The theory of infinite resistance: Parham Maghsoodloo's 42.Ke4!! against Max Warmerdam in round nine of the Tata Steel tournament. https://t.co/Z7LAmGkOvu
The leading masters of the 1890s were onto something when they said that "the most difficult part of chess is to win a won game." Maghsoodloo was utterly lost as early as move 13 against Warmerdam, but he turned it around in an unbelievable fashion. https://t.co/5EJaY4HBlZ https://t.co/9nhdH9cuSP
Only three draws total in round 9 🔥. Tomorrow we will be back in Wijk aan Zee for round 10 of the #TataSteelChess Tournament. https://t.co/nb1XX16Kc1
