[FutureGM]

Caruana is the only one who could (and maybe still can) reach magnus ' level in classical

[seinundzeiten]

most people watching, underestimate how strong Caruana truly is...

[aominy]

Fabi is the 2nd best player in the world with no doubt . But the match being this close with a 18 yo that means this guy will definitely be a world champ one day

[SneakyCheeseThief]

That was very cleverly played by Caruana near the end. You watch the bar go down with that rook move and you wonder … but he knew exactly what he was doing.

[treefuns]

At 9:14 Prag moved N-A6 which was mistake according to SF 15.1 giving white an advantage of +3.50 after Q-G6. Better move for Black was N-D5.

[ayushkapadi]

Damn! That rook blunder at the end was intense...

[chessjester]

Fabi just needs to let that fro grow to epic proportions. And he could start storing his Chess pieces in it.

[pushingyourownagenda]

the candidates gonna be a mouth watering event with pragg at his peak performance

the good thing is he doesnt have to worry about sponsorship anymore and can fully focus on his game


with the extra money incoming he can afford the best seconds, trainees and engines




obviously fabi is the favourite but we never know ! :D

[jzkramer]

Caruana sees that one extra move beyond Pragg.

[JaiSriRam]

Prag lost because of time pressure, Hardluck. You played well Champ🧡

[AlokSharma-sb]

Fabi is know as a machine in calculations.

[colesmatteo]

fabi with the rook cannon! classic maneuver often sought amongst us amateurs.

[stronzer]

The tactical hand shake @ 4 sec threw all Fabbies future moves out the window
Pragg knows how to subdue even the best laid plans

[treefuns]

At 7:05, I input the put position in stockfish 15 and it showed +0.63 advantage to white, so Prag had great position till that but some inaccuracies after that.

[parasuraman]

Magnus rated Fabio Caruna as his greatest classical oppponent, correct?
That is the ultimate compliment worth at least 2850 Elo points considering that he has had Karpov, Kasparov, and Vishy as opponents, all world champions multiple times. Also Kramnik, though not in a WC match.

[Kmher]

That was a good game I didn’t even see that rook to E2 . I was thinking of taking the pawn with either queen or rook

[kevinwellwrought]

Qd6 by black was a bad blunder but psychologically Pragg wanted to get out of the annoying pin but out of the frying pan into the fire!

[holidayentertainment]

Pragg just needs to play a lot of blitz he usually gets nervous during less time controls.
He can beat anyone Im just waiting to see him taking the throne

[AbhishekKumar-hkfs]

Yellow mark on evaluation bar is little bit off, Any reason? @Chessbase India

[ChandanKumar-vvre]

The move en passant was just awesome .
