Game of the Week: Papp vs Svane

by Merijn van Delft
11/27/2019 – The new season of the German League caught the attention of IM Merijn van Delft, who this week shows a nice win from the young German GM Rasmus Svane. The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium account holders (but FREE for a limited time!). Merijn is on-demand this week starting at 19:00 UTC (20:00 CET / 4 PM EST).
The Ruy Lopez is one of the oldest openings which continues to enjoy high popularity from club level to the absolute world top. In this video series, American super GM Fabiano Caruana, talking to IM Oliver Reeh, presents a complete repertoire for White.

Game of the Week #388

Rasmus Svane is an enterprising young German GM, who plays in the Bundesliga for Hamburger Schachklub (HSK). Last weekend he contributed significantly to the victories of his team by scoring an impressive 2 out of 2 on the second board. We will study his win on Saturday against Gabor Papp.

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

Warm up question: What would you play here with Black?
