Occupation: Teacher at Polytechnic Institute, Chemical Engineering
I have been playing OTB chess in a large Amsterdam chess club since about 30 years, most of the time at the top level. I never participated in any tournaments like municipal championships or open tournaments due to a severe lack of time. Within ICCF I have played in many theme tournaments since about 20 years, with a more than satisfactory result. This brought me a deeper understanding of many openings from the viewpoint of both the white and black pieces. Some of them are well-known gambits, some are not but often can be turned into a gambit with phantasy and imagination. Last two years I started to play in other CC tournaments as well, such as the ICCF Champions League or the IECG Cup.

I've been playing CC since 1960, and results of late have not been "GOOD". No titles or title norms have been achieved thus far, however several "abnorms" have been won, most notably in the recent 13th US CC Championship Finals. I have in the past been accused of having the title of "Official Court Jester at TCCMB". The only title I can truly claim is that of Grand OYA of The Gambiteers Guild, a title I usurped by devious means.
