Bewerwijk / Wijk aan Zee has not only a long tradition of important chess
tournaments (starting in 1938, only interrupted in 1945, so it is No.
66 in 2004.) but there is also a long series of different tournament books
and bulletins published. So it´s a pity for the collectors of chess
literature that nowadays nice tournament books are only produced very
seldom.
The first one is "Hans Kmoch, Het Schaakcongres Beverwijk 1946 -
published by the Hoogoven-Tournooiclub" - which gives also a short
overview on the first tournaments by P.A. Veldheer: page
3-4
Very impressing is the book "60 jaar Hoogovens Schaaktoernooi"
by Lex Jongsma and Alexander Münninghoff - published by New In Chess
Interchess BV in 1998.
