| dx9293: This is funny...I just posted a Happy Birthday on Bologan's page and praised his book, so I'll do the same here: Happy Birthday, Jan! Your "Power Chess with Pieces" is outstanding, and I'm currently working through that book, too! |

| waustad: If anybody is watching the Chess Coal tourney, the Timman - Muzychuk game is interesting. She played the Dutch against him. He's now up a pawn with a well posted knight and she has a lot of space.

| Caissanist: Thanks for that, you're right it is interesting. Timman's position looks horrible but I don't see any way for Muzychuk to convert her space advantage. Pehaps Muzychuk doesn't either, she's taking an awful long time for her 23rd move. |

|
| Caissanist: Muzychuk decided to trade queens so she could get her pawn back, endgame looks drawish now. |

| waustad: Timman managed the win in a KPP v KP endgame. |

| HeMateMe: i love the description that one chess author had of him, calling him "The Dutch Hipppie". Did he live in Amsterdam, live the Bob Marley lifestyle? Anyone know of timman's earlier days, before he became a respected elder statesman? |

| HeMateMe: Those guys were probably all terrific at currency arbitrage, back when every country in Europe had its own pretty paper, unique designs, before he Euro. Win some Lira, swap them real quick for pounds, before the latest Lira devaluation takes place, then head for the bank and buy Marks, before any bad news from England hits the financial markets. Along the way, I bet they had a chance to smoke a little "mother nature", as Roger Daltry describe it. |

| Stonehenge: (reposted because of little mistake)
I think he toured Europe in an old minivan, together with Hans Bohm, in the good old days. Playing tournaments where nobody knew who they where. Cashing in and leaving for the next tournament :) |

| Jim Bartle: "Playing tournaments where nobody knew who they where." That makes some sort of sense as well. |

Aaaaargh! |

| MaxxLange: I really love this idea of Timman hitting the road in a van, in the early '70's, to play chess at GM level, rolling the van through mother ature between tourneys. Rock ad roll. Vans are coming back, mark my words. Not minivans, either. CUSTOM VANS. It's time. Young people's economic future is unclear, and they are going to be more willing to go on the road in some electric hybrid 21st Century Econoline. |

| elohah: Could not locate the game where
Timman denied Hans Bohm his GM title.
Don't know if Bohm needed only a draw
for that game. |
