  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... ... ;-) ... !

with the final position of checkmate (with colours reversed) that has been executed two years earlier in the game R Maidana vs P Goette, 2001 , please have a look at the constellation of White's deadly punch with <10.Qxe6#> ...
