    #58. Matthew Sadler Talks About Classic Books And Previews The Chess Year 2025!

    This week’s episode of the New In Chess Podcast features an interview with Matthew Sadler, one of the most versatile chess lovers in the universe. In a lively conversation with Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam, the English grandmaster touches on a variety of subjects, spicing up his stories with fascinating observations, sound advice and not-to-be-missed reading tips. Matthew Sadler is a two-time British Champion, a streamer, an expert in chess engines, a successful author and, as he is no longer a professional player – after all, he has a fulltime job in IT - he is often called the world’s strongest amateur. One of Matthew’s latest interests is humans taking on engines that give their opponents odds. Would you like to play an engine with an extra knight? Or rather with an extra queen? You’d be surprised how much you’d learn from those games, as Matthew explains with his contagious enthusiasm. He also looks at the recent Tata Steel tournament in Wijk aan Zee, won by an impressive Praggnanandhaa, and the first leg of the new Freestyle Grand Slam that took place in Weissenhaus. While Vincent Keymer stunned Magnus Carlsen and Fabiano Caruana to claim the $200,000 first prize, the event also led to heated chess-political discussions around the globe. 0:00 – Intro 2:16 – Matthew’s fascination with recent odds games played by chess engine Leela 9:02 – Has Matthew been following Freestyle chess? 17:08 – Tata Steel 22:37 – Which recent books have especially impressed Matthew? 29:36 – The erosion of strategic principles in favor of pure calculation in the computer era 36:14 – AD BREAK 36:45 – Matthew’s love for historical chess books 39:25 – The legacy of lesser-known players like Efim Bogoljubow, David Janowski and Frank Marshall 45:00 – Matthew’s love for Zukertort and dislike for Steinitz 46:55 – The GOAT debate and why Matthew thinks the “Big Three” debate is unfair 53:24 – AD BREAK 54:21 – How modern chess does not require “classic chess education” 55:53 – The influence of Kasparov’s “modern” opening preparation 57:48 – Matthew previews the year 2025 and his expectations for Gukesh, Pragg, Keymer and Nodirbek 1:05:00 – The Gideon Ståhlberg biography 1:07:06 - Outro

    This week’s episode of the New In Chess Podcast features an interview with Dutch grandmaster Loek van Wely. One of our return guests, Loek needs no introduction for our regular listeners. An eight-time Dutch national champion, Loek had his career peak in 2001, when he made it to the world top 10 with a rating of 2714. Besides his own achievements on the chess board, Loek is a successful coach, who has worked with stars like Gata Kamsky, Vladimir Kramnik (2007), Veselin Topalov, and more recently with the Italian national team and Dutch grandmaster Max Warmerdam. With an incredible 25 appearances in the Masters group, Loek is the most experienced Tata Steel Chess Tournament player alive. Interviewed by Dirk Jan Ten Geuzendam, he looks back on the performances of several top players at this year’s event, while also recalling several legendary Wijk aan Zee moments and traditions. 0:00 – Intro 2:23 – Why Loek is the ultimate Wijk aan Zee expert 8:38 – Differences between Wijk aan Zee now versus in the past 10:50 – Loek guesses Wijk aan Zee record holders 12:20 – Loek reflects on his own best and worst Wijk aan Zee experiences 15:42 – “Handshake-gate” 19:23 – AD BREAK 19:55 – Loek’s favourite Wijk aan Zee tournament 28:02 – Why players often go on losing streaks in Wijk aan Zee 29:35 – Gukesh’s performance 35:16 – Caruana’s performance 38:10 – Erigaisi’s performance 42:47 – Pragg’s performance 44:54 – Are tiebreaks a satisfactory way to decide the winner of the tournament? 49:07 – The tiebreaks between Gukesh and Pragg 50:43 – The crazy last round of this year’s event 55:03 – AD BREAK 56:04 – Should Pragg consider this win a milestone in his career? 57:14 – The Challengers group 1:00:27 – The famous Wijk aan Zee football match 1:07:37 – Outro

    #56. Mikhail Tal: A Name As A Gunshot (Part 4) | The Essential Sosonko

    This week’s episode of the New In Chess Podcast features the fourth part of a narration from “The Essential Sosonko”, a collection of chess portraits and stories authored by chess grandmaster Genna Sosonko. The subject of this week’s episode is Latvian grandmaster Mikhail Tal. With his fierce attacking style, “The Magician from Riga” dethroned reigning World Champion Botvinnik to claim the World Chess Championship in 1960. Widely acclaimed as a genius, Mischa’s tactical play would produce numerous brilliancies, as well as a 95-game unbeaten streak, a record that would stand for over forty years. Narrated by professional voice actor Nick Murphy, this week’s episode about Mikhail Tal is different from the two-part “My Misha” series from May of this year. Instead of an active participant, Genna is more of a background figure this time. However, this does not make his retelling of Tal’s stories any less vivid.

    #55. Jorden Van Foreest Previews Tata Steel!

    This week’s episode of the New In Chess Podcast features an interview with Dutch grandmaster Jorden van Foreest. On the eve of the Tata Steel Chess Tournament in Wijk aan Zee, Jorden talks to Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam about his preparation for ‘the Wimbledon of chess’ and his adventures in earlier editions of this world-class event. Most notably, the 2021 edition that Jorden sensationally won ahead of a daunting field that included Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana and Anish Giri. As they look ahead to the 87th(!) edition of ‘Wijk aan Zee’, Jorden also gives his take on two news stories that got worldwide attention during the World Rapid & Blitz Championship in New York that he recently played in: ‘Jeansgate’, the scandal that erupted when Magnus Carlsen was fined for wearing jeans, and the controversial end of the Blitz championship, when Magnus Carlsen and Ian Nepomniachtchi decided to share the title and the world chess federation FIDE went along in this breaking of the rules. Jorden was born into a family with a rich chess tradition. At the end of the 19th century, his great-great-grandfather Arnold van Foreest was Dutch champion, and so was the brother of his great-great grandfather, Dirk van Foreest. Interestingly, Jorden’s younger brother Lucas has been Dutch champion as well. And yes, Jorden himself has also been Dutch champion as he won the title when he was only 17 years old, one year after he had become a grandmaster. Jorden, who is 25 now, has been U-10 Open Dutch Youth Champion in 2010, U-14 European Youth Champion in 2013, and only a month ago he won the European Blitz Championship in Skopje. As said, Jorden’s biggest triumph so far was his win in the 2021 Tata Steel Chess Tournament, where he defeated Anish Giri in a hectic blitz tiebreak. Jorden is not only a former winner of this epic tournament, it’s also one of his favourite tournaments. He truly knows the village of Wijk aan Zee inside out, as he has been playing there from a very early age. If you are looking forward to the Tata Steel Chess Tournament as much as we are, you should not miss this highly entertaining conversation with Jorden van Foreest. If you are slowly but surely getting into the mood for two weeks of great chess, you will definitely enjoy this episode of the New In Chess podcast! 0:00 – Intro 2:50 – What is Jorden’s state of mind with Tata Steel right around the corner? 7:37 – When Jorden won the tournament in 2021, how did he prepare? 10:21 – Cold showers 13:15 – Jorden being one of the older players in his group at 25 14:05 – How Jorden’s life and career changed after his 2021 win 15:18 – Working for Magnus in the runup to his World Championship match with Nepo 21:46 – How does Jorden prepare for his thirteen opponents in Wijk aan Zee? 24:27 – Does Jorden follow the same “modern” approach to opening preparation? 26:44 – Does Jorden get affected by his opponents’ presence? 29:13 – AD BREAK 29:45 – Does Jorden prepare differently in such an exceptionally strong field? 33:10 – Why did Jorden participate in the rapid and blitz World Championship in New York? 36:00 – Jorden’s history of good performances in Wijk aan Zee 38:29 – Jorden tells a funny Daniil Dubov story 39:48 – “Jeansgate” and how other top players responded to it 47:18 – How does Jorden feel about the prize-sharing situation between Magnus and Nepo? 49:55 – How does Jorden plan to work with his brother Lucas in Wijk aan Zee? 52:48 – AD BREAK 53:50 – The special atmosphere in Wijk aan Zee during Tata Steel 57:50 – How is Jorden preparing for the upcoming qualification cycle for the Candidates’ Tournament? 1:00:23 – Jorden’s view on freestyle chess 1:03:45 – Are there any opponents in Wijk aan Zee that Jorden is especially excited to play against? 1:08:13 – Outro

This time host Dirk Jan ten Geuzendam invited him to talk about what 2025 will bring us (yes, Wijk aan Zee coming soon!) and to look back on two major events at the end of 2024: the World Championship match won by Gukesh in Singapore, and the Rapid & Blitz World Championship in New York (in other words, Magnus Carlsen’s jeans and the uproar after Carlsen and Nepomniachtchi decided to share the world blitz title).
