Game of the Week 356

The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.

Tonight we'll revisit the Batavia tournament in Amsterdam and talk about who ended up winning. One of our themes will be "the squeeze": slowly but surely pushing your opponent off the board. If we have time left, we'll add a mad attacking game as well.

Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?
