Beschrijving

Featured is a sharp chess game from the 2026 Dutch Chess Championship. Arising out of the Sicilian Najdorf, Warmerdam and Van Wely essentially follow a game I covered recently from the Chinese Chess League between Ding Liren and Peng Xiongjian. After 15 moves, the only difference between the two games is the placement of one of Black's rooks. I encourage you to watch Ding Liren vs Peng Xiongjian if you haven't already.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8. The purpose of this channel is to share my knowledge of chess to help others improve their game. I enjoy continuing to improve my understanding of this great game, albeit slowly.
