van wely is the best Dutch player ever.
He murdered Short.
I think Max Euwe might dispute that ;).
Jan Timman of course.
This is an awesome event !!! What a great field of players.
Sadly wife is forcing me on family hoilday at beach with her and the kids , with no internet access 🙁
I tryed to explain that I should stay home to look after the cat ( and watch Corus … shhh..) , but it not working , I may need to divorce the wife. But I am deeply concern about this as I am unsure who would then do the washing and cooking.
The Life of a Chess Fan is so hard …
Go Magnus !!!
Take care, you can always replay the games afterwards. Chess ain’t like most other sports when you know the result it makes you loose interest. Enjoy your holidays.
