Treep defence
I started out a match against Anneke in which she plays this defence. We've played a lot of
(unrecorded) games in which I tried to refute it. It appears I'm still trying. After
game 1,
game 3 and
game 5 of
our current match,
the score is one lost, one won and one drawn.
The final position appears comfortable enough for white: e4 and g6 are open for several men
and eliminating the lone ranger with e13 seems also inviting. But the games against Anneke
have revealed a variety of very swampy positions in many of which white encounters tempo
problems. One might be well advised even in the above line to slow down pace to gain tempo,
say 3.gxe4 and/or 4.f4x6.
