maybe he just liquidates to draw with insufficient material, seeing that he cannot keep up with time, and is in danger to lose on time. I do it all the time in blitz on my meager level. I can't move very fast, so if I don't see a clear mate in few moves with few seconds left, I'll just liquidate into draw, trying to get insufficient material on board
@@dmitripogosian5084 exactly as you said it. The guy that played this game is my close friend and I can assure you he didn't cheat. He sent the game to me the moment the game ended and said the last few moves he played were just to secure the draw since his biggest weakness is that he's slow compared to the other blitz players, and he had 2 seconds on his clock.
Fabiano played a bad opening and got punished. Time usage was not every five seconds per move as he suggested. And it is very natural to get nervous in time trouble. He had less than 5 seconds at the end so blunders happen. At the end we need more games of this player to make conclusions so let's not ruin someone's reputation.
There should be absolutely no tolerance for cheating ... it kills the game !!! Almost every day I get a message on the server that I got back some points because someone had cheated against me. This is ridiculous! Even one instance of cheating and that account and person should be banned for life !!!
Perhaps in analysing this, great players should take into account the psychological barrier to beating them. It could easily be that a lesser player is unable to follow through with a clearly winning situation against a Hikaru or a Fabiano because they can't believe they are actually doing it.
I think this is one of the occasions where there were some clear pawn pushing opportunities that looked interesting and white basically just played them, trying to pressure the opponent on time. None of these moves looked too weird to me frankly. Especially the pawn pushes, I could definitely see even a lesser player going for these. Didn't look very suspicious to me :/
To be honest this is one of the least compelling cheating accusations I've seen. Seems well within reason for a 2500 to play these moves with that timing on their own. Obviously, there's a huge gap in skill between Fabi and this player but not large enough where it's impossible for this guy to put a solid game together and be winning/not lose.
I think fabi is right, He was once rated 2844 for a reason. He has played many accurate games while competing with sone of the highest rated gms, and has far greater chess knowledge than we have, He could sense if his opponent is cheating
One thing to consider about "1 in 100" or even "1 in 1000" chances is that there are many games played on Titled Tuesday. If there are a few hundred games per round, and 11 rounds, and 2 Titled Tuesdays per day...there are thousands of games every Tuesday. It makes sense that at least one of those would be unusual. A 1 in 10,000 chance would seem as likely or not, each Titled Tuesday. Of course, probability doesn't explain everything, but it is something to consider. (If anyone has the numbers for the typical number of competitors, that would make these calculations more meaningful)
I got this game on my cell phone from mutual friend, who I share with the guy who almost beat Fabi, he's croatian FIDE master and I assure you that he didn't cheat. Whole group chat wen't crazy two weeks ago when our friend sent it and we were amazed that our compatriot had Fabi on the ropes.
1:15 I thought all three are in conference and I was shocked that how the video is playing if at bottom right the video is paused then I got what is happening
recently i played a game against someone im certain was cheating he had 99.3% accuracy and was using the same amount of time for every move looking at his other games it doesnt seem like he cheated against anyone else i still havent gotten my elo back from losing to the cheater
I know someone who is not even a CM, but he knows a line with different variances very well, he plays it at a GM level. He has a lot of games with > 99% accuracy, he even beat some GMs and super GMs in that line. If he plays other line, he is an average player. He was reported foe cheating several times, but his account was never blocked since it is clear that a cheater would not blitz the first 20 moves of a game.
d5, f4/f5, Ba4 etc all seem like normal legit moves go me. They would all be candidate moves for me and I'm like 2000. The main point is that there aren't really any other good/attacking moves so if course you will consider d5 and f4/g4. I don't understand why naka called them out. Same with the time usage. he took 5-10 seconds longer on some moves which is nothing suspicious. If fabi didn't call it out and naka went through the game I bet he wouldn't have suspected a thing..
This is a normal game, d5 and f5 are first candidate moves to consider because the opponent have the king in the center. I don't see anything weird on it.
The real problem, good players might only need 1 or 2 computer moves to draw when lost, win when even I'm not a tournament player, only about 1900 in lichess, but I've played games to 98 percent, which I suppose is easier since everyone I play is also in my range, playing moves with obvious answers
i am not a super gm, but this game aside from f4 did nto look to sus to me. and him not finding best moves on 5s time pretty much pre moving everything is also not an indicator
People who claim something odd about something happening 1:100 times should not be playing poker, i've seen stuff that is mathematically impossible from their perspective happen more times than i can remember, its definetly more than 100 times i've seen people have 0.1% or less in a hand and still win. Its improbable, not impossible.
If i played GM of course i need engine from move 1, but if i played agains same level, i just need one or two moves at critical positions and it was enough to give advantage. This one or two moves are cheatting and it will not get caught. So ironic
I doubt this is the game Fabiano was referring to, but time pressure or no, I’m no FM but I saw the move Rxh7+ immediately. So strange that was missed.
I've seen Eric Rosen, who's higher rated than this guy, blundering his queen in a rapid game for several moves in a row to a basic tactic. His opponent (also like 2300-2400) missed it, too. So no, it's not actually that strange. It's just much easier to backseat. Time pressure and mental fatigue are real.
This same opponent is also featured in a YT video from last year on Magnus’ channel called something like “Magnus is surprised when opponent sacrifices bishop” or something. Hella sus.
If that's the correct game it really doesn't seem too credible as cheating. Lots of fast moves mixed in with some slower thinking, nothing like the "consistent 5-6 seconds" fabi was claiming. Hikaru didn't seem to jump on any of the moves in particular as being super strange either. Seems more likely a good game by the FM who then got nervous and blundered in time trouble 🤷♂️
Caruana didn't make serious proplems for the other player And the 20 moves were very opvious so that 2400 can find it It was easy game even for me 2200. Because caruana didn't play well at all
As a 2300 myself, I completely disagree that a 2500 played like that against fabiano, all the moves were completely logical and not computer-like. Hikaru's constant astonishment of him not playing fxg6 is completely ridiculous, allowing the g file to open instead of trading everything and going f6 to lock the rook is something I saw before it happened. Time usage is completely normal, Ba4 taking 44 seconds was clearly him trying to figure out the difference between Ba4 and Bd3. f5 was forced otherwise black gets f5 himself. A lot of these moves were forced and had very little alternatives so I believe this is just Fabiano being salty that he played such a terrible opening. Yes he played a lot of perfect moves but there were really very little logical alternatives
He sensationalized a lot of these moves when there was really nothing to it. Those allegedly "strong" pawn moves are very sensible given the weakness of Fabi's king. He also deliberately glossed over some of the weaker moves by white that gave Fabi chances to get back in the game. It was far from a perfect game or playing 1st/2nd engine line. I don't know if Hikaru picked the wrong game or Fabi's memory of this game is different, because this doesn't line up with Fabi's description of what went down. The time of the moves varied a lot too.
I’m a patser, but this looks legit to me. I didn’t like most of Fabi’s moves when he was already under pressure and using the pawns to expose the king seems quite logical. I would even go that if this level of play is not achievable as an FM, then what are we even doing.. Still a huge fan of fabi though, and what do I know after all.
If an opponent is actually strong enough to find the best line half of the time, that still makes in one in a million to find the best move for 20 moves in a row. So one in a million is still overestimating the actual chance of this happening.
Some of you are delirious. On a move by move basis, no move seems overly incredible, but when all of the moves culminate into a complete strategical domination of Fabiano Caruana to the point where he doesn’t know wtf is going on (performed by someone 600 elo lower than him)… the player cheated end of story.
its not sign of a cheating when someone plays one or few games way beyond they normal, happens me frequently one of the reasons i dont play COD anymore as they cheat enginge thinks im cheating when that happens its just taxing to focus 110 and go beyond limits and when you get punished for that, it hurts like hell just note that im not saying the he was not cheating, just that its not sign of cheating when you go beyond
I dunno, I saw most of the moves in a second and I'm like 1900-2000 on lichess. this game doesnt look complicated to me. I'm surprised one of the players was Fabi, looks like one of my games
He blurred the name and then exposed the name 😂

Why did Eddie refuse to spell his last name out loud? Because he didn't want to E-D-I-E of embarrassment!
Wow how did u figure that out ?? Its blurred in the video
@@roydondsa Hikaru said it out loud in this video
Is it just me, or does the song at the beginning of Hikaru’s videos sound a little like “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin?
I blame the internets
Garry training Croatians now
Blurring out the name and calling it out is baller
question hikaru are you going on kick?
Magically blunders start appearing 😂😂
Time 11:10, the name of the cheater appears fo half second LUL
Love the hair of hikaru now fr..
If an opponent is actually strong enough to find the best line half of the time, that still makes in one in a million to find the best move for 20 moves in a row. So one in a million is still overestimating the actual chance of this happening.
Some of you are delirious. On a move by move basis, no move seems overly incredible, but when all of the moves culminate into a complete strategical domination of Fabiano Caruana to the point where he doesn’t know wtf is going on (performed by someone 600 elo lower than him)… the player cheated end of story.
hikaru youre so cool youre the reason that i played chess❤❤❤❤
Cheater in Titled Tuesday!! But maybe not…
Honestly doesn't look suspicious to me, but what do I know
In june 15 i played 15 games and i didn't play any till now.
Looks away .. WHAT
What, indeed.
eddy marsala moment...
dunno the game doesn't look suspicious at all to me
Does Hikaru sometimes and a little bit… sound like Alan(Jon Cryer) from two and a half men
its not sign of a cheating when someone plays one or few games way beyond they normal, happens me frequently
one of the reasons i dont play COD anymore as they cheat enginge thinks im cheating when that happens
its just taxing to focus 110 and go beyond limits and when you get punished for that, it hurts like hell
just note that im not saying the he was not cheating, just that its not sign of cheating when you go beyond
The moves was so obvious I could found some of them he 8s not just a random player he is FM
And fabi was careless
FM Eddie Marsalla think he stockfish
I dunno, I saw most of the moves in a second and I'm like 1900-2000 on lichess. this game doesnt look complicated to me. I'm surprised one of the players was Fabi, looks like one of my games
Hikaru don't shave your face with beard looks classic..
What was the name of the suspected cheater?
C square podcast ....nice i watch them too...
he isnt a cheater he has played as recently as the 20th (as of this comment). He just got lucky.
The name reveals on transition change multiple times. Why blur it if you aren't blurring it
For those who are searching the cheater's name : Eddie Marsalla
Thank you for letting everyone know who it is, after Hikaru said the name in the video, it's almost like you tried to help out!
There is zero evidence this guy cheats, I think fabi and hikaru should only make these claims about more clear cases.
