  • In this video, I share my round 3 chess game against GM Baadur Jobava from the 2022 Abu Dhabi Masters Tournament. The game featured the Lion Variation of the Philidor Defense and an insane checkmating sequence.

    Genius Jobava may be but Eric you are a treasure. Well done in the review/explanation.
    The value of this teaching is high. YES Eric took his Queen out of play by considering the attack employing a grim gal.
    I have developed a new chess tool here today called "Bava brain and the scooch."
    Twice Jobava employed the scooch method of removing the opponent's pawn obstacles.
    Making the pawn take his piece and vacate the rank needed for the attack.
    I do not think like that, or perhaps I did not in the past, however ?
    Jobava saw that he wanted the bishop to corner the King and needed the rook to be on the same diagonal of his Queen once the fan was hit. Knowing Eric's defense required using his d rook to block on h3. Jobava knew the e rook would be flopping in the wind cold and vulnerable... harvesting helpless hanging Castles can be emotionally rewarding.
    Jobava created a symphony in this game, all in his dynamic brain while Eric watched on amazed and drooling.

    Seems like Eric is trying to play how he does online: not playing critical positions or sticking to best principles (like keeping the bishop pair - also gave it up vs Predke) but instead going for interesting sidelines and trying slightly dubious but tricky ideas in the midgame. Unfortunately that's going to get you crushed when playing a super GM in classical OTB...
