[@Vicar307]

Fabi has no ego, that was so cool

[@aonutsihasnouith]

Fabi has a healthy ego where he doesn’t act narcissistically but still moves with the poise and confidence justified by his skill level. I don’t think he has no ego, but rather just the right amount as an elder statesman of the game.

[@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf]

@@aonutsihasnouith Vicar has no idea what ego means. His ego is at the highest level and perfectly normal.

He opened w/a "beef" joke.

[@davidjoseph7142]

I’d really like to see Fabi be #1 for at least a moment, he deserves it, the more I watch him the more I really like him.

[@jbthepianist]

This was Anna’s plan all along. 1) Create and promote a meme opening 2) Induce GMs to play it against her. 3) Super GM scalp 🎉🎉🎉

[@timkbirchico8542]

and to talk a lot. very distracting.

[@zvonimirtosic6171]

Anna is a super GM in banter. In that field, she can destroy anyone.

[@AkosHorvath-yr3hr]

This win more about seducing Fabi than make him to use that openning. But still Fabi only let her win if she plays good so... Deserved win. Still hope we can see them together soon, hopes seducing was not only for one stupid win to promote channel, then it was my last video what I watched, I know Anna a humble nice girl, it would rly surprise me.

[@jbthepianist]

@@AkosHorvath-yr3hr You’re a complete weirdo. Get help.

[@stevenbrodeur3023]

What a gentleman, even saying he was fine in the beginning giving Anna all the credit. With all the hate and drama going around with top players, this was a nice video to watch.

Lol at 15:04 "it was a three-fold". So he got the draw but let her play on. Good guy Fabi.

[@bryceb3194]

Yeah, 12:51 - 13:02 for those that missed it. It was a draw by repetition. EDIT: this does not seem to be a three-fold. The position was only repeated 2 times.

[@ivaerz4977]

This is not some high level tournament rules don't apply here.

[@michaelbauers8800]

@@ivaerz4977 IMO the rules apply, but...three fold does depend on some player claiming it.

"Where's the win Fabi"...as a low ELO player trying to convert winning positions, I feel that in my soul.

[@Nordan-xx3th]

Fabi clearly saw the Mate in 44 in that final posistion, thats why he resigned :)

[@XDSDDLord]

I never understand why grandmasters insult you, try to trick you, or play mind games, so I'm glad there are at least some decent high-ranking players out there. I really enjoyed the vibes in this video.

[@dieminervaeule]

The thing is, if all GM's behaved like Caruana, chess probably wouldn't have got that much attention. Chess in this time and age is entertainment too, hence the success of people like the Botez sisters, for example. Guys like Fabio just don't sell.

[@tolkienfan1972]

In tournaments that behvior is illegal.

[@XDSDDLord]

@@tolkienfan1972 I believe people should be nice without having to be forced to follow rules.

[@exapsy]

@@dieminervaeule people dont get personality traits after they become chess GMs. It's more than likely that those GMs youre speaking about had those personality beforehand. It's not about "who sells", Magnus didn't become a 5-time WC because he sells, he became a WC because he's great. Neither Hikaru waited for the moment to become one of the best chess players in the world to become adversarial and kind of a dick sometimes. I understand your logic, but it simply doesn't apply IRL

[@dieminervaeule]

@@exapsy You didn't understand me fully, I guess. Yes, I know that their personalities didn't come with their titles. I'm just saying that chess wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is today if the top players were all like Caruana, and that the players who contributed the most to chess becoming popular (Gotham for example) did so because they are able to sell the game due to being entertaining, and not solely because of their chess skills.

[@dragonbowlsupper]

Fabi might be the sweetest person in the world

[@dakotadak100]

ACTUALLY....COWS DO HAVE HORNS! Farmers cut them off so their heads fit through feeding gates.

[@AnthonySouls]

Thanks. I didn't know that

[@vladbrad27]

Came here to say that, please upvote, this truth has been hidden from the masses for too long.

[@futurefox128]

So true! And kinda sad... apparently they cut the horns off so frequently that humankind doesn't even remember they grow horns.

[@m.rubland6737]

They cut them off because you should not have so many animals in one space, they get stressed and hurt each other. One way is to give them more space, the other way is to cut off the horns.

[@Valdagast]

I think it depends on breed, but I am not an expert on bovines.

[@CBEEBLE]

Fabi is my favourite. The way he glides the pieces across the board it’s so fluid - almost like a flow state. Makes it look absolutely effortless.

[@zurdau1822]

fluent not fluid

[@CBEEBLE]

@@zurdau1822 Nope. I meant fluid as in able to flow easily: smoothly, elegantly or effortlessly but fluent would obviously also apply.

[@dero2430]

You're glazing him like he's a donut...

[@CBEEBLE]

@@dero2430 Nope. That would be unholey.

[@doug3691]

Congratulations Anna! And Fabi, you're such a good sport. A very wholesome video. Thank you, both.

[@AJIN0071981]

The person who invented cow opening won't play that opening; rather she asks her opponents to play that opening so that she can win.. Wow wonderful strategy. It's like the Trojan horse in Troy war.

[@salmarwow]

Trojan cow. Here, fixed this for you.

[@ASDasdSDsadASD-nc7lf]

Winning is winning regardless of method.

[@patsitekick]

a "win"... 😉

[@richterhrr]

Fabi calmly: "Losing my rook, that was maybe not the right idea." 😂

[@blanchae]

I didn't really know much about Fabiano before and now that Anna has "introduced" him on her channel, I can see what a great guy he is. Thoroughly, enjoyed the coffee chess game.

I so love how chill and nice Fabiano is! When Hans Niemann recently lost to Levy Rozman he was devastated. I understand these guys don't lose often. But it's nice to see some humility and grace among the giants of the game. Big congrats on the win, you really deserve it Anna!

@@Z6D4C4 He definitely was but he comes off as immature no matter what the intent. I prefer the way Fabi acts, he’s so zen.

Did he just call it the "bull" opening?

He said ’bull’ but it sounded as if he meant ‘dull’…

Fabi wins opening naming game for sure. The Cow is the Bull (half a word) opening, and his opening was to be the Goat. Such a quick and subtle wit.

[@NotTheUnsub]

I didn't know that Fabi's playing style is aggressive. Now that I know, I think you both have similar styles (tactile and do some deep think calculating lines). He has such a calming demeanor. Good game Anna, congrats! I did have to chuckle seeing you stressing trying really hard and him just smiling at 12:51

[@mattiasvonmalmborg6633]

Gratulerar!🏆🏅

[@joelmacandtosh8527]

He did not only refute the opening itself, but also the logic behind naming it the cow opening😂😂

[@AnthonySouls]

I think Fabiano was hoping for a KF8 move for a while with his Rook, lol at 12:40. That might have been his only chance for a mate. Hoping that Anna didn't see it,:) It would be interesting to see more people playing the cow so you can get stats on its win rate. I wonder if the cow really does give you a bad middle game or not. Good job on the win. It does seem like Anna's and Fabiano's energy meshes well together, like their vibes get along.

Fabi played that endgame so beautifully!!! I didn't know two rooks vs one could be so difficult to play! It didn't seem at all that Anna had a whole rook of advantage! That was the most grandmaster moment of the game for me!
