Really, some very strange chess is being played at Leiden! Despite its victory,
one can hardly say that Gambit Tiger has "added to theory" with the bizarre and
unmotivated maneuver 15.Rg2? Fortunately, the opponent didn't pursue queenside
play in exactly thematic fashion, preferring instead to return the gained tempi
with its dubious notion of Bc6 followed by Bd7.
