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 😃

[@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

[@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'

[@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.

[@MattduCouloir]

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

[@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!

[@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

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

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@Fake_Snail]

Thank you for the video!

[@jeremiahlyleseditor437]

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

[@takashitamagawa5881]

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

[@JeroenVerburg]

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

[@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

[@thelight288]

I just saw this game live haha. Im dutch and played the amateur weekend tournament. Amazing

[@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

[@exs1803]

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

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

[@bwgbwg1529]

Gefeliciteerd!!!

[@JMyepes]

Great game!! Thank you!

[@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)

[@mdb831]

15 moves of theory, a Queen sac, and W against a 2600+ What more could one ask for?

[@tcadityaa]

What more? 16 moves of theory

[@samelel713]

A showcase on closed pawn. Love it

[@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.

[@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.

Incredible game.

[@kb5019]

Great game by Eline 🙂👏🏾

[@boogieman6529]

weren't you the magnus lover guy lol

[@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.

[@strangemolars]

This was a beautiful game.

[@MrBlaDiBla68]

Great stuff. Small lesson in Dutch for pronouncing Roebers: the "oe" in Dutch is pronounced like the "oo" in the English word "good". Good to know since we'll be hearing more of her... 🙂

[@SteveK77536]

Fun to watch. As an occasional hobby player, I guard my queen above all else. I may lose the game, but I kept my queen. Maybe I'm missing the point?

[@OzymandiasSaysHi]

Yes, maybe...😆

[@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).

[@nickcifarelli8887]

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.

At the 7:00 minute mark (when asked for the best move possible), what is wrong with pawn takes knight (F6 x E7)?

[@irinechemist2550]

You will open the f file for the rook to take the queen. And your pawn gonna stuck at e7 or getting eaten later. (Black Queen control the e8)

[@izzymarz6788]

Beating L'ami is no joke, he's a well respected player

[@ft7339]

At the "resings position".. Why not Qxb2 and a3 also hangs? Is the win of white so clear?

[@ateveenstra5361]

So many moves before the first capture

[@bitshuffler]

great game. :) What happens if pawn takes knight in the pause the video moment? That seems good as well, but I often miss the obvious. :)

[@Trip_Fontaine]

I think the problem is that if you play that prematurely without it coming with check, the Black rook can just capture the White queen. Then there is no threat of exf8=Q checkmate, and the queening square at e8 is guarded. It's the right idea but it needs one step of preparation.

[@bitshuffler]

@@Trip_Fontaine Thanks so much! I was fixated on the pawn taking the queen. Makes so much sense now. Thank you!
