- GM Adhiban Baskaran vs S. Tomic, Caro-Kann, Advance, Short Variation
11/18/18, Simultaneous Exhibition
Today I played my first game against a Gm (not counting blitz). A simultaneous exhibition was organized as part of the Tournament of Peace being held in Zagreb at the moment.
Adhiban Baskaran, an almost 2700 rated Indian grandmaster played about 20 Croatian players.
We entered a theoretical position in the Short Variation of the Advance Caro-Kann and he annihilated me in 17 moves. It was tough to play considering the time I had for each move (you have to move as soon as he arrives at your board). To make matters worse, I've decided to "test" out one of my aggressive ideas in the position. Needless to say, it didn't go to well.
I got in a position in which my king wasn't castled yet and two of my pieces were undeveloped. Horrible. When I thought I had managed to figure it out Adhiban found a wonderful tactical shot after which I was forced to resign.
I played the position out till mate to be polite. He is incredibly strong. It was an honor to play him! Back to the drawing board for me...
Hi mate, forget about the defeat...just think about the lesson and experience you gained. many of us sitting in front of the computer and playing games. You went so many steps ahead of your peers. You played against a GM. Oh man you are an inspiration!!.:-):-)
As always thanks for the support:)
Showing this proves how humble you are, a quality missing in many chess players. Just don't lose it when you get to GM
I hope I won't:) Thank you
Fun fact, Anand has a nicknane for Adhiban he call him the beast.
Haha. That's convenient.
So good of you to post this; so good to allow the mate:)) instrutive in a painful way:)
In a very painful way:D
Amazing how he saw the checkmate with two bishops.
an useful step on your road to GM and a good video!
Thanks for the everlasting support:)
I had a similar loss to GM Gregory Kaidanov in a simul back in the 90's when he was 2600+. I always refer to it as my miniature, lol. Nice touch allowing the mate.
Haha, ok, this is my miniature:D
Good learning experience mate.
It is very interesting going on this journey with you, many thanks for sharing. Do you think that Adhiban's status led you to play differently and perhaps gave him an advantage? Would you have played the same moves vs an 1800 club player?
7:20 cant you just take his knight with your queen
Yeah, that is correct. MIssed that. It would have worked if we entered that variation. Thanks:)
I think he can just take g7 with check and be a pawn up
You could have even played bishop X d3 as the queen was lost any way
I know I'm 3 years late, but that knight sacrifice almost made my heart stop lol
Nice motif that finished the game. Yeah, you should have allowed the final two moves, such a nice tactic!
Yeah, a great tactic. The worst thing is that it's lost if I spot it too:) I'm glad it was correct to play till mate, figured it was the right thing to do.
@@HangingPawns Baskaran Adhiban is such a chill dude. He wouldn't mind either way but as a player with the eye for aggressive chess I think he would appreciate the opportunity to play out such a visually pleasing mate. He is a beast btw, won the Reykjavik Open last year!
@@TheChessViking He is a beast! I think he might go well over 2700 in the next couple of years.
Baskaran is so funny and positive in the interviews I've seen of him. He's among the top of the list of grandmasters I'd like to be crushed by. Great game and analysis.
Best way to face Adhiban is to bore him with slow positional chess. He is called "The Beast" for his ultra-aggressive play. He loves to play wild variations where he can sacrifice multiple pieces and pawns just to checkmate his opponent. The Beast doesn't care for material, he hunts the king.
I like Caro Kann, I have played it a lot, but in my opinion it is just to difficult to play for black, especially the advanced variation, 3.. c5 is a move, but white can get clear edge if he knows what he is doing, and Short variation is just comfortable for white, more space, easier development, and white can also create a lot of pressure with 3.Nc3, exchage variation with 4.Bd3, Pannov attack, Kings indian attack, even 3.f3 (fantasy variation), it is very doable, but it is a lot of work and it is a big challenge for black to play..
I can't agree really. I think every variation of the caro offers black a solid game if teh knows what he is doing (unlike me in this game:)
thought you should have developed knights to c6 with tempo on Nd4 and e5pawn immediately continuing your agression putting your rook on standby daring him into some trade for your passive bishop if he so wished.
@7:18. After Nd6+, you can play Qxd6. Then probably exd6 Bxd6 Rd1 Rd8 should be fine right? You will castle next move and you're a pawn up on kingside.
There was Ng7 check instead of Nd6 check winning a pawn
Like your channel very much
Glad you do! thank you very much:)
Subham are you Bengali?
GMs are tough in simuls. I lost a close one to Seirawan due to several seemingly minor less than optimal moves. My suggestion is look at your moves in piece development.
Playing till mate to allow the elegant finish to be revealed is very gentlemanly. There are games where the loser was criticised for resigning two moves or so before a beautiful mate. Not resigning is only bad manners if you carry on pointless playing for ages lots of material down.
i watched the 2020 challenger rounds on fide channel on youtube, and these combinations like that k take pawn of him was regular stuff comentators GM's are thinking on the Challengers games
then i watch Vishy Anand with his move ideas, who is at yet another level over them.
i guess you for him was like that 10 yo girl rated around 1000 you beat in Zagreb 2019 open-for you. so many levels. and he is beaten by carlsen easily on the other hand......
7:17 you mention that you can't take on d5 with your Queen because of Nd6+ but since he hasn't taken your queen yet you can "sacrifice it" with ...Qxd6!, exd Bxd6. But the main problem is that you mixed plans and wasted large amounts of time with ...a6 (which wasn't really necessary) and ...h6+Bh7. All of White's minor pieces were already out and he was castled, so it's clear that you were doing something wrong.
There was Ng7 check instead of Nd6 check winning a pawn
never go sad, one day u will crush him
Use two different colour boards for actual and hypothetical moves .. to help visually understand the movement
The game against Pacher was not the first against a Gm? I'm confused
This was a simul, not a real game.
7:18.. he says he cant exchange queens due to the white knight checking the king winning an extra piece .. however, he missed the fact that he can simply take the knight with his queen, leading to a balanced game with even chances.
There was Ng7 check instead of Nd6 check winning a pawn
Lmao you are funny guy mate
Your comments like " I want to throw up... It's polite so I allowed him mate" nice self depreciating humor👍😉
This is an old video and I'm not in anyway better than you at chess but I have to note the following. You knew he'd play c4 before you played ...g5 and yet you played g5 and disliked your position immediately after he played c4. There is a question about the process here.
7:17. That analysis looks wrong. The knight is no safer on d6 than on f5 so long as he hasn't recaptured your queen. If Qxd1, Nd6+ you can win your piece back with the desperado Qxd6 or the simple Bxd6 and he has to take your queen instead of the bishop allowing eg Bxe5.
Wait, this video us years old.
