R.I.P mike your a legend

Basman very lucky e5 not played after nf6 in game 1

"His username is 1958 and is rating is 1949. So one of those is his date of birth" 🤣

It's delightfully strange how lucid positions emerge from unusual origins.

Super player, legend

I am sad that he left this world, but his history in chess will not be forgotten. Rest in Peace.

Wish i was that good to play this opening. Im really horrible at chess. I ordered his chess for beginners book. I hope it helps.

Rest in Peace

As a C4 player, the opening comment had me in stitches. Definitely appreciate the humor with which this man played his games. Sorry to read that he passed.

Rip mike. I play your st george and macho grob.

rest in peace Mr. Basman 😌

RIP, absolute legend

Luv ya baseman RIP

RIP Mike. Defeating an engine with g4 in 2020. What a guy!

The first tournaments I ever played were Mike Basman's tournaments. He encouraged a generation of kids to take up the game.

Rest in Peace Sir IM Michael Basman

RIP Mr Basman. You taught me chess 30 years ago and were so humble and patient. Thank you!

Great talent. Met him once. Lovely man and very original thinker. RIP Mike.

Hello, sir. I'm your biggest fan from India, I really respect your thought process, you are ahead of time. Yes you are original, and creative. In my view Chess is all about creativity. I also read books on killer grob, sent gorge, and creapy Crowley opening, which is the real eye opener for me before that I thought that computer is chess, and memory is chess. Thank you sir for sharing the real beauty of that famous game. I wish if there is a meeting with you. Wish you live 1000 years with good health.

Play with increments

Thank You

Thank you
