In 1874 he joined or perhaps co-founded the local chess club "Van der Linde", one of the three oldest extant chess clubs in the Netherlands.〔Niemeyer, (History of Chess Club Van der Linde ) (in Dutch)〕 He was the only Dutchman to have a positive record against Dirk van Foreest in the latter's heyday in the 1880s (+3−2=2).〔(Dirk en Arnold van Foreest ), with a picture including Benima (in Dutch)〕 His son Fred Benima (born 14 March 1876 in Winschoten) became an international tournament player as well. ==Benima Defence== A line in the Scotch Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 Be7) named after Levi Benima (although played by Johann Löwenthal in 1856) that has an affinity with the Hungarian Defense (i.e. equally reached by 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Be7 3.d4 exd4). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Levi Benima」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
