The fact that Fabiano plays so well yet failed to beat Magnus shows how strong Magnus is . I'm not a fan of Magnus but I really think that someone really needs to think out of the box to beat Magnus . Fabi usually plays theory like a machine and he did that in 2018 vs Magnus again and again until Magnus held his own and struck . There was recently a game where Mamedyarov shocked Magnus and destroyed him with some weird manoeuvre and this is also one of the reasons why Nepo is leading vs Magnus one on one .

even with the bad run, and losing classical points/placement on live, he is still like top 2-3 with Anish atm (in my opinion). In a few years, geniuses like Alireza will overtake him, but now i would consider him harder to beat the Magnus, (but harder to lose as well). Both him and Anish are playing very defensevly, and with the preparation, knowladge and experience they have, its really really hard to break that.

I honestly pause the video every time when it's time to pick the best move. I am just learning how to play chess, and my favorite is trying to figure out problems (though I've heard that is not the best way to practice chess because most positions won't appear in a real game). However in my defense, for someone who has very little experience, it allows me to think in a different way, as far as an approach that I normally wouldn't that I think is very beneficial and even if it's not the same position in a regular game, I will be able figure out a better move when otherwise I'd be blind to other posibilities. That being said, whenever I get the right answer for a correct move in any agadmator's challenge, which doesn't happen often (however, I managed to be successful this time) it honestly feels so good. Agad, if you read this, you have a great way of explaining the game and I was wondering if you ever considered making a type of educational/tutorial/training video? Such as common openings, common attacks, common defense, types of strategies. I think it would made a great series, and hopefully I am not the only one who thinks this, but I'd watch the hell out of them.

b4 was the winning move obviously, as that is when Fabi started to dictate the flow. Got to say, been greatly enjoying following Fabi games for the last month. Fabio may be future champ 1 day, his chess is so sharp and energetic. Magnus is so incredible though. Magus ability to press the tiniest advantage into a win is well, what makes Magnus the current GOAT.

Yeah, I'm a huge fan of Fabi's complicated torture style but I have to say that this win is more about one player being extremely experienced in classical chess, balancing his time and deep thinking and the other player just wants to crack it so bad and commits too much time for it. Fabi could try to find improvements, as some of them mentioned by Agad but that would also give Firouzja enough time to consolidate. Instead he played moves that would preserve the advantage and let Firouzja to disprove it on a really short time. I can see that two or three years older Firouzja would treat the position differently.

Let me know if anyone finds a move that counters this, because I thought it was pretty forced. Defends the f5 pawn, with the idea to just play Re5 and be protecting the bishop in case alireza tried something other than taking the bishop.
