Fabi isn't having the best game series so far, as he's had some pretty bad losses ever since his break. It's a little heartbreaking for him since he's worked so hard to get to his peak, but it doesn't show on his face.

During the current chess match, he seems stone-faced. He's not an aggressive man, at least off the board, and he's just not one to be extremely emotional or outspoken like some of his GM contenders, but that definitely doesn't mean he doesn't feel the anxiety.

He glances over the board one last time before moving a piece, and he realizes his hand is shaking as he makes his move. He almost immediately hides it away by gripping a chess piece tightly enough that his trembling stops.

He needs to focus.
