Positional masterpiece. One little mistake with the knight and that was it
Thank you! Fabi's game are becoming more and more spectacular.
Sorry but just too LONG; cut the commentary and try to keep these vids to under 10 minutes.
#suggestion. Agad, can you show the time control and clock time of the moves. Will let us know how long it took for the players to make a move and the critical moments they went into deep thought.
B vs N clinic.
Great endgame play by Fabi.
Maghsoudlo against Petrosian?!
Are you kidding me?
Fabi deserve wold championmm
What a game! Felt really proud of myself cos I thought I had the pause the video moment and I'd just found the Darda v Shakriyar one…
🔻PAUSE THE VIDEO KIND OF SPOILER AHEAD:🔻
So, am I missing something or does Bc7 also work at the pause the vid moment? Doesn't seem to leave the black King with any useful moves and then the white King can go Kc3 and black's Knight has to move away from defending the a5 Pawn… I'm not seeing a way for the black Knight to either get back to its defense or to threaten white's pawn on g3, but I'm guessing I'm not seeing something.
Thank you on a great analysis (as always!), I hope to see more of Fabi's games in future. It's usually a tense positional battle till the very last move, thrilling to watch.
Also, I would like him to win the tournament, I'm joining to "Team Fabi" here – with respect to all the other great players participating there!
why not Ke3?
I found Be3 but my calculation was completely different😂
Great vid as ever.
Can you show the classical game you mentioned you played recently?
Alternative title: "The blockage of the king!" – 9:10: Just beautiful to see how Fabi stops the black king from reaching the left side and then forcing him back 🤌👌
Also great finish. Overall great game! Perfect coverage from Antonio! 👍 should be a game for chess teachers to use.
Fabi is a surgeon of chess
I think the only takeaway of how this video could help me in my games is realizing that Knight vs bishop end games are hard and that maybe I just need to get the easier end games down first (like rook or queen) lol.
I am always impressed by Antonio skill to pronounce names of polish players properly hah
I'm analyzing 46. e5 rather than Be5 and think that it trades 1-2 tempi for Fabi but Swiercz ends up spending more moves to get around or capture a more defensible e5 pawn. Anyone else see that?
Not my favourite opening,i find it rather dull after 40 years of playing chess😊
At 8:22 I would have forked the queen and king with knight to f4 which sacrefices for a past pawn and exposes the king. Then I may fork the king and queen again after pawn takes. lol.
Fabi is better than Dariusz in the same way that the bishop is better than the knight.
Dariusz looks like if Mr. Beast and Carl had a son
Long viseos are boring mate ❤
I tried this once before……. for those of us not really possessed with detailed knowledge of the featured players, it would be nice to know what country they represent.
Pause the video moment was a zugswang as u can't waste tempo with a knight
Nice Game Fabiano knew what moves to make it reminded me of the game it either Fabiano or Alireza where he ended up checkmating his opponent with just a knight and Bishop Not hard to tell the GMs know which moves to make and what it takes to win thanks for the game Agadmator

yo, great game
That end game calculation is just GODLY!
12:21 … after King E6, why doesn't King F4 win the game for white?
I'm a Nube, can someone explain it to me.
Hi, please give us the game Levon Aronian Vs Hans Nieman.
Jeez playing super high rated players are crazy at end games..unless it’s clear cut I have major problems defending this stuff.
#suggestion Sam Shankland vs Leinier Dominguez Perez from round 5 today. It has a shocking turn of events in a drawn rook endgame where a hard to find only move was missed.
The Spanish opening is sooooo boring. The Italian Game is where all the fun is at.
the title is so true…
#suggestion Wesley So VS Abhimanyu Mishra | US Championship 2023 | Round 5
gg
Fabi taking the juices 😂
Any chance there's an explanation for why Antonio stopped unplugging and replacing the USB chess piece during the pause the video moment?
Agad chess dedicated to magnus chess..
Spot on analogy to how Magnus plays. He boils down what would seem to be a complex position into a simplistic concept which has one key idea that will produce victory if properly executed. In this game it was pawns on same color squares as the opposing bishop. It always seems so intuitive in hindsight, but yet takes a highly tuned chess mind to actually exploit such ideas.
At 15:44 an interesting option for black is Nd2 instead of Nc1. If Bxd2, it's a stalemate! So perhaps Bxa5 and Nxc4. It's still a white win, I believe, but a trickier one than the game continuation.
I can beat these two guys playing in snake and ladders
I am still catching up with your 7 years ago videos. You are amazing
Fabi's calculations 🥶
