Apr-04-08 | | Alphastar: Those are the only games I could retrieve from the tournament.
(I scored 4 out of 9) |
|
May-18-08 | | yxcvbnm: and how did you get <CG> to upload your games? i thougt that it´s neccesary for qualifiing a game to be uploaded, that at least one of the involved players is 2200+ |
|
May-18-08 | | brankat: <Alphastar> Congratulations for having Your own player's page! Just like Dr.Lasker, Capablanca, Alekhine, Botvinnik, Tal, Fischer, Karpov, Kasparov :-) |
|
May-21-08 | | Alphastar: <yxcvbnm: i thougt that it´s neccesary for qualifiing a game to be uploaded, that at least one of the involved players is 2200+> I thought that too, but maybe I'll be 2200+ in a couple of years ;) thanks <brankat> :) |
|
Jun-20-08 | | Alphastar: I uploaded Y Visser vs J Weggen, 2008 , a (simul) game where I swindled a win from a GM :) |
|
Jul-22-08 | | Alphastar: I'll play in the same event (open dutch youth championship) this year as well. It starts in 2 weeks. Maybe I'll have a shot at the title though I'll have to be lucky. Greater chance than last year though :) |
|
Aug-11-08 | | Alphastar: Well, I hoped for a 5/9 score, but I had already achieved that after the 8th round, and in the last round I achieved a very nice win versus a 2283-rated kid, so I ended up with a 6/9 score to share 9th place with two others :)
Winner(s) of the tournament scored 7/9. I was never really close to the top boards except in the last round; most of the time I hung around in the subtop and in the middle of the pack. The last 5 rounds I scored 4 points out of 5 games though with a few nice high-rated wins. Strangely enough I scored 5 out of 5 games with the white pieces, even though most of my opening preparation was about my black openings. My TPR was 2109. |
|
Aug-11-08 | | Twocolors: Well done kid! Good win against Lars. |
|
Aug-11-08 | | hms123: <alphastar> Good job! It was fun to follow your progress in the tournament. Thanks for posting the official website in the
W Paulsen vs Anderssen, 1878 game. |
|
Aug-11-08 | | Alphastar: Thanks <Twocolors> and <hms123> The win against Lars was very nice indeed :) I've uploaded all my games via the PGN upload utility so they should be here in a week. |
|

Jan-05-10 | | paavoh: @alphastar: Are you related to Rick Weggen, I think I played him in the IECG email CC tournaments a few years back? |
|
Jan-05-10 | | Alphastar: <paavoh> Yes, he might be my dad |
|
Jan-05-10 | | paavoh: Alphastar, thanks for info - a small world indeed! Say hi to him for me, please! |
|
Jan-05-10 | | Alphastar: I will, but I don't know whether the name "paavoh" will mean anything to him! |
|
Jan-12-10 | | paavoh: Oh sorry, check out: Paavo Honkakoski My game against him not listed, though. |
|
Jul-24-10 | | Benzol: We need to have a bio here.
:) |
|
Aug-17-10 | | Alphastar: <Benzol> I agree - how do we do this? :P |
|
Apr-13-15
 | | Richard Taylor: Send CG.com your bio. Good win over the GM! |
|
Dec-25-17 | | waustad: Both of his wins so far in the Groningen
Chess Festival are against the Lubbes, both of whom are higher rated. http://chess-results.com/tnr317124.... |
|
Dec-31-17 | | Alphastar: I had a pretty good tournament! Especially a good start. Though the win against IM Lubbe was basically a swindle. Also missed a clear win in round 5 against IM Stefan Kuipers, he won instead and eventually got shared 3rd place. Ended with 4/9 but still a nice TPR of high 2200 because I faced a lot of strong opposition. And learned a lot from my games. |

Dec-31-17 | | zanzibar: Fav picture?
Maybe this one?

|
Dec-31-17 | | Alphastar: That isn't me. There are some pictures on the website of the tournament though: https://www.flickr.com/photos/harry... https://www.flickr.com/photos/harry... |
|
Jan-01-18 | | zanzibar: <Alphastar> a couple of good chessic poses. Any chance of getting one or the other over to <CG> for the profile? (I have a preference for the 2nd one, as it's a clearer portrait) |
