This weekend Sanne was visiting us. For those who don’t know, Sanne and Marion are already since they went to school very close friends. And nowadays I am happy that I can also call her a very good friend of mine. Sanne and I share a passion together: Chess. Now several years ago Sanne asked…

A change to my weblog…
Something will change Until now the articles on my weblog were written by myself (and every now and then an entry written by Marion). This will change. I have given editor rights to Marissa and Sanne, so they can publish here articles here. On their own request they want me to review their articles before…
Bram Hijmans trail
In 2012 Marion and I made a bicycle ride into the dune-area and we discovered a wonderful small path leading us through the forests. This path was called the “Bram Hijmans-trail”. We had a very enjoyable time over then (see the article A nice bicycle trip… about that). I learned that Bram Hijmans was a…
A Game of Thrones… errrr…. Chess.
As I already have told before, I really love the chess game. I believe I also told here before that I have played chess for several years on competition level. For the last time I am playing chess with Sanne (a common friend of Marion and me). Sending each move by mail, text-message or Skype….
Life is there… to play chess
During Easter is Sanne, a very good friend of Marion and me, staying at my place. Sanne is always a welcome quest. She is fun to have around, good to talk with and always helpful. Already some time ago when Sanne was also here at my place, she noticed my old chess board standing beside…

Life is there to… see Haaksbergen again…
Although I was born in the city of Amsterdam, I spent the most of my live in a town called Haaksbergen. Haaksbergen is a town in the eastern part of the Netherlands. My parents moved from Amsterdam to Haaksbergen when I was very young (I was around one and a half years old). I have…
Life is there to… see Amsterdam again
Yesterday Marion and I planned to visit Amsterdam. Not with a specific goal, but just to enjoy the city again. When Sanne heard this, she told that she would love to come along with us. And as Sanne is good company, why not. We agreed that we would meet at the “Amsterdam Centraal” (the main…
Checkmate
Congratulations, Sanne! This was an awesome game of chess. More checkmate then this you could not get me :-). I really enjoyed this game. It was a balanced and challenging game. Until the very end it was not clear who was on the winning hand. And I think we both gave each other some very…
A game of Chess…
Yesterday, after the walk Sanne and I made on the beach of Zandvoort, back at my home, we chatted a bit. Poor Marion… she is of course often the subject of these conversations *winks*. For those that don’t know it, Marion and Sanne are long time friends. They know each from the time that they…
