Game of the Week: Reinderman vs Feuerstack

by Merijn van Delft
2/26/2020 – This week IM Merijn van Delft is wearing his "tournament director" hat in Amsterdam at the 12th Batavia tournament. He also gets to be an eager spectator | The live show is free to watch, and available on-demand for ChessBase Premium account holders (but FREE for a limited time!). Merijn is live this week starting at 19:00 UTC (20:00 CET / 4 PM EST).
Scarcely any world champion has managed to captivate chess lovers to the extent Carlsen has. The enormously talented Norwegian hasn't been systematically trained within the structures of a major chess-playing nation such as Russia, the Ukraine or China.

Game of the Week #401

This week I am enjoying my role as Batavia tournament director. As usual, lots of fighting chess and exciting battles. Experienced Dutch grandmaster Dimitri Reinderman is convincingly leading the tournament with 4½ out of 5, but his game against Hamburg participant Aljoscha Feuerstack was less convincing, as we will see tonight.

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?
