Hoogovens 1960
Compiled by Tabanus

This was the 22nd Hoogoventoernooi - the previous and next events were Hoogovens (1959) and Hoogovens (1961). As usual, five masters from abroad were invited to compete against five of the home players. Drawing of lots took place on 6 January in the Kennemer Theater, where play began next day at 6:15 pm.1 The tournament started one day before the one in Hastings 1959/60 (1959) ended.

Kennemer Theater, Beverwijk, 7-17 January 1960:
