Game of the Week 370

Last week we had a look at the perfect start of Jorden van Foreest at the Dutch Championship. While Jorden kept leading the tournament all the way, his younger brother Lucas van Foreest started catching up by winning one game after the other and eventually they shared first place. Together with my good friend IM Alex Wohl from Australia I had a look at the last round encounter Lucas van Foreest vs Erik van den Doel.

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