Probably my most embarrassing game · Road to GM, Game 336

I'll be showing you the games I played in the last few months and recording regularly from now on. Starting with a very bad, very embarrassing game I've played in the final round of the Sesvete Open against a Lower rated opponent.
It was a normal Reversed London against the Reti. Up to a point. My opponent chose an idea I'd never seen before and I was confused, played poorly, allowed a massive attack to happen, and should have lost by move 20. Please learn from my mistakes.

11:08 if he takes bxc the bishop on b2 is hanging

[@aboubakar2002]

Hi ! Stejpan glad to hear that you are in France, Toulouse ! Big fan of you and I am also currently living there. Hope you are having a good time.

[@forky_chess]

Hey Stjepan, finaly back again🎉

[@HangingPawns]

Yeah, sorry for the absence. had a lot going on. Regular videos now:D

[@JannesDragon]

Welcome back!​@@HangingPawns

[@billagap3213]

I think sometimes you overthink positions. Like you said he played Ne2 and you got confused. Play by principles. Either retreat your bishop, develop your dark square bishop, your other knight, castle. Moves you would anyway make.

[@the_arachnerd451]

always a treat seeing an upload from you, thanks!

[@MrIAMpeanut]

Our hero is back! A day with a stjepan upload is a good day 😎

[@personofearth1541]

If that's your worst game you don't wanna see mine at 1800. I'd be well happy with that game.

[@Sickerror]

Nice to see you back

[@alexweitz]

7:48 isn’t Bd3 a move here? Pins the knight, if he moves it, you take the bishop and he has to either lose castling kingside rights or undevelop his knight

[@lelandp17]

sometimes you need to think in a simpler way

[@89spinoza]

Great video, very interesting!

[@ywreck]

Welcome back

[@mckenziearchibald4510]

Hryo i also had one of my worst games in a while in this exact openinh 2 days ago.

[@Banito13]

At 11:22 you pin the pawn to the bishop so if pawn takes then queen takes bishop...? (Correct me if I'm wrong)

[@almost12inches]

I put in the computer to check, it's a completely free bishop

[@citizen6458]

interesting sponser, i will check it out

[@Banito13]

Bienvenue en France

[@carokus]

Hi, where could I find PNG on your CaroKann or other openings?

[@HangingPawns]

Some of them are on my patreon page. Just search for "opening" or specific opening name.

[@AykhanHajiyev13]

Stjepan, can you make an eplaylist about the Stonewall attack?

[@JasperDeBlock-sd5wf]

Why can you not take with the knight on g4 instead of Nd7 at 2:22 ?

[@seebasschipman293]

Nxg4, Fxg4, bxg4, qxg4. Sacrifice doesnt work you just lose material

[@JasperDeBlock-sd5wf]

@@seebasschipman293 no it works i just checked. you take on h4

[@arjunverma8435]

Tomic, I really appreciate your efforts but you need to find a new coach to break through the plateau.

[@billagap3213]

I don't think the coach is the problem. Maybe he reached his chess ceiling. After all he's not really young to keep improving. He's 2000 at his 30s.

[@andsviat]

Qc8? My rating is about minus 3000, but even I saw that as a very bad move. Proves the point how easy it is to watch a game and not play it. Also, how many times did Ben say "Never play f6."? Not enough, apparently))

[@bluefin.64]

Never say never. I watched Ben play f6 in a game and then say "always play f6." LOL

[@citizen6458]

welcome back young buck

[@H4mgus]

So happy the goat is back

[@GustavoFreitas-fe4rq]

He's baaaack!
