I witness that Morten Holm made a right play on the position shown above in WSOB tournament in 2006 in London. I was really shocked and impressed by the idea and the fact that he saw and chose the play. He didn't even take a long thought.

After the match we made a rollout to confirm that his play was right by tiny margin. I said to him that if two plays were close then your play was clearly right over the board because your opponent could make a mistake after the hit. He and Sander Lylloff agreed to me.

Morten Holm may not be the best PR player back then but surely one of the most creative players in the world. The doubles played by Morten and Sander was considered best so I am proud of beating them in the doubles in "World vs Denmark" this year partnered with MCG. We won the match and PR by 0.1 - we played 1.5 they played 1.6. (and we were brave enough to bet on PR too)

I like the moment that I am stunned by the new idea and this is one of them. I remember this position because I was so excited and wrote a blog about the position. http://blog.goo.ne.jp/mochy3_8/e/549ddb9d663c0588763c7774c651d50b (Japanese only)
