Less than 10 years ago local hero Timman was playing for the FIDE world title against Anatoly Karpov; now journalists were asking him whether he expected to play in Wijk aan Zee ever again.
After Wijk aan Zee, the Dutch press had clearly decided that Timman at 51 was too old and too unprepared to compete in such a high level tournament.
Whether Timman is prepared to adopt such a strategy to revive his chess fortunes is a moot point.

 Loman's move, Jan Timman, and the double Prokes.
The point of 51...Rxg2+ is that the rook, moving away with check, vacates the square where the pawn threatened to capture, and since pawns cannot move to such squares, White would have lost a vital option.
After a while, as Timman is a top-notch composer as well, we turned to talking chess studies, and I tried to remember my old double-Prokeš outline, but did not really manage.
I published this in my chess column, Timman prepared to use it for an article about the Prokeš-manoeuver but then, as so often happens with endgame studies, it was cooked.
