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?

Merijn will explain in the show!

The Sicilian Tajmanov-Scheveningen

The Sicilian has been known for decades as the most reliable way for Black to obtain an unbalanced but good position. Among the most popular Sicilians at the top level the two that certainly stand out are the Najdorf and the Paulsen.
