I think this is the game I and everyone else was waiting for - Great job Robert!

This might be the most impressive win he's ever had on the channel. At the end there was no time advantage left and Fabi had a better position but Robert saw the blunder and instantly punished it for a win.

Robert was losing, and Fabi blundered. Not hard to do, when you start off with 40% of the opponents time. What impresses me more, was that Fabi was making consistently good moves until he made a mistake.

Robert will be a GM. Cool to see his abilities grow along the way.

Ruthless Robert is definitely a various dangerous opponent for anyone in blitz chess. Well done, Robert!

Has Robert earned his first GM Norm yet? Also, how's his classical-time strength? So many good young players these days get so caught up in Blitz that they spend too little time really preparing for middle-game play in classical time control.

Blitz will be the norm an a few years anyway. New players are getting stronger and stronger exactly because they play more blitz.

What a game. One thing about Robert, this game showed his ability to take pressure and defend. Funny when I saw that he took back pawn with his f pawn instead of queen, I was surprised, but on deeper look it made sense. In the end, having that file open won him the game.

That was crazy, is good watch the greatest players sharing time with fans. Grat video guys.

Magnus is the next step after coffee chess :D

Blitz is definitely not Fabi's strong point, but he did win the candidates tournament and achieved world rank #2, really incredible achievements. Fabi was the first American player to compete for the title since Fischer I believe, thanks for taking the USA to the championship! I remember watching it on Twitch it was a blast. Nice game Robert GM title coming your way!

can you imagine how happy he must be to win against a super gm? the time odds weren't crazy either, they both had a minute at one point. what a great achievement.

The time odds were pretty crazy though? They weren't 1 to 5 minutes, but, in all fairness, only a handful of GMs can give those kinds of time odds to an IM. But 2 to 5 minutes is still a huge disadvantage. Otherwise, Black's position would've just collapsed under time pressure.

All respect to Caruana. By sitting down at Coffee Chess, he voluntarily takes the risk of losing a game and his reputation. It is so easy to make a little mistake, even if you are much better than your opponent.

The only people who would think his reputation is at stake when losing at 5:2 time odds are people who don’t really matter. Anyone that understands the game knows that Robert is too strong an IM to give those time odds to. It’s Fabi practicing. He didn’t lose. He’s smart enough to not care about folks that THINK he did.

Awesome!!!!!! Thanks guys

Put up some more Robert games, thanks 🙏🙏

Always love the music at the last minute!

Wow! Robert that was amazing!

nice game Roberts,, that rook d2 move was awesome

Robert is, without doubt, the strongest regular @ coffee chess.

Great win. I think this Robert has also an upper hand in the psychology. Has a great focus and killer instinct. Ruthless :)

Wow. That's a super GM Robert beat.

Fabi adopting NY survival disguise. Could be anyone looking like that.

The fact that Nakamura managed to win and only lose on time against this guy with 5:1 time odds make me understand how Hikaru it's on another planet in blitz game.

Thanks!

wow beautiful game! it's amazing, best move with time pressure.

We all hope one day Robert can become a GM and we can see him battle against the best players !! 🔥

Well done!

Chess is brutal. Fabi was outplaying him and then missed one detail in time trouble and it was over.

Robert is a monster... Definitely a future champion... I love watching him dismantle his competition.

Didn’t even start the game yet but I see 5:2 time odds. Against an IM of Robert’s ability, it’s simply a practice run for Fabi.

Robert is very good as the time trickles down. He tries hard to win

Robert vs Hikaru was still the best anime showdown of all time
