1. e4 c5 { I prepared for Timman's other openings like the French. I figured that if he would play the Sicilian he would go for the Taimanov and I play that myself with black, so that would be ok to have on the board as well. } 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 Nc6 { This is a surprise, he plays the Rauzer. } 6. Bg5 e6 7. Qd2 a6 8. O-O-O Bd7 ( 8... Be7 { was something Timman played some years ago. } ) 9. f3 { I tried to remember the f4 lines, but in the end decided to go for an English Attack setup. } 9... Be7 10. Be3 { Improvising at the board, I figured I lose a tempo here, but black has lost one by putting his bishop on d7, which really belongs on b7 or c6, but is now standing in the way of his knight on f6. } 10... Rc8 ( { Probably it was best for black to transpose to a well-known variation in the English Attack with: } 10... Nxd4 11. Qxd4 e5 12. Qd2 Be6 { but Timman is not used to these kind of positions, so he decided to go for another plan. } ) ( 10... h5 { this is a normal move if white has played h4 already, but now it looks weird, any other move other than h4 should give white some advantage, e.g. Kb1 } ) 11. g4 Na5 12. Kb1 b5 13. Bd3 Nc4 14. Bxc4 Rxc4 15. Nce2 { With the idea to open the h-file with Ng3 if black wants to move his knight to h5 after white's g5. } 15... O-O 16. g5 Ne8 ( 16... Nh5 17. Ng3 Nxg3 18. hxg3 { and black will die on the h-file. } ) 17. h4 Qc8 18. b3 Rc7 19. Nf4 ( { Normally white would go Ng3 and win in the attack, but I wasn't sure about: } 19. Ng3 f6 20. f4 d5 { and although this is very nice for white, I felt I could already get more. } ) 19... Rc3 20. Rdg1 b4 21. h5 ( 21. Nde2 Rxe3 22. Qxe3 Nc7 { and although white is probably winning, black does have some compensation. } ) 21... Nc7 22. g6 $1 { White is completely winning here with a very serious attack while the question has to be asked: where exactly is black's counterplay? } 22... Bf6 ( { Other moves also lose for black: } 22... fxg6 23. Nxg6 $1 { and the attack crashes through. } ( { also very good is: } 23. hxg6 h6 24. Nh5 ) ) 23. h6 fxg6 24. hxg7 ( 24. Qh2 Kf7 $1 25. hxg7 Rg8 { and black is still alive } ) 24... Rf7 { I believe just about every move wins here. I figured winning a queen would be alright. } 25.
