Usually on TH-cam when the title says "Guy In Bar Said He Beat KASPAROV" it's a huge bluff. But Manuel Bosboom is the real deal; he ACTUALLY beat Kasparov in a blitz game. Legend!
Yeah I saw the title and i was like "oh a funny drunk guy will say he beat Kasparov" and then I realized he knew how to play the game and that it was true
The dude is Manuel Bosboom, IM and one of the best Dutch blitz players. His highest FIDE Elo rating was 2471. So no weak self claimed drunk hustler as he might have appeared to some :)
Any Dutch chess player knows this is NOT just some random guy in a bar. IM Bosboom is a well respected, highly creative and above all very friendly chess master, perhaps the strongest player never to have been awarded GM title...
@@cl1489 No way. Emory Tate took a long-time to get even IM title. Ever heard of Michael Brooks? He is an IM from Missouri friend of Tate. He was 2620 USCF and 2520 FIDE at his peak, He never became GM -- so there are a lot of these strong IMs in the US who would have been GM had they lived in Europe. There weren't enough titled tournaments in US back then.
Hi Manuel, I've just found this on TH-cam . I was good friends with your brother David in Lagos , Portugal in the late 80's, and stayed with you guys in Zaandam in 1988 I think . I have fond memories of you both . Please give my best wishes to David...it was great to have met you both .
It's a lot of fun to see Anna getting her heini whopped by a drunk dude 🙂 (and I mean really absolutely no offense to neither Anna nor IM Bosboom; I wish I could ever play as half as well as either of them...)
I LOVED to watch this Anna! Was one of the best ever! Really liked the "bar ambience" sound and the chill beet vibes! Really amazing player opponent you found also!! and insane that he won against Kasparov!!
That was a great stream. She was sitting in the tavern playing chess for about 4 hours in the sweltering heat. She never lost her energy. If we could tap into Anna's energy and share it with the world, there would be no more talk about brownouts, blackouts or grid failures.
Manuel was once married to WGM and IM Tea Lanchava. He is a chess bohemien of the old stamp and will thus probably die in poverty, but having pursued his passion in life.
The video with Magnus brought down my esteem of her quite a bit, because she completely disregarded the dude she was initially playing. I get that the world champion, and arguably GOAT is there and it's a unique opportunity but at least say smth, like "hey, Carlsen is there, let's draw and go watch him?"
My respects to Anna for being out in the field going through all these challenging chess games with Amazing players. Win or lose for her is still fun because she’s picking out their brains, learning and growing. 🎩
This is quite an amazing opponent - you'd think he was just another chess BS-er, but he was quite the surprise! That was fun. Just want to know how many beers transpired between the daylight chess game and the nighttime game - and he's still truckin'. Thank you, Anna! That was fun.
I do think maybe he bsed a bit. He only played the Wijk aan Zee tournament (not then called Tata Steel) in 1998, not 1999, and Kasparov didn't play the 1998 tournament!
In Holland we have more players like this that will surprise you. I often played in coffeeshops not the normal coffee though i mean weed. I was husseling People quit easy. Well today everybody can become a great player while copying engine moves. This why i love to play on time 2 or 3 min. This way it is much harder to play a 100%. After 32 years i am quite happy about my strenght. Just like this guy someone you would never think to play that well.
amazing how GM/IM, not only think 5 steps ahead, but they have memories of tricks books in their head. Giving that pawn away to setup the whole game. Very difficult to play someone of that caliber. Like playing against a computer Gran Master.
Is there evidence? He says he was invited to the 1999 Wijk aan Zee tournament where he beat Kasparov in blitz, but he seems to have only been in the 1998 tournament which Kasparov skipped, not the 1999 edition.
That guy was no joke. I was worried at first that he was some storyteller that played Kasper Garryapov or something but after watching him play, maybe what he says about beating Kasparov once is quite true. Secret IMs among us.
the coffee chess crowd should take note of this: Anna's opponent wasnt thrown off his game by Anna's smiles. stay focused on the board, do not look up when she laughs and smiles. best advice i can give you guys :) great game gl to all and ty Anna for your smiles and the chess stream
I think Manuel is a step above the coffee chess regulars. They do have masters who show up though. But not sure how many IMs show up, and I don't think any are regulars?
2:50 "you can resign if you like ..." trash talk by a European gentleman is on a higher level 11:15 "best move ... but not good enough" Another thing about these guys: you can feed them alcohol for hours until they are not able to stand, but their chess is unaffected.
I love that moment when he realizes he's in trouble and starts playing for real... And then suddenly he blunders the game altogether just to win on time at the end. 🤣
Having played and spoken to Manuel many times, this dude gives off a different vibe, and it feels like he plays a different game than all of us!! I am curious if he did the usual showing studies after the games! :D
He plays on many levels as I can see on the video, also on a psychological level as he always makes impression that he sees moves that you do not see :D
She might have lost every game but….at the beginning of the last match she won the battle for the positioning of the clock …one step closer to beating Kasparov 🤗
Hihi wow what a cool footage, I know Mr. Manuel in person, he is really nice, very own minded, philosophical, rides a bike like lightning and lives in a mill. Great guy!
Very Cool to see you play against a Dutch IM I know this didnt get mentioned But the way the guy talks the accent and his way of pronouncing Groningen There is no way that guy isnt dutch xD Anna what i do notice when you play blitz Is that you take alot of time at the start of the match. which causes you to lack time at the end when you really need it. Perhaps its better to make some more rushed but safe early choices so you hit end game with more then 10 seconds on the clock xD
I actually liked this so much, that for now on when I go out to a bar I’m bringing my travel chess board with me. Never thought about this but it’s a cool idea. I’m sure many in her part of the world do it often. I’ve never seen it here in NJ .
I played a chess game against Bobby Fischer in 1969 when I was in college in Michigan. I beat him, which was to be expected since I had to teach him how the pieces moved. My only regret was that he wasn't the Bobby Fischer who was a famous chess player. But one must settle for what one can get. :)
He didn’t win. I honestly don’t see what happened, if she just lost on time? They were even at the end even if she thinks she blundered. She still had her bishop to defend her rook
Thanks for sharing this, Anna. First game reminded me playing against some strong old players in a park. They were just so good at chess... and so fast too. They played in tournaments. I didn't
I noticed that when he thinks and spends time in thinking, he always thinks at least 2 moves ahead, so once he starts playing , you get confused and rethink and when you finally decide and press the clock he immediately plays and transfers turn back to you so you loose some more additional time.
2nd game was better. To win with the Q. Gambit it is better to not play 3 pawns in the center. It may looks strong but it is easy to break. Just play it safe with d4 c4 (a3) Nc3 d3 Nf3 Be2 0-0. Maybe even go catalan. But wait for the attack when fully mobolized. Than the Queens Gambit is at it strongest. If you can get the Black bishop it will be a safer game. The Black fianchetto is a strong bishop. Maybe it can be an idea for the endgame to go for a pawnstorm. So slowly pushing forward i think is the way to go. I make sometines mistakes i can't stand myself. And sometimes i can beat higher players than myself. One mistake is enough...
WOW...lol..I agree with "aj" below: I was thoroughly convinced that you were baiting us; that he was just another BS-er until he rolled open with a powerful Kings Indian, and with style yet! This is no "talker"...he is the real deal! :) Excellent games and as always, great to see your humble humor. :)
Manuel is such a great person he play for en passant spakenburg and I play draughts at the same evening they have club competition in the same building such a friendly man
It was side event of Wijk aan Zee. Chess stars played one day blitz tournament on rest day of big event . Kasparov, Kramnik, Anand, Ivantchuk,Topalov,... Shirov intended to play too... But Shirov went to dentist and was not able to play because of anesthesia. Bosboom was promptly called as replacement player. Kasparov played opening with whites too casually and after 12 moves black already was equal. Later, in worse position, with bad pawn structure white still stubbornly tried to win the game, but Bosboom response was calm and precise. Kasparov resigned in position where in order to avoid immediate checkmate white had to sac his queen. Of course he did not play this humiliation thru. Kasparov still won blitz tournament, and this was his only loss there
Go to 14:57 you could have taken the bishop with your queen CHECK and after the king moves you get another queen and he's in check again. You won a bishop and tempo.
When he said weak pawns, he was talking about his own. Bishop takes pawn, sets up fork on rook and pawn line. If he moves rook then you back sweep pawn line if not trade bishop for rook, I think that is what he was actually referring to.
Usually on TH-cam when the title says "Guy In Bar Said He Beat KASPAROV" it's a huge bluff. But Manuel Bosboom is the real deal; he ACTUALLY beat Kasparov in a blitz game. Legend!

Kasparov played opening with whites too casually and after 12 moves black already was equal. Later, in worse position, with bad pawn structure white still stubbornly tried to win the game, but Bosboom response was calm and precise.
Kasparov resigned in position where in order to avoid immediate checkmate white had to sac his queen. Of course he did not play this humiliation thru.

You are so right friend. In fact at 14:58 he felt that was her move. Just look at his eyes. After the move he gestures as if to say why?

When he said weak pawns, he was talking about his own. Bishop takes pawn, sets up fork on rook and pawn line. If he moves rook then you back sweep pawn line if not trade bishop for rook, I think that is what he was actually referring to.
