Leeuwarden, 17th April 1978. In the opening round of the Dutch championship, Genna Sosonko thinks over his 2nd move while his opponent, Jan Timman, paces behind. The game was drawn and the two players went on to share first place.

19.Nd2!! [A clever decision to exchange a pair of knights and put more pressure on Black's weak pawn-structure.]
[19.Nf4?! Qe7³ Black successfully would manage to defend his pawns and keep his space advantage.; 19.Nh4?! g6³ Black would enjoy his spatial advantage.]
19...c4 20.Nxe4 fxe4 [20...cxd3?? 21.Qxc8!+–]
21.Nf4 Rc5 22.b3 Ba6 23.Qc3 Rdc8 24.b4± [White has a huge advantage, since his bishop is much better than the opponent's bad one, the dark squares in the enemy camp is very weak, and also Black suffers with a backward pawn on d5.]
1–0
