When people think you will lose the game because you spent a lot of time in the prep but you are just a chill guy who forgets his prep sometimes.

Fabiano's analysis is simply amazing and a privilege to listen to. Thank you!

[check]

This analysis is the best by far I've seen. I'll definitely be following the wc through this channel

[thenakedsingularity]

What I really love about this podcast is that there is no drama, there is no hype, just pure Chess discussion. Thank you for that.

2800-level analysis for a 2800-level match is what we all need. Truly appreciate the effort, C-squared.

Fabi: "I'm going to be looking to my left at some notes I have prepared"

Kramnik: 😡😡😡

[dark_magician_sdy]

Thanks so much, you guys have the best podcast. The best recap by far. Can't wait for more.

Knight outpost on B2 was savage. That sequence of almost blitzed out best moves was world champion material.

'You can't draw any conclusions on move 7'

Chat can draw conclusions from literally anything.

The crown jewel of chess content. Excited to watch even though I watched it live!

[twa]

Fabi and Ding still the nicest GMs out there

[inrain]

A lot of people already said it but I happily repeat it: That was one fine piece of analysis and much deeper than I've seen anywhere else. Fabi is the man.

[EPE]

In the end Ding thought almost 28 minutes, later explaining of 7.c3:

"I analyzed it, but I couldn’t remember what was the continuation. I had to decide to play the line I knew, but maybe didn’t know properly, or I needed to come up with a new idea myself, like in the game, and I chose the second one."

Fabiano Caruana and Hou Yifan are the commentators most able to clearly explain WC-level games to non experts. It’s a privilege to listen to them. Thanks. Cristian is a fantastic moderator too he poses salient questions and allows Fabiano the time to answer. This is peak commentary.

[sadman]

One of the best and most interesting analysis of a single game I've ever seen, and I've been following top level chess for over 40 years.

[mattivirolainen]

Even more annoying than people thinking Ding will be a pushover is that now I’ve seen people saying that Gukesh doesn’t deserve to be the challenger somehow.

Man, Fabi we need you to make it to the WCC again and claim it. This era of chess feels incomplete without you being the champ.

[lesilluminations]

What an education this is! I can't believe I got to watch this for free. Fabi has no equal in this format, not even Magnus, because he is such a lucid communicator who never lets ego get in the way. I hope to see more of this throughout the match and would love it even more if the podcast focused more on game analysis like this rather than gossipy topics. Kudos also to Christian for just allowing Fabi to talk.

[alexandersemper]

By far the most insightful and deep analysis available on the Internet.

Such a treat to have this podcast already up! Thanks Fabi and Christian!
