White can attack immediately 5.29 24 20 x

29 6.35 x 24. This Fox is played frequently by
masters and grandmasters against weaker
opponents to complicate the game and play
against the right wing attack. Players like
Baljakin, Schwarzman and Gantwarg love to
play the Fox and have gained good results and
played several beautiful games with it.

If white plays 2.34 29 23 x 32 3.37 x 28 black

can play 12 18, but after 2.33 29 the move
is prohibited!
Black can go in several directions
depending
on his desired strategy. If black wants a
modern game, playing against a right wing
attack he can play the popular 20 25 entering
the Fox. This opening is called after Dutch
draughts player J.H. Vos. Since vos means
fox in Dutch, we cal this opening The Fox.

Black can now play 16 21, but most of the

a complicated game that should be studied
seriously. The nice F. de Koning Thijssen
game (2010) is shown in the appendix. GMI
Kees Thijssen is a specialist in this Highland
opening.

The most interesting move in this position that

has emerged on the board hundreds of times,
is 12.27 22 18 x 27 13.3 x 22 launching a
Highland attack. This opening is thus logical y

called the Highland variation or Highlander.

Whites most popular replies are 6.35 30 (20

personal
favorite:

Right wing continuation

3.35 30 20 25 4.40 35

Black can go to <36> changing 27 31

x 31
but can also maintain his attack in spite of the
weakness at <2>. This is the way Chizhov likes
to play. This opening generated many
interesting games in which white has to play
against blacks right wing attack.

If black doesnt want to play against the attack

via 44 39 followed by 30 24 x 24 he can
answer like Schwarzman played against
Prosman (2004):
7 11 17! 8.44 39 18 22 9.38 33

9 19 23 10.28 x 19 14 x 23
11.25 x 14 10 x 19

Prosman played 9.49 44 22 x 33 10.39 x 28

and never managed to get a sound attack.

Black can also play even more sharp: 10 1

6 11.37 31 and only then change 19 23.
Chizhov played this way several times.

A more quiet approach for white is:

3.31 26 7 12 4.28 x 17 12 x 21
5.37 31
With the intention to take back <27>. If white

plan to take <27>.

White can choose to play a classical game:

The best way to defend piece 24 against the
black rush is to keep piece 50 at its spot. After

27 x 9 8 13 9 x 18 12 x 45, so he must allow

variation. After 10.29
23 20 x 29 (black can

take otherwise too) 11.23 x 34 21 26

white
controls the centre but also a weak piece at
<41>. See the nice Gantwarg
Wirny
(1983)
game in the appendix.

Now 14 19 can be met by 32 27 19 x 30 27

x 9 8 13 9 x 18 12 x 34 37 32 stopping the
rush attack at whites right wing.
Changing 26 22 27 27.31 x 22 13 18
28.22 x 13 8 x 30 gives white control over the
centre.

10.38 33 10 14
Black can play the 13 18 9 13 22 27
scheme as an alternative.

3) 5.31 26
We have to consider two completely different
lines.

8.33 28 22 x 33 9.39 x 19 13 x 24
has no
point for white, since black builds the cannon
playing 10 14 9 13 5 10 14 19 10 14
(4 9).
After 5.34 29 23 x 34 6.40 x 29 black simply
takes a right wing attack with 22 27 x 27.

11.42 38
11.43 39 can also be played, but allows 22
27 12.31 x 22 13 19 13.24 x 13 9 x 38 14.48

Black can also choose 13

19 (Dibmanvariation) or the Clerc variation 21 27 7.31

27
7.28 x 19 14 x 23 8.31 27 with a right wing
lock for black.

Another plan is trying to block the Roozenburg

attack playing 9.38 32 11 16 10.41 37 21

27 11.32 x 21 16 x 27 12.37 31 10 14

Usually white is going to attack <27>

immediately playing 47 41 37 32.

Black can also play other kinds of systems like

3.38 32 18 22 4.43 38:

1.32 28 16 21

keeps the lock on the board deliberately to

18 9.37 31 21 27 10.32 x 21 16 x 27

many players choose 6 20 25. White can
now move either 7.29 23 or 7.40 34.

simplified the game playing 10.32 27 21 x 23

11.29 x 27 although he later won the game by
a shot.
Later 10.29 23 was played increasingly, with
the sharpest line being 10 21 27
11.32 x
21 16 x 27 12.36 31?! 27 x 36
13.38 32
After this pseudo sacrifice white is threatening
23 18 34 30 40 x 27 so black will have to
return the piece 25 30 14.34 x 25 leading to
a very complicated game.

8.42 38 can also be considered, because it is
more flexible although it doesnt stop 21 27 x

6.30 24 (6 44 39 25 x 34 7.39 x 30 15

White has all kind of alternatives here. World

can later launch a Highland-attack.

26.49 43 19 24 only 27.28

possible with 49 at <47>, as we saw, but now
whites distribution of pieces is better.

However black rather allows 39 33? as this is

worse than 38
33 which gives a better

distribution of pieces.

14.39 33 2 8 15.47 41
This move, an idea introduced by Harm
Wiersma, looks strange at first sight, because
it creates a dangling piece at <41>. The point

is however that black now cant play 12

17
due to 34 30 40 x 29 27 21 32 x 23, so he
must play 20 24 or 23 29 with a
complicated game, in which whites control
over the centre should compensate the
weakness at <41>.

is huge. I wrote a series of articles on this
opening in draughts magazine Hoofdlijn
(consisting of 37 articles in total!). You can also
find theory about this opening at the Luteijn
website. Frits Luteijn has played many games
in this system and is known to be a
connoisseur on the Keller-opening (and many
other openings).

these lines: 2.39 33 12 18 3.44 39 7 12

2 21 26 3.44 39 11 17 4.50 44
Black has now several possibilities. Lets
consider two of them:

3 10 14 4.50 45

1) 4 6 11 5.31 27 19 23
5 1 6? can be strongly met by 6.28 23 19

14 x 23 9.38 33 10 14 10.34 30.
White
will try to surround the black centre. White will
not play 33 28 but he will try to get control
over <29> later.
2) 4 7 11 5.31 27
If white doesnt want to play this line, he can
choose 5.33 29 20 24 6.29 x 20 15 x 24
7.38 33 10 15 8.42 38 etc.
6 17 22 7.28 x 17 11 x 31 8.36 x 27 19
23 9.35 30
White now cant successful y surround blacks
centre, because blacks left wing is too strong.
He would better try to get a Roozenburg attack
after 20 25 10.33 29 etc.

4.32 28 23 x 32 5.37 x 28 is a frequently

played alternative.

The solid 7.20 24 8.29 x 20 25 x 14 has been
played many times, but we follow a more
interesting line.

1.34 29 19 23 2.40 34
After 2.33 28 23 x 34 both 3.40 x 29 and 3.39

correct the distribution of pieces quickly again
by playing 38 33 42 38 47 42 etc.

3.32 28 6 11 4.37 32 19 23
5.28 x 19 14 x 23 6.41 37 10 14
If black wants to eliminate the 7.35 30 move
he can play 6 13 19, for example 7.46 41
10 14 8.45 40 5 10 9.32 28 23 x 32
10.37 x 28 16 21 11.31 26 19 23 12.28 x

Fork-lock-variation 2
1.34 29 20 25 2.40 34 14 20
3.45 40 10 14
Black can take the fork-lock at once, if he
wishes, playing 3 19 24.
Black has to choose between playing 10 14
and 9 14 & 3 9. 10 10 14 can be met
by 11.32 28 23 x 12.37 x 28 16 21 with an
interesting, modern game. The alternative is
11.44 40 14 20 12.50 45 20 24
Black cant take a centre attack playing 12
22 28? 13.33 x 22 17 x 28 because of the
shot 14.29 24! 20 x 29 15.30 24 29 x 20

25 W+1.
13.29 x 20 15 x 24 and white can simply play
14.34 29 23 x 34 15.40 x 20 25 x 14 16.31

4.32 28
From here there also often will emerge a forklock-position: 4 5 10 can be met by the 28
23 & 29 24 exchange, so more principal is
4 17 21 after which white could take a right
wing attack, by playing either 5.29 24 or
allow a chain-lock playing either 5.31 26 19
24 6.26 x 17 11 x 22 7.28 x 17 12 x 21 or 5.37
32 5 10 6.41 37 19 23 7.28 x 19 13 x

3.28 x 19 14 x 23 4.39 33
This is the modern continuation. White used to
play 4.38 33 with the same strategy. White
wants to get an initiative at the right wing. If
black occupies <24> white uses the power
block to put pressure. Further on in the game
white wants to control <29>. He wil not play
the 33 28 move in the early stages of the
game, but play at the right wing. Thats why
this game type is called semi-classics, white
wont make the game closed classical, but tries
to take <29> under control, surrounding the
black centre.
4.38 33 21 26.
A move like 4 13 19 would allow white to
free his big bel y at the left wing playing 5.37

gets more space for getting the right wing
under control.

22 27 5.32 x 21 16 x 27 6.31 x 22 18 x
27

7.41 37 13 18 or allow a fork lock after 4

1 6 5.32 27 19 23 6.33 29 23 x 34 7.40
x 29 with the so-called Ottink-variation. Instead
of the usual 7 13 19 black can play
sharper: 7 20 24 5.29 x 20 15 x 24 8.45
40 13 19 9.40 34 19 23 10.34 29 23 x
34 11.39 x 19 14 x 23 with an interesting game
with the fork-lock.

4 10 14 5.34 30

1.31 27 Polish opening

Important other continuations are 5.33 28

and 5.44 39.

This opening move gives black the opportunity

to play against whites left wing. White allows
this in order to get surrounding chances
against the black centre.

5.33 28 and now 3 possibilities:

1) 4 14 19 5.44 39 21 26
5 5 10? is punished by the Arc shot 27
22! 18 x 27 38 33 27 x 29 37 31 23 x 32 34
x 5. W+
White can try to trap the opponent playing 7.34
30 5 10? and perform the so-called coup
Raman: 8.30 24!! 20 x 29 (19 x 30 28 x 19 13
x 24 37 31 26 x 28 39 33 28 x 39 43 x 5
W+) 8.27 22 18 x 27 9.32 x 21 23 x 32
(otherwise 39 34 follows) 10.38 x 27 26 x 17
11.27 22 17 x 28 12.39 33 ad lib. 13.43 x 5
W+. But black can make an exchange playing
7 26 31 8.37 x 26 18 22 9.27 x 29 19

Black can play (from the last diagram) 7 21

26 8.38 33! White is creating the crucial 33
/ 39 formation making
13 19, which would
strengthen blacks left wing (13 19 8 13 2
8), unattractive because of 37 31! 26 x 28 33
x 24 20 x 29. Usual y the game continues
something like: 8 10 14 9.34 30 14 19
10.30 25 9 14 11.35 30 4 9 12.40 35
11 17 13.43 38 20 24 14.49 43 etc.

29 with a slight edge for black. Positional y

more correct is 7.36
31 because black cant

play at <17> white can play 41 36 at the next

move, always able to change after 11 17 with
27 21 developing his left wing and 12 17 is
usually prohibited because of the bomb
shot,
for example: 7.36 31 5 10 8.41 36 10
14 9.34 30 12 17? 10.30 24!
20 x 29
11.27 21 16 x 27 12.32 x 12 23 x 41 13.12 x
34 W+1.

5 14 19 6.30 25 21 26
After 6 20 24 white builds the power block
playing 44 39 40 34 34 30 45 40 50
45 49 34.

2) 5 13 19 In this case whites positional y

correct move is 6.36 31 (followed by 41 36)
but he can try to trap his opponent playing 6.44
39 8 13 7.34 30!? 20 24? 8.27 22! 18
x 27 9.38
33 27 x 29
10.39
34 23 x 32
11.34 x 23 19 x 28 12.30 x 26 winning
the
piece at <32>.

7.25 x 14 9 x 20
7 19 x 10 isnt bad, but white gets more
space at the right wing.
8.35 30 5 10 9.30 25 10 14

10.44 39 4 9 11.40 34 20 24

Black has to dodge a famous trap, that has

made countless victims already: the coup
Lochtenberg: 7 10 14? 8.27 22! 18 x 27
9.36 31 27 x 36 10.32 27 21 x 32 11.37 x

Black tries to get back the lost piece, at 17
15 20 there is a similar shot beginning with
29 24 & 19 14.

Black tries to get control over <24> but 15.40

35 can lead to a fierce fight, like in the
Hoogendoorn W. van der Kooij game in
which white managed to get control over <29>
later anyhow!
Left-wing-opening

White can play the simple 2.37 31 21

have overlooked the simple shot after 12 13

18? 13.28 22! 17 x 28 14.33 x 13 9 x 18
15.27 22 18 x 27 16.32 x 21 16 x 27 17.35
30 24 x 33 18.38 x 16 winning piece <27>.
Usually black plays 12 20 25.

26
3.32 28 26 x 37 4.41 x 32 developing his left
wing. 2.37

31 19 23 3.31 26 is also

possible, but quite boring after 20 24 26 x 17

11 x 31 36 x 27 24 29 33 x 24 23 28 32 x
23 18 x 20 =, but 3.41 37 21 26 4.33 28
11 17 5.28 x 19 14 x 23 6.27 21 16 x 27 31
x 11 6 x 17 isnt exciting either.

5.31 27 20 24
6.36 31 15 20
7.33 28 10 15

11.39 x 28 23 29 12.34 x 23 18 x 29

Playing 2.33 28 can lead to the same varition

as before, but if black plays 21 26 3.39 33

11 17 4.44 39 17 22 5.28 x 17 12 x 21
instead of 19 23 x 23, its harder for white to
get a good surrounding play, as we already
saw in the 1.33 28 17 21 Seagull opening.
6.33 28 7 12 7.50 44 1 7 8.38 33 7

If black changes 19 23 x 23 white frees his
left wing by 32 28 23 x 32 27 x 38.
9.43 38 19 23 10.28 x 19 14 x 23 11.33

14 14.32 28 23 x 32 15.27 x 38 20 24 white
trailing 8 temps, giving black the initiative.

13.27 21 16 x 27 14.31 x 22 6 11 leads to

an exciting game as in Valneris Chizhov
(2001). Of course there are many more
variations in this opening, but we showed one
of the most interesting ones.
When playing this opening with black, you
have to take care for the trap called the
Mountain shot after 1.31 26 19 23 2.37
31 14 19 3.33 29 (this move can also be
played later on) 10 14 4.41 37 5 10 5.46
41 20 25 6.39 33

The big leap

1.31 27 17 22
White can play many moves like 2.37 31 19
23 3.31 26 22 x 31 4.26 x 37 or 2.32 28
22 x 31 3.36 x 27. However, the most exciting
continuation is:
2.36 31 22 28
2 19 23 3.34 29 23 x 34 4.40 x 29 14
19 5.32 28 is very solid.

6 14 20? 7.26 21!! 17 x 26 8.32 28 23 x

32 9.37 x 28 26 x 46 10.29 23 18 x 29 11.34
x 5 and blacks king is caught or 7.26 21 16 x
27 8.32 x 21 17 x 26 9.33 28 23 x 32 10.37 x
28 26 x 46 11.29 23 18 x 29 12.34 x 5 with
the same result.
Black can play 6 15 20 7.44 39 10 15
8.50 44 4 10 9.32 28 23 x 32 10.37 x 28
19 23 11.28 x 19 13 x 24 with the fork-lock
position from 1.34 29 19 23.

3.32 x 23 19 x 28 4.33 x 22 16 21

5.27 x 16 18 x 36
White can also take 2.33 x 22 16- 21 3.27 x 16
18 x 36. In both cases the piece at <36>
promises an interesting fight.

This opening usual y transposes to 1.32

8.47 41 21 26 9.39 33 and black can opt

for either 9 17 22 or the continuation
Sijbrands chose against Cordier: 9 15 20
10.44 39 19 24 11.30 x 19 13 x 24 12.49
44 9 13 13.35 30 24 x 35 14.29 23 18 x
29 15.33 x 15 with an exciting game with the
edge piece at <15> (see appendix).

28
17 22 2.28 x 17 11 x 22 3.37 32. If white
plays 3.37 31 we arrive at the same position.

Of course black can play all moves, of

which
1.31 26 18 23 is a frequently played
one,
but we will not elaborate on this possibilities
here.

6.43 38
6.42 38? is punished by 19 24! 7.29 x 20
22 28 8.32 x 23 18 x 29 9.34 x 23 25 x 45
and piece 23 wil be shelled.

1.35 30 The wild horse

6 11 17 7.38 33 6 11

The sharpest of opening moves is 1.35 30. It

ois also the rarest opening move, but can lead
to exciting games!

White can now choose between 8.32 28 and

the immediate 8.30 24 19 x 30 9.35 x 24 both
leading to a quick right wing attack.

1.35 30 20 25 2.40 35
2.33 29 15 20 3.29 23 white taking
an
early centre attack is called the Agafonovopening.
2 15 20 3.45 40 20 24
3 17 22 is a good move too, after 4.32 28
20 24 etc. white plays with a locked right
wing, like in a Schwarzman Chizhov world
championship match.

Epilogue
Many openings can be studied much deeper. If
you want to do this it is very helpful to have the
games database called Turbo Dambase,
produced by Klaas Bor. This database
contains some 300,000 games.

5 17 22
5 10 15 6.50 45 5 10 7.42 38 16
21! is also a popular line.
8.31 26 isnt attractive now, because of 17
22 26 x 28 18 23 29 x 18 13 x 31 36 x 27 15
20 and white is getting locked. At 8.39 33

black plays 21 27 9.32 x 21 17 x 26.

White
can choose to play 8.38 33 21 27 9.31 x 22

18 x 38 10.43 x 32 or 10.33 x 42 like Georgiev

played against Schwarzman in 2003.
