	Seems Timman pulled a "topalov": racing to 5 wins and draw the rest. Quick draw in the last game making him unreachable for the rest.

	If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

Well, my club mate is still going strong leading by a whole point! In the analysis room we thought he'd be toast after 53.Kb5 d2 54.Kb6 as he doesn't collect the c-pawn - but I think we found a draw in the end, but I don't remember how. I think I am on the right track now. In stead of taking the c pawn black should just give check or go to a1 if not possible. If white doesnt protect the a pawn with the king black can just take it. Eg 54.Kb6 Rb1+ 55.Kc6 Ra1 56.c5 Rxa7 Going to the 8th row with the king also doesnt seem to help. So my original hunch was incorrect

	Ouch, the worst I had was when a friend (and opponent) started a Gollum imitation after I played a weird move. "It hurtss our eyess yes it hurtss us" That was blitz though and I do worse things myself.

	Quote: I didnt know that, would be great to have someone like him sitting a few boards away. Well, as long he's sittin'... - I played the IM subtournament some years ago - only held because there were only four players in GM group that year. In one game I blundered the h-pawn as black in an English opening (though it might have looked like I gave it up for an attack down the h-file...) which is embarrassing enough, but having Timman and Judit Polgar strolling by and looking confusedly at the mess is even more so...

There's some lines with pawn a7 and c6/c7 against a rook being amazingly drawn some times. iIrc the draw was something with a queen ending arising, but it's a blur atm... I was looking at that too 57 Kb8 Rb1+ 58 Kc8 Ra1 59 Rd7 and now I have to think of something really smart to avoid Kb8 and Rb7, so I'll try to find something with the board later on.

	Timman is relaxing with a quick draw, so he can beat up the last Swede in the last round

	Nice to see! Great players are always dangerous, even when people have written them off!
