Schach 2006-2007 studies award

[Siegfried Hornecker]

This is my first studies award. The file is attached as PDF (for reading) and three PGNs (for replaying, zipped).

The file was translated and expanded by comments and diagrams in December 2009 and is offered as a kind of christmas present. :-)

My translation might not be 100 percent accurate. Please feel free to point out mistakes! I also can upload the source files (PNG images and DOC) if someone wants it.

Thanks for the "gift"! What a massive amount of work it seems to be. How many hours/days did you need to complete this task?

[Siegfried Hornecker]

It took only a few weeks (September to November 2008). I was talking much to German solver Klaus Rubin so we mailed until we agreed more or less.

Again my apologies to various authors. Today I feel the 1st to 3rd commendation should have been ranked as honorable mentions.
