Chess biography Noteboom was born in Noordwijk. He learned to play chess at the age of 12, and at 14 won a local tournament in Noordwijk. At the age of 15 he was admitted to the Leiden Chess Society, following a special dispensation from the secretary of the club – at the time chess clubs were generally reserved for adult men with social standing and he was supposed to be too young to be included. In the next few years he won the championship of the club three times.
