Game of the Week #483
The Meltwater Champions Chess Tour Final is very exciting the follow with only elite players, including the world champion. Nothing beats over the board classical chess though, and the line-up of the TePe Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament is a lovely mix of legends and rising starts.
Dutchman Jorden van Foreest is having a fantastic run and won the tournament one round in advance. We will study his highly thematic game against Bacrot.

In this opening Black opts for active piece play and is not afraid to fight for the initiative from an early stage. One of the many good features of this opening is that Black is often the side which controls the pace of the game.
