104 YEAR OLD CHESSPLAYER FINISHES THE TATA STEEL AMATEUR INTERNATIONAL …

Wijk Ann Zee, Holland — Our many correspondents on Chessbase News blogs report a sprightly 104 year old Mr. Johan Hulst competed in the 2015 amateur Tata Steel chess tourney … he may have been rusty … his last tourney victory was after all long ago … at age 95! If the name sounds familiar … he is the honored world wide gentleman who personally saved hundreds of Jewish children with all sorts of slickeroo high class sneaky moves in the Nazi world war era.
