Kibitzer's Corner
Aug-16-04  Kaspy2: his french-Winawer book is one of the best chess book available.
Aug-26-04  Future Delivery: I like his name. It's like telling people to go away.
Oct-27-04  aw1988: Lol!
May-04-05  shortsight: I saw Klaus Bischoff at playchess.com with the nick "pinkpanther". Anyone knows if he's the same pinky at cg.com?

Feb-20-07  nummerzwei: This German grandmaster is both a solid player and good blitz player. He won the German Blitz championship last year, for example
Jan-18-09  Benzol: Currently playing in the Queenstown Classic in New Zealand.
Jul-11-09  AniamL: This guy presented some pretty good commentary live at Dortmund, from what I could understand of the German anyway :)
Jun-09-10  wordfunph: "Chess is simply a wonderful game. Luring an opponent onto unknown territory, then outplaying him --- that will never lose its fascination for me."

- Klaus Bischoff

Jul-28-10  BobCrisp: Any relation to <Karl Bischoff>?

  HeMateMe: Any Bischoff Bishops Opening in the db here?
Dec-01-18  kamekura: PhilFeeley, he’s indeed that Bischoff. The game is available on chesstempo. I had to look it up because one of the moves in a variation in the book doesn’t quite make sense (17... Bb4).
