GM Sandipan Chanda won the Dutch Open 2016 with 7.5/9. In the last round he was up against GM Ikonnikov. After the opening he faced a crucial decision - whether to offer a draw and ensure the first place (maybe joint) or to play for a win and try for the unshared title. He chose the latter but for that he had to find a very subtle rook move. Learn how a strong GM solves such issues.
