Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana: New Streaming Partners

Since the online chess boom, the presence of the top chess players on the internet has been more prevalent than ever. On April 3, 2025, Magnus Carlsen did a Twitch stream with none other than his arch rival, Fabiano Caruana.

The livestream was a part of the campaign set up by their team for the 2025 Esports World Cup, Team Liquid. Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana are players with the highest and the 3rd highest ratings, respectively, in the history of chess. The two were seen having a light-hearted exchange, followed by analysis and discussion on the games they played during the 2018 World Chess Championship. The discourse was not only highly informative but also gave the viewers a chance to understand the mentality behind the decisions they made during that match in London. Since the competition was behind them, Magnus and Fabi could open up and share their unhinged impressions.

Catch the two giants of the sport live while the broadcast is publicly available on Carlsen’s Twitch channel (@maskenissen). This livestream is going to stand as the highest-rated collaboration between two players until we get Magnus and Hikaru in the same room.
