The bookstore Hugendubel, which hosted the book signing, could hardly have expected this kind of a storm. "I am not a chess player," said the store chief Caroline Landesvatter, " and we could not have anticipated such a large number of fans. It is deeply impressive to see how much admiration the fans have for this great chess genius. Unfortunately many were disappointed because we were completely sold out after an hour. The publisher, Manfred Olms, has promised to get us a fresh supply during the coming week." Over 300 copies were signed in this one session, impressive for one of the smaller cities in Germany.
