You're guessing wrong. It's a noble, old chess tradtion among Dutchies to slaughter each other in tournaments. I can't refind it right now, but I remember a qualification tournament in the 1980's where one Dutch chessplayer prevented another to qualify, to the joy of an Englishman.
Thanks for all your commentary through the tournament!

“As you’ve no doubt guessed from my very heavy-handed foreshadowing” ... Very funny! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
