| Sep-21-05 | | ughaibu: Oh well. I suppose we could always resort to reading the earlier posts just in case Krabbe himself happened to say where it was taken, but that wouldn't be much fun would it? |

| Sep-21-05 | | WMD: Tim Krabbe - Appel. |

| Feb-14-06 | | Bobak Zahmat: <Madjesoomalops> Hi Tim, you are really a great writer. The book called 'De Renner'was a fantastic book. I enjoyed when a read it for some years ago. Good luck, hopefully we'll see you around here. |

| Jul-21-07 | | Karpova: <It made me think of a story. A grandmaster once played a 10-board blind simul somewhere. Knowing the ropes of blind simuls, he varied his games right from the start, maybe opening two with 1.e4, two with 1.d4, one with 1.b3, and so on. To his suprise, all of his opponents played 1...b6. On the second move, five of them played 2...Bb7, and the other five 2...Ba6. On the third, three of the five players who had played 2...Bb7 now played 3...Bc8 and the other two played 3...Ba6, while three of the five who had played 2...Ba6 now played 3...Bb7, and the other two 3...Bc8. On move 4, the grandmaster saw bishops everywhere. After move 5, he excused himself and went to the toilet where he was happy to find a window big enough to let him through.>

"14 February 2009: I'm fine, but...
Several readers have expressed their concerns about my health, as I had not updated this Diary in over 4 months. In fact, I had only added one new item in the 4½ months before that. Thanks for worrying, but don't - my health is perhaps too good for this Diary, as I'm devoting more and more time to my other sport, cycling. And to my real work, writing fiction. This is not a final goodbye - there will be something new here sometime, but don't expect anything too soon." --> http://www.xs4all.nl/~timkr/chess2/ |

| Apr-13-09 | | WhiteRook48: Happy birthday!! |
|
| Apr-13-09 | | Dredge Rivers: No need to be Krabbe! :) |
|
| Apr-13-09 | | SamAtoms1980: Hey, happy birthday! Didn't know that you had the same birthday as Kasparov. It's striking that you invented the term "rambling Rook" and CG.com gives us a rambling Rook puzzle on your birthday. Somehow this doesn't seem like a coincidence.... :o) |

 | | sleepyirv: In my mind, Kasparov shares a birthday with Krabbe! |
|
| Aug-29-09 | | sneaky pete: Uncle pete's believe it or not:
Ernesto Ché Guevara is now adorned with an accent aigu, so there still is hope for players like Krabbé (and maybe even for Böök). |
|
| Apr-12-10 | | sneaky pete: Who should be tomorrow's Player of the Day?
A: Tim Krabbe B: Adolf Georg Olland C: Harry Weinstein

The only man who plays better chess and rides faster bicycle than me as well.
And then I didn't even mention his books. |

| Apr-13-11 | | bartonlaos: Happy Birthday to a fantastic writer, who puts the reader right into the action. Here's an excerpt from The Rider, pg.74: <"I come up out of the saddle, I shift and jump, Barthelemy on my wheel. I bite in the hard air, I rip down the left side of the road, I bridge the gap at a single tug. Now what to do with my velocity? I could always use it to make my brake blocks nice and toasty: little shavings will go flying off them, my bike another thousandth of a gram lighter."In a flash I size up the openings on both sides of the bunch. I choose the smallest one, give it a few extra pushes and hiss through. Maybe Barthelemy will have to hit his brakes. "Ho hey, ho hey," Reilhan shouts, but his voice isn't a lasso. I'm flying into open space. "I'm gone. Unbelievable, the rashness with which bicycle races are sometimes decided. For a while I see nothing and feel nothing either, I've been transofrmed into my own body."<>> http://www.amazon.com/Rider-Tim-Kra... |

<Tim Krabbe once played 1.Na3 in a club match against the Amsterdam police sports club. When his board 1 opponent unperturbedly replied 1...Nf6, Tim reconsidered his decision and directed the knight back home again: 2.Nb1 
click for larger viewWhen questioned by one of his teammates why he acted like this, he responded: "On second thoughts I did not like the position of the knight on the edge!"> :-) |
