Prof. Dr. Max Euwe was the best chess player The Netherlands has ever known. He became world champion in 1935. This center, dedicated to Max Euwe himself and to the importance of his work for the world of chess, was opened in 1982. What do you think about an exhibit about the special relationship between chess and art? Part of the center is a museum with a number of interesting exhibitions related to the history of chess: notes by Bobby Fischer, match reports and beautiful chess pieces can all be found here.
