I am pretty sure that Van der Doel was going for a kill against the 'stupid' comp by giving up on the f2 pawn and getting two pieces for the Rook which he could have been activating later on in the game. However Fritzy opened up the g-file, not the f-file! What a laugh... I think, as some other people here, that Van der Doel was nicely outsmarted... Similar to the way that Garry was outsmarted in game 6 of his match vs DB. *** Djordje PS: I would have rooted for Rebel as well had it been in the Champs too. I love watching top programs playing strong human players :-)
