So many mistakes in the interview. First of all it is the 2023 edition, not the 2022 edition. Second of all on Wikipedia the redaction could have read that there have been more dutch winners than Timman and Jorden van Foreest
But who cares

[@FinnDeJong]

I can't find other winners than Anish, Jorden and Jan. I can find winners of Beverwijk but that is different to Wijk aan zee, isn't it?

[@JimmyPost]

@@FinnDeJong Wijk aan Zee is part of Beverwijk. The location of the tournament changed from Beverwijk to Wijk aan Zee but actually it is the same tournament. It was from the beginning organized by the steelmaker Hoogovens Steel, now after some merges Tata Steel

@@JimmyPost Exactly. The fact that they included Timman in his mentions automatically implies they're referring to a period pre-tata steel, as Timman won what was then called the Hoogovens Wijk aan Zee. Sonosko also won that tournament twice, albeit shared both times (once with Timman). Especially in the early days of the tournament (Hoogovens Beverwijk) there are plenty Dutch winners, although it's fair to say that the tournament wasn't as international in its early days.
