Our frequent correspondent, Herbert Halsegger, notes the following amusing article (in German) about the chess master Arnold Schottländer and his amusing game against "Gustav the Crusher," a coffee-house player, which ended in a nice queen sacrifice:
1...Qh1+ 2.Kxh1 2.Nxf2++ Kg1 3.Nh3#.
Inter alia, the article has a photo of Schottländer's grave, with the statement, "his body was weak, but his spirit was strong."
