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.<ref name="Leiden">[http://www.danielnoteboom.leisb.nl/histotie_schaker.htm Daniël Noteboom 1910-1932], Leiden chess club (in Dutch)</ref>
