Taking turns devoted Hoogovens aficionados Lex Jongsma and Alexander Mnninghoff present the fascinating history of 60 memorable tournaments that attracted an endless stream of chess stars and lesser gods to Beverwijk and Wijk aan Zee. Their lively account, brimming with anecdotes and hitherto unknown stories, paints at the same time a vivid picture of Dutch chess life in this period. Heavily illustrated 60 Jaar Hoogovens will be a treasure trove for every chess player who ever took part in Hoogovens or hopes to go there one day. Both publications are in Dutch, but even so the book and certainly the CD-Rom are valuable collector's items for non-Dutch chess enthusiasts.
