VANDAAG JARIG
Jan Timman 73 jaar

Zijn ouders waren wiskundigen
Niet zo gek dat hij ging schaken
Daarmee haalde hij de wereldtop
En wist de sport populairder te maken#timman #schaker #grootmeester #auteur #anand #karpov #maxeuwe #heindonner #fischer #spasski pic.twitter.com/ZfNMO23zzO

It’s White’s move. Black’s pawns are very threatening. Is there a way out? pic.twitter.com/sgUKxW3wbB

Many Happy Returns to @GMJanTimman, who is 74 today. He was at the very top when I was actively playing & studying the game, & I am sure I speak for many fans when I say how happy I am that he continues to give so much to chess in the form of his writing & his endgame studies. ???? pic.twitter.com/ozqJopUkGH
