LEEUWARDEN The fourth and final game that Alexander Schwarzman and Roel Boomstra played in Leeuwarden, ended in a draw after an interesting classical game. The standing is now 4-4.

After the third game, in which Schwarzman had to defend heavily in the late middle game, the calm opening gave the impression that the Russian want to catch his breath. After a couple of exchanges, the homework variants could be put away, and the game got into a classical position. After 20 moves of calm manoeuvring, the position was even completely symmetrical, with Schwarzman, playing white, having to move first.

The world champion had to make a key decision first and chose a careful path. For Boomstra there was however hardly any opportunity to benefit from this. Schwarzman even forced him to simplify the position. After 41 moves, all juice had disappeared from the position and a draw was agreed

As compensation, both players came to the demonstration room to entertain the audience. Most attention went to the third game, where the most exciting moments were put in the spotlight. Schwarzman confirmed he really struggled at the end of that game, but that a clear error was to blame. If he had not made that, the position would have remained balanced. And that’s how we know the top players. Even in the discussion afterwards he wants to defend that he is right.

Today at 12 noon the fifth game will start in the Van Swinderen Huys in Groningen.

Had a great day at WK Match Leeuwarden!
