Europees Zonetoernooi 20-26 april in Gniezno, Polen

[A.Presman]

Excuse-me, my English is not perfect.
I would to say : breakthough to king or opening to king.
In french langage : "une percée à dame".

No problem, Pascal.
On THIS DRAUGHTS Forum everybody understands what you mean with "breakthrough to lady".
Go on with you publications. It is interesting for every visitor.

Ron Heusdens has played a good game against De Meulenaere in the firt round.
Position after the 37th move (14-19) :

38. 45-40 ! 35x44 39. 39x50
An exchange that allows obtaining from game liberty and to weaken the left white wing.
39. ..-.. 19-24
If blacks play 11-17, white have a good advantage with the exchange 27-21! 16x27 31x11 06x17 and 36-31! and now I propose you few variants :
*1. 19-24 29x20 25x14 31-27 13-19 50-44 18-23 44-39 14-20 27-22! 17-21 [or?] 22-18 ... +.
*2. 19-24 29x20 25x14 31-27 14-19 33-29! and the black ones must grant a man.
*3. 19-24 29x20 25x14 31-27 13-19 50-44 19-24 44-39 09-13 39-34 13-19 34-29 14-20 27-22! 18x27 32x21 20-25 29x20 25x14 33-29 and the black ones must a man by 26-31 because 14-20 is bad with the combination 28-22 and 38-32 ...+.
*4. 19-24 29x20 25x14 31-27 13-19 50-44 14-20 44-39 18-23 27-22 and 22-18 ... +.
*5. 18-22 29-23 09-14 32-27 13-18 50-45 18x29 27x07 17-22 33x13 22x42 37x48 26x37 13-08 37-41 08-02 with a end-game wining.

Position after the 50th 32-28.

50. ..-.. 17-22 ??
Decisive error.
Perhaps De Meulenaere haven't got much time in the clock.
50. ..-.. 17-21 is the best move and black have remise after 51. 27-22 18x27 31x22 06-11!.
After 50. ..-.. 17-22, De Meulenaere will lose in a few move.

In french langage : "une percée à dame".

Eric means that "Breakthrough to lady" is an excellent invention. Thanks again Pascal.
'Une percée à dame' c'est plus belle que 'Breakthrough to king'!

I draw your attention to the Kirzner/Lognon's end of game.
Position after the 65th move (37-41) :
Kirzner played at the 66th move 24-19??whereas it seems to me that the white had the remise "in the hands" by 66. 33-28! and now two variants :
1. 66. ..-.. 41-46 67. 14-10! 46x39 68. 10-05 with remise.
2. 66. ..-.. 41-47 67. 24-20! 47x15 68. 14-10! 15-33 [or ?] 69. 28x39 04x15 70. 39-33 ... remise.
After 66. 24-19, the victory is on the draughtboard :
66. ..-.. 27-32! 67. 26-21
Leave a combination devastator but there was not better.
Indeed, if white play 67. 14-10 [to avoid the combination] there is 04x15 and now two variants :
1. 68. 19-14 15-20 69. 14x25 41-47 70. 34-29 08-12 ... victory.
2. 68. 26-21 32-37 69. 21-16 37-42 70. 16-11 42-48 71. 34-29 48-31 72. 11-06 41-46 73. 06-01 46x05 74. 29-24 31-13 75. 01-06 13x35 and blacks wine to mens.
And Oscar Lognon make the combination by 08-13, 04-10 and 41-46.
A important success for the french player.

Lognon was just lucky that Kirzner didn't play 67.34-30! with an easy draw. The clue is 41-47 14-10-5!! = White may try 41-46 26-21 46-37 21-17 37-26 14-10 (17-11?? 8-13 B+) 4x15 19-14 26x12 14-9, but this does not win either. An example: 32-37 30-24 37-41 24-19 12-26 9-4 26-48 19-14 and white obtains 2 kings.

Position after the 50th 32-28.

50. ..-.. 17-22 ??
Decisive error.
Perhaps De Meulenaere haven't got much time in the clock.
50. ..-.. 17-21 is the best move and black have remise after 51. 27-22 18x27 31x22 06-11!.
After 50. ..-.. 17-22, De Meulenaere will lose in a few move.

After 17-21 27-22 18x27 31x22 6-11 28-23 white wins right away. What can black do? You see: 11-17 22x11 16x7 23-19 and now two variants:

- 21-27 19-14 26-31 37x26 27-32 14-10 32-38 10-5 38-43 5-23! 7-11 23-28! 11-16 28-32! W+
- 3-9 35-30 21-27 30-25 26-31 37x26 27-32 25-20 32-38 19-14 9-13 14-10 38-42 10-5 42-37 20-15 and black loses his pieces, for example: 13-18 15-10 18-23 10-4 23-29 5-28 7-12 4-27 etc.

PLAYERS OF FRANCE lost !!!! [img]images/smilies/icon_cry.gif[/img]

[Kosmos]

Wollaert - Kirzner

Brian Wollaert had voor een stunt kunnen zorgen in de eerste ronde.

Na 13-19 27-22 8-13?

(alleen 16-21 is mogelijk)
forceerde de belg schijfwinst met:

30-24! 19x30 25x34 13-19 32-28! 23x32 37x28 26x37 34x23



Tot aan dit moment valt er op het spel van de witspelers niks aan te merken (behalve dan dat hij de opening zeer goed en het middenspel goed speelde). Nu volgde echter dramatisch

40-35! 19-24 28-22??

Gewoon 37-32 wint.

17x19 37-32 24x33 35x15 19-24 38x20 27x40

en wit gaf het op....

Het zou leuk zijn als Nederland nog een plaats aan dit kwalificatietoernooi overhield.

[Jacques PERMAL]

It would be also nice to see qualification of a french player for 2005 WC !! [img]images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
OSCAR LOGNON took the lead from LAURENT NICAULT for FRANCE. He will qualify perhaps.
