Game of the Week #454
Just like last week, we will study an important theoretical game that maybe did not get the attention it should have. One year ago in the German Bundesliga, just before the first lockdown, Jorden van Foreest played a new setup against the Caro-Kann. In the past year it was tried a few times online by Jorden and others and recently it was repeated by Grandelius in the Tata Steel tournament. It would be interesting to see more high-level tests in the near future.
