| Sep-01-05 | | WMD: Another comment disappears down the memory hole. You wanna try living in Holland [sic], then you'll see what I mean. |
|
| Sep-01-05 | | RookFile: Interesting guy. He'll lose to Stefanova one day, and beat Kasparov on another. |
|

|
| Apr-12-06 | | dakgootje: Ah cmon guys thats just one of the better pics here around, okay if you only look at how the pic is shot, not of who it is made as then of course the top-10 will be dominated by female players. I mean, its something differant then some old guy waiting patiently behind the chessboard =) <I would just shout out BOSBOOM!> took me some second reading before i realised what you meant...always hard if you dont immediately understand how differant words and names are pronounced throughout the world =) |

http://www.chessbase.com/news/2009/... <Thus far, however, most attention has been grabbed by the second-lowest rated player in the event, Dutch IM Manuel Bosboom. Those readers who have followed my reports from the Hastings tournament over recent years will know that we have a "Mr Entertainment" in English chess, name of Simon Williams. Win, lose or draw, Simon's games are hardly ever dull. Manuel Bosboom is certainly Holland's answer to Simon, a restlessly creative and endlessly enterprising player, whose games are always great value. Within The Netherlands, he is most well-known as a blitz specialist, and back on 1999, when Garry Kasparov was ruling the Wijk aan Zee roost, Manuel was even allowed into the rest day blitz event, in which all the A Group players participated. Kasparov dominated that event too, but his sole defeat was against Bosboom! This year in Wijk aan Zee, Manuel has led from day one, when he used his trademark creativity to defeat David Howell with he black pieces.> |

| May-22-23 | | whiteshark: “There aren't many chess players who can say they've both beaten Garry Kasparov in an official blitz game (Kasparov vs M Bosboom, 1999) and crushed Peter Leko in a classical game in 26 moves (M Bosboom vs Leko, 2014). And who regularly win blitz tournaments high on marihuana. But then Manuel Bosboom is not an ordinary chess player. The Dutch International Master never made it to the top in chess, but over the course of his swashbuckling career he has produced an astonishing amount of brilliantly creative games. When Manuel Bosboom enters the room, a smile appears on every chess player's face. Not only is he an exuberantly colourful player, he also leads an unconventional existence. His enthusiasm for the game and zest for life are highly contagious.This book offers a captivating collection of games and it also describes the adventurous life of the Wizard from Zaanstad, who grew up and still lives in a picturesque shed next to a 17th century windmill on the famous Zaanse Schans. You will be treated to many a stunning chess move, a wealth of hilarious but also touching stories and a vivid impression of the Dutch chess scene in the late 20th and early 21st century. <Chess Buccaneer: The Life and Games of Manuel Bosboom> --> https://www.newinchess.com/chess-bu... |
