1. make a plan, 2. keep presure, 3. HAVE FUN! ..

(about my profilepic. It's me and a very young and strong GM Judith Polgar. World Trade Centre Y2k Chess Tournament - Rotterdam year 2000, my best time in chess ....)

I quit playing 12 years ago, make a new start 2 years ago here on chess.com (great site, making lots of new friends here!) and on 2 local chessclubs (Rotterdam RSB - Barendrecht KNSB), playing First Division board 8

For me The Holy Grail in Chess: "Judgment and Planning" - Max Euwe 1952.

My favorite openings, with white: the Bird's (Dutch Attack), Sokolsky (Bugayev Attack), van Geet .. with black: the Budapester Gambit, Alekhine, Nimzowitsch Defense.

My favorite players: 1 Bent Larsen, 2 Bobby Fischer, 3 Richard Rapport, 4 Mikhail Tal, 5 Hikaru Nakamura

hmm another thing about me and my chess: "I never never moved my e pawn (myself) on the first move, not with white and not with black, not in homegames, clubgames, leaguegames, onlinegames.. not in 30 years of chess! ..

** please don't look on my ratings, look on my game's, I do the same with you ...

(Love chess, play fair! ..

I prefer black .. see you on the board ;)...
