(3) Stumpers participated in five Dutch Chess Championships, with his high-water mark a fourth place finish in 1948, (4) and represented his country at the 1st European Team Championship in Vienna in 1957 (two games, vs Josef Platt and Max Dorn). (5) From 1945 until about 1956, he was first Secretary and then Chairman of the NBSB. (3) Stumpers was a physicist, and worked for the Philips company as an assistant from 1928. During 1934-1937, he studied at the University of Utrecht, where he took the master's degree. (6) In 1938 Stumpers was again employed at Philips, (6) and at a tournament in 1942, he supplied the hungry chess players with food from his employer. (3) After the war, Stumpers made a career in physics, with patents and awards on information ("radio") technology. He received degrees from several universities and colleges, including in Poland and Japan. (1, 3, 6) Stumpers retired from Philips in 1972, but continued teaching, (6) partly as professor at the University of Utrecht (1977-1981). (7) He was also Vice President (1975-1981) and Honorary President (1990-2003) of URSI, the International Union of Radio Science. (8) Louis Stumpers married Mieke Driessen in 1954. They had five children, three girls and two boys.

ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 47 OF 277 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-18-08    Once: <ughaibu> You got it! Jun-18-08    ughaibu: The hints were helpful, "some other dude's wife". Jun-18-08    SetNoEscapeOn: Very nice Jun-18-08    Once: Okay, here's another from the same source. Apologies that it is quite long. I am one on my own, wounded by weapon of iron, wearied from the actions of the fray, exhausted from the edges of the blade. Often I see battle and fight the foe. ... Never have I been able to find in town the kind of physician that has healed with herbs my wounds; instead, the sword gashes on me grow bigger through mortal blows by day and by night. Jun-19-08    OhioChessFan: The crabgrass in my front yard? Jun-19-08    OhioChessFan: Or a coat of mail? Jun-20-08    Once: <ohf> Close enough with a coat of mail. The actual answer is a shield. I love these old riddles, although many of them are too adult for a public forum! Jun-20-08    Manic: Manic: Some more riddles (which, looking above, you probably won't find challenging): I am slim and tall Many find me desirable and appealing They touch me and I give a false good feeling Once I shine in splendor But only once and then no more For many I am "to die for" What am I? We are little creatures; all of us have different features One of us in glass is set One of us you'll find in jet Another you may see in tin And the fourth is boxed within If the fifth you should pursue It can never fly from you What are we? A little pool with two layers of wall around it One white and soft And the other dark and hard Amidst a light brown grassy lawn With an outline of green grass What am I? Jun-20-08    SetNoEscapeOn: #2, vowels Jun-20-08    SetNoEscapeOn: #1, Paris Hilton Jun-20-08    OhioChessFan: #1 ice cream cone Jun-20-08    Once: #1 Candle or match. #2 vowels #3 Egg in a nest. Jun-20-08    OhioChessFan: I'm missing what "to die for" meant for #1. Jun-20-08    SetNoEscapeOn: <OhioChessFan> Paris- the STDs Jun-20-08    OhioChessFan: ROTFLOLOL Jun-21-08    Once: <SetNoEscapeOn> Love it! The boring answer is probably that you light a candle to remember someone who has died ... But I much prefer your answer! Jun-21-08    ughaibu: Maybe it's about the third light, if the answer's a match. Jun-21-08    Manic: Well, the only one that has been correct is vowels and <SetNoEscapeOn's> alternative answer. Jun-21-08    Trigonometrist: *cough* What are you guys doing? Jun-21-08    OhioChessFan: I was considering a cigarette, which people would often say "I'd die for a smoke right now" Jun-21-08    OhioChessFan: <Trig> what better place for puzzles and riddles than a player page named Stumpers? Jun-21-08    Trigonometrist: <OhioChessFan> Okay then... Try me..:) Jun-21-08    Once: I am a wondrous creature: to women a thing of joyous expectancy, to close-lying companions serviceable. I harm no city dweller except my slayer alone. My stem is erect and tall - I stand up in bed - and whiskery somewhere down below. Sometimes a countryman's quite comely daughter will venture, bumptious girl, to get a grip on me. She assaults me red self and seizes my head and clenches me in a cramped place. She will soon feel the effect of her encounter with me, this curly haired woman who squeezes me. Her eye will be wet. Jun-21-08    OhioChessFan: Once! Thank you! I read that recently in a book, and the author said he was going to be mean enough not to give the answer. I've wondered ever since. Can't wait for the answer. Jun-21-08    OhioChessFan: The quadruplet (P, Q, R, S) of positive integers satisfies the relationship (P)(S) = (Q)(R) with the restriction P > Q > R > S Prove that (P-S)^2 is greater than/equal to (4)(S) + 8 Jump to page #    (enter # from 1 to 277) search thread:    ARCHIVED POSTS < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 47 OF 277 ·  Later Kibitzing>
