Game of the Week #448
Especially for Dutch chess fans this year's Tata Steel Chess Tournament is very exciting, since two Dutchmen are doing really well. After nine rounds Anish Giri is leading the tournament together with Fabiano Caruana and Alireza Firouzja, while Jorden van Foreest and Andrey Esipenko are following only half a point behind. Magnus Carlsen finally won a game again and is the sixth player that is still in contention for first place. We are going to study Jorden's attractive win against Anton Guijarro.
Warm-up question: What would you play here with White?
