17 Year Old Ruthless Russian IM STUNS GM Fabiano Caruana! IM Ruthless Robert vs GM Fabiano Caruana

This might be the most impressive win he's ever had on the channel. At the end there was no time advantage left and Fabi had a better position but Robert saw the blunder and instantly punished it for a win.

[@prbprb2]

Robert was losing, and Fabi blundered. Not hard to do, when you start off with 40% of the opponents time. What impresses me more, was that Fabi was making consistently good moves until he made a mistake.

Ruthless Robert is definitely a various dangerous opponent for anyone in blitz chess. Well done, Robert!

[@richardsrandomadventures]

can you imagine how happy he must be to win against a super gm? the time odds weren't crazy either, they both had a minute at one point. what a great achievement.

[@yonaeb]

being down 3 minutes against a gm strength player is a huge disadvantage. Thats the only way the IM can hope to win against a super gm

[@eizendragon5141]

i believe that this is his 2nd W against super GM. he got a dub from Hikaru

[@TheAluvisify]

The time odds were pretty crazy though? They weren't 1 to 5 minutes, but, in all fairness, only a handful of GMs can give those kinds of time odds to an IM. But 2 to 5 minutes is still a huge disadvantage. Otherwise, Black's position would've just collapsed under time pressure.

[@ApricotieHunt]

@@yonaeb Not the only way, in a blitz a lot depends on your shape and mood. Also anyone sometimes blunders in blitz. Good IM vs GM will have his share of wins on the distance. It can even be mathematically calculated

[@weray7605]

Has Robert earned his first GM Norm yet? Also, how's his classical-time strength? So many good young players these days get so caught up in Blitz that they spend too little time really preparing for middle-game play in classical time control.

[@mikecantreed]

Why do people talk about GM norms when they watch someone play blitz? That’s like saying the high school basketball star is ready for the nba bc he’s good at free throws

[@hazelhumor]

​@@mikecantreed well, maybe because winning a blitz game to a top GM might be representative of your level. I'd say it's more like winning a 3-Point contest to a top NBA shooter when you're playing in G League.

[@JAMAHLEE]

@@hazelhumor I agree with you. But don’t forget Fabi gave time odds here.

[@iluvatarchem]

Blitz will be the norm an a few years anyway. New players are getting stronger and stronger exactly because they play more blitz.

[@igIooo]

@@mikecantreed terrible comparison. pretty telling of your iq

[@soakedbearrd]

What a game. One thing about Robert, this game showed his ability to take pressure and defend. Funny when I saw that he took back pawn with his f pawn instead of queen, I was surprised, but on deeper look it made sense. In the end, having that file open won him the game.

[@marcduffy1792]

Thanks!

[@matusmarcos]

That was crazy, is good watch the greatest players sharing time with fans. Grat video guys.

[@ippimerawr]

Comments are misleading, Fabi was better the entire game but then made a blunder and lost. You'd think he was outplayed from start to finish judging by these comments.

[@donquixote8462]

Yeah ... people are quick to make hyperbolic statements. Fabi was not overly concerned with managing his clock well either. He was in pure casual mode.

[@JMarin-bk1ft]

The woman in the background is in love with the curly guy. Another victory for Fabi.

[@jamesg1425]

Blitz is definitely not Fabi's strong point, but he did win the candidates tournament and achieved world rank #2, really incredible achievements. Fabi was the first American player to compete for the title since Fischer I believe, thanks for taking the USA to the championship! I remember watching it on Twitch it was a blast. Nice game Robert GM title coming your way!

[@TheAluvisify]

I mean, blitz is definitely not Fabi's strongest format, but he was still giving time odds here.

What's most impressive to me was how quickly Robert took advantage if Fabis misstep. He saw it instantaneously. What a game!

[@doktordzoni]

Robert is a BEAST!

[@jurjenvanderhoek316]

All respect to Caruana. By sitting down at Coffee Chess, he voluntarily takes the risk of losing a game and his reputation. It is so easy to make a little mistake, even if you are much better than your opponent.

[@---Vector]

Fabiano will not lose any reputation. It's just fun and relaxing. Anyway, it was probably hard for him to concentrate, because he could feel the eyes of a pretty brunette on him.

[@martinblack781]

These are not rated games

[@christhompson9140]

I don't think your rep can be damaged when you are playing a ton of games with massive time disadvantages. No one would expect him to win everytime, he is able to make bad mistakes which cost him.

[@Foxtrottangoabc]

Good spot :)

[@jrock2460]

The only people who would think his reputation is at stake when losing at 5:2 time odds are people who don’t really matter. Anyone that understands the game knows that Robert is too strong an IM to give those time odds to. It’s Fabi practicing. He didn’t lose. He’s smart enough to not care about folks that THINK he did.

[@TheBrooch]

Replay great game. Fabi had it the whole time. Loved how Black's bishop was doing nothing even though it had the diagonal and all the black squares.

[@ApricotieHunt]
