Lineups for the prestigious Tata Steel Tournament 2027 are here and Germans are feasting! While the *Old* Guard (Vincent Keymer, 21; Frederik Svane, 22) will show up in the Master's section, a rising star will participate in the Challenger's section: 15 years old International Master Christian Gloeckler will face seasoned top players like GMs Avaringh Chithambaram, Bibisara Assaubayeva and Zhu Jiner.
Christian qualified through winning last year's Tata Steel Tienkamp with an impressive 8,5/10 points and 1.5 points lead before the second place. In round 2, facing IM Henry Tudor, Christian already sacrificed a piece. Black is hopelessly lost, but to finish the game for sure, he found a neat mate in 3.
White to play and win.
