 * Symbol question.svg	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. 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?
