Chess match

Hi everybody!

Chess is one of my favorite things to do. In Holland there is a large chess-scene with many strong players and the possibility of playing tournaments every weekend. Here in Iowa, there is less chess going on. Some tuesdays I visit the local Iowa City Hawkeye Chessclub. The club meets at a downtown pizzaplace. Good combination, chess and pizza. 

One of the players there is part of the Iowa Chess Board, and he asked me if I wanted to play a match against Pete Karagianis, one of the Iowa-chesscracks. He won the Iowa state championship two times and has about the same rating as I have, so it will probably be a close match. This match will be the main attraction of the 'Ames Fide Festival, isn't that an honour!
