Great movie on the among the well known dutch players in the late 70's. Interesting as this is before computer databases and it's old school pen and paper for chess studies. Nice: http://is.gd/9LNMJc

Thank you very much! This video brought me back into the 70-s, when I played tournaments. There was a very popular chess cafe in Budapest too, same as in this video, and my father played correspondence chess too. Good memories!
