Mar-11-12		Karpova: From Olimpiu G. Urcan's Past Pieces <An Unusual Clash>, 2011.10.11 Link: http://www.chesscafe.com/text/urcan... (also with a picture) <The first Batak of significant strength rising in the early 1910s was Si Narsar, a Karo Batak, the son of a village leader, and who lived north of Lake Toba, a large volcanic lake that today is the site of a popular resort.> [...] <According to a brief profile (that included a photograph of him as a young man) in the January 31, 1914 edition of the Het nieuws van den dag voor Nederlandsch-Indi�, Si Narsar was said to be about thirty years of age, had three wives, and lived in Brastagi, a mountain area in the northwest of Lake Toba.>

May-21-14		Stonehenge: Very good article, but it wasn't H D B Meijer but Herman Meyer: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/_jaa00319... H Meyer I first thought it was (Ir.) H. Meyer but I was wrong. Meijer/Meyer is a very common name in the Netherlands, so he was very hard to find. I've also uploaded a game by his twin brother Justus.
