Jan-16-16  waustad: I wonder why his GM application is still listed as "open" though it was to be considered in the 4th quarter meeting for 2015. Here is some info: http://ratings.fide.com/title_appli...

  WTHarvey: I posted 14 puzzles from chess games of Dutch teen & GM Jorden Van Foreest @ http://wtharvey.com/vfor.html What's the winning move?

Premium Chessgames Member
  Penguincw: GM Jorden van Foreest had a good tournament at the Teplice Open, scoring 6.5/9 (+5,-1,=3). He only finished half a point behind the 7 co-winners, but a penultimate loss to top seed GM Sergei Movsesian was costly.

On the bright side, he did gain 6 rating points, moving up to a career high 2584, and he still isn't an adult yet (17 years old)!

Aug-29-16  cro777: Dutch champion at 17!

"GM Sergei Tiviakov withdrew from the Dutch Championship 2016 shortly before the start. His pupil, 17-year-old GM Jorden van Foreest (also from Groningen) got the replacement spot. With fresh and fearless chess, Van Foreest emerged the winner."

Anish Giri:"Good KID, Jorden!"

Jorden's game against Ernst involved exchange sacrifice and lots of complications.

The fact that Arnold and Dirk were brothers doesn't mean they were both Jorden's great-great grandfather :)

  Penguincw: < Aug-04-15 Penguincw: Jorden van Foreest is at it again! Through 4 rounds, he's currently the lowest rated player and only non-GM still perfect at that tournament. >

And all of a sudden he's not only a GM, but playing in the 2019 Tata Steel Masters tournament.

Jan-24-19  shalgo: Great game against Nepomniachtchi yesterday!

  Penguincw: Jorden van Foreest returns to the 2020 Tata Steel Masters, and starts off with a win: J van Foreest vs Yu Yangyi, 2020.
Jan-26-20  ndg2: If is the real tournement surprise of Tata Steel Masters (2020) given his 2650-ish ELO. He actually won 23 points in the process and has around 2668 now in live ratings.

  Penguincw: Wishing all the best to Jorden van Foreest at this year's edition of Tata Steel Masters. He is the lowest rated player, but I have no doubt he'll perform great!

  Penguincw: van Foreest with a great performance at the 2023 edition of Tata Steel Masters. Started off slow but then finished strong.

Played a big role in deciding the tournament winner, as he upset Abdusattorov with black to allow countryman Giri to leapfrog Abdusattorov for 1st place during the very last round.
