Apr-11-18  Nightsurfer: That very photo - that features the (later) venue of this game here <Rainer Schnelle vs Rene Gralla (2003)> has been taken during the recording of the song <"Cuba Baila Baila!">. The song <"Cuba Baila Baila!"> has been composed by Rainer Schnelle , and the lyrics have been written by Rene Gralla (the song has been produced by the team <Rainer Schnelle> and <Rene Gralla>). The song <"Cuba Baila Baila!"> has been uploaded to YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plZ... ... ;-) ... !

Dec-05-18  Nightsurfer: There is a funny coincidence ... of the final position of checkmate in this game here <Rainer Schnelle vs Rene Gralla (2003)> after <12. ... Qe3#>, please have a look at that very constellation (with the distribution of colours reversed on the board - in order to underline that point!) ...
