Jan-28-17 | | Whitehat1963: I've never thought he belongs in elite-level tournaments, but he gets a lot of invites and rarely holds his own. |

Jan-28-17 | | john barleycorn: < Whitehat1963: I've never thought he belongs in elite-level tournaments, but he gets a lot of invites and rarely holds his own.> yes, but up to now he is able to hold his water. And being Dutch has seemingly an advantage nobody is aware off. |
|
Jan-28-17 | | sonia91: <he gets a lot of invites> Only in Wijk aa Zee actually, as he is the top rated Dutch-born player, I suppose. |

 | | Richard Taylor: Loek is almost the same age as my son. Happy birthday Loek, if he's there of course, but it is a 'courtesy' we do... He is strong enough for me, so I'm not going to quibble about how well he does against whoever is the current wonder person...He's done brilliantly in chess. He put a flea in Short's ear... So: Happy Birhday! |

Oct-26-23 | | fabelhaft: <Wonder what Loek does for his bills these days> He is a right wing politician nowadays, how far right seems to be debatable. According to a Redditor: <The Dutch grandmaster Loek van Wely is a fascist. He will actually be a senator for a far-right party in a few weeks> https://www.reddit.com/r/chess/comm... while according to Wikipedia:
<In March 2019, he was elected to the Dutch Senate for the right-wing Forum for Democracy; however, on 8 December 2020 he switched his party allegiance to the van Pareren group, which is now affiliated with the right-wing JA21 party> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loek_... |
