These are spheres of chocolate filled with marzipan. I don't know how you call Mozartkugeln. Probalby not Mozart chocolate balls as it's somewhat ambiguous. :-)) I forgot something important: The first chess automaton "The Turk" was invented in Vienna. The inventor was born in Hungary. But artists like Mozart and Falco can't be claimed for a specific city or their birthplace anyway, because they were european, or international resp., and were influenced by works of other musicians from everywhere. This is probably similar in any art, and in chess too. Regards, Mike Scheidl
