I knew John plays the English against computers frequently and I used this line to get maximum activity for Black. A fact is that 6 Qa4+ counts on 6 ... Qd7 with a queen's trade, obviously what Van der Wiel wanted. But 6 ... Bd7!? is a very interesting pawn sac and after that move there was no way back. I don't agree that Van der Wiel lost this game because of a bad opening choice. I am sure he didn't expect this pawn sac to appear on the board. As it happened, it was too late. Anyway, I am proud of the win by Rebel and happy that I finally got some prepared lines working! Jeroen >I imagine that v/d Wiel must have felt confident and tried to stomp Rebel >tactically.
