[@devadathans5506]

Fabi took the loss personally and decided to become Fabifish 13.0.

[@Splitlickity]

Plus, he probably wasn’t going 100% with prep and lines and such in the first game, since it’s casual. Then all bets are off lol

[@devadathans5506]

@@Splitlickity Yeah. You can see the moment when Fabi spends a few seconds more calculating in depth detecting something went wrong for the IM and the very same move, the eval bar had gone down.Speed chess is not even Fabi's forte, but still playing at this time odds speak volumes of his actual strength.

[@gavinjones8543]

Yep he is a legend and a warrior of the game!

[@SerLaama]

​@@Splitlickity He played an offbeat sideline in this game, one he sometimes plays for fun.

[@Ebobster]

Fabi is a masterful Chessplayer and gentleman, but bravo to Ruthless Robert for nicking one and nearly holding his own in the other tough battle

[@jsj297]

You made Fabi have to put his GM Hat on at least! Great game! 😊

[@kulaaofficial]

Man fabi is so likeable, what a cool humble dude

[@bmikesmellz9244]

I was never a fan of Fabiano but after watching him play against the child, he won me over, such a gentleman and just a good person

[@waliaowee]

Not bad, u can see fabi putting more effort in this game 😁

[@rogerfederer1519]

Fabi has complete control on the game, from start to finish.

[@dimanhdc1993]

Robert say "one more" cuz ...?

[@jrock2460]

He didn’t put more effort into the game. He’s playing at 5:2 time odds. He’s many levels above Robert, but 5:2 creates lots of opportunities for a strong player like Robert.

[@liljackypaper]

​@@jrock2460I definitely think he concentrated harder after the first loss. Who wouldn't?

[@---Vector]

Now Fabi has shown his power.

[@carlosedwardos]

He is not a Russian IM, he is on team USA for many years now - the 79th best player in America, actually!

[@tayzonday]

Isn’t Robert in the top-2000 in world rankings himself?

[@tarunprabhu2562]

The IM beat the GM in a game CHOCOLATE RAIN

[@adamethans8055]

[@carlosedwardos]

he is just barely inside the top 1500 in world ranking (among active players)

[@pepperwestwood]

Some checkmate and others feel the pain.

[@tayzonday]

@@carlosedwardos So this game is the top 0.0000001875% of the human population on the left VS the top the top 0.00000000125% of human population on the right - with regard to tracked chess ability.

[@mrnobody5763]

First game was in a completely winning position and did a blunder that the other guy exploit greatly, but in both games it's clear how Fabi is a player of a total different league.

[@robertgelblum5154]

Fabi got his revenge but Robert keeps showing that he is a dangerous opponent for anyone.

[@bazookah187]

After the game, Robert is visually nervous and jittery while holding his coffee lol Very intense game!

[@mannygarcia7777]

Robert is awesome!! So humble

[@Roybatty066]

Fabi turned into Sub-Zero fast.

[@allanrmos6488]

1st game is due to imbalance time, but still manage a strong openning

[@jeffdavidson9459]

Brian, your commentary missed the beautiful point of fabiano's game ending Rd2, while it's true, lateral moves are hard to see, the bishop is lost even with best play since leaving the a2 diagonal hangs the queen. best,

[@Iamwood1005]

After First game fabi got so mad he had to summon all his grandmaster jutsu , and GMs around the world started donating their jutsu, i saw Naroditsky's yellow jutsu, wesley's blue jutsu, ding's purple jutsu, nepo's red jutsu, hikaru's green jutsu, carlsen's black jutsu, Finegold's gold jutsu, anish's orange jutsu, nihal's gray jutsu, pragna's silver jutsu, eric's white jutsu. All just to beat Robert... But little did Fabi knew that behind Robert there was an army of extraordinary chess masters too including a legion led by agadmator, levy, eric, vidith, sagar, nelson, anna, nemo, botez sisters, alessia, alina. This was a legendary battle.

[@alexk798]

Fabi is ZEN, Zen is FABI!

[@colbert6122]

At 5:50, why didn't fabi play Be2, attacking the queen? And at 6:15, would best move for white be Re2?

[@CrazyLinguiniLegs]

At 5:50 if black Be2, white sidesteps that attack with Qe1. Fabi did the best move (according to computer analysis) with Bh6. At 6:15 white Re2 would be a blunder. Black bishop takes the white queen. If white rook then takes black queen, black rook takes white rook. So white ends up trading a queen and a rook for just a queen.

[@ThoriumFluoride]

😂😂

[@peterwieser4631]

Very generous of Fabi to silently give Robert the sage advice to stay in school and forgo the arduous ( unpaid ) training to become a GM only to be rewarded to have to face off and win against Caruana at even time odds in order to make significant money. No diss at Robert intended, its amazing he's made IM while juggling school IMHO.

[@myke5696]

Can't win em all! Good fight - I'm guessing Robert played c5 to keep game interesting instead of trying for a draw
