Chris (Christiaan) de Ronde (1912 in Schiedam [1] – 1996 in Buenos Aires) was a Dutch–Argentinian chess master. [2]
He was a champion of Rotterdam. He had studied mathematics in Leyden and Paris.
De Ronde played for the Netherlands in the 8th Chess Olympiad at Buenos Aires 1939, scoring 8½ in his 14 games. [3] After the tournament, during which World War II broke out in Europe (September 1939), De Ronde, along with many other participants of the Olympiad ( Miguel Najdorf, Gideon Ståhlberg, et al.) decided to stay permanently in Argentina.

He played in Buenos Aires in 1940, and tied for 12-13th at Buenos Aires (Circulo) 1945 ( Miguel Najdorf won). [5]
