I vote for free usage and re-use of all pics which are already on the internet. Except if pics are used to insult persons, and other blatant misuse.

For Machteld being able to participate at (europe and) world tournaments in 2017, the family asks for sponsors or donations: http://www.vanforeest.com/machteld/spons ors.html. Of course we all wish she can participate, don't we? :)

Some people vote down images if you do a minor change (like not adding a picture) on an album. How puny can someone be... I can't do mulitple (including minor) changes and _then_ submit or submit later; that's not how imgsrc works. If you've seen my albums before and don't like them, then just don't open them again!

I'm just a middling pawn-pusher and I would love to play her. To be beaten by someone so young and talented would be an honor!

This cute girl (Machteld van Foreest) probably will beat you with chess if you don't have an ELO rating of at least 1850. Currently (july 2018) she has already a FIDE rating of 2141. So, technically, she is a "Women's' FIDE Master" (rating minimum 2100) already at age 10! Or WFM. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FIDE_title s#Woman_FIDE_Master_(WFM).) But I think the title has to be 'awarded' manually. Magnus Carlsen did get 2141 rating at age of 11 (but then his rating went up extremely fast). A future competitor for tournaments could be Divya Deshmukh.

On one of the online chess blogs, someone said she has 'een snoeperig gezichtje'. Rough translation: 'a candy-like little face'.

To enjoy the beauty of Machteld as your wallpaper, you could install Fences: www.oldversion.com/windows/fences-1-0-1. You probably then want a mouse with a little-force middle button, and set that button to doubleclick to make your desktop icons disappear and reappear with Fences. Of course, you could also remove a row of faces. Maybe I create one with some white space later.

Another great performance: at a simultaneous exhibition, she tied against Hans BΓΆhm who's highest rating was 2445. Currently Machteld has rating 1661. Maybe because she was the strongest female youth player around, she got to play with a special chess set which was uniquely created for a movie. Or maybe just because everybody likes Machteld ;). The other kids had to play with normal pieces.

If you do a β¬300 donation to help her career (traveling to the chess tournaments is expensive), she will come to you to play chess. At least, if you're in Nederland ;). And the idea is simultaneous exhibition; but I'm sure you can ask some friends to be there too ;).

Playing a quick game (5 minutes each) with dad. Machteld is 6 years old, when this picture was taken. I think he could still beat her then; but not anymore. Her dad is not an active player; and Machteld already has a FIDE rating of 2141 at 10 years old.
