Dec-16-03    AdrianP: Here's an exciting win with Black from Hertneck (player of the day). IM Diesen analyses it in this week's "Attacking Chess" on chess.fm. [Event "Bundesliga 8990"] [Site "Germany"] [Date "1989.10.??"] [Round "0"] [White "Pirrot,Dieter"] [Black "Hertneck,Gerald"] [Result "0-1"] [Eco "C06"] 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nd2 Nf6 4.e5 Nfd7 5.Bd3 c5 6.c3 Nc6 7.Ne2 cxd4 8.cxd4 f6 9.Nf4 Nxd4 10.Qh5+ Ke7 11.exf6+ Nxf6 12.Ng6+ hxg6 13.Qxh8 Kf7 14.0-0 e5 15.Nf3 Nxf3+ 16.gxf3 Nh5 17.Bxg6+ Kxg6 18.Kh1 Qh4 19.Qxf8 Kh7 20.Rg1 Qxf2 21.Qf7 Bg4 0-1 [it's not yet on the chessgames database but I have submitted it via the upload utility]. Mar-26-05    cu8sfan: Our player of the day has his own web page: http://www.ghertneck.de. Lots of interesting articles there but all of them are in German. Mar-26-05    WTHarvey: Here are the critical positions from some of Gerald's games not shown here: http://www.wtharvey.com/hert.html May-03-05    cu8sfan: Player of the day AGAIN??? He was just a couple of weeks ago! May-03-05    mjk: <cu8sfan> That's what happens when a random number generator gets to make the picks. May-03-05    WannaBe: At this pace, he'll be player of the day again in oh.. late June?! May-03-05    Sneaky: Chessgames likes him because his name lends itself so easily to cheap puns. Mar-02-06    cu8sfan: How many players in the database? What are the odds of one player getting to be PotD three times over the span of a year? Mar-02-06    BIDMONFA: Gerald Hertneck HERTNECK, Gerald http://www.bidmonfa.com/hertneck_ge... _ Mar-02-06    MorphyMatt: <AdrianP> Here you go: D Pirrot vs Hertneck, 1989 Sep-18-06    Maatalkko: PotD again! Jul-15-07    whiteshark: To win back my youth, Gerald, there is nothing I wouldn’t do - except take exercise, get up early, or be a useful member of the community. Sep-18-07    whiteshark: How many times he was already PotD ? 4 times ? Sep-18-07    SwitchingQuylthulg: <whiteshark> This is sixth time he's player of the day, unless I'm very much mistaken: 1) Dec 16 2003 2) Mar 26 2005 3) May 3 2005 4) Mar 2 2006 5) Sep 18 2006 6) now Sep-18-07    geraldo8187: might he hold the record? Sep-18-07    lentil: does this guy have a title? Sep-18-07    pawnofdoom: <lentil> Yes, thsi guy's a grandmaster. His rating is 2508 right now, but it's been a lot higher before. He's not playing as well and as much as he used to. Aug-22-08    DarthStapler: Probably because he hurt his neck Sep-18-08    brankat: Happy Birthday GM Hertneck! Feb-21-12    GrahamClayton: Hertneck was a last minute substitute for the Cafe Batavia tournament in Amsterdam in February 2011, and made the most of his opportunity, winning the tournament with a score of 4.5/5. http://www.chessvibes.com/reports/l... May-08-13    offramp: Please can he be player of the day ¿
