Story · Max Euwe Centrum

  • en
  • nl

You're standing on the Max Euweplein in Amsterdam, at the Max Euwe Centre. The building it's in has quite a past. It used to be a remand prison. That closed in 1979, and small businesses and organisations moved in. Since December 1991 the chess centre has been one of them.
