Robert Ris’ Fast and Furious: Spectacular chess in Wijk

by Robert Ris
2/3/2023 – In his 'Fast & Furious' show, Robert Ris looks back at the Tata Steel Tournament in Wijk and presents what he calls "the most spectacular game of the tournament". It was exciting from the start. | "Fast and Furious" is available on-demand with a ChessBase Premium Account. You can register a Premium account here.
In this video course, twenty-nine examples with multiple questions are presented in the interactive format, which is ideal for a range of playing strengths. Step by step you will be taken through the complex positions.

The Tata Steel Tournament is over and it's time to look back at what I think was the most spectacular game of the tournament: the game Warmerdam-Pechac featured a Ruy Lopez with 3...Nge7 and it was the Dutchman who came up with a novelty on move 5 and soon after launched a powerful attack. His play was perhaps not always super precise, but it was definitely praiseworthy and a pleasure to watch!

Exercise: Black to play and find the only defense!
