Tricky Knights! — Erdogmus vs Grandelius

Featured is an instructive chess game between Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus and Nils Grandelius from Round 4 of the 2026 TePe Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament. Arising out of Ruy Lopez with 3...Bc5, play develops for many moves with the central pawn tension, reaching an original position after 13...Qe6. A forceful sequence shortly thereafter pulls us directly into a queenless endgame where black obtains dark-squared pressure on f2, and Erdogmus on more than one occasion must find only moves to maintain the balance. #YagizKaanErdogmus #NilsGrandelius Image of Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus by Lennart Ootes lennartootes.com I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who was introduced to the game by my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
