The Master Game

on BBC Two England

An international knockout chess tournament, presented by Jeremy James
Second Semi-final Donner (Holland) v Larsen (Denmark)
' Well, there's probably no player in the world who has lost so many games with this variation as I did, but I must play it,' says Jan Hein Donner of Holland, noted chess writer and wit, elated by his sensational win in the first round, as he takes on Bent Larsen of Denmark, the most successful chess player in Western Europe for the past 15 years.
This should be a great tussle between two players who had one of the most exciting and entertaining games in last year's tournament.
Expert commentary and analysis by William Hartston , twice winner of this tournament.
