It was hardly perfection between the two battling GMs, with 50 years separating the two, but the games were exciting and fun to watch, with tactics and action aplenty. Consider the game in round four:
Timman - Van Foreest
Black just played ...e5, a mistake that Timman pounced on. White
to play and win.
It was a match of youth versus experience, where experience took the day
Jorden Van Foreest, 16, will undoubtedly learn a lot from this opportunity
Jan Timman was in good form
15-year-old Anna-Maja Kazarian smiling for the cameras, could not be smiling about the games
Sopiko Guramishvili conceded only one draw in six games
The Open was won by top-seed Abhijeet Gupta who took sole first with 7.0/9
Deep Sengupta (right) came in second with 6.5/9, edging out Jan Werle (left) who came in
fourth with the same score. In third was Benjamin Bok.
Alexander Shabalov was a true fighter, with 6.0/9 and no draws!
Erwin L'Ami came in fifth
A strong reaction to a bad opening
Players and spectators following the top games
By all standards, Hoogeveen was a great success
Loek Van Wely, the tounrament director, greets the players
Loek van Wely and Hans Böhm play a game of bicycle chess
