1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Nc6 8. d5 Ne7 9. b4 Nh5 10. g3 f5 11. Ng5 Nf6 12. f3 f4 13. Kg2 c6 14. Qb3 h6 15. Ne6 Bxe6 16. dxe6 Qc8 17. Rd1 Rd8 18. c5!? This is a new move. In a previous game Loek had played 18.Nd5, which was quite dubious, so it was to be expected that he would try something else. 18... d5 The best move, of course. 19. exd5 19. gxf4 exf4 20. Bxf4 Qxe6 21. Rac1 Nh5 and in this position white definately is not better. 19... Nfxd5 The most solid option. 19... cxd5!? 20. Nb5 (20. gxf4!? Qxe6 21. fxe5 Qxe5 22. f4 Because of the weak black d-pawn white has some compensation, but the question remains whether it is enough.) 20... Ne8!? (20... a6 21. Nd6 Qxe6 22. Nxb7 Rd7 23. Nd6 With an unclear position, black has the centre, but the two bishops and the strong duo on c5 and d6 do give white decent chances.) 21. gxf4 Qxe6 22. Bb2 a6 (22... Nf5) 23. Nc3 exf4 24. Bd3 Nc7 White still has compensation, but not more.(24... Qe5!?) 20. Ne4 Qxe6 21. g4 Kh8?! 21... b5 22. cxb6 axb6 23. b5 Rac8! (23... cxb5 24. Bxb5 Nc6 25. Rxd5 Rxd5 26. Bc4 Ne7 That white has compensation is easy so see now.) 24. Bc4 cxb5 25. Qxb5 Qc6 26. Qxc6 Rxc6 27. Bb3 Kh7 but here black does not have a nice position either. 21... h5 22. h3 hardly changes anything. 22. Kh1 Ng8 23. Bb2 Ngf6 24. g5 Nxe4?! I did not feel confortable playing this move. White has very active play. 24... hxg5!? 25. Nxg5 Qe7 26. Bxe5? (26. Rg1 a5 27. b5 Rd7) 26... Rd7! with a big tactical problem for white. 25. fxe4 Nc7 26. gxh6 Bf6 26... Bxh6 27. Bc4 Qe7 28. Qc3 and white is clearly better. 27. Bc4 Qg4 28. Rd6 Ne8!? However passive this may look, it still is a good fighting move. 28... f3 29. Qc2 Rxd6 30. cxd6 Nb5 31. Rg1 Qh5 32. Bxb5 cxb5 and here white is better as well. He has better pieces and the d-pawn is more dangerous than the f-pawn. 28... Rxd6 29. cxd6 Nb5 30. Rg1 Qd7 31. Bxb5 (31. Rxg6 Nxd6) 31... cxb5 32. Qd5 with a clear advantage. 29. Rxf6! Nxf6 30. Bxe5 Rf8 31. Qc3 31. Bf7 Rxf7 and white has to accept the perpetual check. 31. Rg1 Qh5 32. Qc3 Kh7! 33. Bxf4 Rae8 White is better, but black is well in the game. 31... Qh4 32. Rf1 Kh7 33. Bd6 Qxh6 33... Nh5 34. Rf3 (34. Bxf8 Rxf8 35. Rf3 Re8 36. Bd3 Kxh6 unclear.) 34... Rf6 and the fight continues. 35. Rh3?! Qg4 36. Rxh5 f3 37. Bg3 Rd8 34. Rxf4? Spoils a great position. 34. Bxf8 Rxf8 35. Qd3 Qh4 36. Rg1 34... Nd5! 35. Rxf8 Nxc3 36. Rf7+ Kg8 37. Rf8+ Kh7 38. Rf7+ Kg8 39. Be6 Nxe4?? Well, what can I say... what a pity! 39... Qh5 would save the game. 40. Rf5+ Kh7 41. Rxh5+ gxh5 42. Bf5+ Kg8 43. e5 Kf7 and in the position a draw would be the most likely result. 40. Rxb7+ And also without the mate in 9 that Fritz now gives, it is clear that I have to resign. 1-0 [Pruijssers]
