As a company located in the Netherlands, we have the habit of sponsoring some local events with books and magazines.

Frank Erwich is a FIDE Master and an experienced chess trainer from the Netherlands. He holds a Master’s degree in Psychology. Frank is a book editor for New In Chess and has published the best-sellers: 1001 Chess Exercises for Club Players and 1001 Chess Exercises for Advanced Club Players. More recently, he published 100 Tactical Patterns You Must Know and an accompanying workbook.

On July 5, Chess Club Wassenaar celebrated their 100-year jubilee. As this was Frank’s first club, he was asked to give a simultaneous display as part of the celebration.

There was only room for 30 players, but players who finished early were replaced by people who were anxiously waiting to get a chance to participate. In the end, Frand played against 35 opponents, all of them getting a small prize sponsored by New In Chess.

On the club’s website, you can find more photos and an extensive report (in Dutch).
