The 2023 Tata Steel Challengers is taking place from 14-29 January in Wijk aan Zee, the Netherlands. The 14-player single round-robin offers the winner an automatic place in the 2024 Tata Steel Masters.
The time control is 100 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 50 minutes for 20 moves, then 15 minutes for the rest of the game, with a 30-second increment per move from move 1. A tie for first place will be decided by two blitz (3+2) games. If still tied, the players keep playing single "sudden death" games where White gets 2.5 minutes and Black 3 minutes until one side wins. Official website: www.tatasteelchess.com

This ain't the first Eline Roebers game Antonio has showed on this channel and both games are incredible, she's a great talent!

[@ultrainstinctshaggy669]

These Queen sacs really start the year right

[@yophono5929]

Could a native English speaker please tell me if "these" is right in this context or if it should be "those" . I know the difference is distance in time and space but kinda doesn't work here, does it? "Those" kinda sounds more right to me but idk.

[@markbolusmjak3731]

​@@yophono5929 "these" implies a sense of closeness and belonging whereas "those" would imply a sense of otherness. For example, when speaking of items on a table, one might say "these are my items and those are not". So in this case, as a chess community, we speak of these queen sacrifices, (and those Backgammon games).

[@slidenaway]

@@markbolusmjak3731 wow really nice linguistic lesson!! No cap, I am just impressed :)

[@Devananta-Rafiq]

Following last year biggest queen sacrifice

[@jacobpeters5458]

@@yophono5929 definitely "these" sounds, in chess lingo, "more precise". "Those" would be for something distant (physically, or impersonally), something maybe you don't agree with too much. but honestly you don't even really use "those" as much as "these"

[@TheMarksT]

What a fun and exciting game here! Very impressive in itself, but even more so, to beat someone 300 points ahead of her! Good show Eline!

[@jx14aby]

It's always fun to root for the underdog.

[@woodysmith2681]

300 ahead, for *now*.

[@jackismname]

Yea I would be ecstatic. The difference between 2600 and 2300 is huge.

[@AndersonNeo12]

Alternate Title could be: 28 moves WITHOUT CAPTURES!" This is madness, excellent stuff 😃

[@Wineballs]

I played Erwin in a tournament about 20 years ago and he crushed me. It's nice to see him featured here and I hope he doesn't begrudge me saying it's a spectacular game. Good to see Dutch chess is still strong

[@Jorg05111980]

At the age of 8 I wouldn't consider that a 'crush'

[@keizan5132]

Already featured on this channel because of an amazing game with an incredible, almost unfindable bishop sacrifice! It's so pleasing to see that she's progressing so much and continuing to deliver talent and plays/games of such ingeniouity, now in an event like this one!

[@MattduCouloir]

Following Eline is a must if you like crazy games. Thank you Agad for covering thus game !

[@wanderhillen2435]

Roebers would be pronounced in English as "Roo-bers", or possibly "Rou-bers" with the ou as in "you". Indeed a very impressive game by Eline!

[@eclipseeffigy]

To add onto this, Eline is pronounced a-lee-nuh, with the emphasis on the first syllable. a as in made. In Dutch the common -e end is a short -uh (always without an audible h, and this syllable never has emphasis). #suggestion to add onto agad's and everyone's excellent knowledge of international name pronunciations.

[@jacobpeters5458]

@@eclipseeffigy gonna let you know I will pronounce her name as "e-line" to start a new trend

[@kaiserauthoria]

Its still a Dutch name lmao

[@Jari_Sanou]

E-Line is also a nice pronounciation when she’s playing chess

[@noname-zg8lh]

Bro you should really do a video one day showing how you prepare to make these videos. It's amazing to watch you do these because you seem to know all of the lines in advance (I'm sure you spend some time studying them and also have the benefit of engines). It would be fascinating to see the process you go through to analyze such games, as you are the very best at it that I've ever run across.

[@michaelmassaro4375]

Yes I agree he is very much prepared and on top of the game with his analysis that’s great board knowledge to know the correct moves for certain pieces during the Game

[@joescott8877]

Yeah, very smooth, almost casual in tone, like he's telling you about a movie he saw last night. "And so then the bad guy moved to this weird-ass place, trying to hide in the shed or something, but the good guy was distracted by tripping over this lawn ornament, and so then the bad guy darts out of the shed and grabs a rake. Pretty cool move, huh?" Or some such, heh.

[@justalurker297]

i hope she doesnt stop playing chess. talents like this should get fundings from the state so that they are not distracted by anything else if they wish to master their craft

[@Catangerine]

@@qealdak2va Get out of here weirdo

[@justalurker297]

@qealdak2va sure buddy

[@Catangerine]

@@qealdak2va If nothing else keep in mind you are talking about an underage girl

[@douweodh4146]

No she won’t. In an interview she said the next years will be focused on chess only.

[@carloscanziani1644]

Get funding from the state?, why should the people of that state should give her money?, no no no. A private enterprise should do it. Nothing good comes from the state

[@cloudtheavegner1000]

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how you play the Botez Gambit.

[@ImaginationHobbies]

Hahaha

[@Lelekoz]

Cringe botez sisters

[@anshuuu9708]

[@Lelekoz]

@@anshuuu9708 Thanks for agreeing with me

[@PatrickKirkOKC]

You had me at queen sacrifice.

[@petergregory7199]

Eline seems fine with closed positions. This implies a patient, strategic turn of mind. Then to offer a queen shows x-ray vision, and a deft touch. She is one to watch for sure.

[@JimmyBoosterCrate]

As someone who might become an elite 2700 GM? No. As someone whose games are always delightfully exciting and tactical? Hell yeah

[@NotTheMaestro]

We need more sponsorship in chess to allow these young talents to have a chess career if they want one.

[@keyboard1186]

Wow.. what a excellent game.. congrats to both masters.

[@giovannicorno1247]

Compliment to Eline, winning with a GM rating around 300 point more!!👏 Let's hope to see more successfull women in chess.

[@takashitamagawa5881]

After all these decades, indeed centuries, true excitement still to be found in a game with the Ruy Lopez opening.

[@JChalant]

man, lot of queen sacrifices lately. Im glad to see so many people remembering it's just a piece.

[@Fake_Snail]

Thank you for the video!

[@TheMrBennito]

Shows the unconditional love for chess by this channel/Antonio. Picking great games from the Challenger tournament instead of selecting main event only

[@williamgoss4691]

Magnificent win by Elaine R. She always seemed totally in control of the game; the vice just got tighter and tighter for her much higher rated opponent until he cracked. Beautiful. Thkz Agadmator.

[@simonl4523]

It must be pretty much a year ago she was first female winner of the Untergrombach Open

[@JeroenVerburg]

Roebers is pronounced just like the Ru in Ruy Lopez: Ru bers

[@exs1803]

Such a complicated position that unraveled in an interesting way from a Queen sacrifice. So enjoyable.

[@judemorales4U]

I love this channel!

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

You are very good with your continuation examples. Best on the Internet.

[@robertr7923]

The 'oe' sound in roebers, is pronounced the same way as the 'oo' in 'book' and 'o' in 'loser'.

[@Rugby755]

Oo in book and o in loser have different intonations if you’re a native English speaker so I think that’s not quite the case

[@michaelmassaro4375]

I enjoyed the way you called the game straight forward full speed ahead very clear and understandable excellent moves in the game you have great insight as well Thank you

[@GekkiSpeedruns]

Eline is on another level!!

WOW! This young lady is !! and deserves a standing ovation!

What more? 16 moves of theory

this girl is amazing! Great respect for her!

[@dutchuncle2716]

Girl power! Great to see some genuine female talent. If she keeps playing like this she will be a true sensation in the coming years.

[@l.v.d.sluijs8009]

Very good to set up such an attack. Only the best non delaying moves come into consideration 😮.

They played 28 moves before the first capture occured

[@awakenedsoul2638]

Excellent win from Eline!

[@garybekker7144]

I saw Eline win some amazing games at the 2022 Chess Olympiad in Chennai and she is truly a very impressive player!

Nice game, well done as per Aggy

Wow, this will fill her with confidence.

[@DorothyFan1]

Judit Polgar must be smiling. Eline might have a bright future ahead of her.

[@richardhubbardiii2204]

I know it might not "count" but I like to think she did 2 Queen sacrifices to win.

[@jackreacher8324]

Another great game for Eline , wish her luck in this tournament,

[@samelel713]

A showcase on closed pawn. Love it

[@CoryTheSimmons]

Excited for this next generation of players!

[@GlorifiedTruth]

A slight correction. When a woman plays the Ruy Lopez, it becomes the Trudy Lopez, named this time not after a chess master but for a San Diego newscaster.

[@matheuspenteado8174]

I can imagine how crazy the game will be between Eline and Adhiban!

[@gunz300]

A closed queenside and an all out pawn storm on the kingside. I feel like is how 90% of my ~1700 rated blitz games go.

[@iPrank911]

Such an impressive win

[@flora5090]

The "oe" in Dutch is pronounced like the oo in "pool" but shorter

[@akashkilpady28]

Antonio: for Dutch pronunciations of long vowels, some tips- - 'oe' is pronounced like 'oo' in English, as in 'whoop'. So, Roebers sounds like 'Roobers'. - 'oo' is pronounced in a way that 'boot' in Dutch sounds like 'boat'. - 'ie' is pronounced like a long 'i', e.g. 'biet' in Dutch sounds like 'beat'. - 'ij' is pronounced in different ways depending on whether the person is from the Netherlands or from Belgium but to explain the Dutch way, the name 'Lijnder' would sound like 'Line-der'. - the more rare 'ae' is just pronounced like a long 'aa'. You'll often find some names spelled differently (same pronunciation): Maes & Maas, Baet & Baat, etc.

[@KeepChessSimple]

Next challenge: how to pronounce 'ui'. In Dutch it is saying 'a' and 'u' very quickly after eachother with the a being shorter than the u. but how to explain this in English?

[@akashkilpady28]

@@KeepChessSimple Hahaha I forgot this one. This one's certainly more difficult to explain in English. Again there's a difference in the Flemish and Dutch pronunciation I believe- the Dutch one might be easier as you explained. 'Muis' is pronounced similar to 'mouse' (muis in Dutch does mean mouse)

[@ColHogan-bu2xq]

Nice recap.

[@kb5019]

Great game by Eline 🙂👏🏾

[@boogieman6529]

weren't you the magnus lover guy lol

[@nocturnomedieval]

But how friendly is L'Ami remains a total mistery. XD

[@sunburn74]

Amazing fighting game. Very enjoyable to see players fight in the middle game and not just play for a win in the endgame where material is equal and there is a +0.01 advantage positionally.

[@worldofchessandvariants]

Every game with a pawn promotion to a knight is worth recording. And this one is particularly cool. 👍🏽

[@islandnowhere4703]

That is why I prefer mixed competitions. It allows for more show stopping games and surprises. And it is just fair that a 2300 woman gets a shot at a 2600+ player, just like her male counterparts.

[@benz.]

Incredible game.

[@strangemolars]

This was a beautiful game.

[@hfcriske]

Cool to see some women doing well in the big tournaments. #suggestion Does Hou Yifan still play? Would love to see more of her games if so.

[@boogieman6529]

Queen's Gambit!

[@disco_sugar]

I wonder how often sacs are considered blunders by the opponent, until they actualize.

[@alisterzarkar7163]

Once she got the pawn to d5, this neutralized the black rooks, and black king was boxed in.

[@mchauhan4]

Excellent game! This is equivalent to Chess Kung fu. 🔥

[@dawn21stcentury]

I am Dutch. The 'oe' in Roeber is pronounced like an owl in the night: 'oeh oeh, oeh oeh'. Like the proper pronunciation of that dish from Morocco: Couscous. Or, the English equavalent: when a crowd doesn't like the comedian and goes 'Boo', That's how to pronounce it. (and the 'R' in Dutch is more raw than in English; like an American 'R' combined with the roar of a pitbull (coming from the back of one's throat that is). (the sound could also be compared to someone who is terminally ill, but I like the first comparison better).

[@andrujo]

She beat Erwin, next she has to fight Levi!
