Negele, Henri Serruys and Ralf Binnewirtz |
Our
Belgian friend Henri Serruys (together with his son) visited Wuppertal
on July 8th, Henri gave valuable help for the Le Lionnais article (meanwhile
published in KARL 2/2006). Naturally in fantastic weather some
refreshment in an open-air restaurant (picture above) was compulsory.

Bert Corneth even controls a state of utter
chaos - fortunately existing only in the "Wuppertal Archives":

author (a sample of recent date is the chronicle "Chess
