Final round 7

 

I really cought a severe cold, so today I can`t see our book about Roozenburg...

It was weird. The game Getmansky-Samb is without result, at this moment.

The chief-referee made a big mistake during just before the 50th move, when the players had little time. He ordered Getmansky to finish his notation, while he had only 10 seconds left for his last move. Samb was playing for a time-victory, while the position was draw. This was his good right and it is understandable that he was really mad after the interruption of the referee, which, in Sambs eyes, helped Getmansky in this situation.

On the other site, Getmansky must have been stupefied by the action of the referee.

We wait and hope for the best now. It would be a disaster if one of the players would step out of the tournament now.

 

For the Dutch it was a party . Gérard Jansen won against Georgiev. Fabulous!

The defending World-Champion placed an attack early in the game that was well cought by the dutchman. Georgiev was forced to make a big change, that brought both players at king, be it that Georgiev first had to wait for the promotion.

As an audience we are getting used to Georgiev searching for big changes with kings for both an after that turning on the calculation machine.

Gérard Jansen is a very strong calculator, one of the best in this players field.

Some spectaculair moments from this game:

 

Tekstvak:  Georgiev-G.Jansen

 

Blacks last move was: 30. ....11-16!

Now he directs his arrows to the gap on 44, the weakest link in the white position, with the menace 22-28.

Georgiev decided:

 

31.37-31 26x37 32.42x31 22-28! 33.33x11 24x44 34. 11-6 44-50

 

Black is the first to have a king. The change is to the advantage of black, because of the vulnerable position of white pieces at the center.

 

 

35.31-26 50-17! 36. 35-30 3-9 37.43-39 ...  

 

White gives a piece to get a king.

 

... 17x44 38.26x17 12x21

 

 

Later in the game Black won another piece:

 

Tekstvak:

Georgiev-G.Jansen

 

White played:

 

44.6-50 ...

 

Now black wins another piece:

 

...12-18! 45.23x12 13-19 46.24x13 27-31 47.36x27 49x38.

 

Somewhat later white capitulated.
