Sep-02-19  PhilFeeley: Nice bio here:

https://en.chessbase.com/post/danie...

May-08-20  wordfunph: <Daniel has, just like Magnus Carlsen, an exceptional memory. He does not only remember his own games but also the other games and players he watches during tournaments. When he was 11, he was approached by another chess player who told him: 'We played together in a tournament two years ago, but probably you do not remember me.' Daniel told him: 'Yes, I do remember you, you are X. Two years ago, you played four tables down from me at the tournament in Brasschaat. You played with the Black pieces against Y and achieved a winning position, but unfortunately lost the game after you blundered your bishop on b4!'>
