Probably like he does in Chess ♟️

This interview is a great example (and showcase) on why interviews in any sport should be done by people that not only play the sport, but interact organically with the community and athletes. They are both aware of each other, and their contributions to the sport. So there's that mutual respect. However, no punches are pulled, and no question is off the table. Even with that, they're obviously comfortable, and the answers ring true, instead of a "copy paste" memorized to answer media. And I do realize that most media time is set to a lower time bracket than this. Having a 20m plus interview with one of the best at any sport is, indeed, quite a treat. Great job.

Ай бұрын

I'm honestly thinking that they are at a such high level at chess that it's hard for them to tell the difference between 800 vs 1200 ELO for example. Even considering the Chess ELO scale, I doubt someone with 50 hours of practice would be 1200 ELO. At 1200 ELO in chess, you will likely beat most of your friends/family. With 50h of tennis practice you probably will not beat most people you know. Also for context, in the Tennis ELO scale, where the top players are ~2200, the players in the 450th ranking worldwide have 1200 ELO

in this interview specifically, fabi kinda carries the interview. Not insulting Levy, but Fabi is a fantastic interviewee. Never gives the boring short answer. Always gives an interesting detailed answer

I really enjoyed this. Fabi is obviously an amazing player, but his reserved personality kept him slightly more under the radar. I've seen enough interviews and commentary from him to become a big fan, he's smart, thoughtful, careful and insightful. Whilst I'm rooting for Hikaru in the candidates, I wouldn't be sad to see Fabi win.

One comes to expect at least a touch of narcissism from people who are elite at anything, but Fabiano seems to be able to analyze his own performance and behavior in a completely rational fashion. That is truly a rare skill, very admirable. I like Levy in this kind of format.

I like Fabi. He's not an egotistical A-hole. He's quiet, honest, intelligent, and thoughtful. He's a lot like me, but with an Elo 2,500 above mine. He and Hikaru are my favorite players to watch, especially if they are playing against Hans.

The way Fabi talks, he's like the super villain, psychopath antagonist from psychological thriller movies. 😅

Fabi is such a wonderful personality. We are so lucky to live in an era with such gracious, humble top players, at least for the most part. And good on you, Levy, for not pulling any punches. Some of these questions were uncomfortable, but you asked with care and respect. Could watch you two talk for hours. Thanks!

I actually dont even doubt that caruana will became WC some day most probably this year ,statistics shows clearly he is second after Magnus no matter how much Hikaru tries to be Magnus's ultimate Rival ,but in reality that position belongs to none other than calculating machine CARUANA himself....❤❤❤
