Last night’s “Dutch voters reject Wilders!” storyline has been broken.

From Sunday's long run through the Amsterdamse Bos. It was chilly (-2 Celsius) but calm and bright. Awesome for running.

Wow, Gukehs is the new chess world champion!
He showed remarkable fighting spirit and ambition.
Admirable attitude, he spent the whole tournament trying to win against an opponent who was always going for draws. He was always trying something different and risked everything to get the win.
