Kibitzer's Corner
Apr-08-07  Whack8888: I believe this is the fellow who wrote the program Chess Position Trainer. It is a great program and I would recommend it too everybody. It is also free.
Sep-13-07  Whack8888: The person who made Chess Position Trainer is actually a different Steffen. I should have checked before I made my post. Oh well, sorry for the misinformation.

  Domdaniel: I *think* this Steffen won the Danish championship in 2004. He has written books on the Benko, French, and Dutch.
Aug-14-19  SkySports: If he was born in 1974, he can't be the player of the 1966 and 1974 games...

  Tabanus: The 1966 and 1974 games are by Svend Pedersen. Slips sent.
Nov-24-23  kereru: He died, according to a tweet from PHN. Very sad. https://twitter.com/PHChess?post_id...
Nov-28-23  Eastfrisian: R.I.P.
