Theo van der Storm is dead
He died on Tuesday. He got 49 years old only. Leiden has lost its brain for the many computerchess tournaments. May he rest in peace. Rolf

Re: Theo van der Storm is dead
My condolences to his friends and family. That is something of a shock. Theo was only two years older than me. We did not hear much about him and he was not at the last CSVN tournament I think, but I had no idea that things were going so fast for the worse. May he rest in peace and play many a game of chess, "EinStein würfelt nicht" or whatever game he wants with whoever runs the place up there. They will probably charter him for organizing annual tournaments. He will be missed at the CSVN!

Born in 1960, probably not yet 49 years, how sad. At my age, 61,Rolf wrote:He died on Tuesday. He got 49 years old only. Leiden has lost its brain for the many computerchess tournaments. May he rest in peace. Rolf
late 40's is a spring chicken.

Re: Theo van der Storm is dead
For those of you that read Dutch here is the email I received:
Beste mensen,
Theo is vanochtend vroeg overleden.
Ik stuur jullie alvast de digitale versie van de rouwkaart.
Ik zal waarschijnlijk mensen vergeten. Voel je vrij dit bericht door te sturen naar anderen die bij Theo betrokken waren.
Met vriendelijke groet,
Hans van der Storm
