Great game from Fabi I’m excited to see tomorrows game vs Gukesh . Gukesh is my favorite Fabi the favorite to win the game great challenge for Gukesh thanks for this game James hope we see more Epic Chess
Can please someone explain "mushrooms"? This is my favorite chess channel because of humor and references, even the more obscure fell into place after awhile, but "mushrooms" just remain mystery.
Also, no two anglophones pronounce Zugswang the same two ways. I think it's "Zooksvahng". I don't THINK I'm wrong. Oh, but here's a 1000 dollar word for you: "hyperforeignism". It's when the speaker of one language puts a characteristic sound of another language where it doesn't belong. Anglophones mostly commit hyperforeignsims with french words, and occasionly spanish words (like when people used to talk about habaniero peppers). But Zwischenzüg is a hyperforeignism. I say "intermezzo" because I'm a musician. German is for epistemology and other navel-gazing exercises. Blame Kant and Husserl.
This year's Tata Steel is everything wrong with invitationals. It's the WC, the world top 5 who bothered to show up, and after them, the mighty Vincent Keymer is the strongest of the designated chewtoys. And I have a hunch that he's only invited for his world-class butt kissing skills. The average world ranking for the RJR-Nabisco... sorry, I meant the Tata Steel invitees is like 50. I'm just going to watch Gukesh' games. He's at least got the excuse that as a new world champion, he HAS to put on a furious tournament pace.
lol flying high! (aka airplane staying alive) lol classic, was thinking lol maybe the comment about the player forgetting which way his pieces should go ends up with the starting position of the current law ;P of Modern starting positionally most energetically favorable backward wrong placement of chess playing I've ever seen lol sry champ your better ofc
6:45 "according to Eval Barovich" 👏👏👏
We should see more Fabi games, he’s world number 2!
I learn more from the "blunders" than the 99% accuracy guys. Thanks
Your pronunciation of Zwischenzug is surprisingly good, not dodgy at all.
Love to see the brie n chedda, classic as always.
Your breakdowns are LIGHTYEARS better than Gothamchess. You stay on topic and don't gloat non-stop.
Gothamchess is a little b
Hikaru on his Taylor Swift 💅
Culinary master class bind/eggs, cook book and chess? It’s the future
"Cool AF (as Fabi)"

Trees?
It would’ve been funnier if you just used the OG phrase
🤷🏿♂️
You may be new to epic cheese
I'm so glad you covered a Fabi game! He's my fave. Plus it's an excellent chance to use that stunning picture of Hikaru hanging out in Fabi's fro.
Kramnik : "I block and report" xD 4:00
😂😂😂

A very nice win by Fabi, and your usual epic cheese sauce. Thanks James.
double fian cheetos is the best play
Nearly at 100k subs, Epic! Been here since the first few. 100k sub special - one of your own games?
We need bloopers where you can’t stay in character. lol, or wait - is this who you truly are? 🤔

fiancheato? what is this? Brie and cheddar mate! Brie and cheddar!
Naka’s not going to make the cut for the boy band. They’re booting him for Max Warmerdam.
I'd pick alizera over hikaru for the boy band, with maybe hans neiman playing the robbie williams role.

It's funny because it's random IMHO
it was chess today
when for one rare instance an anglophone manages to pronounce an ü, it’s at the wrong occasion; there’s no ü in ‘zwischenzug’
admitted, it’s got some resemblance to ‘switzendütsch’ (and who knows how the Swiss would pronounce zwischenzug..?)
Also, no two anglophones pronounce Zugswang the same two ways. I think it's "Zooksvahng". I don't THINK I'm wrong.

@@jessejordache1869 haha, gotta love habaniero
Please make a collage video every so often of just the preambles you do LOL
The dutch band hahahah
Kramnik is the right choice to front the boy band.
WOW!! Epic game, I think this tournament is going to be AWESOME
Cool as Fabi, I like that 😄
You got me at 1:08 all those crazy moves!!
I love seeing Tata…..steel chess
almost as delicious as tartar sauce with fish
@@epicchess2021 I'm vegan
wtf ? ‘For anyone struggling with dementia, do not drink cold water !’ literally the opening phrase for an add right after this vid … ??
the hikaru picture😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
After the zwischenzug, (05:44) why not black bishop to A5?
Qxc4, QxQ, pxQ - still a bishop down
Mengis Kharlson no.3
Can you not add Eric Hansen to the boy band since he’s already in one?
is he lol!? 😂 news to me but if true I'm somehow not actually surprised, I can see him on guitar and Mic, Aman on drums 😆

Don’t get too excited about this being reality. It’s just a joke. There’s a boy band - Hanson.

If only all those arrows represented truly represented legal moves, chess would TRULY be epic! Fine analysis as usual, kind sir...
haha thanks a lot
