Donner was not very impressed by Belle. He played a match against it and claimed
afterwards:" It was terrible, my 4 year old niece plays better chess"

Donner was famous in Holland for his rudeness (well, also for his chess of
course). If you had never been insulted by Donner, you didn't count.

His nickname was "Iron Hein". Hein except for Donners first name, also being the
name for Death in dutch ( Skinny Hein).
