Remembering Korchnoi.

Shout out to Viktor Korchnoi who would have turned 94 today and which is considered to be the strongest player never becoming world champion (although he is the only player to have won or drawn—in individual game(s)—against every reigning World Chess Champion.

Still have fond memories of when I played my strongest opponent in a #simul in #Ostend, #Belgium in 2004. Needless to say, I lost gracefully. That day, already well into his seventies, he didn’t loose one game (IIRC 38 - 2 - 0!)

The Black Tower.

Built in the early 13th century, this tower is the only remaining part of the original first wall around Brussels. By the 15th century, it became private property (due to the building of the second fortification, it had long lost its purpose) and is one of the reasons it survived for so long.

In 1937, it became the first protected building in the city. It is notable for being a single medieval tower surrounded by modern-day buildings and thus has become a popular tourist destination.

The Five Continents.

So, this is not some sort of AI generated photo, but it is a real existing building.

If you are ever in the city of Antwerp, be sure not to miss ‘The Five Continents’ an Art-Deco building colloquially known as ‘the boat house’ or ‘the little boat’ for it’s facade which has a balcony in the form of a ship.

Built in 1901 to the plans of architect Frans Smet-Verhas and commissioned by the boat builder Petrus Roeis, it was sold 2 years ago for funny money (a 2 and 6 zero’s) to a lawyer firm.

Wooden house.

Don’t be fooled. This is NOT the oldest house in #Antwerp. However, it is the oldest house in Antwerp with a wooden facade. Dating from 1546 it has survived 6 wars although sadly, due to a restoration in the ‘70s the facade has had a transformation and isn’t original anymore.

The Enchanted Forest.

“The Enchanted Forest” is an impressive #mural in #Halle. It is located on the wall of the cardboard factory Pacapime along the Brussels-Charleroi canal.

With an area of no less than 2000 square meters, it is one of the largest murals in Europe.

The #artwork was created by the #artist collective #Treepack and tells the story of several children who dream of a #future where people and nature live again in harmony and decide to make origami animals from paper they find in an enchanted forest. To their surprise, the animals come to life.

Children from the city of Halle served as models for the figures in the artwork.
