First victory for the young Dutchman Jorden Van Foreest in the #picf2020 Challengers after an interesting pawn sacrifice. "The tournament was not going so well for me as I made 5 draws so far, and I wanted to try to win!"
GM David Bronstein was born on February 19, 1924.
One of the strongest players of the mid-twentieth century, he narrowly missed becoming the world champion in 1951, drawing the match with Mikhail Botvinnik 12-12 (so the title stayed with the holder).
