In her lecture "Three Games, Three Times" Carmen Romeo devoted
herself to an era when the European chess underwent a radical change.
Three games (from 1400, 1475 and 1513) were the subject of her comparative
examination. |

Siegfried
Schönle, assisted by his spouse, presented "Chess in books
of the Baroque period".
This subject was also published by Siegfried Schönle in book
form, only recently we have presented that neat work on our pages.

Vienna and the Viennese". |

The
Indian game of Pachisi was the topic of Ute Rettberg's lecture. |
Thus far the lectures of the first day - the second
day was reserved for the excursion to Storchnest (Osieczna), we will go
into that later on. The remaining 7 lectures were held on the third conference
day.

Lissowski, Fred van der Vliet and others have a coffee break. |
