Hi, Just returned home from Leiden, where I saw Gambit Tiger doing a great job. The games were hard fought, some highlights follow below: Tiger vs. XiniX In this game XiniX surprised with a dubious line, staying 8 games longer in book! But the resulting position was bad and Tiger got in command very quickly. Its pieces jumped into the Black position, winning heavy material. Good positional game. ANT vs. Tiger Some 30 moves not much happened, I was not particulary happy after the opening. A solid Alapin against my Sicilian was countered by a solid line of Tiger, but ANT chose a line leading to an early queen's exchange. As so often one mistake proved enough to get the Tiger going: As soon as ANT allowed the exchange of the black knight versus the bishop, it was all over. Good endgame! Tiger vs. The King A dubious opening line by The King gave Tiger the perfect position: No queen's on the board (King is especially dangerous with queens ON the board!) and some weak black pawns. On top a better bishop and no active Black plan. Tiger slowly outplayed The King, that had no chance in this game. An important and impressive win by Tiger! So far nobody has been able to prove even a slight advantage against Gambit Tiger, that plays extremely safe and confident. But it is too early to celebrate, because Quest remains a dangerous opponent. And Tiger has to play Patzer and Kallisto, that can be tough opponents. See you all next week! Jeroen
