    and what has the greatest winning streak of all time have to do with 7-0?

    Great analysis as always Levy, but you could have perhaps focussed more on how Fabi has truly mastered the techniques of the TEMPO and GAMBIT, which are the most important things to master in order to become a 3000+ rated cyborg overlord.

    It's an incredible streak but Fischer's was more impressive. Included in the 20-win streak was 4 straight wins against Petrosian, statistically (I believe) the toughest GM in history to beat. Fischer was on another level in '70-'72. He also spotted the champion a 2-0 lead, then beat him by 4 pts in a 21-game match.

    This third game against Levon Aronian was absolutely insane.
    Normally when Grandmasters play I immediately know what they are doing with their moves. It usually seems relatively straight forwards once you have seen the move because the hard thing about chess is not to understand a move once you see it but to see a move in the first place with so many possibilitys.
    In the game Fabi vs Levon I was at times utterly confused about the moves Fabi played. Many of them were just super counter intuitive and very very hard to spot.
    Fabi either had very deep engine prep or unrivaled genius. I assume it was the former. Still amazing.
