Jan-26-08  nescio: No surprise that Chandler wins, although I didn't know he had returned. I _am_ surprised that Van Riemsdijk participated. I thought he was living in Braxil.
Jan-26-08  Benzol: Good to see this is up. Thankyou <chessgames>
Jan-26-08  Benzol: <nescio> I think that Herman has been to participate in NZ on at least three ocassions. He has a brother who lives in New Plymouth in the lower North Island. I played him in a simul the last time he was here. He struck me as a very friendly personality.

  Richard Taylor: Hermann all but won the Australian Champs. He gave us an interesting lecture using Fischer's games as an e.g.

He met Fischer when he was young.

Feb-10-08  Caissanist: Van Riemsdijk says on his web page (in Portuguese) that he "participated as invitee". http://www.hiperchess.com.br/
Feb-10-08  hitman84: Do the Aussies play in NZ championships ?
Feb-10-08  Benzol: <hitman84> Yes see Tim Reilly
Jul-20-08  Benzol: There have been some duplicates loaded into the database of some of these games.
