Michael J. Basman – Anish Giri
London Chess Classic Rapidplay; London, December 6, 2014
Grob’s Attack A00

A day in the life, when – after four rounds and four wins – 68-year-old International Master Michael John Basman faced the world’s Number Seven, Anish Giri! 1. g4. “I have never been quite sure whether this is the worst opening move or whether that dubious title belongs to 1. f3. At least after 1. f3 d5 White can play 2. f4, or after 1. f3 e5 2. e4 Bc5 3. f4!?, but 1. g4 gives no such opportunity. One of the best ways to manhandle this miserable move is to play a sharp gambit against it”, Raymond Keene wrote. 1. ... d5 2. h3 e5 3. Bg2 c6. The so-called Keene Defence. 4. d4 e4 5. c4 Be6. For 5. ... Bd6 6. Nc3 Ne7! (with Keene’s notes) see the “Everlasting Grobstopper” Basman – Keene, Manchester 1981. 6. Nc3 Ne7 7. f3 Ng6 8. fxe4 dxe4 9. Bxe4 Bxc4 10. Nf3 Bb4 11. Qc2 Nd7 12. h4 Nf6 13. h5. “Better is 13. Bg5 [...] 13. ... Qd6 14. Bxf6 gxf6 15. 0-0-0 and the game is open to every possible result”, our brother in arms The amazing Chess World said. 13. ... Ne7 14. h6 gxh6 15. Bxh6 Nxg4 16. Bg5 Qa5 17. Rh4 h5 18. a3 Bxc3+ 19. Qxc3 Qxc3+ 20. bxc3 f6 21. Bd2 Kf7 22. Bc2 Rae8 23. e3 Ng6 24. Bxg6+ Kxg6

25. 0-0-0. A blunder, after which White resigns, without waiting for 25. ... Be2. In any case, also after 25. Rh3 Kf7 Black’s position is imposing. 0 : 1.
