- Comment by Günther Weeth (* 13.8.1935) from "Problemschach-Jahrbuch 2000," No. 560, p.237: "Führt in sparsamer, eleganter Form das BERLIN-Thema vor: Im Probespiel hat Schwarz ein Matt, welches im Hauptspiel zum Racheschach degradiert wird."

- A logical problem for the wide audience of a newspaper. Not immediately 1. 0-0-0? Nb3#! (Berlin theme). Also 1. RxB g4! is too slow. Therefore White gets rid of Bb2 in a forced way by 1. Be5+ Kg1 2. Bh2+ KxB and now 3.. Nb3 is only a check 3. 0-0-0 Nb3+ 4. Kb2 5. Rh1#.
Ralf Krätschmer (* 22.12.1957 in Heidelberg) German composer and FIDE Master. "Ralf Krätschmer composes mostly moremovers, but also fairy problems. His favourite theme is the Berlin theme and his website bears the theme's name. (Berlin theme: In the try, White fails because Black can mate faster.) Erik Zierke has selected and commented many of Ralf's best problems in the 126-page "Ausgewählte Schachprobleme von Ralf Krätschmer" (2nd version 2012)." All of this and much more is to be found on his homepage berlinthema.de. Ralf Krätschmer currently edits the moremover section of 'Die Schwalbe' and maintains the Schwalbe book shop, see his homepage for many interesting titles, mostly second hand, of chess problem literature.
Since the opening in October 2000, I had published online more than 6650 free chess problems. If you want more details, look at my chess figures pages.
