I keep being blown away by the quality of the analysis here. I've been watching the others for a long time - gotham, Naka, etc., but Fabi is something else. These are the best chess lessons you can get. For free too ! . I can only hope this channel is gonna be around for a long time.
Its just an absolute delight and privilege to have Fabi analyze games like that. Thank you for putting those out after every game - they really add to the understanding of the multi-game strategy that Ian and Ding are employing:)
Unbelievable how Fabi can logically and coherently explain almost every move in every opening variation, when others would just say it's good or bad depending on if engines approve. Legendary understanding of chess.
Fabi should do more game analysis videos. I think I've learnt more from these 4 recaps than I ever have from watching other chess yt channels. There's so much more depth in the positions that just goes unnoticed and unexplained, Fabi explained the nuances od these micro plans with breathtaking clarity. Not often a world class player is also such a good teacher too!
He's so good ! Even though he's discussing super GM level stuff, it's in a way where we can still understand the thought process that goes into it and certainly gets our slower brain cogs turning and looking deeper.
Agreed.... everyone coming to this site should subscribe and send links to other people....this in depth review of the games has been incredible and entertaining
Its truly incredible that we get such deep analysis from a top GM. The hard work Fabi puts into chess definitely shines through. Thanks, Fabi and Cristian!
@@КороткийГеннадий He said it after R:d4. Jan should have asked the referee to give a foul to Liren since it's prohibited to talk during the game but I think he was too scared to do anything at that moment, no one was expecting this from Ding
My favorite Chess recap/analysis of all time is Svidler's analysis of Fabi vs Magnus WC Game 6, and I was really sad when I stopped seeing much of Svidler's commentary and recaps. Glad that we have these now to fill the void!
I watch chessnetwork, powerplay, hikaru, agad and gotham recaps, but once I found Fabi's analysis this channel has become my favorite for recaps. The pure chess part is obvious, but also Fabi's a great presenter/commentator. I could listen to Fabi talk chess all day long
@@mikecantreed . Jerry is far higher than 2000. Maybe you got him mixed up with someone else. Agad I can see but most people just spit out engine lines which is useless.
@@MrSupernova111 his peak fide is 2200 so I was a little off but my point still stands: he’s as low on the totem pole as you can get in terms of titled players. That rating was from 2015 so his rating has likely declined.
@@mikecantreed ??? So we're only allowed to listen to top 50 GMs analysis and just neglect the others?? What a weird concept. Gatekeeping chess at its finest? Not every chess enthusiast cares that much or can't be bothered to listen to in-depth, detailed analysis about chess. As long as the analyses aren't going off the rails, Agad or Gotham's analysis are anything but trash and are also worth to listen to
Absolute incredible communication in these comment/analysis. A top grand master can lose anyone with too deep an analysis but Fabiano manages to keep it accessible while showing so many concepts. I am amazed.
I remember the first time Fabi was on camera with the Chess Brahs. He is so comfortable on camera now and really meant to do this kind of commentary. You can tell he put a lot of work into it
Absolute gold and explains why we all make such seemingly simple tactical/positional mistakes in classical chess that we might not otherwise make in rapid or even blitz: Fabi: "I remember reading about this tournament in one of Jonathan Rowson's books - it was tension transference; it was like why do we make mistakes? And sometimes the tension becomes unbearable that you just want to make a decision. And, if he had made the decision g5, that keeps the tension in the position, and tension especially when it builds up over the course of a stressful tournament or a match, it becomes more and more that you just want to release it. Knight to d4 is kind of releasing the tension - not the tension in the position - the tension in your mind. And the reason it releases tension is because after knight d4, it's just forcing moves right? Queen takes f4, forcing thing to calculate, rook takes d4, forcing thing to calculate. g5, there's nothing to calculate; it's just a tense position that remains for a long time. So this was definitely a psychological - this was not a chess mistake prion(?) - this was a psychological mistake, or a mistake in terms of handling pressure, which definitely is very understandable and we've all been there especially in tense tournaments, especially when the stakes are high like they are here."
Was to busy to follow games three and four, but these recaps have been even better than watching live; never thought that would have been possible. Fantastic work, guys.
Thank you for making these recaps. Having one of the strongest players of all times going in depth and sharing his rich knowledge like this for free is a blessing. Thank you.
Hearing Fabi talk about openings & ideas is such a massive privilege, how is he so coherent & pedagogic. I’m even more excited for his upcoming chessable course!
I have been playing this opening for many years, and I had no idea why until today. Mille grazie Fabiano (and Cristian too :D ), you are a model for how this should be done.
On top of great analysis of the game itself, these are great opening lectures, particularly regarding move orders (which is an oft overlooked part of studying opening when you are just studying a particular opening and not examining the other choices/motivations behind your move order).
“the tournament context matters of course for the players but it doesn’t matter at all for the position. Chess doesn’t care about tournament you are playing” I thinks that’s one of the things I like about chess so much is the one on one aspect and as long as you have prepared well and understand the positions then you are going to have a level of confidence no matter what
Another day, another excellent analysis by you guys. This game was a rollercoaster, everybody was "shooketh" when Nepo moved quickly with fatal mistake or in Magnus' words "playing poor moves quickly". It was like watching Nepo self-destructed slowly but surely towards the end, and Anish & Danya in utter disbelief was the cherry on top 😂 the roles are slowly reversed, Ding is getting more confident and Nepo starts losing focus. Definitely interesting to follow due to its up and down.
Great recap from Fabi. Very instructive. I would like if fabi take us through some of his games against the two contenders of the match especially his game against Ding in candidates 2020 ( Slav defense opening ) the game which Ding won
This may sound like a shot at Gotham, Hikaru, Finegold and the others, when it's not intended as such. But man, Fabi's analysis and insights are on a different level.
Love to hear Fabi's analysis (despite the fact that I cannot understand any) A 2800+ and WCC challenger knows a thing or 2 about chess Much better than other channels
@@456death654 . You need to look at the engine evaluation if you think both made inaccuracies. I'll clue you in: 9 centipawn loss with 0-0-0 errors for Ding. Besides, many games that we cherish today from old masters like Capablanca, Alekhine, and Tal are riddled with errors yet we still refer to them as brilliant or masterpieces. If you think just anyone can play the same caliber game that Ding played today you must be new to chess.
Its incredible that none of the commentators anywhere bring up the move E5 for black rather than D6. I think that position would create a great deal of fun, a really fighting position for black. Black is AOK after this!!
Watching live Nepo was playing quickly, and to some degree superficially. Ding decided to match him for speed which meant the occasional second- or third-best move, but the objective isn't to play the best moves, it's to play better moves than your opponent. This was more like rapidplay at times than classical.
3rd highest player in chess history for good reason. legendary analysis from Fabi. Keep these coming. no wonder why he remains the only challenger that Magnus didn’t get a win against in the WCC Classical setting.

@@Orion-zq8jf sounds fine to me, same as always 🙂
It’s the new “facts don’t care about your feelings”. 😜
That line deserves a t-shirt :-)
It's "which tournament" not "what tournament" among the literate.
I keep being blown away by the quality of the analysis here. I've been watching the others for a long time - gotham, Naka, etc., but Fabi is something else.

Glad you enjoy it!
this is basically a free masterclass session
Unbelievable how Fabi can logically and coherently explain almost every move in every opening variation, when others would just say it's good or bad depending on if engines approve.
Legendary understanding of chess.
yep its a different level of analysis here
If you watch top GMs' analyses, they all do it this way, but obv each GM has their own style and Fabi is a great asset for sure
This recap is better than the match itself
Learn so from much from you specifically french defence speedrun ❤️
#fanloveIndia🇮🇳
That’s what i think too. 👍
Shoutout to all the London connoisseurs🎩
Not quite.
The recaps are always better than the games as they're 30-60 minutes of the important stuff vs all 6 hours including long periods where nobody moves.
It's so cool we get to watch a thorough analysis from a top GM just hours after a WC game
Fabi should do more game analysis videos. I think I've learnt more from these 4 recaps than I ever have from watching other chess yt channels.

Thank you for these quality recaps Christian and Fabi.I don't know why a quality channel like this doesn't have a million subscribers.
It very well may soon if continued like this
Agreed.... everyone coming to this site should subscribe and send links to other people....this in depth review of the games has been incredible and entertaining
It's a relatively new channel
They are pretty new. Also it's super technical so it might not appeal to the scrubs (like me but I like this channel).
Its truly incredible that we get such deep analysis from a top GM. The hard work Fabi puts into chess definitely shines through. Thanks, Fabi and Cristian!
Nice username
totally agree, it’s incredible listening to his analysis
@@Budha3773 I needed a minute to understand. Magnus and Anatoly's magic
Fabi's analysis of the games are pure gold, all these recaps are a f**ing masterclass.
My favorite part was when Ding looked Nepo directly in the eyes and said, “it’s Ding time.”
“I am the captain now!” - Ding
And Dinged all over the place
When Ding said that? I first time hear about it.
@@КороткийГеннадий He said it after R:d4. Jan should have asked the referee to give a foul to Liren since it's prohibited to talk during the game but I think he was too scared to do anything at that moment, no one was expecting this from Ding

This reminds me so much of those old 30-55min chess24 svidler game of the day recaps and I love it.
My favorite Chess recap/analysis of all time is Svidler's analysis of Fabi vs Magnus WC Game 6, and I was really sad when I stopped seeing much of Svidler's commentary and recaps. Glad that we have these now to fill the void!

Agreed but Powerplay is really great too though
Why would you watch chessnetwork and agad when you can watch Fabi or Dubov or the chess chickens? Jerry and Agad are barely over 2000.

Fantastic analysis, greatly appreciated! Thanks Fabi and Chirila👌
This recap is awesome. In the time other channels finish the entire thing, Fabi goes through the first 2 moves only.
Off all the recaps this is the best by far due to Fabiano excellent input.
This is easily the best analysis out there. Such granular detail but done in a way that's accessible for any player. Great work lads

The best quote about chess psychology I've ever heard. Makes so much sense of something so mysterious in our own minds.

Fabi's analysis and insight into the crux point of this game was amazing.

geez what an analysis, Fabi & Cristian have forgotten more about chess than most of us will ever know

Great recap. Also I love that photo of Ding and Rapport you showed
Excellent analysis and anecdotes!
So so fortunate to hear Fabianos analysis like this. What a chess brain.
One of the best hour analyzing a depth and complicated game. It was a pleasure hear and learn from you both

Thanks. You're both great 👍
Amazing analysis from Fabi. Love these videos.
Fabi giving the analysis is something else 🔝
So good and deep analysis by super GM, Fabi.
The best analysis of them all, hands down!
This is a full master class from the opening to the endgame.
Great analysis with the two top GM. Learned a lot! No 1 platform.
Thank you for this masterclass after every game ❤❤.
Skipped all other recaps all day, knowing you guys wouldn't disappoint!
excellent in--depth analysis, as was to be expected!
excellent, I saw it was 1 hour and the time flew by. Great job
Love Fabi‘s analysis. What a great teacher!
Y'all's post game analysis videos are awesome; best I've found on TH-cam
Very instructive in the opening, I love it :))
Thank you for this, it's a real treat 🤩
Great, fantastic video. Both of you are excellent!
This recap is gold!!!
Fabi’s recaps are the best content on this pod. More please, so instructive.
These are the highest quality recaps of the WCC I've seen. Fascinating insights, thanks guys.
Thanks fabi its your calling to analyse on camera. Great explaining

This what your boss means when he says "know your material" 👑
What a privilege to have a Top 10 player ever doing the WC recaps!
Subscribed! Great video Fabianooo
nice analysis . after todays match i was waiting for your reaction.
I liked the part where Ding realized he could sac the exchange and said I guess I'm just Dinging now.
Fabiano’s commentary is the best I’ve heard in many years!

Top notch analysis 💪
Fabi should get an award for being the top analyzer of the game. Most GMs at his level are not good at this, he is a special guy.
Super GM analysis is on a whole other level. Fabi might be the very best.
I watched 5 recaps of this game, your recap is the best then Hikaru's recap. Btw, Hikaru mentioned Fabi in his recap.
Great analysis...Ding is back in business and should he take the lead Nepo might collapse
2 ply in and the video is already 10 minutes long 😂 great stuff
A masterpiece by Ding!

Wasn't a masterclass. Both played inaccuracies and one blundered
