Game of the Week: Van Haastert vs Reinderman

by Merijn van Delft
3/4/2020 – Returning once more to the Batavia tournament in Amsterdam, IM Merijn van Delft looks at a game from the winner Dimitri Reinderman. | 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 #402

The Batavia tournament in Amsterdam turned into a resounding victory for grandmaster Dimitri Reinderman, who scored an impressive 7½ out of 9. Tonight we will study his best game prize winning effort against Edwin van Haastert. If there is time left, we will study some further interesting game fragments.

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

Warming-up question: What would you play here with Black?
