Buster Douglas. Chaminade. David. Fabi.

would love to see him on tournaments

Not bad for the third highest elo in history

Like a light breeze that's a slightly weird observation.. but thanks for not comparing him to a Bud light for instance

He is one of my favourite players. He does his best against more talented ( or lucky) players

That's fabi

Thats Fabi for ya

U mean calm af right?! 😂

lmao

great cheese move

😂😂😂

Mike is a funny guy, but he is so outclassed by Fabi here it hinders his trash talk 😂

"look he finally developed something" 😂 very funny, great chess.

dose guys were funny as hell!

"hey....you got other pieces!" 😂

Deese jokahs roasted him chru-out dis whole game.

@@anticarnick cringe

Too true. I see these people make moves that make no sense to me, but I know it's because they're just operating at such a higher chess level than me.

On same side castles, isn’t that the ‘best’ way to start an attack on the opponent king? But then again, I’m 800 rating for a reason 😂😂

@@ruiferreira9946, at least, get you center closed for the same-side attack. If your opponents gets to your king first, because you used your defense to attack, you're probably going to lose something.

it depends on your pawn structure and piece placement to decide your plan

He's stronger than coaches even

@@ruiferreira9946 it really depends on the position, but yeah mostly. g4 happens in basically every spanish opening game eventually

Fabi is a beast. If Magnus doesn't come back to World Cup I think Fabi will get a title at some point

@@mantizshrimpagreed would be cool to see it soon

Fabi is one of the best who ever lived, he’s just not one of the two or three best who ever lived 😅

​@@mantizshrimphans is the real goat

I feel like many people don't know just how strong Fabi actually is, happens to be just alive at the same time as Magnus

Yeah he did it for the premature attackulation

I'm still at that stage that I didn't even consider if it does anything because it sure as hell doesn't seem to lol

Don't you mean bishop attacking queen? I don't see white queen attacking black's

What friends are for

Two kinds of friends in this world "Damn bro, that sucks" "Damn bro, you suck"

Seriously! In fact, the rumor is that Mike never even got his jacket back!

If im not incorrect dude is a two time champion

You can’t tell anything about how good a chess player is based on physical appearance.

@@shaunakkulkarni4679 Nobody who wears glasses named "Fabiano" is below a 2700 elo in chess, it's just science.

​@@sullystpatrick Facts lol.

😂

He is a top player in the streets of NYC

@@Boruh179forever Fabi is 2nd in the world lol

​@@Boruh179foreverBetween streets of New York and top world players there is some gap 😉

@@leszeksokoowski9265 course, but the guy has been famous for a while

Michael Jordan famously had a 'love of the game' clause in his contract that allowed him to play basketball whenever and wherever he wanted without it impacting his contract. That's a good example of this kind of thing (most athletes have contracts that forbid stuff like that in case of injury).

Mate in 1, classic Mike😂😂😂

Because of that "mouseslip". Mike stabilized well after the early onslaught, even had a small advantage at some point. Then he made a bad move followed up by that slip

Innit, dude is playing against a former 2800, like maybe 3/4 people in the world can beat Caruana. I wanna see him against some 2000-2200s

@@georgeoshea9961 At first I read "maybe three quarters of the people in the world" and have to read again to get "three or four people" which makes a lot more sense!

@@georgeoshea9961 funny enough any gm, Im and even FM can beat him it just depends on the game you never know, it’s like you’re saying only Nepo, Ding , Magnus and Alireza can beat him which is ridiculous because you’re only looking at from a rating point of view but at the top level any gm can beat a gm especially if they are caught in a prep or a master studied his prep and try and refute it

@@princeantisocial do you have any idea how many times he’s been beaten or even held to a draw by an IM or FM? Do you know how many wins and few losses against top rated GMs you need to break 2800? When he was at his peak there was only one person in the world that would beat him at classical and he held him to 13 draws. Obviously chess players lose the odd game here and there against lower rated players, but you’re speaking as though it’s so common as to be a banality. Which records will show across the board, it’s not.

@@georgeoshea9961 No I’m not saying it’s common, I’m saying it’s possibly, people always speak on GMs “Super GMs” as if they’re not humans. Even the current world championships is showing lots of hiccups, all I’m saying is that,note that I did not say classical this goes for mostly blitz and bullet I mean we’re watching coffee chess here, is that he’s not unbeatable. Even GMs make mistakes too although very less common and very less likely

I agree. And I would recognize a lot of them, because I watch a lot of chess on youtube.

Prime example of the threat being more powerful than the attack... As they explained in the post game analysis.. having that pawn guarding g1 was way more powerful than winning a rook... And says a lot of how gms have a plan from very early once they see weak points on board

I agree my bet is that the next time they meet Boston Mike will win the game

@@monstermashed6266 LOL

@@monstermashed6266 LMFAO

As if the time odds wasn't giving it away anyway

Very cool! I wonder how they get so many great players? They might be paid appearances, doesn't matter I guess. They certainly made a nice niche for themselves as a chess youtube channel. When I first saw their channel, some years ago, it seemed a bit strange to see these (relatively) lower level chess players sorta acting like they were great players, but it's entertaining. And you gotta hand it to them, they are willing to play anyone, and do it with style, even when being very much outmatched. Watched a lot of their videos, so they must be doing something right :) Heck, they are kinda famous now, to people who watch chess online.

Yes

Yes

At this point word has spread and it would be weird to be among those top GMs that never did it.

I was wondering that myself until I saw the time handicap. He knew

He knew.

No way someone is that good at chess without at least knowing the top players, the number 2 no less.

If you don't know Fabiano Caruna, you probably don't follow chess much, agreed. After all, not too long ago, he was playing for the title.

Of course that's why they have a lot more of time on the clock

So true

that's a blunder, straight mate for black, Bishop G2, king cannot take G2 bishop or escape to G1
