Impressions of Brunswick - 22/23 June 2007

Once more the auction house Klittich-Pfankuch had invited to an auction of chess literature, in addition the day before (22 June) a little garden party had been arranged - as usual accompanied by an obliging catering by Adelheid and Roger Klittich. We take the opportunity to express our thanks to the Klittich-Pfankuch family for the hospitality they showed once again as well as for the excellent quality of the auction, certainly those KWA members present "rewarded" that by corresponding bidding battles.
[Sitting at the table, from left: bernd ellinghoven, new member Pierre van Craenenbroeck-Moris (from Schilde) and Jurgen Stigter.]

  • International group at the garden party (slightly spoiled by rain): Pierre van Craenenbroeck-Moris, Jurgen Stigter, Per Skjoldager and Guy van Habberney.
  • Pierre van Craenenbroeck-Moris talking with Jurgen Stigter, the Belgian's admittance to the KWA was nearly combined with a cold shower; on the left Adelheid Klittich-Pfankuch.
  • Claes Løfgren, Bern Schneider and bernd ellinghoven.
  • The evening in the Italian restaurant Al Duomo together with our Belgian and Danish friends was also very successful.
  • Calle Erlandsson will not take up with fairy chess, will he?!
  • Together at the round table: Jurgen Stigter, Norbert Fieberg, Hans-Jürgen Fresen and (a "regular visitor" as well) Matthias Limberg.
  • bernd ellinghoven showed us the manuscripts of "Studies on chess history", i.e. part I of the "new Murray": being a compilation of essays it resembles only little its predecessor.
  • A part of our Nordic group: Per Skjoldager, Knud Lysdal and Calle Erlandsson over water and wine.
  • Hotel "Deutsches Haus" next morning - everyone looked pleased. Calle (who had arrived together with his wife Lena) and Bernd Schneider obviously made a good deal too.
  • Matthias Limberg and bernd ellinghoven are studying the latest issue of Kaissiber.
  • Günter Büsing (on the right) still tried to repair Jurgen's camera.
  • Knud Lysdal seems to be completely satisfied.
  • Jørn Erik Nielsen from the Danish town of Aabenraa has just joined the KWA (our 150th member!). Like his friend Per Skjoldager he belongs to the circle of the Nimzowitsch researchers.
  • Meetings before the start of the auction: in the foreground Daniel de Mol with his wife and Knud Lysdal. Lothar Schmid and Rudolf Glenk from Forchheim were present as well, unfortunately both were not caught by the camera.
  • This time in the picture: Per Skjoldager, Guy van Habberney and Jørn Erik Nielsen (left), Bernd (Segebarth) meets Bernd (Schneider) on the right.
  • Comfortable circle in the garden: Bernd Schippan, Jurgen Stigter, Claes Løfgren and Jørn Erik Nielsen.
  • Problemists by themselves: at the table Stephen Rothwell and Godehard Murkisch, behind them bernd ellinghoven "ready to fire".
  • Together at the notebook: Per Skjoldager and chairman Michael Negele.
  • Norbert Fieberg, Matthias Limberg and Wolfgang Pähtz are in a very good mood.
  • At the close some "songs without words": snapshots of the nice old part of Brunswick.
