It's hyperbole ... he threw the game on purpose, for the purpose of showing his opponent, that he can forgo taking his queen and still not lose ... even though he could have taken his queen. It's like hitting your opponent with the flat part of your sword till they give up because they are exhausted, showing them not only are you not exhausted, but you are laughing and could have killed them anytime you wanted. While his opponent was trying their hardest he himself was taking in the scenery, taking his time and enjoying that the opponent couldn't find a way to beat him.

Yes, Adhiban is an exceptional player and out of Eric's league, But I just love Eric's art of defense in all his games. He never gives up and he becomes more attentive in the endgame. Thumbs up!!!
Taking the queen wasn't the strongest move, amazingly. Taking the bishop as played was stronger. I checked with Stockfish although I don't really understand the logic!
@@edmorrison5645 logic is the bishop is a 'free' piece rather than to be trade (even if it's more valuable). Taking the queen is (giving up the knight, which is well positioned in the center of the board also.
Fantastic video... props to Adhiban for making it more interesting by not taking the queen.... and props to Eric for holding it together it looked really tough there for a while.
Probably not, as the computer marks this opening as inferior and losing for black. The computer refutes all the lines for this opening. It'll go down as a gambit not to play, in any serious tourney. It may be fun to watch humans play it, but thats not where the advancement of chess is.
@@staryoke An opening doesn't have to be sound for it to be studied theoretically or written about in books. It's more of a question of what novelties Eric has discovered in this openings and if someone chooses to write about the Stafford in an openings or gambits book. Also, even top GM's can lose to dubious openings if they are under-prepared or if there is some particularly venomous novelty. Just take a look at Fabiano's novelty against Ding from the first half of the candidates. If I remember correctly, it was really dubious but it was so venomous that the world #2 thought it could get him a win in the most important chess tournament of the year. Ofc, Ding is a beast when it comes to calculation so he managed to refute it correctly and still win though. But regardless, chess is about much more than just engine evaluations.

GM vs IM. Im a 1800 player and the skill level between 1800 and 2000 level is enormous. My friend is 2000 rated and I loss 10 out of 10 matches or maybe draw 1 or 2 if I play really great. A difference of 100/200 is creating that much difference. Then think of the difference between an IM and a GM.
@@auctal4625 the elo system does not work like that. 1800 is less likely to beat 2000 than 2000 to beat 2200. 2200 is more likely to beat 2400 and 2400 even more likely to beat 2600 and the battle between 2600 and 2800 is really unclear as to who may win. Statistically higher rated player should win more games but not all games.
Taking the bishop was the better move. It was insane the guy in the background said that. Its also amazing i had stockfish on when the game was going and the move where the GM said he lost the advantage was the move. Great game. Very entertaining.
You can analyse the game with an engine on lichess as Eric pasted the PGN in the description. The Stafford Gambit is not sound so the rook gambit turned an advantage of about +2 to equality. Adhiban then totally outplayed Eric in the middlegame, missing several chances for a win. He then blundered 50. Rg3 and Eric missed 51...Ra3 (instead of h4), which wins.
