Descrição

Three players are sharing the lead after round 1 in Wijk aan Zee, as Magnus Carlsen, Anish Giri and Nils Grandelius all obtained victories with the white pieces. It was a topsy-turvy win for the world champion, who bravely gave up two pawns to get the better of 17-year-old Alireza Firouzja. Endgame specialist Karsten Müller analysed the rook ending that gave Grandelius the full point against Alexander Donchenko. | Photo: Jurriaan Hoefsmit – Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2021
