Game of the Week 373

At the Dutch Open in Dieren, Dutch chess legend Manuel Bosboom is shining by beating many exponents of the new generation. In round 6 it was a case of teacher versus student, when Manuel beat Hing Ting Lai. These days Hing has taken over Manuel's position as the number one blitz player in the Netherlands, but Manuel showed what he is still capable of when it comes to classical chess.

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