  OlimpBase: It might not be apparent for non-Dutch speakers that Lex=Alexander (it is a good habit to avoid diminutives in databases I believe)
Jun-21-12  achieve: Good columnist and engaging writer for Chess in the Telegraaf. I remember every weekend how my dad would set time apart to read and study his columns.
Dec-08-13  Karpova: Rest in Peace, Lex!
