Jhr. Jorden van Foreest (born 30 April 1999) is a Dutch chess grandmaster. He was Dutch Chess Champion in 2016, and won the Tata Steel Masters in 2021. As of April 2021, Van Foreest is the No. 2 ranked Dutch player behind Super GM Anish Giri.[1]

Chess career

Introduced to the game by his father, Van Foreest learned to play chess at the age of six but did not play regularly until he was nine.[2] He graduated from the Topsport Talent School [nl] in 2018 and since then he has been a professional chess player.[3]

2013–2016

In 2013, Van Foreest won the European U14 Chess Championship with a score of 7½/9 (+6–0=3).[4][5] He earned his international master title in 2014 at the age of 15 and secured all the norms needed for the grandmaster title in 2015 at the age of 16.[6] He was officially awarded his grandmaster title by FIDE in 2016.[7] This makes him the Netherlands' youngest ever grandmaster (Anish Giri was awarded the title at a younger age but was not a Dutch player at the time).[8]

In September 2015, he competed in the World Junior Chess Championship. He finished sixth, scoring 8/13 (+5–2=6).[9] In December, Van Foreest won the Groningen Chess Festival with a score of 7½/9 (+7–1=1).[10]

Van Foreest won the Dutch Chess Championship in August 2016. He scored 5½/7 (+5–1=1) for a performance rating of 2819.[11]

2017–2020

As of 2017, Van Foreest is coached by three-time Dutch Chess Champion Sergei Tiviakov.[12] From 26 June to 2 July 2017, he competed in the Dutch Chess Championship. He finished seventh, scoring 3/7 (+2–3=2).[13] From 28 October to 6 November, he competed for the Netherlands on board 4 at the 2017 European Team Chess Championship. He scored 5/7 (+4–1=2) for a performance rating of 2723.[14] From 13 to 25 November, he competed at the World Junior Chess Championship. He placed fifth with a score of 8/11 (+7–2=2),[15] half a point behind the winner Aryan Tari.[16]

From 13 to 28 January 2018, Van Foreest competed in the Tata Steel Challengers. He finished fifth, scoring 7½/13 (+4–2=7).[17] He competed in the 81st Tata Steel Masters in January 2019, placing thirteenth with 4½/13 (+3–7=3).[18] In July, Van Foreest shared first in the 2019 Dutch Championship with 5/7 (+3–0=4), losing on tiebreak to his younger brother Lucas van Foreest.[19]

At the 82nd Tata Steel Masters in January 2020, Van Foreest placed fourth with 7/13 (+3–2=8).[20]

2021

Van Foreest competed in the 83rd Tata Steel Masters in January, and after 13 rounds was tied for first with Anish Giri on a score of 8½/13 (+4–0=9). After drawing both blitz tiebreakers, Van Foreest won the armageddon game, thus winning the tournament.[21] In the process, Van Foreest increased his Elo rating to 2700+ for the first time in his career,[22] and became the first Dutchman since Jan Timman in 1985 to win Wijk aan Zee.[23]

Personal life

Van Foreest was born in Utrecht on 30 April 1999 and raised in Groningen, and is a member of the Dutch noble family "Van Foreest" with the honorific of jonkheer.[24][25] He is the great-great grandson of Arnold van Foreest and great-great grandnephew of Dirk van Foreest. Both Arnold and Dirk were three-time Dutch Chess Champions (Arnold: 1889, 1893, 1902; Dirk: 1885, 1886, 1887).[2][11]

Van Foreest is the eldest child of his family and has five siblings: four brothers and one sister.[2] His younger brother, Lucas (born 2001), earned the title of grandmaster in 2018.[26] His sister, Machteld (born 2007), won the Dutch Girls' U10 Championship at the age of 6 and shared second place in the Dutch Girls' U20 Championship when she was 9. In 2017, she became the first girl ever to win the Dutch U12 Championship.[12] She has a FIDE rating of 2132 as of April 2018.[27]
