https://www.chess.com/events/2026-fi..._Gleb-Gukesh_D With this magnificent win GM Dudin tied the match for Hungary against India. The two knights did their dance leaving the position dominating for Black. A win against the world champion instrumental in tying the match against India and a seventh place finish for Hungary. Immensely satisfying, I'm sure.Comment

https://www.chess.com/events/2026-fi...Foreest_Jorden GM Van Foreest made the mistake of trying to open the position against GM Bluebaum. Some positions the best you can do is hold a draw. Interestingly GM Bluebaum's tactics were better than GM Van Foreests tactics. This game was the difference in the match of Netherlands vs Germany, the other games drawn. Germany wins and thats all she wrote.Comment
