Fabi's performance in the US Championships might be a prelude to him becoming the new world champ, how do you guys think his form will be once the Candidates starts?
Yes i agree Fabiano is looking like a promising Candidate to win the tournament and even the upcoming Candidates in 2026. I think he has a real chance at becoming World Champion, he has been won the Candidates before also he has qualified for the past 10 years. Against Gukesh i think it may be promising if he holds on to the lead he has and we may very well see a new World Champion crowned.
