Family van Riemsdijk (Brasil)

In a report on a big chess tournament in Brasil

I saw a photo of the referees: two of them are

"Riemsdijks".

Look almost at the end.

Does "our" Felipe Herman van Riemsdijk belong to the

same family?

Sure, Felipe is the brother of Marius on the left. But Marius is also playing here (I often match him at Breakthrough). Source: MRFvR(#10193) profile page.

"The event could never have flowed without the diligent work of the arbiters Marius van

Riemsdijk, Blas Pingas, and Chief Arbiter Herman Claudius van Riemsdijk."

Congrats Marius!

Nice one, guys!

My family is nice too:

erratic family

If you scroll down there is a picture of Britney Spears and Martin Sheen who --I had no idea-- are my remote cousins.

:)

LG its a very interesting places, there are quite a few very interesting familys being represented here, I don't know much since I am not as active as Marius on the foruns, but he is a better source about this kind of info
