JEROEN PIKET

'Jeroen Piket' (born January 27, 1969 in Leiden, The Netherlands) is a retired Dutch chess player. He won the Dutch Chess Championship in 1990, 1991, 1992 and 1994. Other notable results include a second place at the Hoogovens tournament 1997. In 1999 he drew a match against Anatoly Karpov and the following year he won an internet tournament organised by kasparovchess.com, beating Garry Kasparov in the final.
Piket retired from chess in 2001 to become the personal secretary of billionaire Joop van Oosterom. A few years later, in 2005, Van Oosterom won the Correspondence chess World Championship, causing Tim Krabbé to write: "The Turk was operated by William Schlumberger, Mephisto was operated by Isidore Gunsberg, Ajeeb was operated by Harry Pillsbury and Joop van Oosterom is operated by Jeroen Piket."^[1]
