Great stuff!
Have a good time over there Peter!

and will start in about two hours.
Go Peter!
Zet hem op Peter tegen Felix.
A fascinating interview with Kevin Spraggett, still our strongest GM. The Mediterranean climate obviously agrees with him. You have to cut him some slack on his pronounciation. Only the Dutch can say Scheveningen correctly!
I remember reading somewhere that during the war the Dutch underground used to catch German infiltrators by getting them to say “Scheveningen.”
What a total gentleman! It’s so nice to see a strong GM who isn’t a total ass. You just picked up a fan, Kevin. Good luck in future tournaments.
