Thanks for all your wishes, as i said i will fight for the 9.th place, which
might be hard enough. Today is a bit colder and rainy, only 9 degrees.
A good day to visit museums, to go to a geo-thermal bath and to relax a bit. The
guest house is not so luxurious, but has other advantages rather than an
expensive hotel. Social contact with other guests is much more relaxed. In the
evening a nice talk with a norwegian family from Bergen over history, Vikings,
the german occupation of Norway during 2.WW, Skandinavia, high taxes, the
pricelevel in Iceland and that only 250.000 people build up this great society
and infra structure.

And no - i don't met Bobby Fischer yet...

Good luck to all participants in Mainz as well.

Cheers,
Gerd
