Tournament Review

The first official championship in the Netherlands is won by the Utrecht physician Adolf Olland. He wins the five-player tournament held in Leiden ahead of Abraham Speijer. He ultimately waives his right to play a match, because the chess federation does not want to comply with his demand that the loser should receive the same prize money as the winner.
