Leo Jansen has been developing 'his system' for over 40 years now. They deservedly call him de founder of the Lion. He has played the Lion so many times that the opening is also called the Jansen-system. He plays the Lion mostly with black but has also booked a lot of successes with a white Lion. |
|
Jerry van Rekom is known as the author of the book 'Schaak Smakelijk'. The author was also very succesful in chess with the Lion and has helped with the development of many of the variations. You can download a few games played by him at Games. |
