Jun-28-06  Dr. Funkenstein: Hmm, not what you would expect in a game between masters. 104. Rb6?? Kh5??, it must have been a time scramble and a tough way to lose.

<Visser tricked Smeets using a blitz move 104. Rb6 leaving his rook en-prise to his opponents rook who was so short of time he didn't notice it.>

Jun-29-06  Poisonpawns: Wow Smeets just left the Rook hanging,I guess he wanted to be like Karpov and Short with famous one move blunders.
Jul-01-06  Pennypacker: Dennis Monokroussos has some comments about it on his blog.

Jul-10-06  jperr75108: Rb6 is kind of a way to resign when youre very frustrated. He blew a decent position early on in the game.
Dec-06-06  ToTheDeath: Dirty pool, although the fact that Smeets pushed for the win in a clearly drawn position might have encouraged Visser to play this trick in the time scramble. Poor stuff any way you look at it.
Oct-03-08  Alphastar: Visser told me about the situation in this game.

Apparently they were both in dire time trouble and the position is ofcourse an easy win for black. But Smeets' attention was all on the pawns on his kingside, so Visser was shuffling his rook a bit around on the queenside, until he put it on the same line as Smeets' rook. And unfortunately, the current dutch champion didn't notice it.

After the game Smeets stormed out of the playing hall closely followed by a huge bang. Apparently he karate-kicked a door open.

  Penguincw: White put a lot of pressure in the middlegame, but had to wait to the endgame to win.
Jan-26-13  vinidivici: 104...Kh5 is the move to try before retiring.

Thats of course would haunt you for the rest of your career
