Daniël Noteboom

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniël Noteboom (26 February 1910 – 12 January 1932) was a Dutch chess player.

Born in Noordwijk,^[1] he gained notice at the 1930 Chess Olympiad at Hamburg, scoring 11.5/15. After playing at Hastings 1931/2, he soon died of pneumonia in London^[1] at age 21, ending a brief but promising chess career.^[2]

A chess opening variation of the Semi-Slav Defence to the Queen's Gambit is often called the Noteboom Variation: 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c6 4.Nf3 dxc4 5.a4 Bb4 6.e3 b5 7.Bd2 a5 8.axb5 Bxc3 9.Bxc3 cxb5 10.b3 Bb7. This is also called the Abraham's Variation after British amateur Gerald Abraham, who may have a better claim.^[2][3]
