Dec-27-04 | | erasmus: Kuzubov has snatched at least a horse now. Kuzubov won for sure. |
|
Dec-28-04 | | percyblakeney: Quick draws in the top games of the seventh round, van der Wiel-Visser after ten moves. |
|
Dec-28-04 | | erasmus: He is living up to his reputation as a drawmaster, just like <PinkPanther> said. Drawing in just 10 moves...tsk tsk... |
|
Dec-29-04 | | erasmus: And another quick draw for John today in the 8th round. This time after 14 moves. |
|
Dec-30-04 | | percyblakeney: All the top board games of the last round have finished with draws, van der Wiel's game is the only one left, but it also looks drawish. |
|
Dec-30-04 | | percyblakeney: Yep, now it's drawn there as well, which means that van der Wiel, Kuzubov, Nijboer and Visser all finished with 6/9. |

Jun-29-07 | | bystander: John van der Wiel played a fine Dutch championship 2007. Although all his games were draws (11 in a row, exceeding Andersson and Ribli in the Bazna Kings tournement 2007 with 10 draws each) some of his games were very interesting. |

Aug-09-09 | | wordfunph: Corus Tournament: Ivanchuk closely (and calmly) observed two patzers playing. So the game proceeded and Ivanchuk didn't say anything until they made a really obvious blunder which he pointed out to them. But these two guys became mad at Ivanchuk whom they were not able to distinguish! The shy Ivanchuk went on following the game silently. When John Van der Wiel walked by and one of the patzers said enthusiastically: "Look, there's the strong GM John Van der Wiel!!" Happy Birthday GM John Van der Wiel! |

Dec-20-11 | | acmilan03c1: Does anybody have any idea what the T.H. in his name stand for? I've searched everywhere on the web and I just can't seem to find any kind of a clue... |
|
Dec-20-11 | | AlphaMale: According to Gaige's <Chess Personalia>, John's middle initial is <C>. Don't ask me what it stands for. |
|
Dec-20-11 | | acmilan03c1: Thanks! Still not finding any potential middle names on the internet for the "C" initial either, though. Anybody have any other leads?
I know it's kind of a specific issue so it doesn't seem very important (and it probably isn't), but it's just driving me nuts! I mean it's such a well known player - how can it be that it's impossible to find out what his middle name is? Online, at least... It's never happened to me with any other well known players and I've researched quite a few. |

It that beyond the Pleasure Principle? |
|
Jul-15-12 | | achieve: Van der Wiel's middle name may be Cornelis - Johannes Cornelis For those interested in the "Van der Wiel" pronunciation: I submitted the correct one to CG and you can hear it by clicking the "PRONUNCIATION" button located at the top of the Bio section. |

 | | offramp: Sensors indicate that he is 55 years old today. Happy birthday to a superb player! May your gezelligheid always be gezellig. One of my favourite J C v.d. Wiel games (although it's a draw) is Van der Wiel vs Karpov, 1987. |
