| Ter Apel (1987) |
|
"In the vicinity of the Klooster, in the party room of hotel Het Boschhuis that had been transformed into a chess hall, the interest in the top chess players was minimal. Among the fourteen spectators were: a West German couple, a lost schoolboy with his brother and girlfriend, an elderly couple from Ter Apel, a journalist, a chess fanatic from the city of Groningen (regular visitor to the Gasunie youth chess tournament) and a statistician, who noted down all the moves on a piece of paper. At a quarter past four two more visitors arrived, but by then it was all over. What they missed: the terrible time-trouble of Smejkal, the calm draw of Ree and Lobron, a beautiful king attack by Miles and a sleepy Ligterink, who lost again."
