Next Gen Plays a Queen MARATHON— Woodward vs Erdogmus

Featured is an instructive chess game between Yagiz Kaan Erdogmus and Andy Woodward from Round 5 of the 2026 TePe Sigeman & Co Chess Tournament. Arising out of the Queen's Indian Defense with a3, we reach an original position early on with 9.h4. After 27 moves, the beginning of a marathon queen ending emerges, with 16-year-old Woodward pressing and 14-year-old Erdogmus defending valiantly. In the end, this was a 104-move encounter that lasted nearly 6 hours. #AndyWoodward #YagizKaanErdogmus 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.
