Kibitzer's Corner
Sep-30-05  vonKrolock: This player is born in December 9th, 1938, and lives in Bochum, Germany?! - I'm sure we could find some interesting draws or victories for him...
May-09-09  jerseybob: In the late 60's in a tourney in England, Bachmann beat Walter Browne brilliantly as black in a Pirc. I think the game can be found in either BCM or CHESS.
Jan-10-12  DoctorD: Well-known composer of mainly very long selfmates (more than twenty moves) but has composed in all genres. Some of his directmates can be found at: http://www.bstephen.me.uk/cgi-bin/m...

Would love to see the game against Browne; I don't find it in any database.

Jan-10-12  DoctorD: Here is one of his massacre proofgames, Die Schwalbe 1992 (Proofgame in 17 moves):

As John Nunn notes about proofgames, "The moves all have to be legal, but may not be very sensible."
