In Leiden Gambit Tiger played a very attractive game against Nimzo, with an exchange sacrifice that proved only to be correct 20 moves later. I would hardly call this 'boring'. In the 5 other games in Leiden (if you have played them through) Gambit Tiger was confronted with an exchange of queen's right in or after the opening. 'It takes 2 to Tango', so if opponents start trading queens, it is clear you have a technical game and not an aggressive one. But you can't blame Tiger for that. Besides, Tiger's endgame is VERY strong, as it proved in the 4th, 5th and 6th round by winning 3 endgames convincingly. So I don't mind playing these endgames, as Tiger's technique is superior. Another point: I am in Leiden to win the championship with Tiger and if this happens by winning 10 endgames, I don't care. I am not there to win the brilliancy prize, I want to win the title.
