Met him at the WCCC in Paris in 1997. I was surprised that the man who founded what was probably the biggest computer chess company in the world at that time took a detailed interest in my views about things.

Re: Let's praise Frederic Friedel.
The following video is my personal favourite of all the Friedel contributions:

.
Frederic's enthusiasm playing with the kids is heart-warming IMO.
