Teer,F. - Wesselink,W. 1-1 (26-01-2002)
During the semi finals of the Dutch championships I played the following interesting game with Frank Teer.
≡ 1.34-29 18-22 2.40-34 12-18 3.45-40 7-12 4.50-45 1-7 5.31-26 16-21 6.32-28 19-23 7.28x19 14x23 8.35-30 10-14 9.30-24 5-10 10.33-28 22x33 11.39x19 14x23 12.37-32 21-27 13.32x21 11-16 14.41-37 16x27 15.37-32 17-21 16.26x17 12x21 17.46-41 21-26 18.32x21 26x17 19.38-32 7-12 20.43-39 17-21 21.42-37 21-26 22.36-31 20-25 23.31-27 12-17 24.48-42 6-11 25.49-43 9-14 26.40-35 4-9 27.44-40
Now 17-22? isn't very attractive for black because of the combination 28.43-38 22x31 29.32-27 31x22 30.34-30 23x32 31.37x6 25x34 32.40x29. An alternative plan for black is to head for a Partie Bonnard. During the game I was under the impression that this would be better for white. As we'll see later this was a mistake.
A much more interesting plan was ≡ 10-14 29.39-33 14-19 30.35-30 2-7(!), see diagram.
In this position white cannot play 31.33-28? because of 18-22 32.27x18 13x33 33.24x4 (or 24x2) 33x44 with a winning position for black. And after the logical move ≡ 31.41-36 8-12! white has no other choice than to play the ugly move 32.40-35, which gives black good perspectives to win the game. The only satisfactory plan for white is therefore ≡ 31.27-21(!) 7-12 (and certainly not ≡ 8-12? 32.21-16! and white wins) ≡ 32.21-16 17-22 33.16x7 12x1 34.41-36 8-12 35.32-27 22x31 36.36x27 12-17 37.27-21! 17-22 38.37-32 26x17 39.32-28 23x43 40.33-28 22x33 41.29x49 20x29 42.34x21 25x34 43.40x29 with an equal position.
≡ 29.39-33 17-22 30.41-36 22x31 31.36x27 18-22 32.29x18 22x31 33.32-27 13x22 34.27x36 20x29 35.34x23 22-27 36.33-29
After the following move 9-13 the game suddenly comes to an end. With the simple but very effective move 37.29-24?! white shattered my remaining hopes for a positive result. Black cannot allow 35-30, so further exchanges are unavoidable.
9-13 37.29-24 10-14 38.23-19 14x23 39.35-30 25x34 40.40x9 3x14 41.38-32 27x38 42.42x33 14-19
