In the last Fast & Furious show of 2023 I analysed the spectacular victory obtained by one of my students: 15-year-old IM Arthur de Winter.

Arthur defeated GM Thomas Beerdsen at the Groningen Chess Festival. In a fashionable line of the Najdorf (6.h3 e5 7.Nf3 Be7 8.g4) White’s attacking play just came faster, and Arthur convincingly converted his advantage into a full point. 

Happy New Year!
