Dutch Championships
Hoogeveen is located in the east of the Netherlands, not far from the German border. Parallel to the knockout phase of the Dutch Championship and the Dutch Women’s Championship, the 24th Hoogeveen Open (with almost exclusively Dutch participants) was also held.
In the third round of the knockout phase, Casper Schoppen and Hing Ting Lai were the only players who, after the two games of classical chess, had to go into the tiebreak consisting initially of two 25+10 rapid games. After losing the first of these games, Schoppen let victory slip away in the dramatic final phase of the second game — thus clearing the way for his opponent to reach the last four.

Women’s Championship
In the Women’s Championship, none of the eight participants remained without defeat, but each managed at least one victory. Machteld van Foreest, the 14-year-old sister of the two well-known grandmasters Jorden and Lucas, could not quite have a successful run in the national event.
