yes gerd. it was always very nice with jan.
he teased us germans :-))) thats ok. i don't like germans too that much.

but it was meant friendly. jan was really somebody who helped that
computerchess, especially the dutch computerchess, has a big influence today.

so many people could not have enjoyed computerchess without Jan Louwmann.

we all have to thank him for pushing this or that program, doing this or that.

no wonder dutch championships, dutch computerchess is so big and so many
