He's not just the 3rd highest rated players, He's also the 3rd highest rated player of all time.

[ruddyminaya]

Gave me chills how well Fabiano knew how to move the pieces on the chess board while he was blindfolded. The best representation of the word passion.

"He's blind but he saw more than you"
"I'd like to see you beat the blind man"
"We both lost to the blind man"

You know you're playing a GM when he declines your botez gambit!

[perpetualbystander]

It would've been hilarious to see Magnus take over as soon as Fabiano was blindfolded. He would scratch his head like crazy, trying to understand what the hell just happened. 😅😂🤣

[Peter-hzvs]

We all know that caruana is gonna win even he has to go against both Alex and andrea😂😂. They should secretly switch andrea with Hikaru to prank him

[Yurio]

Blindfolded chess player asking if the game is touch move is not something I thought i'd ever see

[jaydubbs]

Alex is soooo competitive "I'm gonna flag a blind man!" She kills me 😂😂

[Slayteee]

he played with 90.5 accuracy against andrea and played 88.8 (it was 92.0 if he had played Ne5 check but he refused because of touch move) against alexandra

[chanddd]

I would never imagine he was also gonna play the pieces himself. Thats nuts.

[Lobi]

It’s always impressive to see people being able to remember the entire board and be able to play in your head. I remember seeing people just talk and play by saying where they move, while keeping up a conversation.

[JohnPaulCauchi]

Honestly fabi's hand-eye(?) co-ordination blindfolded is the most impressive part, like years of OTB and he just knows where the pieces are physically in space. Nbd7, Nf8 and particularly the smoothness Bb7xNe4 was wild lol

EDIT: AND Bxd4

[iseriver]

Fabi literally playing the pieces has just upped the ante of blindfold chess.

[vishrutkrishna]

This is a huge flex. Fabi is a total stud. ❤
2-0.
Beat her without taking the hanging queen
Beat her by voluntarily accepting a touch-move rule
🙏fab

[shawnlavigne]

He's one of the best ever. Hopefully, he'll be world champion one day.

[justbleedprod.]

There’s something about Fabi blind folded at 5:09 saying “I’m not sure about that” that is completely hilarious

[TheReddaredevil]

Fabi is really the #2 player not the #3 player. I know Hikaru briefly overtook him but to call him the world #3 because he wasn't #2 for a few months is kind of insulting.

[calculatorade]

Being blindfolded vs you two is a huge advantage.

[ngare.k]

Botez gambit at it’s finest. Doesn’t matter the odds

[rand]

Bro why are you making him move the pieces himself when he's blind 😂
