Master Class Vol.8: Magnus Carlsen
Scarcely any world champion has managed to captivate chess lovers to the extent Carlsen has. The enormously talented Norwegian hasn't been systematically trained within the structures of a major chess-playing nation such as Russia, the Ukraine or China.
The Batavia tournament in Amsterdam turned into a resounding victory for grandmaster Dimitri Reinderman, who scored an impressive 7½ out of 9. Tonight we will study his best game prize winning effort against Edwin van Haastert. If there is time left, we will study some further interesting game fragments.
The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
