He received the Fide title of an International master in 1964 and won the Dutch Chess Championship in 1972 [1]. From 1960 until 1968 Zuidema studied Mathematics at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, and was then affiliated with the Mathematical Center Amdsterdam (today the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica). Since 1974 until his retirement he was IBM employee. His paper Chess: How to Program the Exceptions? [2] on the topic of computer chess covers the programming aspects of various Endgames considering its exceptions from general knowledge, and also lists an Algol 60 program to play the Rook Endgame.
