I totaly agree with Loek van Wely to try and win! Not like some who are so
willing to take a draw offer so easily.
Bobby Fischer had this same attitude and won many games from Grandmasters who
thought he could only get a draw. He complicated the position and beat his
opponents many times this way!!!
