Finished Team Tal: An Inside Story. Some interesting stories, but not really a page turner (took me more than two weeks to read the 157 pages).

Applying Logic in Chess by Erik Kislik. Lots of interesting thoughts about training and improvement, but strangely enough there is little logic in the structure of the book and in the chapters. While reading I was often surprised at another new topic without introduction.

Zinloos, begrijp ik, maar toch: #hongkongstaystrong

TJV deed een sterk staaltje in de vierde etappe naar Calais. Had Van Aert in een andere ploeg die etappe ook gewonnen? #renaatenjose

A sad day for chess. #FIDEelection

Eerder op Opiniestukken.nl (28 juli): "Iedereen zou moeten weten wat voor ellende ballonnen in de natuur aanrichten." opiniestukken.nl/opiniestukken/…

Trying to popularize a chess variation called "Hands and brains". Two against two, 1 board. More fun than normal doubles chess!

Hands and brains has one rule: one player of a team (brains) announces a piece. The other players (hands) plays a move with that piece.

@Someitsi Good to hear :)

@EddieForster Inderdaad, in Curacao geen gezeur om andersgekleurde Pieten: nu.nl/binnenland/363…

Finally finished Axel Smith's Pump up your rating. Lots of good advice about #chess improvement, highly recommended.

Simon Williams - Killer Dutch: no games of me included, so I can't recommend this book :)

Don't drink and chess.

Vandaag (en nog vier dagen) zal ik een liveblog bij houden op de homepage van het #nkschaken ! nkschaken.nl

In Bilbao Anish Giri had the bishop pair in his first four games. Now he has it five games in a row! #LondonChess

@nigelshortchess There is an easy solution: all males involved (organisers, fide officials) should also wear a hijab.
