How I Beat Fabiano Caruana

In this video, I play GM Fabiano Caruana at a local blitz tournament at the Saint Louis Chess Club. The game featured an exciting battle emerging from a rare variation of a London/Jobava London Opening.

First Fabiano in St.Louis . Next Magnus in New York . Best of luck Eric .

Eric having "clean up time" against Fabiano is the most badass thing

[SharpTern]

7:00 He's nervous...but on the surface...he looks calm and ready...to drop bombs...

[Svuem]

Magnus, Hikaru, Fabiano. Eric has beaten every player in the top 3 now. Amazing stuff

[RishabhSharma]

Magnus been real quiet since this dropped

1:13 one of the most dedicated jobava players alex banzea almost always allows knight takes bishop and it proved to result in a very playable position despite double pawns which I believe he called the boa snake setup.

Oh God this is awesome, congrats Eric. I love how you don't automatically aim for a draw against GMs and super GMs. Amazing mentality, and amazing play. GG.

I'm so proud of you Eric! Fabi is an outstanding player and so are you. Thanks for bringing us on your Chess journey.

The masterstroke was dxe5 - he was expecting the Queen and him missing how bad things would be with the d1 rook and his own bishop gone is what what began to tilt it.

Holy crap, this is HUGE! Congrats!! Must be a massive confidence boost before the world rapid and blitz!

[KathaEveryu]

Awesome work Eric! My own heart was beating fast watching the game play out on the screen and I knew who won already, I can't imagine being in your position. Love the games and can't wait to see more!

[anorangewithacapybaraunder]

What percentage of the world can say that they beat the world #2 in a chess match?!
Bragging rights well deserved 👍

[nuagor]

Blitz can be a little more chaotic - good chances for upsets. Congrats, Eric!
