♟💙 | Meet our friend Luuk (8 y/o)! This little reporter is a #TataSteelChess fan and he made this video for a school assignment. Well done, Luuk!
For those who don't speak Dutch 🇳🇱, here is the translation of Luuk's story:
• “The Tata Steel Chess tournament will continue, despite COVID-19.”
• “The tournament can continue because they have held up to all the COVID-19 measures.”
• “On the 15th of January they will start from this location.”
• “Only the 14 Grand Masters will play. The amateur chess players will sadly not be able to play this year.”
• “The chess tournament is known from all over the world.”
• “Because there are no people allowed to visit, it will also be broadcasted online.”

German chess player Louis Paulsen, one of the strongest masters of the 1860s and 1870s, was born #OnThisDay in 1833.
One of the first "purely defensive players" (Nimzowitsch), he suggested that strong defense can give a rebuff to any brilliant attack of the romantic era.

Although he highly valued defense, Louis Paulsen was a strong attacker himself.

Louis Paulsen was famous for his blindfold performances. His first effort of that kind stunned the public in New York in 1857, when he took on then-unprecedented five games simultaneously. A year later he extended the record to 14 games. #ChessHistory
