Game of the Week #633: A. Korobov - N. Zwirs, Dortmund 2024

by Merijn van Delft
8/23/2024 – In his new Game of the Week show, Merijn van Delft celebrates the Dortmund tournament victory of his good friend and Chessbase author Nico Zwirs. Since Zwirs' decisive final round win over Christopher Yoo will be covered by Karsten Müller in his Endgame Magic show, Merijn focuses on the tough Korobov-Zwirs battle. White was playing a model game until some rather unusual measures were required to make progress. Then things got rather messy. | Merijn's show is available on-demand with a ChessBase Premium Account. You can register a Premium account here.

The flexible Open Spanish

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.
