Kibitzer's Corner
Jan-21-05  Daodejing: Josef Klinger was the most promising austrian chess player after the World War II. He was 3rd in the Junior World Championship in 1985. At the Chessolympiade in Dubai 1986 he was second at that the first board with 75% behind Kasparov (77,3%).

Later he decided to leave chess because in chess there is too less pricemoney, so he became a professional poker player. And he earned a lot of money.

For example:

Euro 80.000

http://www.thepokerforum.com/wsop02...

USD 153,700

  alexrawlings: Looks like this guy made €1,000,000 euros playing poker recently http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe... which I guess justifies why he stopped playing chess!
Jun-10-13  waustad: There is a second Josef Klinger who plays chess who was born in 1946. Both are Austrian.
