Jorden van Foreest[edit]
- ... that Dutch Chess Champion Jorden van Foreest is the great-great grandson of Arnold van Foreest, who himself was a Dutch Chess Champion? Source: Reference 8: "17-year-old Van Foreest wins Dutch title"

Article is new, a good length, well-sourced, and I like the hook. I also think the hook could be tightened up. I'd remove the Wikilinks around "Dutch Chess Champion" since that's in the lede of the article and work on wording something a little catchier than "...who himself was..."
- Not sure what that is yet. If I sleep on it something may come to me. Morganfitzp (talk) 07:58, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for response. @Morganfitzp: How about these:
- ALT1: ... that Dutch Chess Champion Jorden van Foreest is the great-great grandson of Arnold van Foreest, a three-time Dutch Chess Champion?
- ALT2: ... that Dutch Chess Champion Jorden van Foreest is the great-great grandson of fellow Dutch Chess Champion Arnold van Foreest?

All these are fine. I'll let the closing editor pick their favorite. Morganfitzp (talk) 02:59, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
