Game of the Week: Van Delft vs Schreiner

by Merijn van Delft
11/20/2019 – The European Club Cup presented IM Merijn van Delft with an opportunity to practice his craft, and this week he brings you a personal highlight. The 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 #387

In the past week I had a great time with my home town team, MuConsult Apeldoorn, at the European Club Cup. We finished as expected and met many old and new friends. Personally, my performance was well above expectation, so I'm happy to show my best game with you.

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

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