Oct-11-06    aktajha: One of the Dinosaurs of Dutch chess; and still going strong with VAS Mar-07-07    BIDMONFA: Kick Langeweg LANGEWEG, Kick http://www.bidmonfa.com/langeweg_ki... _ Mar-07-07    Benzol: I get a Kick out of you. Mar-07-07    hitman84: <Benzol>Yes because he speaks Kick Langeweg. Mar-07-07    sandmanbrig: Possibly one of the coolest names ever. Mar-07-07    ALEXIN: Sorry, but very defensive player ! Oct-11-07    Erdkunde: He must be a good football player...<Lange weg> would seem to me to mean "long way" in German; hence "kick long way". Mar-07-08    brankat: Yes, 'ole Kick is still kicking. Happy Birthday! Mar-07-08    hitman84: He looks like Robert Redford. Mar-07-08    achieve: <hitman84: He looks like Robert Redford.> Very well spotted! I only saw it AFTER you made that observation. Mar-07-08    hitman84: <achieve>There is also a guy who looks like Bruce Campbell. Mar-07-08    achieve: <hitman> Really? A chessplayer? Which one? (I couldn't come up with one after some "thought") Mar-07-08    hitman84: <achieve>Try the search function. I forgot his name. His name is very Dutch and scary :) Mar-07-08    achieve: LOL Found him! Manuel Bosboom is the perpetrator! VERY oh so scary pic btw ;-) Oct-05-08    sneaky pete: Lucebert: Langeweg dit is een oude benauwde wereld tot in mijn keel genageld zit ik onwrikbaar in de machine de machine die mij meemaakt als katten in muizen schrikken springend mijn ogen maar de ruimte houdt mij in haar hol ik ben als een boom in een berg ... alleen een stippellijn stippellijn stippellijn is kind Apr-11-09    schroedingers cat: very interresting name that he has :) Mar-07-10    Sourav: Happy Birthday Kick! Keep kicking (but please don't kick your opponents!!). Mar-07-10    TheaN: <Erdkunde: He must be a good football player...<Lange weg> would seem to me to mean "long way" in German; hence "kick long way".> In fact it means exactly the same in Dutch so in truth you can see the name like this... weird then though :). I've never seen this guy before, when I'll have more time I'll check some of his games. Nov-26-11    wordfunph: from NIC's Yearbook 100 Anniversary issue, IM Kick Langeweg won the distinction as the most prolific writer ever with 160 contributions. Mar-07-12    wordfunph: scary to play against Kick :( happy birthday IM Langeweg! Mar-07-13    Abdel Irada: I can only imagine what this player's high school experience must have been like, particularly if someone took his name as a request. However, he appears to have survived and come out with flying colors, so congratulations are in order. I wish him a happy birthday and many happy returns. Mar-07-13    FSR: Can't accuse this guy of not losing enough miniatures: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/ches... Mar-07-13    goodevans: <FSR> But at least he had the dubious distinction of losing his short games to some very great players. Some big names in that list.
