After coaching at the Dutch Open in Dieren and at the European Youth Championship in Bratislava, I returned to Amsterdam. So tonight we can finally do a live show again. In the past few days I've enjoyed watching the rapid games in Saint Louis. While World Champion Magnus Carlsen is not in good shape at all, Levon Aronian and Maxime Vachier Lagrave shared first place in the rapid. My favourite game is the one MVL played against Rapport.
The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium accounts.
Warming-up question: What would you play here with White?
