 | | fm avari viraf: It's very sad to pass away at such a tender age due to pnuemonia. Maybe, that time there was no effective remedy & many lives were lost. But to-day, it is not so since the world has made tremendous progress in medicine as well as in other spheres. Though, "Man is mortal" but due to his Noteboom variation, he is immortal! May God Bless His Soul Peace in Heaven, Eternally! |

| Feb-26-11 | | capanegra: Happy birthday, and RIP, Master Noteboom. Very sad to pass away so early, indeed. As tribute, I'm posting a position shown in a tactics book of Roberto Grau, from a game between Noteboom and Winter in which White won with a very cute combination. White to play and win.

Does anyone know anything about it? Also, he passed away after the Hastings 1931/1932 tournament, but in the database there figures only one game against Koltanowsky. Apparently, there are many Noteboom games missing. |
|
| Feb-27-11 | | sneaky pete: <capanegra> The fragment against Winter is given in the (Dutch) Noteboom memorial book. Unfortunately no date or location is given, but circumstantial evidence makes it very likely the game was played in the Ramsgate tournament of August 1929. Yes, a lot of worthy Noteboom games are still missing here. In the book I mentioned, the next game is a win, not in this database, against Salo Flohr, from the Premier Reserves of the 1929/30 Hastings tournament, giving Noteboom a total score of +2 -1 against Flohr. |
|
| Feb-27-11 | | sneaky pete: Noteboom vs V Berger, 1931 is also from the Hastings 1931/32 tournament. |
|
| Feb-27-11 | | capanegra: <sneaky pete> Thanks for the info. In #5617 of http://www.chesshistory.com/winter/... there is another Noteboom game also missing in the database, though in this case it is a lost one. It was played in the Hastings Premier Reserve of 1930/1931. |

| Oct-05-13 | | pajaste: I thought the Slav Noteboom was because when analysing it, early masters had to use a 'boom of notes' to keep track of all the lines. |

 | | MissScarlett: <The fragment against Winter is given in the (Dutch) Noteboom memorial book. Unfortunately no date or location is given, but circumstantial evidence makes it very likely the game was played in the Ramsgate tournament of August 1929.> But Winter was playing in the British championship and Noteboom in the Major Open. http://www.saund.co.uk/britbase/pgn... They also played in the other Ramsgate congress, of that year, in March/April, but, again, in separate events. |
|
| Feb-26-18 | | sneaky pete: Then the game must be from Hastings 1929/30. |
|

| | MissScarlett: No. Winter played the Premier, and again, Noteboom, the support event, viz., the Premier Reserves. The Reserves did, however, feature William Arthur Winser. But I think their game was drawn. Hmmm. |
|
Feb-26-18
| | MissScarlett: <But I think their game was drawn.> Actually, Winser beat Noteboom, so there's no potential mix up there. Can't rule out the possibility they played elsewhere, though. |

| | MissScarlett: <As tribute, I'm posting a position shown in a tactics book of Roberto Grau, from a game between Noteboom and Winter in which White won with a very cute combination.> Yes, but White's a rook up. I'm guessing that's an omission. |

| | MissScarlett: Linlithgowshire Gazette, January 29th 1932, p.8: <Obituary: The death took place in London, about a week ago, of the brilliant young Dutch expert, D. Noteboom, who was only 23 [sic] years of age. We regret to note that Dutch chess has suffered the loss of two such front-rank players as H. Weenink and D. Noteboom, within a few weeks of each other, and at so early an age. Mr Noteboom we met first at Scarborough, but he also played at Nice the same year, and won first prize there; and did well at “B.C.F." Congresses. At the recent Hastings Congress, he won third prize in “Premier” Reserves Tourney, although he appeared unwell. Noteboom was a very fine player, who evidently bore the heavy handicap of some physical weakness. His mastership was undoubted anyhow. For a young man his mien was unusually sombre and serious, and doubtless there was a good reason for the habitual sadness, which was noted by other players. John Keeble (who knew him well as anybody probably) specially remarked to us on this characteristic. We do not know the cause of his death, but the loss is a big one to Dutch chess, as also to British chess, for he was becoming a regular visitor to congresses here. Unlike H. Weenink, we think D. Noteboom’s fame did not extend to the problem world — at any rate, we knew of him only a player, and not as a problemist.> |

 | | Fusilli: This is a note mostly to fellow <CG editors>. Just thinking aloud about the business of editing bios. These thoughts are mostly ruminations prompted by my love of language. I am curious about others' thoughts on this subtle issue. From the bio: <Noteboom's career was tragically cut short by pneumonia when he was only 21 years of age.> I was slightly taken aback by this sentence. When you start reading it, you expect to read the reason why his career was cut short, not necessarily his life. Had I been the original editor, I would have written "life" instead of "career," because the end of his life includes the end of his career, but the end of his career does not imply the end of his life. If I get picky, I could determine the sentence is flawed, since one can surely survive pneumonia, but if you survive it, why would you quit chess? A reader that thinks that way could theoretically wonder about this, while reading that it was Noteboom's life that was cut short leaves no room for further questions. Still, it is accurate to say that his career was cut short (by pneumonia, at 21) and as chess enthusiasts, we care about that above all. So, I am refraining from editing, going with the precedent set by the earlier editor, since it seems to be a matter of preference rather than accuracy. I recall that the Chessgames Editor Guide advises us to be conservative when changing someone else's work, making sure that what we are changing does constitute an improvement. Side note: Speaking of preferences, I favor omitting value-laden adverbs or adjectives in biographies. I would not use a word like "tragically." But again, its use is consistent with the <CG editor guide>, where point 7 reads: <Unless the cause or circumstances of the player's death were unusual, don't mention it in the bio. For example, "Sadly, personal problems led him to take his own life in Tallinn in 1999." is acceptable.> OK, but to work (the one I am paid for). Chess break is over. |

| Jan-11-23 | | stone free or die: <Fusilli> - notes directed at <CG editors> are likely best noticed in the Bistro, which you can do just with a right-click perma-link. I've left one there pointing to your above post. Cheers. |
