In expectation of the General Meeting in Amsterdam: From the club seat to the Max Euwe-Centrum in pictures
-
Starting point Johannes Vermeerstraat; No. 37 – the house of Jurgen Stigter – is known to be the seat of the Ken Whyld Association. -
The Rijksmuseum from the rear, only a few minutes to go from the club seat. -
Passing the Rijksmuseum (sideways). -
René van der Heijden, Bernd Schneider and Jurgen Stigter at the edge of a "stretch of water". -
Bernd Schneider and Jurgen Stigter are on the right way (namely to the MEC). -
The Hotel Smits, for several members the accommodation of their choice during the meeting in the middle of September. -
View from the Hein Donner-Bridge (named after the Dutch GM). It’s not far away from the MEC now. -
The Max Euwe-Centrum comes into sight! -
Back view of the MEC. -
Peter de Jong, Jurgen Stigter and Michael Negele on the otherwise empty Max Euweplein. -
The Max Euweplein full of people – chess must be a crowd puller in Holland! -
Bernd Schneider, Jurgen Stigter and Peter de Jong posing at the entrance to the MEC. Below you see the nameplate beside the door. -
-
To reach the innermost of the MEC you have to pass several doors, this is the first one ... By means of a lift you may effortlessly move upward to the 1st floor. -
The sign in the first floor confirms that (inter alia) the MEC resides here. -
Jurgen Stigter and Bernd Schneider arrive at the second door. Both look rather relaxed now. -
Behind the third door the way is clear to the "inner sanctum".
