Mephisto Explorer - Stefan Timmermans 1 - 0
An Benoni was played, but I do not know the theory of this line myself after white has played 3.g3. I took the wrong setup, as I usually do in this opening,
and my King played early to f8. I could sustain and had the initiative on the Queens side. I suffered in the attack from the fact that my Rooks weren't connected, after whites move 25 Bh6 I was puzzled and played a wrong defensive moves not bringing any improvement, then 26 Qb2 !! was the beginning of the end....

Fritz 1 - Stefan Timmermans 1 - 0 (neu 23/08/2010 !!!!)
A beautiful game, I had good play, long time an advantage, could have won the game, missed the chance, then ended up in an late Midgame to endgame, had 2 good chances to play for the draw, but then again , wanted do go for the audacious move and finally , made a bad call even after that ( 41 ... b5 was a draw, 41...g6 was a sure loss) and once again lost in a game where I had most of the time the initiative. But the style I lost , is typical the style I loose against Oldies. Never underestimate them !!!
