Not sure if that was a request for a 1600x1200 version of this Machteld picture; but anyway, I created one. It is in my album 'Requests'.

Well, I didn't read the details yet, but I think I read (a quickly read, didn't check sources yet) that she finished 5th in the worldchampionships in her age group in Spain, beginning of this month. And she has been world nr.1 in her age group several months.

Machteld (or probably one of her parents) said on their website: "My ambition is to become World Chess Champion! Therefore I would like to participate to the European and World Chess Championships in 2017. To make it financially possible to participate to these events I'm looking for sponsors.". For information, please see http://www.vanforeest.com/machteld/spons ors.html.

Same pic, but with a sharpness filter. It could be better for the eye, but in theory it loses image information.

With unfortunately not so much sharpness. ~~~ There is a bug in imgsrc: if you upload a png (1024x768 plus original), it is converted to a jpg and the png is not available.

Machteld tells what an opponent is going to do when that opponent loses. And that is: crying. Lol...

If I see it correctly, she ended 16th (of around 140) in the "European Youth Chess Championship 2017 Open U10" (she had her 10th birthday in August): http://chess-results.com/tnr296073.aspx? lan=1&art=1&rd=9&turdet=YES&flag=30&wi=9 84 ~~~ So, she played in the Open tournament; not in the girls tournament.

Looks like the photographer is distracting Machteld here... ;) ~~~ Also, I think it looks like this could be a photo of an adult woman.
