Fabi is a Monster World No. 2 and is *likely a World Champion* in most eras. He just happens to be in *Magnus's* era; The *most competitive era* due to the aggregate accumulation of games, computers/engines, strongest Super GM's, etc.
@@michaelsdenney I agree. When his career is done in 10-15 years it will be clear. My Top-5 All-time are: (1) Magnus, (2) Kasparov, (3) Fischer, (4) Capablanca & (5) Morphy.
Fabi is great and I love him, but his weakness is shorter time formats is a big shortcoming... at classical he's one of the best in his era, esp at opening prep. but cant really play rapid, blitz etc at a GOAT level. am glad hes regained his form, but i think currently wesley so is a better player.
9:55 - Regarding capturing the knight, I think a better move for white in the position might be to play Nh6 and allow the queen to be captured. After gxh5, you could regain the queen by playing Nf7+ with a fork, and after the knight was captured you'd have equal material, but black's pawn structure would be shattered whereas white's pawns would still be one contiguous whole. If I were playing white, I'd like my chances in that position.
Good catch, but I feel like those two pawns in the centre aren't that strong with so few pieces remaining, I think it would be much harder to push them, but its an advantage regardless.
That was my first thought as well but after consideration: why to trade queens? Engine thinks Qf3 is better and white has some advantage left while Nh6 line is dead equal.
The reason Nh6 isn’t very good is because you’d be trading down into an opposite color bishop endgame, which is almost always a dead draw with equal material. Black’s passed pawn on b3 also slows all ideas of pushing your own pawn chain. When you’re pushing for a win, you never want to trade down like this unless you’re certain that it’s winning.
9:20 Pause-The-Video: I actually didn't pause it; I just instinctively-and/or-luckily picked the right move in three seconds--because I'm reckless and stupid. Maybe I should just start playing Lichess with that no-think strategy.
For the first time in my life I almost immeditely spotted the pause the video move. I remember solving a similar looking puzzle on Chesstempo once. Good stuff!

its really instructive how fabi didnt grab the dark square bishop right away with the knight, i mean, your central blockade is on light squares and you have a light square bishop so blacks dark square bishop stands unopposed. it can be an excellent attacker on c5 targeting f2 and the king or an excellent defender on f8 defending g7 and h6. honestly tho, wouldnt 95% of us (including me) just grab the bishop bc lets face it, from a distant perspective, thats a scary piece
14:31 a more brutal mate for white is Rg7 followed by Nf7. If Black Rf8, white still plays Nf7+. Black Rxf7 - White Pxf7 and there is no stopping pawn promotion Pf8/Q#
On to wie bo pare odcinków wcześniej mówił Swierc na niego i ktos mu w komentach opisal poprawna wymowe i zeby ludzie wiedzieli jak sie mowi to zmienił podpis ;)
So difficult for top players to remain error free and wins games against such tough competition. Fabi and Ding stumbled ever so slightly and it is noteworthy which really highlights the consistency with which Magnus plays. Hats off to Fabi.
I'm also a fan of b4, having played the Polish opening fairly extensively and the Evan's Gambit as well, but what's b4 to is f5 to me because it can be played effectively with both colours. I'm also a Bird fan 😉

#suggestion Please can you tell Magnus to do a blindfold chess tournament? He will listen to you. I want to see super GM do blindfold. Love your channel btw ❤
After pawn takes knight, queen takes pawn, rook blocks the attack, you give Qe5 check. If black blocks with the rook or the queen, then you sac your queen to take that piece with check. Black has to take your queen with the remaining heavy piece or Qg7 is mate. Now their pieces are scattered, and rook b8 is an unstoppable back rank If black runs their king to g8 you play Rg7 check, threatening to take the rook and then play Qg7 mate. It’s mate in 3. The longest black can survive is Kf8, e7 Ke8, exd8=Q+ Kxd8, Qb8#

4:32 “fabi has a monster knight, a monster bishop, …” and he played the greatest move known to white b4 in the opening

@@elakstein CONTINUATION SCHMUCKINUATION!!!1!! PawnStorm FTW!!
(sry too much whiskey.)
Very instructional and another good comeback by Fabi -- to recover from those 2 back to back losses.
Agadmator, your videos are the best!!! So glad I get to experience this channel, with your immense knowledge in chess! Cheers
Awesome format for Intro, opening, brand new game, the finish after resignation, and Outro on the scroll bar.

Caruana didn't come to this game to win. He came to utterly brutalize his opponent, and my goodness did he succeed.

I was wondering if anybody spotted that one..
Thanks agad for making my Sunday’s better as always!
15:05 Stop! Stop! He's already dead!
Thanks for showing the full ending solution for amateurs like myself
I like it when the games is finished during your video sessions...
Great game! That so improved my Sunday!
B4 great move.Dariuz on the other side of the table even better than b4.
Saw the thumbnail, had to watch immediately. I usually save these videos for sunrise coffee
At 14.53 time, we can win by this variation also
1. Nf6+ Kf7
2. Nxe8 +-
By the way nice explanation brother.
Only youtuber whoes video I don't like to skip even a second!😊
Yes "Sorry about that" we get in this video 😀
Dariusz’s surname is Swiercz, not Schwierz - just so you know

Amazing game and good analysis as well

After a long time, you have said that magical "sorry about that'' line
Ofcourse he is going to win after Pawn to b4.
That's the good stuff.

I even feel bad for asking you to do this on a Sunday 😆
When You Absolutely Have to Win ... Giri: "Draw?"
that white pawn on h6 with the assist
C4..its ALWAYS explosive!
Nothing fancy, just a demonstration of incredible chess strength. Beautiful game!
❤
Why are you sorry? It's not your fault he played the English!
Hilarious
You should only apologize when they play the Canadian opening!
Fast forward and now Fabi just lost 4 out of 7 games. Really tough to see him collapse like that
It's gonna be a long road to 2800 now
What is his current live rating?
@@chesspositions8063 around 2789
@Swordsman thanks
9:00 I thought Antonio is messing with us and it's just h6 :D
I can't believe it. Every time you say to find the move that wins I normally fail. This time that you said it was hard I immediately found it lol
Oh wow BEAUTIFUL game
Top game - thanks Antonio.
Happy Sunday Agad!
Another great warstory 🙌
Wonderfully played game by Fabi, showing exactly why he was the candidate last time.
❤
Beautiful game/endgame.
I would've traded the strong knight and pawn for the rook as soon as it moved into the king's territory
❤
That rook was way to passive after the white queen retreated from g4, trading it for the knight was it’s only redemption.
As a Pole I have to give you a credit for such a clean pronounciation of Świercz's name 😉
Świercz not Schwierz
This is a perfect lesson of how to play white. Exploit your initiative and gain just a little more space than black as you head into the middle game.
Beautiful game
That was like watching a lion chase down a giselle, grabbing it by the neck, and choking it to death.
man i feel real good when i see a move that is supposedly a "very hard move to see"
Such a beautiful game!
GM name is Dariusz Świercz he is polish but curently playing for US
I feel bad for asking you to find this move on a Sunday...Thank you Agadmator!
Fabiano playing for the win…. As the Man says…. And playing brilliantly.
Writing Schwierz instead of Świercz is kinda painful
zgoda
Great game!
This is beautiful 💜

Fabi is my favorite player. We have so many greats in the US now that it's remarkable. Good luck to all.
Money can buy almost any thing.
wow! just wow! AlphaZero's style fingerprints all over this game. Just wow!
You mean Dariusz Świercz ;)
Agad rage continues..
Games like this show you why Fabi was world #2 for a long time. Wont be surprised if gets his ranking back. Lets go Fabi ! 😤

13:37 why not capturing the knight? The rock can block the queen's attack
After pawn takes knight, queen takes pawn, rook blocks the attack, you give Qe5 check.
If black blocks with the rook or the queen, then you sac your queen to take that piece with check. Black has to take your queen with the remaining heavy piece or Qg7 is mate. Now their pieces are scattered, and rook b8 is an unstoppable back rank
If black runs their king to g8 you play Rg7 check, threatening to take the rook and then play Qg7 mate. It’s mate in 3. The longest black can survive is Kf8, e7 Ke8, exd8=Q+ Kxd8, Qb8#
At 12:55, would Qc3 be also winning for white?
Thumbnail contains an image of Fabiano. Me: Sunday Improved
"And that's it"
8:31
Why not Nxh6? If Rxg4 then Nxf7+ Kg8/Kg7, Nxd8 Rxd8, Rxb3. White ends up with 2 pawns.
Can u put the link of the Abc's chess !?
"Our good friend the pawn"
Haha you feel bad about asking us to find the move on a Sunday
OK you get an A++ just for your outstanding pronunciation of the names!
I guess that's the difference between having a slip and actually slipping. Fabi is really strong.
Sotto like the Evans gambit
I can’t be the only one to wonder what Agadmator is doing in the beginning, In almost every video, when he bends over and say “sorry about that”?
Our good friend the pawn
I like how Agadmator makes friends out of pawns :)
