Anish Giri vs Max Warmerdam | 2025 Tata Steel Masters

Featured is an instructive chess game between Anish Giri and Max Warmerdam from round 11 of the 2025 Tata Steel Masters Chess Tournament held in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands. Out of an Italian Four Knights, Giri hunts Warmerdam's dark squared bishop. With 13...d5 Warmerdam sacrifices a pawn in exchange for excellent piece activity. A critical moment occurs in an opposite colored bishop endgame once Warmerdam's bishop is questioned with 25. Re3. Which diagonal should it patrol? #TataSteelMasters #AnishGiri #MaxWarmerdam #ItalianGame I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
