b"We\\u2019ve got some bonus content for you guys, as renowned author/ Chessable author FM Michiel Abeln joined me on the first rest day to discuss the ongoing Tata Steel Chess tournament. Tata Steel is an annual tournament in the Netherlands which routinely attracts many of the world\\u2019s top players as well as rising stars. It is run concurrently with tournaments open to all, and is celebrating its 85th anniversay this year!\\xa0We recorded the podcast the day after Anish Giri beat Magnus Carlsen in impressive fashion, but we focus more on the \\u201cbig picture\\u201d of the tournament rather than the current standings. Michiel and I discuss questions such as: What makes Tata Steel such a special tournament? What is it like to be there right now? What should amateurs who are considering attending or playing in the tournament in the future know? Which players and games have impressed Michiel so far? Michael lives near the tournament venue and has been visiting it for over a decade, so he was very helpful in putting this year's event into context. He has also been writing about the tournament for The Week in Chess. Tata Steel has such a storied legacy in the chess world and it was great to get some perspective from a knowledgeable local about the past and present of this classic tournament!\\n\\nOur Prior Interview: Episode 156 with Michiel Abeln\\xa0\\n\\n04:00- What would surprise a recreational chess player who decided to show up and play in the Open Tournament at Wijk an Zee?\\xa0\\nMentioned: Kings, Queens and Rookies (new book from New in Chess)\\n\\n07:30- How much can fans interact with the top players there?
