History<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are some writings from the second part of the 18th century in which you can find that Dutch persons were playing correspondence chess. For instance in the S\u00e4mtliche Werke of Jean Paul Richter (1783). Much more detail can be found in the book \u201cTweehonderdvijftig jaar correspondentieschaak in Nederland\u201d, written by Leo C. M. Diepstraten (in 1991), who at that time was the President of the NBC. In the book he states that the oldest correspondence chess game in the world of which the moves are known is the one which was played in the Netherlands between Friedrich Wilhelm von Mauvillon, lieutenant-colonel in the Dutch army in The Hague, and one of his (unknown) brother-officers in Breda. This game was played in 1804. For this article I have thankfully drawn on this book.<\/p>\n
