chess and choir: Victory!
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2005/06/victory.html
Friday, June 03, 2005. Tonight I've finished my 7 circles. 1680 problems in 83 days. Now I can sleep again on decent times, do something in the house, feed my pets and husband with home coocked meals, do some trout fishing, see the sun again, (is it still hanging there? Hang out with my choir friends and have a beer after singing, instead of running home to do my circles. I think I have family somewhere, I hope they did not forget me. I feel like a chess-junk, I do even dream of chess positions. King of ...

King of the Spill. One chess player's journey from? Wednesday, December 27, 2006. I am beginning to wonder about these problems. Although they highlight my weak areas, some of the themes are obscure. For instance, how many opportunities do beginning/intermediate players have to use a double sacrifice? That theme is a bit of a mind-bender. Posted at 8:09 PM. Click to see this post's 1 comment(s). We are starting to wonder about these issues. Runescape Gold. That will theme is a bit of your mind-bender.

chess and choir: People you meet at chess tournaments
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2005/05/people-you-meet-at-chess-tournaments.html
Thursday, May 26, 2005. People you meet at chess tournaments. What I like most at chess tournaments is to see such a diversion of people. People of all ages. My oldest opponent who beated me was 90, and the youngest was an 8 year old boy. Beware of such children! During the game they look totally uninterested, while drinking their lemonade, and when they move they never seem to think about it. You allways loose on time with them. And if you have won from them or not, after 1 game they remain friends.

Sunday, October 07, 2007. Who is Princess Errant. For the new ones in the Knights blogosphere, I became a chess player in 2000. To learn the rules etc. Tempo advised me to do Tasc, which I did. When we discovered La Maza method, we allso discovered The Knights,a bunch of fanatic patzers. My favourit opening is the Kings Gambit with white, and Islandic Scandinavian with black. I'm allways happy when my opponent coöperates to get those positions on the board. The absolute top for us is CORUS tournament....

chess and choir: February 2005
http://koorpret.blogspot.com/2005_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 20, 2005. Ladies in Chessland (part two). Sorry, I accidently deleted part 1). At my chessclub I'm the only woman. No problem, everybody behave as knights to me. After the games we drink a beer or four and play blitz, and conversations are all about how refined we beated our opponent. Fun. When we play with other clubs we have sometimes to go to villages where they live with medieval standards. Mother stays home knitting and father has his weekly chess evening amongst other man. In games...

Friday, November 30, 2007. For our friends who live at the other side of the ocean a little explanation:. Sinterklaas is an old bishop (350 year or so) who lives in Spain. He comes every year to Holland to celebrate his birthday on 5 December. From the day of his arrival (around 16e November children can set their shoes near the fireplace and the next morning they find presents in it. This is how Sint Nicolaas does his work. Every time a totally new situation, good or bad. Fun! Alas, after we did not hav...
