  GrahamClayton: “Steffens is a popular and venerable character in the chess scene of Bremen, Germany. He is known both for his eccentric openings (note how the current game begins!) and his warm, unshakeably positive demeanour. For Steffens, chess is both sport and art: every game is not only a battle of wits, but also an opportunity to create something original. ”
