My student Eline Roebers (The Netherlands Girls U-14) was leading the field by half a point after nine rounds, though two very unfortunate losses threw her back in the rankings and eventually she ended up on the sixth place.

In this episode of the Fast & Furious show I will reveal some sharp opening systems we discussed in our preparation, our general approach challenging the opponent and my role as a coach throughout the event.

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