Скачать или смотреть Van Foreest on Fire — Niemann’s Semi-Tarrasch Smoked

Featured is a sharp chess game between Jorden Van Foreest and Hans Niemann from Round 5 of the 2026 Prague International Chess Festival. Arising from the Queen's Gambit Declined, Semi-Tarrasch, we enter the Endgame variation with 8.Qxd8+. Van Foreest plays without immediately regaining the pawn on e4, instead targeting it with three minor pieces. After it is captured, we observe a series of forceful moves, bringing us to the key moment of the game after 18.0-0-0+. Niemann's response is a blunder that Van Foreest is quick to capitalize on, forcing resignation after 36 moves. After 5 rounds, Jorden van Foreest is in the sole lead with 4/5 and a remarkable 2962 performance rating.
