aka FM <Hartmutix Metz> Die Meinungen über sein Talent sind geteilt: Er selbst findet sich genial, alle Anderen finden ihn unbeschreiblich. Doch wenn er nichts sagt und schreibt, ist er ein fröhlicher Geselle, der von allen geschätzt wird ...

(Die Schachkolumne von FM Hartmut Metz)

Aug-31-16  diagonal: In June 2012, Hartmut Metz beat Viktor Korchnoi in a rapid game in Potsdam (Schauspiel des Geistes im Kaiserbahnhof): http://www.rochade-kuppenheim.de/wp...

One of his finest games is a 20-move win in classical chess against Michael Prusikin: H Metz vs M Prusikin, 2000

And a recent game, at the <Grenke Open in Karlsruhe 2016> with 940 participants (successor of the Neckar-Open series in Deizisau, Grenke sponsored this year an Open Festival instead of the invitation tournament at Baden-Baden), Metz drew elite player Richard Rapport quite easily: http://www.chessbomb.com/arena/2016... (game), http://www.grenkechessopen.de/de/be... (picture / diagram)

Metz learned the game late at the age of 16 when he was injured after a soccer match. He is a renowned chess author and journalist in german language, also co-organizing the longtime <Mainz Chess Classic> Open series (1994 to 2010, first editions at Frankfurt) with Hans Walter Schmitt, including the unofficial chess960 World Chess Championships: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess...

Apart, he’s played more than 1'800 competitive games, mostly in open tournament and team events in Germany (Rochade Kuppenheim), Austria, and Switzerland.
