Caruana is the only one who could (and maybe still can) reach magnus ' level in classical

[@M5S_TM]

So why didn't he beat Maknes Carlsen in the last free chess tournament?

[@williamdewit5432]

Abdussatarov will be stable 2800 player also.

[@seinundzeiten]

most people watching, underestimate how strong Caruana truly is...

[@artie218]

Caruana and So are pretty close, both as strong in classical as Hikaru but Hikaru beats them in speed... I am just talking about the Americans, of course all lose more than win against Magnus.

[@SalmanKhan-yx5uf]

@@artie218 Hikaru is better than So and Caruana in Rapid ,Blitz and Bullet.Caruana is better than both of them in Classical while hikaru is also better than So in Classical

[@cjh-bk4pn]

prag blundered a full piece under time trouble. I saw the tactic instantly and i suck at chess

[@Saitama-jg1kq]

Because Caruana is a choker. Tell what tournament he won lately?

[@cjh-bk4pn]

sinquefield cup both classical and rapid and blitz@@Saitama-jg1kq

[@SneakyCheeseThief]

That was very cleverly played by Caruana near the end. You watch the bar go down with that rook move and you wonder … but he knew exactly what he was doing.

[@aominy970]

Fabi is the 2nd best player in the world with no doubt . But the match being this close with a 18 yo that means this guy will definitely be a world champ one day

[@mayanm7105]

not necessarily , he, the supposed dreamer just managing thrash positions, and somehow clinging on with the elites there

[@hypergg681]

​@@mayanm7105he's an elite too you 🤡 that's what gm means

[@jzkramer]

Caruana sees that one extra move beyond Pragg.

[@bmno.4565]

Magnus is on a tier of his own, but the only one whose close is Fabi

[@hardikpalan5466]

the candidates gonna be a mouth watering event with pragg at his peak performance the good thing is he doesnt have to worry about sponsorship anymore and can fully focus on his game with the extra money incoming he can afford the best seconds,trainees and engines obviously fabi is the favourite but we never know ! :D

And it is neither of them, but Gukesh

[@ayushkapadi4076]

It was actually a Knight blunder

Rook exchange hua tha blunder kaha

[@chessjester3071]

Fabi just needs to let that fro grow to epic proportions. And he could start storing his Chess pieces in it.

[@treefuns5056]

At 7:05, I input the put position in stockfish 15 and it showed +0.63 advantage to white, so Prag had great position till that but some inaccuracies after that.

[@shubhajitray8227]

Last time pragga makes a mistake 😱

[@AbhishekKumar-hk6fs]

Yellow mark on evaluation bar is little bit off, Any reason? @Chessbase India

[@parasuraman1155]

Magnus rated Fabio Caruna as his greatest classical oppponent, correct? That is the ultimate compliment worth at least 2850 Elo points considering that he has had Karpov, Kasparov, and Vishy as opponents, all world champions multiple times. Also Kramnik, though not in a WC match.

[@treefuns5056]

At 9:14 Prag moved N-A6 which was mistake according to SF 15.1 giving white an advantage of +3.50 after Q-G6. Better move for Black was N-D5.

[@colesmatteo]

fabi with the rook cannon! classic maneuver often sought amongst us amateurs.

[@JaiSriRam801]

Prag lost because of time pressure, Hardluck. You played well Champ🧡

[@shaolinscorpion6526]

there is no luck in chess. If you're low on time it's a mistake not misfortune. I love prag and believe he will probably be world champ some day but don't say its luck that caurana outplayed him...

[@wolfgangwiesinger9502]

The position was hard to play for Black, no counterplay and only worries

[@Badissweet]

Caruana is simply better than prag. Caruana is No 2 in the world for a reason

[@afkass4965]

​@@Badissweetwell pragg defeated him in the 3 match quarter final in the classical world championship. Pragg has never been that good in shorter formats. But his classical is at par with caruana.

[@hrithiksharma8958]

​@@afkass4965You are right ✌

[@spieglass3211]

What's the reason for not pushing f5 while the rook was stuck between the knight and d6?

[@user-ds4og4no8y]

Fabi is know as a machine in calculations.

[@holidayentertainment9106]

Pragg just needs to play a lot of blitz he usually gets nervous during less time controls. He can beat anyone Im just waiting to see him taking the throne

[@Kmher90]

That was a good game I didn’t even see that rook to E2 . I was thinking of taking the pawn with either queen or rook

[@stanlearner5102]

sustained precision created overwhelming pressure. caruana is persistent.

[@kevinwellwrought2024]

Qd6 by black was a bad blunder but psychologically Pragg wanted to get out of the annoying pin but out of the frying pan into the fire!

[@chessdev5320]

time pressure!!

[@impactcommerce]

He was dominating from very begining

[@mayanm7105]

Precisely ya, people defending prag, saying he be a world champ. very pity

[@satyendra6587]

Pragg was short on time and that's why he made some mistakes at the end that caused him game

[@nishamarkose9966]

Thats what blitz is supposed to be lol, being low on time is not an excuse in blitz

[@AvijitMukherjee-bf3tf]

Wonderful game 😮

He actually is by rating. But by achievements one might say that he is only in the top 15. One can argue that Kasparov, Karpov, Kramnik, Capablanca, Fischer, Alekhine, Tal and other great world champion might be currently above him. But dude has seen and done it all.
