Style
Raymond Keene described Timman's playing style as that of "a fighter, in the mould of Emanuel Lasker".
He has always adopted a wide and varied opening repertoire, playing an array of different systems as both White and Black. When he first reached the world class level in the 1970s, this was relatively unusual, with most elite grandmasters deploying a more narrowly focused range of openings, but it is now the norm.
