8/6/2014 – Seventy-one? So why this report, we hear you ask. Because a year
ago we missed his 70th birthday – quite unforgivable, he being
one of our earliest friends in chess. So we make it up today with a portrait
and some personal stories – of which there are more than we can tell.
Pfleger has done more for chess in Germany than anyone we know. Happy birthday
Helmut!
