Fritz Baumbach - Who is the Champion of Champions (From Fritz Baumback - former World CC Champion) A short time ago my (and my co-authors) book “Who is the Champion of the Champions” was published. The book is an appreciation of all CC champions from the first champion J. Purdy (1953) to the current champion (21st, 2008) J. van Oosterom, altogether 18 champions. You will find many thrilling and interesting games and a lot of stories.
