I can think of a couple of 'terminators'. |

 | | Phony Benoni: All right, A.G.O. deserves better kibitzing than this stuff. Here's a game which might remind you of another chess-playing Adolf: Olland vs H Wolf, 1907 |

 | | GrahamClayton: Olland shares with Cecil Purdy and Vladimir Bagoriov the "honour" of passing away while playing. |
|
Jul-08-10
 | | Stonehenge: Wins against a.o. Janowski, Spielmann, Reti, Euwe and Marshall. Not too shabby. |
|

 | | Caissanist: Olland appears to have died while playing the game Olland vs A Hamming, 1933. |
|
Mar-16-11
 | | perfidious: While on the subject of mortality, the year 1933 was not a good one for chess players: Olland, Noteboom, and Loman are three who come to mind straight off, and my tired brain knows there are other notables who also called it a day that year. |
|
Mar-16-11
| | perfidious: Guess I was very tired indeed-the year I was thinking of was 1932, and two more players who got away were Sandor Takacs and Hermanis Karlovich Mattison. |

Interesting history! It's funny that Dirk Van Foreest or Arnold Van Foreest passed his talent on to his great (great?) grandsons: Jorden Van Foreest and Lucas Van Foreest |
|
| Apr-13-12 | | newzild: Another really irritating attempted biography from chessgames.com. It states immediately under Olland's name that he was born 13 April 1867, and then the sentence immediately after that says the same thing again. Poor writing. RE - DUN - DAN - CY - ! |
|
| Apr-13-12 | | newzild: Okay, rather than just complain about another poor bio, I will submit my own effort for this guy: "Adolf Georg Olland was a Utrecht-born doctor and chess master, considered one of the strongest Dutch players of his time. "He was a noted match player, beating most of his important Dutch contemporaries except Euwe. In tournaments, he won at Amsterdam 1889 (shared), Arnheim 1895 (shared), Haarlem 1901 and Leiden 1909 (shared). "He died of a heart attack at the Hague while playing in the 1933 Dutch championship." |

| Sep-16-12 | | Kinan: How come his win against Ewue in 1920 isn't a notable game of his? |
|
Sep-16-12
| | Phony Benoni: <Kinan> Which one? We have three: Olland vs Euwe, 1920
Olland vs Euwe, 1920
Olland vs Euwe, 1920
At any rate, "Notable Games" are just a reflection of how often a game appears in members' games collections. These are assembled for various reasons, not necessarily quality. Chessgames Help |
|
| Sep-16-12 | | Kinan: Wow, this guy was a nightmare for Euwe it seems. |
|
| Sep-17-12 | | thomastonk: <Kinan> Chessgames holds currently 25 games between Olland and Euwe, and Euwe won 14 and lost 6. Olland was considered to be the best chess player in the Netherlands 1919/20 followed by Abraham Speijer. This information is taken from a report of the national championship held in December 1919, where both didn't play. Max Marchand won the championship ahead of Euwe. At the beginning of 1920, a match between Olland and Richard Reti was played, which Réti won "only" 6:4 (+5,-3,=2). From the 25 games here, 23 were played in 1920-22 with +12, -6, =5 in Euwe's favour, showing his rise in those years. |
