{Is het zinvol om op ons niveau, 3e klasse onderbond, jezelf op een 
tegenstander voor te bereiden en zo ja, hoe moet je dat dan doen. Velen 
onder ons zullen zeggen dat het onzin is om je voor te bereiden op een 
tegenstander, vaak voortvloeiende uit tijdgebrek, anderen zouden dat wel 
willen, maar weten vaak niet hoe.Voorbereiden doe je meestal aan de hand 
van partijen van je tegenstander. Partijen die uitgebreid geanalyseerd 
dienen te worden, zodat je er achter kan komen hoe je tegenstander zijn 
partijen opzet, denkt etc. Het probleem is echter dat op internet veelal 
geen partijen van ons niveau zijn terug te vinden, laat staan van een 
specifieke tegenstander. Tenzij er een vereniging is die een database 
bijhoudt waarin partijen van de eigen leden zijn opgenomen. Mocht je je 
dan willen voorbereiden dan kunnen de partijen, die van een bepaalde 
speler zijn opgenomen, weleens uitkomst brengen. Dat gold min of meer ook 
voor mij. Toen ik wist dat ik tegen Ben Spijkers moest spelen heb ik 
direct in de database op de website gekeken en daar alle partij gedownload
van Ben waarin hij de witte stukken bestuurde. Dat waren toch nog 6 
partijen. Bij het naspelen viel mij op dat Ben zijn partijen vaak opzet 
met dezelfde zetten. De pionnen op e4 en d4 en het paard van g1 naar f3 
worden in willekeurige volgorde in het spel gebracht, vaak ook nog gevolgd
door c3 als 4e zet. Wanneer je dat weet en je weet ook dat je tegenstander
zich daar plezierig bij voelt en vaak daardoor goed in zijn spel komt, kan
je proberen iets voor te bereiden wat de reguliere opzet van je 
tegenstander ontregelt. Hoewel ik ook van mening ben dat voorbereiden op 
een specifieke tegenstander niet (altijd) zinvol is vanwege het ontbreken 
van studiemateriaal, heb ik in het geval van Ben toch eens gedaan en ik 
moet u eerlijkheidshalve bekenen dat het wel (gedeeltelijke) succes had. 
Zie onderstaande partij die op 19 februari 2009 voor de interne competitie
werd gespeeld. De partij is door mij in samenwerking met mijn neefje Fritz
van 8 geanalyseerd.} 
1.e4 d6 
    {De Leeuw opening. Vooral bekend en berucht in het Sliedrechtse.}
2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 
    {De eerste afwijking. Ben speelt veelal op de 3e zet Pg1-f3 om zijn 
    stelling te completeren. De tekstzet voorkomt ook c2-c3. Tot nu toe 
    waren mijn bevindingen dus juist.}
3...Nbd7 4.Nf3 
    {Nu dan toch. Ben voelt zich goed in dit soort stellingen. Hier had 
    wit ook 4. f2-f4 kunnen spelen, wat leidt tot aanvallend spel.}
4...e5 5.Bc4 Be7 
    ( 5...h6 {Ooit door de grote Aljechin aangegeven als een goede 
    mogelijkheid om problemen via Pg5 te voorkomen. Er werd in die tijd 
    niets gezegd over 6.d4xe5 d6xe5, 7. Lc4xf7. De zet h6 is niet goed als
    zwart kort wil rocheren. Alleen in de opmars met g5 biedt deze zet 
    perspectief.} )
    ( 5...h6 6.dxe5 dxe5 
        ( 6...Nxe5 {lijkt niet juist, vanwege .....} 7.Nxe5 dxe5 8.Bxf7+ {
        en wit staat beter.} )
    7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 
        ( {Na} 7...Ke7 8.Bb3 {staat wit een gezonde pluspion voor.} )
    8.Nxe5+ Kg8 9.Ng6 Rh7 )
6.O-O 
    ( 6.Bxf7+ {een dubieus offer dat vrijwel altijd leidt naar 
    voordeelvoor zwart. Zie de volgende variant:} 6...Kxf7 7.Ng5+ Kg8 8.
    Ne6 Qe8 9.Nxc7 Qg6 {zwart dreigt op g2 binnen te vallen. Niet goed is}
        ( 9...Qd8 10.Nxa8 Qa5 11.O-O {dat naar groot voordeel voor wit 
        leidt.} )
    )
6...O-O 7.Re1 
    {De meest gespeelde voortzetting. Steunt pion e4 en voorkomt e5xd4 
    gevolgd door Pd7-c5.}
7...c6 8.a4 
    {Voorkomt de opmars b7-b5.}
    ( 8.Bb3 b5 9.d5 b4 10.dxc6 bxc3 11.cxd7 Bb7 {en zwart dreigt nu 12. 
    .... Pf6xe4.Bovendien lijkt de pion op d7 ook te vallen.} )
8...a5 
    {Het voordeel van deze zet is dat een verdere opmars op de damevleugel
    wordt voorkomen. Nadeel is dat veld b6 verzwakt wordt.}
9.h3 
    {voorkomt dat zwart de loper naar g4 speelt waardoor een lastige 
    penning ontstaat. Bovendien bereidt het Lc1-e3 voor, dat dan niet wodt
    gehinderd door Pf6-g4.}
9...Qc7 
    {Ondersteunt pion e5.}
10.d5 
    {Hier wordt de bekende theorie verlaten. Wit heeft betere 
    alternatieven, zoals Lc1-e3 en Lc1-g5 een zet die Pf6 pent, maar meer 
    als bedoeling heeft om via h4 naar g3 te gaan waar druk wordt 
    uitgeoefend op e5-c6-d7. De tekstzet lijkt voorlopig tot niets te 
    leiden.}
10...Nb6 11.Ba2 
    {Naar mijn mening is Lc4-b3 beter. Waarom zult u over enkele zetten 
    zien.}
11...Bd7 
    {Voert de druk op pion a4 op. Let ook even op paard c3 die voor de 
    zware taak staat pionnen a4 en e4 rugdekking te verlenen.}
12.Be3 c5 
    {Nu wordt duidelijk waarom wit beter 11. Lc4-b3 had kunnen spelen. De 
    pion op a4 staat 2x aangevallen en voorlopig maar 1x gedekt.}
13.Nb5? 
    {Deze zet verdient een vraagteken.Naar mijn mening zou La2-b3 beter 
    zijn geweest.}
13...Bxb5 14.axb5 Nxe4 
    {Zwart is niet slecht uit de openng gekomen. De voorbereiding heeft 
    zijn doel bereikt.}
15.c4 
    ( 15.Qd3 f5 16.Nxe5 Bf6 {en wit wint de pion weer terug.} 
        ( 16...dxe5 17.d6+ {en zwart verliest.} )
    )
15...Nf6 
    {Met deze zet laat ik Ben weer terug in de partij komen. Aangewezen 
    was f7-f5 waardoor zwart zijn goede stelling behoudt.}
    ( 15...f5 16.Qe2 Qd8 17.Bb1 Ng5 )
16.Qc2 Nbd7 17.Bb1 
    {Wit voert de druk op h7 op.}
17...g6 
    ( 17...Rfe8 18.Qe2 Bf8 19.Nd2 h6 20.Qf3 g6 21.Ne4 Nxe4 22.Qxe4 f5 23.
    Qh4 )
18.g4 
    ( 18.Bh6 Rfe8 19.Be3 Bf8 20.Ng5 Bg7 21.Bd2 b6 22.Qc3 h6 23.Ne4 Nxe4 
    24.Bxe4 Nf6 )
18...Qc8 19.Bh6 Re8 20.Nd2 Nf8 
    ( 20...Bf8 21.Be3 h6 22.g5 hxg5 23.Bxg5 )
21.Ra3 
    {In een volgens neef Fritz van 8 gelijkwaardige stelling biedt Ben 
    remise aan. Ik ben benieuwd of een Ben in goede doen hier ook remise 
    zou hebben aangeboden. U ziet, voorbereiden kan wel degelijk nuttig 
    zijn en succes hebben.}
