There are going to be a lot more people who find out they should write Jordan van Foreest instead of Jorden after today

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

Some endgames feel so theoretical that you never expect to see them over the board. Yet, I reached the Troitzky line for the second time in half a year today. Glad to have converted the win today and clinch the match for my team, taking the sole lead in the Dutch league!

Thrilled to have successfully defended my thesis this morning and officially complete my BSc in Economics. First, some well-earned vacation before kicking off my professional chess year(s) at the Dole Open starting Saturday!

Don’t we all know the feeling? It also happened to @max_warmerdam in his game against @FabianoCaruana . But he did win against the highest-rated opponent he has ever beaten.

So you pay $80,000 each to two absolute elite chess professionals to fight for a World Championship title by playing two days of blitz chess after a restday, and when they say we are tired FIDE just goes Sure! ????

I tuned out about an hour ago. Really looking forward to the tiebreaks of the World Championship tomorrow!

A top Beijing official told the FT that the best option for foreign companies would be to partner with local groups. https://t.co/fWyZIxlEug

It took a while, but it looks like I'm not going to be the last person who lost a classical game to World Champion Ding Liren

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

Stumbled upon a new conspiracy theory🧐

4) GM @max_warmerdam plays on board 3 and he’s currently at his best ever rating of 2676. 

The 2024 Dutch champion is closing in on the 2700 mark and could soon join the world’s elite.

His courses on the Janowski Variation and Von Hennig-Schara Gambit will give you a good feel for his ultra-sharp and aggressive style.

Not sure how my bishop ended up on d6 today

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

Dutch champion!

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

@kevingohwm Organizers do take these things into account, as each of the rounds not played by them counts as half a point for buchholz.

@anishgiri @FlowTraders Here we go again

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

Elated to have won the Teplice Open after an exciting last round. Received a nice Czech as well✌️

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

Hikaru could not claim the threefold draw yet vs Nepo as in the first position Nepo was still forced to take en passant. #fidecandidates2024

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

Seems like Hikaru mixed up my Chessable course! The pawn should be sacrificed with the rook on c1, but a win is a win!

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

@chess24com There are quite many actually!
a8N b8N c8R for example

[Max Warmerdam @max_warmerdam]

Erwin is a fighter on and off the board. He is an inspiriation and it is incredible to see him do so well again. Looking forward to many more walks in Wijk aan Zee with him!

[Chessable @chessable]

GM Erwin l'Ami is an inspiration and an example of resilience! Diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, a form of cancer, he defied the odds to become Dutch Champion for the first time. Now, he leads the pack in the highly competitive #TataSteelChess Challengers. Go Erwin!! 🚀
