Dear Hans, your e-mail server doesn't work. My e-mail was sent back to me. Now my comments to 'Vierschach': Vierschach was invented by the famous German doctor Dr. G. Arthur Lutze (1813-1870). He invented a health coffee, founded the Lutze clinic in Koethen (Sachsen-Anhalt) and was one of the greatest homeopath.He wrote a poem called 'Der Drachenfels' (a mountain near the former capital of Western Germany, Bonn. The Drachenfels is also called the highest mountain of the Netherlands, because so many Dutch people climb it.)which was set to music by Johann Karl Gottfied Loewe (1796-1869)in 1838. A photo of Dr. Lutze: http://www.kulturstaetten-koethen.de/tourismus/images/lutze_1.jpg The game is described in: Heinz Machatscheck. Zug um Zug: Die Zauberwelt der Brettspiele. Verlag Neues Leben Berlin. 6th edition, 1990. (pp. 65-66) BTW you have the book in your collection, Hans (your description of Russian Fortress Chess is based on it.) I have rated the site as 'poor' because when I try to print it, your site crashes the workstation of the Institute for Data Processing at Tuebingen University. There must be a major bug in the html of your page. Ralf
