Game of the Week 369

Since Jorden van Foreest is staying at my place during the Dutch Championship, I'm of course paying extra attention to the games of our national championship. At the time of writing the third round is being played and I already saw some cool sacrifices. Tonight I'll give an update.

The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
