July 18, 2005FortKnox has made his very last moveSjaak Coenraads (FortKnox) has died on July 8th. If you ever met him here, you know that he has been one of the most pleasant players. We will miss him. I had the pleasure to meet him in our HCL Swiss tournament. He found a novelty in Move 4 of the Grob opening - he defeated me easily.
This is the novelty. I have not found any example for this move in several databases, nor did I find a satisfying continuation. You can find the complete game here:

Sjaak will leave some intresting chess games behind. One of them is his daring victory in the English Opening over me. I wish somebody could produce small pamphlet of his strongest games for the family.

Toch ben ik Sjaak al drie keer tegengekomen in een mooie, steeds spannende partij. Hij was een prettige, originele speler. Ik zal je missen Sjaak!

Posted by: Ria Gerritsen at July 19, 2005 12:30 AMAuch ich bin sehr betroffen über den Tod von FortKnox. Er war wirklich ein sehr netter Partner. Ich möchte seiner Familie mein Beileid ausdrücken. I condole with his family. Posted by: sonny at July 19, 2005 10:17 AMMy pleasure on winning a game past quickly on learning the reason. Best wishes to his friends and family at this sad time. Posted by: xanderkirv at July 19, 2005 07:15 PMI´m sorry to hear this. We were just playing our first game and I was wondering why he didn´t make a move anymore. To win in this fashion a quite fascinating game makes me feel sad. I would also agree with Josef Riha to not count the games he lost on time. You lost almost 500 PCR (PlayChess Rating) points - from about 2039 to 1547. I don't know if there's Chess in Heaven. It was a real pleasure to meet you and to play with you.
Very sad to here of his death. I played him a few times in thematics. Skilled player and always a gentleman to play. Deep sympathy to his family. You will be missed Posted by: Dai Wynne-Jones (Idris) at July 20, 2005 07:37 AMMy deepest sympathy to his loved ones, I am sad to hear that FortKnox has passed on. I enjoyed playing chess with him, he always played a tough game, that kept me on my toes, I am going to miss playing him, and also I want to put my vote in to keep his rating same as the day he died! Posted by: knightwiz(Jack) at July 24, 2005 03:16 AMIt's sad to see a great player and a true chess gentleman depart. I'm very sorry to hear of FortKnox's death, we were the same age so it touchs me very closely. He was one of very few players to have a plus balance in our games, one always felt even in ACL games a real intellect behind his moves. Posted by: anthony mee at July 24, 2005 02:58 PMMaybe he had played one of his last games against me...I am very sorry to hear that he is dead. My deepest sympathy to his loved ones...goodbye to a strong player and a real nice man. Badkarma A brave fighter and a nice gentleman. I am very sorry for this loss. I offer my condolences to the Amhem's people he left behind. Posted by: Airamand at July 30, 2005 09:51 AMMy deepest condolences to Sjaak's loved ones. I played him several times on this site, and he was a tough opponent and a gentleman. Posted by: Alex Shternshain at August 26, 2005 08:18 PM |
