#chess #siliconroad #TataSteelChallengers #roeberslami A fantastic queen sacrifice from Eline and Erwin is in big trouble! I'd miscounted the number of pieces Eline was getting for the queen. It was really a lot and it proved enough for a maiden win in the Wijk Aan Zee Challengers!

#chess #siliconroad #TataSteelChallengers #roeberslami 27.f4 is a powerful move and Eline putting Erwin under huge pressure in subsequent moves. Very tense though with little time and White's king exposed!

#chess #siliconroad #TataSteelChallengers #roeberslami Tense game between Eline Roebers and @erwinlami. A Breyer system of the Ruy Lopez. I've never seen this ...a5-a4 plan before as Black. Keeps the knight super-solid on c5 and makes the queenside a safe place for the black king if it could run there, but there are many pitfalls along the way!
