Chess career

Introduced to the game by his father, Van Foreest learned to play chess at the age of six but did not play regularly until he was nine.[2] He graduated from the Topsport Talent School (nl) in 2018 and since then he has been a professional chess player.[3]

He finished seventh, scoring 3/7 (+2–3=2).[13] From 28 October to 6 November, he competed for the Netherlands on board 4 at the 2017 European Team Chess Championship. He scored 5/7 (+4–1=2) for a performance rating of 2723.[14] From 13 to 25 November, he competed at the World Junior Chess Championship. He placed fifth with a score of 8/11 (+7–2=2),[15] half a point behind the winner Aryan Tari.[16]

From 13 to 28 January 2018, Van Foreest competed in the Tata Steel Challengers. He finished fifth, scoring 7½/13 (+4–2=7).[17] He competed in the 81st Tata Steel Masters in January 2019, placing thirteenth with 4½/13 (+3–7=3).[18] In July, Van Foreest shared first in the 2019 Dutch Championship with 5/7 (+3–0=4), losing on tiebreak to his younger brother Lucas van Foreest.[19]

At the 82nd Tata Steel Masters in January 2020, Van Foreest placed fourth with 7/13 (+3–2=8).[20]

2021

Van Foreest competed in the 83rd Tata Steel Masters in January, and after 13 rounds was tied for first with Anish Giri on a score of 8½/13 (+4–0=9). After drawing both blitz tiebreakers, Van Foreest won the armageddon game, thus winning the tournament.[21] In the process, Van Foreest increased his Elo rating to 2700+ for the first time in his career,[22] and became the first Dutchman since Jan Timman in 1985 to win Wijk aan Zee.[23] He acted as a second for Magnus Carlsen in the World Chess Championship 2021 against Ian Nepomniachtchi.[24]

Van Foreest was born in Utrecht on 30 April 1999 and raised in Groningen, and is a member of the Dutch noble family "Van Foreest" with the honorific of jonkheer.[25][26] He is the great-great grandson of Arnold van Foreest and great-great grandnephew of Dirk van Foreest. Both Arnold and Dirk were three-time Dutch Chess Champions (Arnold: 1889, 1893, 1902; Dirk: 1885, 1886, 1887).[2][11]
