I am posting this in English, as that’s also the language I use when I analyze my games. Hope that’s okay for all Dutch natives! (I am Belgian, by the way)

I love to help out at the youth training and currently try to teach the Step 3 kids a little something here and there. I am also trying to improve my chess game, although I only started playing competitively about a year ago.

The following game is round 1 of the Science Park Amsterdam 2024 Chess tournament, in which I participated in Group A for the first time (and also in the tournament, last year I did the vierkamp but not the 9-rounder). I realize I wrote quite a wall of text in the analysis, so feel free to look only at the played moves.
