I have something in common with Fabi!

[@mpop1983]

I was watching live today the event. Match up Levon Fabi was breathtaking, chess 960 leaves so much space for creativity , mindbloggimg calculations and unexpected outcomes. Engines still do not understand completely the game. Definitely fantastic interlude for future competitions in this format and the popularity

[@LukeLongboneOfficial]

Thank you Bobby Fischer for inventing the game that invalidates chess engines. For now.

[@aronuchukwuezugo615]

Engines only understand the game after both sides have castled, or moved their king or moved both rooks

I can't believe Fabi stole my blunder-the-rook move.

Fisher random is a completely different beast. You can see so many more mistakes. Really interesting.

So the result between Fabi and Levon: Fabi blunders a full Rook in two of their games and emerged victorious. Thank you Antonio ❤️

Agad I think for future tournaments it's great doing a recap on more than 1 game per video, a 30-40min video with 3-5 games is so much better

I want Double Fischer Random Chess!!! Pieces are set up according to Chess960 rules, however unlike Fischer Random Chess, black and white have different starting positions. It has 921,600 (960*960) possible starting positions.

Fabi was winning in 6 out of 7 games and managed to defeat himself twice.

[@peterharband326]

Thanks Antonio. You're a buddy.

[@vijaygarv]

That Levon vs Caruana series was one of the best sets of chess I’ve seen in recent times. So much hype.

[@stilloutside]

40min special ❤❤❤...

[@waynejohnson1075]

Match of the Millenium!! Sure, there have been better games with higher accuracy and engine-like precision. But, These were all in one day. Back to back. Each with a different starting position. Diminishing time on the clocks. Blow for blow action. Mistakes, misses and slips. Watching it live (on delay) was EPIC!! My heart rate cleared 120 bpm and I was seated in my comfy armchair with a beer I am honoured to have witness it. Thanks

[@namikazeswapnil671]

It's official now that fabi is indeed the 2nd best player in the world. Actually challenging magnus in various top level tournaments since last 8-9 years.

Why Nordirbek not leave Queen on C2 so dark bishop defended and can push pawn for discovery and win queen with bishop skewering black Q and K?

Agadmator rocks

[@michaelbrowder1759]

HR 170 bpm--this is why chess is sometimes in the sports section of a newspaper

[@rohithbhandari7836]

How does your interface allow you to castle for chess 960 ?

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Levon played very competitively vs Fabi Blundering two Rooks would raise anybody’s blood pressure im sure it had something to do with that 170 rating This style play must even confuse these GMs to a point Thanks for the Games Agadmator I hope Fabiano keeps it Competitive vs Magnus it should be even though seems Magnus just Rolling along Have a Great Day

[@Tommy.Bond007]

I appreciate your feedback

[@mariofox8377]

3:15 How exactly does castling works in Fischer random?? I thought you move the king to squares towards the tower and jump the tower to the other side??? Its obviously different here. Any clarifications??

[@Noneusertaken]

As long as King and Rook have uninterrupted path towards each other and their respective square, they can castle.

[@jansen7124]

King and rook end up on the same position as they would in normal chess

[@mao-janlin6751]

In chess960, the king and the rook end up in the same position as normal chess. What you said is the castling rule of chess480, where king moves two squares to the edge and the rook jump beside the king. There are less possible starting position in chess480, because the castling is symmetric, so there are mirrored starting position. While the chess960 gets asymmetric castling.

[@odinniereece4096]

For the Starting position.. Do the Rooks have to be on opposite sides of the King???

[@jervisman2]

He forgot about our good friend the bishop!!

[@walmartgolem]

Do these guys play bullet games of 960 chess? That would be a head f-ck.

[@uff3511]

love this video! And: Fabi is a great player. But in terms of speed, he is just too slow in comparison with Magnus and Hikaru - In my opinion

[@hareldavidson738]

This Tounament is exactly the proof we needed that chess960 is the better chess. Games cannot be ruined by opening theory, you have to think from the very first move. And this comes from someone who study openings a lot btw, the reason I study the openings is so I can punish those who neglect it. But if both players can’t prep an opening then the game is always leveled from the start as it should be

[@omenoflaherty1294]

Yep. All it would take is a few marquee players to form a 960 league/tour for a year or so and it would take off. Just needs some money behind it. Opening theory and engines have mortally wounded standard chess - for me anyway.

[@Modern_Nietzsche]

We are men of culture Agad, we always change the letter on the little robot with respect to the format.

[@user-gu7jk6dn5b]

it's never too late for Fubi to blunder something ... good one ...

[@skvideo24]

@ 3:05 after b captures on c4 -> why not e6 by white🤔

[@mrwindsreeds152]

Fabi again finds the "only" winning move...if not for magnus...maybe fabi in his peak would've been the world champion...

[@spindoctor6385]

I really think castling should not exist in 960. It makes no sense in so many of the variations. I do not know the origins of tge rule but I assume it was made as a kind of time saver as both players would use 3-4 moves to get their kings to safety. Half of the positions tge king is already in a corner or gets there with one move. I just dont like it.

[@Dalmatinac3]

Heart rate of 170 is crazy high. If you are over 170 while RUNNING it may mean there is a sign of something wrong. I mean, to have it that high while just thinking is insane.

[@zb5775]

The heart rate monitors are completely bogus. In physical sports, at the elite level (i.e. NBA, Premier League, NHL, etc) even at maximal exertion, the HR hovers around 150-160. That's with max. physical exertion. Absolutely NO WAY you can get the heart rate that high, sitting down, and playing a chess game.

[@dfchang813]

Sustained HR at 170 you will pass out.

Check out tour de France heart rates or megavalanche. It is certainly possible but it is quite remarkable.

[@zb5775]

@@simonsays6026 That's my point ... you need to be going up a Swiss mountain on a bike at 40km/hr to get the HR up that high. **NOT** sitting back on a comfy chair, sipping on a latte, and playing chess.

@@zb5775 just to let you know when speed running video games and you are about to set world record heart rate can go to 150s for minutes at a time. So it’s certainly possible.
