The Corner of the Immortals (chess videos): Caruana: excellence and brilliance | The corner of the immortals
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Fabiano Caruana (Miami, 1992) is already one of the players with the most games in El Rincón de los Inmortales, and everything indicates that this will not be the last because right now (January 2024) he is the main favorite for the planned Candidates Tournament for April in Toronto (Canada), whose winner will challenge the world champion, Liren Ding, at the end of the year. Caruana was very close to achieving the crown in 2018, when he lost the quick tiebreaker once morest Magnus Carlsen in the London duel, and no one would be surprised if he occupies the throne six years later.
The wonder that this video highlights includes two elements that increase its great beauty. The opponent was none other than the Russian Vladimir Krámnik, Gari Kasparov’s executioner in 2000. And the game was fast, which makes it almost impossible for the viewer not to wonder how one can play so well at that speed.
