Who's here after India won the Olympiad
Meeeeee
youuuuuu
Fabi got destroyed by gukesh😂😂😂
Magnus single handedly carrying Norway's Average Rating.
Feels bad for Magnus and Haaland.

Who's haaland? @@Nick-qn6sp
Fabi's forearms are S class
Bro knows how to do the rook lift! :)

Chess players:
Blah blah blah (Speaking)
Fabi:
But do you rook lift?? (Forearms Photo)
😂
Gukesh has just crushed Caruana.
and he don't know about gukesh 😂😂😂
@@vishalutkar4772well now he will remember t
@@vishalutkar4772 now he does
Gukesh won and caruana lost...what is this "crushed" shit
Why are you Indians so salty all the time
caruana has been goin to the gym recently dude's arms are terrifying
Who cares??
Top GM with sleeper build is terrifying
@@bhough410 WE care, bozo
That's what I was thinking while watching the video 😅
20 pounds max bench press
Mickey Adams :win the London chess classic six months ago.
Christian: washed
Leko: had not played a competitive game in ages.
Christian: CLASS.
This had me dying of laughter
3000 elo comment lol
Felt like Fabi was sleeping on Leko because of his lack of tourney activity OTB in the last few years. Listen to Peter broadcasts, even in critical moments the dude accurately calls out the 2 -3 best engine lines within seconds regularly. The man is a calculating machine! He's best known for grinding down opponents with a very high accuracy % even in 100+ move games. Adams from what I remember is an ultra-sharp attacker, with his weakness being attacks that pan out and quickly succumbing to counterattack. I would bet a considerable amount of money on Leko vs Adams in a best of 7 classical otb.
Leko on board 2 with Rapport on board 1 can rival any other team short of India and US on an above average day. If the tourney were single elimination Hungary would be a really solid bet for bronze or silver if they didn't run into the 2 best teams early on.
@@bhough410 Adams the ultra-sharp attacker? I've never heard that one before. His nickname was "the Spider" because he was a strong positional player in his prime.
there is no question Peter leko was one of the best players of all time but I will differ to fabi about being off the board for a long time ...he might be right and he might be wrong but he is definitely more knowledgeable about all of this than me and you

The Indian 🇮🇳 flag is not correct it has Ashok chakra in centre not random shit that you are using in the above flag
I am Indian but the best chess playing nation throughout the history of chess that is Russia, missing in this Olympiad. We need to discard politics from chess to make the sport open and free from imperialism.
Imperialism like invading your neighbor?

@@atulsingh2429 sure, whatever you need to tell yourself to sleep at night buddy
Sorry but Olympiads without Russia doesn't feel right.
It's because invading your neighbours doesn't feel right.
@@reav3rtm Whats the correlation to world politics punishing chess players?
For now. You'll get used to it in a few years.
@@bhough410 Those who want, can already compete for other countries chess federations in olympiad.
@@bhough410 Correlation is not to have fa**ist flag waving during olympiad. Nobody is banning Russian chess players from participation for other countries if they don't share Karjakin's enthusiasm for war.
Meanwhile Today Usa got crushed by Ukraine by 2.5 - 1.5
Here after Gukesh defeated Fabi in round 10
I love how Christian felt obligated to use all tiers and he put England in D tier then David Howell googled himself and this came up and he saw it and took it personally.
Howell is more emotional than the vast majority of women I've met in my entire life.
@@bhough410 jesus christ that comment has more red flags than Moscow in 1917
@@mandobrook "Red flags" maybe, "truth" definitely. Reality is Howell will get shellacked on board 2 against most of these teams.
@@bhough410Bruh, he had the best score in the entire tournament last time. 7 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses and a performance rating of 2898 on board 3. He is higher rated than the vast majority of board 2 players this year. You seem like the emotional one if you're basing your opinion off of how you perceive his personality instead of chess.
@@bhough410bruh he won gold on board 3 last time in Olympiad ahead of erigaisi and pragganananda.
Its more like the ranking by the anchor/host than by Caruana 😂
Yeah wtf can he let fabi give his opinion
Agreed, and Christ’s choices have 0 logic 😂
Yes he is definitely S tier annoying.
@@ivaerz4977 thought it was only me. I just stopped watching after the England rating
@@ivaerz4977 😂
This tier list is by default much better because it is of the normal S,A,B,C,D form and not that weird thing they had.
There's no reason to have S and no F.
@@ClarkPotter thats just how its formatted. Its a tier list, not a grading scale
@@ClarkPotterThere's no reason to have S and not E
@ClarkPotter both are not needed

US team. 1 italian player , 1 philippine, 1 armenian, 1 cuban and 1 player from an oceania colony, Guam ... GOOD, there is nothing that money can't buy.
What would sound more "american" to you? Give us an example
@@PrekKola Someone born in USA, for example: Hans Niemann, Samuel Sevian, Jeffery Xiong, Sam Shankland... even Nakamura though he wasn't born in USA. But of course, with that team you cannot win the Indian team, or the russian team if it wasn't banned (unfairly).
@@alfonsoperal5386 Oh sorry, I didn't know Fabi and Ray (Guam is a part of the US if you didn't know) were not born in the US. What a stupid take.
@@PrekKola Fabiano was born in USA but both parents are italians and were in NY for a very short time. In fact Fabiano was raised in Italy and played for Italy for many years since the USA federaton came with $$$. Guam is a colony of USA (a few nations have colonies today, and USA is one of them), like India was a colony of England. If India was still a colony then Uk would have the best team!
@@PrekKola By the way, I consider Nakamura a real american because though he was born in Japan his mother is amercian so he can choose both.
Just after round 10...just thought of coming back and saying hello from India 🇮🇳
Christian’s hair is tattooed or something. Always perfect
It literally never grows from this!!
And he's got it exactly right. I'm commenting towards the end of the Olympiad.
Yes brother but us 😅
leko playing just means that he is not commentating and i personally see that as a loss
Correct!
but hold on
@@SaiPrasannaS Hello Tania, hello everybody
Bro, look at Fabiano's forearms. Dude has been lifting heavyy
One of his hobbies is rock climbing.
@@Palthewall Now that you mention it, many top players today have hobbies with some sort of physical activity. I don't think that was the case with former generations.
Never thought someday I'd be distracted by a chess player's forearms

It's game where you move elephant, camel, horse, soldiers ,king and queen by hand.
@@gagansamant96
#fingers 😂
Moving pieces around all the time, otb chess players have to do quite the heavy lifting . 🤪
2:55 not even 3 min in and Fabi's already getting saucy 😂 Love to see it!
Caruana - Italian descent
Wesley so -Filipino descent
Aronian - Armenian
Team USA 😂😂
also lenier belong to cuba
thats why hikaru said he feels ni yeam spirit 😂
America - the land of immigrants
Because American the future
Descent doesn't matter ,USA KNOWS How to nurture Talent unlike India😂🤡Also Fabi and Hikaru been living in US Since their birth🙌
This was a really interesting watch (: But I wish it included more countries, at least to highlight some countries most people don’t know as much about, like Armenia, Azerbaijan, etc.
it's amazing that Armenia aren't even there as a top 10 ranked team yet i still think they'll be incredibly dangerous again
They are a dark horse to watch out for sure
100%
Wasn't Aronian Armenian?
@@lastorderx20001now plays for us

Who's here after the USA's loss against Ukraine?
Well iam after it lost to india
Peter leko playing otb is such an occasion considering he retired from otb. He was crazy strong and was a wc challenger in his prime
Lmao imagine putting England in D and Norway in B, when Norway is basically a one trick poney and England has a full roster of almost 2650 rated players 😂
Where is uk,,😅not in top 10, in Olympiad,
Not sure why Armenia is not considered this time, they were runners-up last time and had equal match points with the First.
Now you understand why they not put Armenia😅
@@dhananjayrathod-tt7me Absolutely :D
There's no(r)way Norway is stronger than England, I strongly disagree with that
list isn't based on who's strongest overall but who has a chance at a medal. Magnus mopping up while the rest of his team holds the fort for a medal placement is far more likely than England getting to a medal position. I do agree with fabi though D for England is a little harsh. At least C.
both C for me, not much between them
Magnus could win and the rest of Norway just has to get a draw. England has to win two out of the remaining three boards on demand vs. Norway since Magnus will win.

All I got from this is that Fabi is showing off his shredded forearms and that he most likely goes to the gym. Good for him.
We don't hate you Cristian no matter where England goes.
0:21 Fabiano trying to say he plays clash royale without saying he plays clash royale 🤣
Change in meta 😊
Really CR thing
We missed out Alireza Firouzja for stupid decision from government
But we still love him❤️🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
Maybe he didnt want to participate. Because honestly speaking, there really isnt much incentive to play the Olympiad for players like Magnus, Alireza, Fabi, Hikaru and co. Unless you want to "play for YOUR country" or just play it for the "fun", i dont see much reason to play the Olympiad for top players. Also, someone like Alirzea isn't really a french player, since he originally came from iran. So i doubt he has much reason to play for "his country" france.
He plays for France not Iran 😂😂
@@zoso2640lol 🤣 what ?. It is like the chess world cup

Here after india won gold in olympiad
india finally wins chess olympiad 2024 in both male and female category
Best chess podcast👏🏻
Chucky says hi💀💀💀
You should do an all-time Olympic teams tier list!
It's funny how Christian unintentionally said behemoth correctly with the right pronunciation (it's from Hebrew and means "Beasts") and Fabi corrected him
It might be correct for Hebrew, but it's incorrect for English.
What exercises have Caruana been doing? I want a forearm like his!!
Christian, welcome to whoop club :D !
After few rounds, interesting how bad these guesses turn out :)
What
This is what happens when u just put the team u THINK is the strongest and forgot that there a lot of good underrated team out there that gonna beat top seed team
After the 10th round and hearing from Fabi that Leinier can't be beaten by any indian players, that he can take on anyone.
Looks very funny 😂
This is very good.. thank you.
Fabiano Caruana Ranks… 4:59 the other guy try to put in his 2 cents.. let the Man do his thing dude, you can tell us your feelings somewhere else #christian
Vakhidov Vokhidov is a great supervillain name for a kids show
And your username is the name of father of computers for the pirated version of Earth Simulacra.
Hungary isn't D. After the 7th round they are the 4th team.
hyped for the olympiad
Good awareness about game , putting India as S , and Indian team justified that too❤🎉
I see Fabi been playing the forearm gambit accepted
Impressive how Fabi knows everyone's current rating off the top of his head.
Why isn't Hikaru competing?
He's only interested in classical chess if it counts towards the Candidates.
He has played Olympiad 5 times and won 2 team gold and 2 team bronze so maybe he got bored now.
He only cares about money
He is scared to lose rating
@@underreppin he will play in 1 board..so mostly will play 2700+ opponents
Luke McShane is an insane board 4. He's been in a slump as of late but is super dangerous when playing well. England actually has a very interesting team where all the players have peaked at over 2700 (Adams was like 2770) so they could massively overperform
*peaked , that explains it all.
I feel Uzbekistan will pull it off again. They have that predatory vibe that USA, India and China do not.
Gukesh, Pragg & Arjun can beat any player in the world on any given day. What do you mean not "predatory"??
@@bhough410 that means they are there to hunt not play around. Gukesh is a fighter, Pragg is a defender, Erigaisi is a sniper but Vidit is too emotional to be playing in men's Olympiad. They might beat Uzbekistan but over 11 rounds I predict Uzbekistan will finish with a higher score.
@@SR-fs2fdRecently it is more like Gukesh is a defender and Pragg is an attacker.
Predatory 😂😂😂 this time India will smoke Uzbekistan and that Abdusattorov will be Taken dowm
@@bhough410No one can beat Magnus on any given day.
Man I look at India's team and that's so scary, everyone is super solid and they are all pretty young. It's a bit of a shame Hikaru is not playing this event otherwise I'd give USA the edge over India. Would love to hear your guys' thoughts on the format and general strategy in terms of lining up the boards against each other.
I'm Indian but I put usbekistan and usa for gold as a team because team india stumble in big moment
@@iitnakanpur..from future and I can confirm that USA is not going to win Uzbekistan have some chances but I think China or India
@@iitnakanpur.. after round 8, india has 16points and 2points clear of second poistion, with two rounds to go..it will be difficult to dislodge india from Gold now
You were right man❤❤
@@iitnakanpur..seriously😂😂😂😂
It's coming home!
the volcano below Edinburgh castle will erupt before it ever comes home lol
Who's home, remains the question :P
"Home" ? xD. Home of chess is India where it was invented in ancient to medieval times. Even if modern chess with few additional rules are concerned, it still wouldn't be England. Everything's not football. You don't deserve the D tier though.
Good thoughts. I mostly agree, I'd put England above Iran but otherwise I think you're pretty much spot on!
S: India, Uzbekistan
A: China, USA, Iran
B: Hungary
C: Germany, Netherlands
D: Norway, England
lmao, Fabi talking about Gukesh *cough* *cough*
Naka really should have played 😢
I would say India is the favorite over the USA, but if Hikaru played, USA are clear favorites.
@@Deerjason totally India are clear favorites but yeah Naka would have made a huge difference 😭
@@Deerjason I'd still hold India as small favorites.
Think there is an issue with the fighting spirit in the American team.
I think Hikaru doesn’t feel like the team spirit is really there as a lot of them are rivals.
Should have put Hans and Hikaru on the same team 😂😂
WHY IS HANS NOT IN THE TEAM?? 😭😭
He was much lower rated, when they picked the team and I think a some players are also happier that way.
Is anyone else getting too many ads?
India vs team world import (usa) for the gold
Even if Leko was inactive in the last few years, the "D" category for Hungary is a shock for me, as a hungarian. We'll see!
Yeah especially with Richard on the Top Board and strong players like Sanan Sjugirov joining the team and Ferenc Berkes who reached the Pre-Quarterfinals of the Chess World Cup last time. And they are the Home team.
Still a top 10 team. Remember the context.
If Russia were in place of Uzbekistan (no hate or disrespect to Uzbekistan, of course), I might have been confused about what the list is about.
there is just one russian player in top20 (at no.9)...current Russia is no longer the old russia with half the top10 filled by them..
What are the games fabi is referring to?
That’s the real question
Waiting for the new patch to make Fischer random/360 the main competitive ranked mode of chess
Crazy hikaru will make more money streaming the matches then actually participating
all the best, Fabi. lets win the gold for team as well as indivisible one also
The issue with England and hungary is that they have old semi retired players and it is hard to see them compete with young active players from other countries.
So frustrating to watch the world #3 get ignored by Cristian, and constantly hear Cristian overrule Fabi.
Calm down, mate,They are friends
@@Bēdguy69 That doesn't impact my enjoyment of watching someone far less knowledgeable questioning Fabi though.
@@robertfredericks3139 He is not less knowledgeable - he is just not as good a chess player.
New title: Host ranks olympiad teams ft. Fabi
Fabi: Let's go with C
Host: Yeah yeah let's not do that, I'll go D. *Puts D*
Fabi: Sure🤓☝
Fabi got choked by Gukesh 😅
Nice recap
Christian should have done this alone for all the notice he took of Fabi.
Cristian: "I have never done a tier list before"
Didn't they do a tier list for candidates entrants?
I am here after seeing this S tier US a** kicked, and is not even top 10 on standings
I'd like to see the teams based on categories... a Classical player, Blitz player, Senior, Junior, and Women's player.
No way Iran or Norway have more chances than Hungary. Also, why isn't France participating??
France is participating but is not in top 10 teams by average rating since Alireza is not participating.
@@SR-fs2fd ooohh. Still odd tho. I don't know who's on the team but France has MVL, Bacrot, Moussard... still seems like they would make a higher rated team than England for example
@@user-vt4hd8hb4v We've got MVL Bacrot Maurizzi Fressinet and Lagarde for this one... Pretty much the best possible team, unfortunately we'll miss Alireza. Still good enough for 14th Elo with 2653.
Yes Hungary is washed 😂😂😂
@@samarthbagwe1736 Ahead of both in the standings...
In Asian games 2022 Iran won the men's team gold medal in presence of China, India and Uzbekistan with the same rosters. Let's see what happens here.
Bro time changes new comes
I am an Indian fan but i would place Uzbekistan instead of India as the Gold Medal Favourites along with the US. They are really head-strong and have a bit of ruthlessness which India lack i believe. India have always punched below their weight when it comes to crunch situations, so maybe not favorites to win the gold but a definite medal prospect. Also you guys have missed to include few good teams like Poland, Azerbaijan, France etc (With players like Duda, Wojtaszek, Shak, Radja, Maxime, Bacrot etc). Dark Horses which can win a medal. Surely this average rating stuff doesn't mean a lot for these players who play at the elite level regularly. Maybe you guys could have picked the strongest chess teams/countries that usually play at the top level.
that's coz india never had a team full of monsters like this time, Arjun, pragg& gukesh all are monsters, and 1 high rated solid player like vidit, no need to underestimate ourselves this time, this team has more killer instincts than any other team coz of top 3 boards being world #4,6,7 and all are inherently attacking players(they attack differently like pragg is intuition+calculation+technical+tricky like nepo, arjun is attacking+intuitive+calculation, guki is insanely precise calculator according to carlsen+attacking+creative+ a bit less intuitive than pragg). Uzbekistan has just abdusattarov who is also a monster world#5 but rest are just good not killers with just 2650-2700 (here i am saying good realtive to top 10 in the world not underestimating them, their other 2 boards apart from abdu, sindarov and other guy are basically vidit with more attack but 20-30 less elo than him) not 2750+ unlike usa and india players, as for usa there is no universe in which so,fabi,levon (who are much older than our top 3) have more killer instincts, they are more experienced but recently pragg and gukesh have done very well in top tournaments against the same opponents & arjun vs levon is also an equal rivalry which started from champions chess tour so it's even. As for china, ding doing well makes their top 3 also very strong but again nothing is for certain about how ding plays these days.
In earlier Olympiads strongest top 3 we had was anand(who was old and much more solid compared to his glory days ), harikrishna(very solid and very good endgames but very drawish) & vidit (positional but again solid and had issues converting winning advantages that's why never reached top 10) and other attacking players of past like adhiban were hit and miss and much weaker than any of our current top 3. For the first time india has such a killer team in which none of the top 3 are too solid but actually killers(they are solid too but that's coz of their level so automatically any 2750 guy aka top 10 will be more solid than an inherently solid 2650 player if he wants to coz he works on more theory etc and needs to be universal so all top 10 can be very solid if they want to, but none of our top 3's inherent style is solid and safe chess unlike someone like so or giri.)
Also one more point - make no mistake elo also matters coz many top 10 or top 20 players have more killer instinct than carlsen like nepo, rapport, duda etc but they are simply weaker than him in terms of level & that's true against anyone as he is generally 2840-2860 whereas others in top 10 are generally 2750-2790 so he is about 60-80 elo higher than others so even though other players might be more attacking he is technically superior than them by level(60-70 elo higher) so he dominates.
Therefore inherent style matters only if the level of players isn't too much apart.
Hence my point is all our top 3 being 2750+ also give us a huge advantage coz all other teams top 3's will have some players in range 2650-2700 as well.
Dude last time we lost because we had a poor board 3 and 4, this team is collosal. Remember Gukesh won the most difficult tournament of chess.
I wanted Yifan as board 4 tbh
Put hikaru on any board and USA wins 2 individual and 1 team gold at least.
For that, he has to compete
Looks like Frank plays Pokemon too
Serbia hello??
They just won last year
Sarana 2730
Predke 2670
Indjic 2620
Ivic 2600
lol they completely destroyed by india in round 4
They were completely right!
I would atleast have the teams and their boards on a separate screen while trying to make a tier list. A lot of times you were unsure or just wrong, which is fine it is just that you are trying to compare teams and hence objectively need to know the players. Putting Norway above England and Iran is hilarious.
Do it for the women's teams as well.
Imagine how this ranking would look like if everyone were tryharding as coubtry like Azerbaijan
