Against Sjeng Tiger didn't win a promising position in this line, this time it went better! 12 ... b6 13. Qc2 Nc5 14. O-O-O? Woops, this is asking for trouble. In a higher sense White might be losing already. Tiger doesn't take the shortest route, but Black's advantage is obvious. 14 ... c6 15.Bc4 cxd5 16. Bxd5 Nxd5 17. Rxd5 Qe7 18. Ne2 Qf6 19.

Comment Vincent Diepenveen: You are playing bad lines and hope to get away with it! Come on Vince, the Pirc is perfectly playable and I would be glad to show this against Diep :-) 2. Nf3 Nf6 3.

White's pieces do not cooperate that well, so The King decides to give a pawn: 12. a4 Bxc3 13. Bxc3 Nxa4 14. Bd4 e5 15. b3 exd4 16. bxa4 Ne5 17. Nxd4 Qb6 18. c3 bxa4 19. Qd2 Qc5 20. Be2 Bd7 21. f4 Ng4 22. f5 Better was Bxg4 with unclear play. 22 ... Nf6 23. Bd3 Rae8 24. Rf4 a5 25. Rdf1 Kg7 26. fxg6? And this was the real lemon. Now Black has a huge advantage. 26. ... fxg6 27. Kh1 a3 28. Qf2 Qe5 29. Qa2 d5 30. exd5 Ng4! Tiger finishes off neatly. It saw the win quicker than The King did. 31. g3 Rxf4 32. gxf4 Qe3 33. Ba6 Rb8 34. Qxa3 Rb1 35. Ne6+ Bxe6 36. Qe7+ Bf7 37.

A tough game up to here and Tiger saw some advantage for Black, so it decided to force matters with this exchange sac. Probably a sound decision and giving Black lots of opportunities to go wrong. 34 ... cxd5 35. Rxd5 Qc2 Yep, Insomniac goes pawn hunting, which leads to disaster! 36. Bf5 Qxa2 37. Qg6 Qxb3 38. Qh7+ Kf7 39. Rd6 Rfe8 40. Bg6+ Kf8 41. Bxe8 Kxe8 42. g4! Wow, a real shocker! Would you have played this move!? 42 ... Rd7 43. Qh8+ Ke7 44. Rg6 Qc4 45. Qxg7+ Kd8 46. Qe5 Kc8 47. Rxb6 Qc7 48. Qe6 a4 49. Rc6 1-0 All in all I am very happy with Tiger's play. And with the tournament standings of course :-) Jeroen
