Tactics from Batavia!
Photo by Bas Beekhuizen. Grandmasters Sokolov and Nijboer analyzing their game. It’s the kind of tournament that must be fun to play in! Central Amsterdam, in a popular cafe called Batavia. During the games you can drink what ever you desire, coffee or beer…what ever inspires you!
The 10th edition of this round-robin tournament has attracted a strong, but mixed international field. Almost all of the games are exciting and tough struggles. Tomorrow will be the last round. Take a look at the website, it is filled with interesting information and photos from Lennart Ootes, Bas Beekhuizen and others.
