I Played Fabiano Caruana Again...

Made a little video about my day and it was brigaded by a lot of people who are living in Ukraine and dealing with the consequences of the Russian barrages on them. And they were very unhappy with me basically saying that the Spanish outage was the largest ever in European history. Which from a power outage perspective was true, but from one country bombing another wasn't. And I was like, I don't know why you guys are upset at me. I'm not bombing the... I was like... That was weird. And I suppose I should have used better language. But, you know, I was like, all right, that sucks. People were that upset. Has a good time, made her interesting about chess. Oh, you're very welcome. The Munich show was a lot of fun. It was weird for me to be on the ground. But I hope you liked it. So far, I have not gotten a single negative review of the tour. I really think we worked really, really hard for it. And I think it showed. I think it showed, no? Am I Russian or... You know what's funny? I'm half Russian, half Ukrainian. My dad's family's from Kiev. My mom is from Kazan. I mean, we're Jews. So it's different than being Russian and Ukrainian. But I'm a Russian Ukrainian Jew. Honestly, tough to be tough to be that combo nowadays. Really. The tour in Warsaw was ass. Okay. Dude, you were not there, bro. I don't know why you're trying to pretend like you were at the show. Increase in anti-Semitism? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, like 10x probably. I mean, dude, I made a video of Hans Niemann the other day. I got a comment from a guy. He said, Fabiano Caruana is who I'm playing. Very nice. Very nice. I think Fabi's going to play some stupid thing and beat me. Fabi's incapable of being a normal person sometimes. Yeah. There you go. I told you. This is how he gets off. This is how all these top players get off. They, you know, they got to do this nonsense because this is how they feel good about themselves. You know? It's weird. I mean, I wish he would just play normally, but it's fine. I'm not, you know, I'm not mad. I get it. If I was also really good, I would probably do the same thing. Let's go here. It's kind of a little... Play this at some point. Or this. It's a strange position. Take, take. Take, take, take. I never liked that name. Knight e4. Okay. Let's go c4. Try to undermine the Fabiano Caruana center a little bit. There can't be anything wrong with the move Rook ac1. I beat Fabi once and I made a YouTube video out of it, so it's probably just fair game now. Rook fd1. Rooks are in the middle, ready to go. I expect something like this from Fabi. I guess I should not have expected something like that. He's a principled man. Take, take. Take, take. Okay, let's play like this. So I'm not blundering anything too stupid. I don't want to play this as well. Interesting move. Uh, we can... What can we do here? Can we do anything? There's some moves for me and him as well. Very congested in the middle of the board. Bishop b5 might have been strange, but I guess I just didn't want to get... Yeah. How about knight b3? Is this ridiculous? How stupid is this move? Is it stupid? I calculated knight f2, but I thought after this it just shouldn't work. And also after this, I was thinking we can just take on c5. He takes. I mean, okay. No, bishop b7 looks incorrect. That looks incorrect. I'm gonna play here now. Yeah, I like my position. Ah, g6 is the sign of a troubled man. Maybe I should have brought you back into the game somehow. I'm just looking to make some trades. I don't want to take. Is that ludicrous? I think I'm playing pretty sensible moves. Yeah, maybe taking the knight was not the best, but I gave him the bishop pair, but I'm not too impressed with the pawn structure. Now, how beta do we want to play this? Maybe queen c1 first was better. Here. I think he's gonna make this move. Edgy. g4. Looking for this. Putting some... a little pressure. I've got some pressure on this pawn. I kind of like it. Maybe I start bringing my king as well. Ng2, that type of stuff. So far, so good. Putting some pressure on big fobs. Ooh. Okay. Wow. We're getting dynamic. Dynamic in the game. I don't know what I should do. All right, let's go to a8. It's a ridiculous passive this is becoming. Getting a little cooked here maybe. My bishop on a8 is like really idiotic. I don't know what's happening there. Here. Nah, but this is nonsense. Fabi doesn't have anything here. Shouldn't be anything substantial. I'm gonna take and play knight f5. Oh! Oh, I was trying to... I literally just spaced out for literally one move. It's just probably equal knight c2. Knight c2, it's a draw. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Just knight c2 and it's a draw. Oh my god. I knew knight e3 was coming on the previous move and I just played bishop d5.
