 Hi Jeroen,

 In the position below, black's major problem is his king. So the choice
 of gambit Tiger 22.-e5 (with eval -0.15) is really challenging...
 The black knight no longer has the square e5, but black's plan is to
 plant it on d4. But white can easily open up the position and gets a strong
 attack. My first try went like this:

 22.-e5  23.Qb6 Nd4  24.Rxd4 (of course) exd4  25.Qxd4 Qh6  26.Qd5+ Kg7
 27.c5 dxc5  28.Qxc5 Qg6  29.e5 f5  30.f4 exf3 e.p.  31.e6 f4  32.Bf2

 For these moves GT used more than 1 hour and doesn't like black's
 position anymore -2.12. His king is naked - his pieces have almost no
 squares and white's passer is a giant, not to mention the awoken bishop!
