The\nevent that has been won in sensational fashion by the young Dutch grandmaster\nJorden van Foreest. In a tiebreak in the third blitz game, he was just a bit faster of\nhis compatriot Anish Giri. The barrage was necessary because both players very\nsurprisingly ended with the wonderful score of 8½ out of 13 in joint first place. With\nthis they had left behind, among others, World Champion Magnus Carlsen (7½) and\nthe 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\nfor the game between the Spaniard David Antón Guijarra and Anish Giri. Our\ncompatriot was in a bad position, lost perhaps, but he managed to free himself from\nthe tangled position and gain an important half point. It was decided beforehand\nthat a tiebreak would be held, consisting of at least two blitz games. Should these\nresult in a 1-1 score, an Armageddon game would be played. This turned out to be\na nervous and blood-curdling fight, with the pieces flying around. In the end the\nyounger OF the two, Jorden van Foreest, emerged victorious and thus the young\nGroninger booked the greatest success of his still young career. Apart from the\ncommotion in the Dutch seaside resort of Wijk aan Zee, where the tournament was\nheld – under strict corona rules – the whole of the Netherlands rose to its feet when\nthis great result became known. Hadn''t we had to wait since 1985, when Jan\nTimman won the Hoogovens chess tournament, for a Dutch chess player to stand\non the highest podium? And now it was even two players from this country who\ncould dispute together who would take the highest honor","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57566949736830,"sku":"NW9789464201420","price":31.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9789464201420.jpg?v=1783373152","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/tata-steel-chess-tournament-2021","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
