This tournament, sponsored by Niemeijer, quickly grew out to one of the major junior tournaments in Europe. After five editions, a qualification stage was added. Two Belgians managed to qualify for the A-final: Rooze, who shared 3rd place with Timman and Westermeier, and Goormachtigh. From the 10th edition on, the winner was awarded the official title of European junior champion. After the 1974-75 edition, Gasunie took over the sponsoring of this championship and, with that, the Niemeyer tournament disappeared from the calendar.
