Fabiano wins again

Neo-mhàin air Fabiano bhuannaich na tagraichean a tha e cuideachd air a bhuannaich an Grenke Classic anns a 'Ghearmailt, a tha an sàs Magnus Carlsen cho math. Magnus dh'fhàillig a bhuannaich an fharpais, ach Fabi rinn. A 'sealltainn e air deagh fhoirm aig an àm. Urrainn e cumail an fhoirm seo a 'dol gus an Dùbhlachd? Am faigh e gu leòr taobh a-staigh ceann Magnus gu outsmart e ann an Lunnainn? 'S e sin a' labhairt phuing tàileasg ann aig an àm. Not only has Fabiano won the candidates he has also won the Grenke Classic in Germany, which involved Magnus Carlsen as well. Magnus failed to win the tournament, but Fabi did. Showing he is on good form at the moment. Can he keep this form going till December? Can he get sufficiently inside the head of Magnus to outsmart him in London? That is the talking point of chess at the moment. (translation using google translate appologies for any gramatical or spelling errors, leave feedback either here or with google...

Don't Panic!
