Jan-13-20		An Englishman: Good Afternoon: If sound, quite the brilliancy, not just because White offers his Queen twice for the sake of his passed pawns, but also because of how van Foreest found his way through the mayhem of rather a wild game.

Jan-13-20		MordimerChess: That's really impressive game. Interesting is that the theory of the openings get very deep here. Jorden van Foreest said that the move 16.. Qd7 isn't good, even many people play it. And he wins again (like in first round of Tata Steel 2020) by powerful attack on the queen side. And again against Sicilian Defence, really impressive preparation. Dubov fighted well and he is known from sharp tactics and creation of powerful mating attacks. The game is really enjoyable. I recorded game analysis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjU... I also included interview with Jorden thru the video. But keep in mind the game is so complex and complicated that it's quite long 25 minutes video and I still couldn't include some interesting lines. Anyway, enjoy! ;)

Jan-13-20		Penguincw: Stunning queen sac, in exchanged for passed pawns. And they were isolated passed pawns too.

Jan-14-20		dashjon: Just a well played game. The queen sac for the pawns to march was wonderful to watch.

Jan-14-20		fisayo123: Spectacular game by van Foreest. I always considered him to be an impressive tactician, regardless of who he's facing. Already game of the day as well.

Jan-14-20		offramp: A really good game, played yesterday. The pun is appropriate because Jorden van Foreest 's ancestors literally came from a forest. They evolved in the north of the Veluwe, a Dutch forest. They evolved from lemurs.

Jan-14-20		WorstPlayerEver: The Veluwe is a park. Besides, the van Foreests come from Holland afaik, from the swamp.

Jan-14-20		Stonehenge: The Van Foreest name is already mentioned in 1241: knight Willem van Foreest.

Jan-14-20		WorstPlayerEver: <Stonehenge> Yes, but as 'W. de Foresto.' The name 'Wilhelmus van Foreest' is mentioned in 1278.

Jan-14-20		Autoreparaturwerkbau: I Do not understand 21...f5, to me 21...e4 seems like no-brainer attacking both Q and R. Then i checked SF10 (37 ply), which agrees: (1) ...e4, +0,8 (2) ...f5, +1,2 (3) ...Rfd8, +1,5

Jan-14-20		paavoh: I do not know much about this Sicilian variation, but just looking at the pawn formations after 13.d4 makes me wonder how can Black wiggle out of that structural disadvantage in the center. Move -e5 seems the critical response, and here White is able to circumvent that tactically. I'd like to hear what more experienced players have to say.

Jan-14-20		paavoh: <They evolved in the north of the Veluwe, a Dutch forest. They evolved from lemurs.> That is one big forest, extending all the way to Madagaskar - or lemurs or their descendants could swim long stretches ...
