GM Timman (2623) v. IM Van Hastert (2427)
annotated by Peter Connor
This very entertaining game was played August 1, 2002 in the
Amsterdam Lost Boys tournament.
[Click
here for an interactive board.]
1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e5 c5
Black plays a Winawer French defense, a courageous choice against a leading
theoretician like Timman
5.a3 Bxc3+ 6.bxc3 Ne7 7.Qg4 Qa5
Black declines to play a regular poison pawn variation in which White would
take on g7 and h7.
8.Bd2 0-0 9.Bd3 Nbc6 10.Nf3 f5 11.exf6 (e.p.) Rxf6 12.Qh5 Nf5 13.g4 c4
14.gxf5 cxd3 15.Rg1 Bd7
Timman has a strong attack.
16.c4 Qd8 17.Bh6 Rf7
Other defenses also don't work; for example, 17...Qe8 18.Rxg7+ Kh8 19.Qg5
Rxf5 20.Rxh7+ Kxh7 Qg7mate.
18.Ng5 Qa5+ 19.Kf1 Raf8 20.Nxf7 Rxf7 21.Bxg7 Rxg7
Now Timman shows off, since 22. Rxg7+ wins easily but
22.f6 1-0
It's mate after 22...Qd2 23.Qg4+ Kf8 24.Qg7+ Ke8 25.Qg8
