my 70JT came from GM Jan Sprenger. He contacted the KNSB ( Dutch Chess
Federation)who provided book and money prizes. My good old friend Hans Bohm
provided 15 beautiful statues. I wish to express my gratitude to them. I
contacted Harold van der Heijden with the question if he wanted to become the
tournament director( again!) and he consented. Early October he sent me 91
studies,as usual in anonymous form.Van der Heijden had checked all studies on
soundness and anticipations. He confided to me that he had spent a quarter of
an hour on each study. A tremendous amount of work and I thank him for his
efforts. The 91 studies were a rich harvest; there were theoretical
investigations- even on the 9th game of the first Karpov-Kasparov match-that
were certainly worthwhile. I concentrated, however, on complicated and
beautiful twists and combinations in endgames.My first selection contained 37
studies, a clear sign that the general level was high.In my final selection
quite a few good studies were left out; they may score well in other tourney's.
I take this opportunity to thank all composers for their entries. Before I
made my final decision I asked GM Erwin L 'Ami for advice, as I did 10 years
ago for my 60JT. Our views didn't differ that much,but he helped me to make
some important decisions,eg about the first prize.While I could guess the
names of the 2nd and 3th prize with almost certainty, the overall winner came
as a surprise.There is a seperate section for studies by strong players, a
proposal of Harold.In fact a special prize was awarded in this section by Jan
Sprenger. While Alexander and Victor Mikhalevsky were dominant here, special
attention should be given to 15 year old Dommaraju Gukesh who sent in a well
thought out study.I hope he will continue on this path and become both a great
player and composer.} 1. f8=Q $1 Ra4+ $1 (1... Bxf8 2. R7b2+ Kc3 3. Bd4+ Kc4 4.

[ JT: An impressive study. There is a synthesis in the mutual sacrifices. The
recurring Novotny theme is very convincing..Basically it is all about the a-
and e-file where White's passed pawns are.Still this only becomes apparent at
the end. I believe that the second main line is not really necessary, as 12.
Ba5+!! is an important final point of the solution.My congratulations to
Michael Pasman, who has made great progress this year.} 1-0

endgame study ends with the bB and bS blocking their king, which results in an
unexpected mate in the center of the board. The final position of these pieces
echoes their configuration in the diagram position. JT: The technique is
impressive. White creates the final mate in a meticulous way and forces the
self blocks. I have just one objection: it is not easy to explain why White
doesn'win if he plays differently on move 7 or 8]} 1-0
