Daniël Noteboom
Daniël Noteboom (26 February 1910 – 12 January 1932) was a Dutch chess player. He gained notice at the 1930 Chess Olympiad at Hamburg, scoring 11½/15, including a win against Salo Flohr.[1]
Chess biography[edit]
Noteboom was born in Noordwijk.[2] He learned to play chess at the age of 12, and at 14 won a local tournament in Noordwijk. At the age of 15 he was admitted to the Leiden Chess Society, following a special dispensation from the secretary of the club – at the time chess clubs were generally reserved for adult men with social standing and he was supposed to be too young to be included. In the next few years he won the championship of the club three times.[3]
After playing at Hastings 1931/2, he soon died of pneumonia in London[2] at age 21, ending a brief but promising chess career.[4]
