The\u003cbr\u003eevent that has been won in sensational fashion by the young Dutch grandmaster\u003cbr\u003eJorden van Foreest. In a tiebreak in the third blitz game, he was just a bit faster of\u003cbr\u003ehis compatriot Anish Giri. The barrage was necessary because both players very\u003cbr\u003esurprisingly ended with the wonderful score of 81\/2 out of 13 in joint first place. With\u003cbr\u003ethis they had left behind, among others, World Champion Magnus Carlsen (71\/2) and\u003cbr\u003ethe number two in the world, Fabiano Caruana (8). An unprecedented achievement, because the tournament in Wijk aan Zee is sometimes called the \"Wimbledon of chess\" of the elite tournaments. After the last round, in which Van Foreest in a formidable way had left the Swede Nils Grandelius chanceless, it was waiting\u003cbr\u003efor the game between the Spaniard David Antón Guijarra and Anish Giri. Our\u003cbr\u003ecompatriot was in a bad position, lost perhaps, but he managed to free himself from\u003cbr\u003ethe tangled position and gain an important half point. It was decided beforehand\u003cbr\u003ethat a tiebreak would be held, consisting of at least two blitz games. Should these\u003cbr\u003eresult in a 1-1 score, an Armageddon game would be played. This turned out to be\u003cbr\u003ea nervous and blood-curdling fight, with the pieces flying around. In the end the\u003cbr\u003eyounger OF the two, Jorden van Foreest, emerged victorious and thus the young\u003cbr\u003eGroninger booked the greatest success of his still young career. Apart from the\u003cbr\u003ecommotion in the Dutch seaside resort of Wijk aan Zee, where the tournament was\u003cbr\u003eheld - under strict corona rules - the whole of the Netherlands rose to its feet when\u003cbr\u003ethis great result became known. Hadn't we had to wait since 1985, when Jan\u003cbr\u003eTimman won the Hoogovens chess tournament, for a Dutch chess player to stand\u003cbr\u003eon the highest podium? And now it was even two players from this country who\u003cbr\u003ecould dispute together who would take the highest honor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.8 x 9.3 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 22, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51766378758432,"sku":"9789464201420","price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/5247bf91f7b885657d3f6f4cee252ecf.webp?v=1780291529","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tata-steel-chess-tournament-2021-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
