GM Robert Huebner, the best German chess player since Emanuel Lasker has died at the age of 76 after a long illness.  it won't come as a surprise that this quote is from him As one of the smartest intellectuals among all the chess grandmasters that ever lived Huebner knew better than anyone about the endless depths of our beloved game He was famous for his meticulous and profound analysis showcased for example in his Twenty-five Annotated Games published in 1996 a book that stretched a stunning 400 pages His motto as it came to working on chess—in mostly a pre-engine era—seemed to be that chess in what would officially become West Germany half a year later He learned to play chess at the age of five from his father In 1957, Huebner joined the railway chess club Turm Koln and soon started representing it in team competitions. In 1963, he became German youth champion in Bad Schwalbach, winning with a four-point lead. The following year, he tied for first place with GM Hans Ree in the Niemeyer tournament for European players under 20 in Groningen Then, at the World Junior Championship in Barcelona in 1965, Huebner tied for fifth to seventh places. Two years later, in the same event but then in Jerusalem, he finished fourth behind IM Julio Kaplan and GMs Raymond Keene and Jan Timman His international breakthrough came at the Interzonal Tournament in Palma de Mallorca in 1970, the tournament that was famously won by future world champion GM Bobby Fischer He became Germany's youngest grandmaster in 1971 He faced former world champion GM Tigran Petrosian in the quarterfinals of the Candidates Matches in Seville he blundered a piece in a drawn position in the seventh game and then abandoned the match disturbed by the noise in the tournament hall He did beat Petrosian at the Chess Olympiad in Skopje in 1972 where Huebner won the gold medal for Germany's board one with an undefeated score that year: +12 =6 -0 Eventually he would represent Germany 11 times between 1968 and 2000 and score 80.5 points over 122 games He had been leading the match by one point after six but dramatically lost the seventh by blundering a knight fork and the last two (adjourned) games remained unfinished but were awarded to Korchnoi Huebner was also involved in what is arguably the strangest finish to a Candidates Match in chess history. As a finalist of the previous cycle, he qualified for the third time and was paired with former world champion GM Vasily Smyslov in the quarterfinals the score was 5-5 and a playoff saw four draws this match was decided by fate at the roulette table in a local casino Smyslov was the lucky one whereas Huebner was eliminated A further twist is that the ball first ended on zero before it hit a red number Huebner qualified once more to the Candidates but lost his first-round match in 1991 to Timman The Dutch grandmaster provided a brief statement to Chess.com about the tragic news: "Really sad news Robert and I were good friends for many years." quick win against Korchnoi at the 1987 Interpolis tournament in Tilburg: He had a bad score against GM Garry Kasparov (and that was nothing to be ashamed of) but in the very last classical game they played Huebner managed to beat the reigning world champion from an incredibly complicated opening and early middlegame: Huebner was known for his deep analytical skills and his remarkable contributions to chess literature he also wrote Fünfundfünfzig feiste Fehler ("55 Fat Blunders") in 1990 featuring only losses by him There was also Materialien zu Fischers Partien ("Material Related to Fischer's Games") from 2004 where he deeply annotated all of Fischer's encounters from My 60 Memorable Games and Der Weltmeisterschaftskampf Lasker-Steinitz 1894 ("The World Championship Match Lasker-Steinitz 1894") in 2008 Huebner also had a keen interest in Chinese chess (xiangqi) and played it competitively obtaining his doctorate from the University of Cologne in 1976 He specialized in the study of ancient manuscripts He was a linguistic genius, as attested by the following anecdote that Hartmut Metz wrote in an article on the occasion of Huebner's 75th birthday: Huebner is said to speak 22 languages. His genius in this regard is underlined by an anecdote: he once played a game against GM Heikki Westerinen Huebner was unable to communicate with the Finnish grandmaster because So Huebner went home and learned Finnish so that he could talk to Westerinen after the next game It should be noted that Huebner self-published a German edition of satires by the Finnish author Vaino Nuorteva in 1993 which makes the above story more likely to be true From the same interview:Q: You have always made very deep analyses of your games Weren't you too merciless on yourself?A: I don't think it was a matter of mercy or lack of mercy & by doing so I have seen that I do not understand too much about chess he held the opinion that every player had a right to his game and that a game could therefore not be published without the player's consent Like others who tried to uphold the claim of copyright over chess games Huebner was not successful in the court of law When doping controls were introduced in international chess after the 2000 Chess Olympiad Huebner announced his withdrawal from the German national team He saw the controls as a "measure of bureaucratic power" that represented a "degradation incapacitation and disenfranchisement of the individual." One of the last tournaments Huebner played in was a four-player rapid tournament in Leiden in early March 2020, just before the Covid-19 pandemic hit the Netherlands. He was the oldest participant alongside Karpov, Timman, and the tournament winner GM Predrag Nikolic and Timman gave a public post-mortem on stage The Huebner variation goes 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 4.e3 c5 5.Bd3 Nc6 6.Nf3 Bxc3+ In 1993, Huebner served as a second to GM Nigel Short in his PCA World Championship match in London against Kasparov He worked as my main second against Kasparov and organized many things I had great respect for him as a player and as an analyst but he was interested in getting to the bottom of things.  Others will speak about his career and his achievement but I want to share something more personal. We spent hours and hours talking about all sorts of things Robert was reading The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde out loud This is a side to Robert that people never saw He had a biting sense of humor and was very self-deprecating Not that I knew anything about Inuit grammar And he had a fantastic collection of chess books When he analyzed a game of his for Chess Informant it would lead to a work of several pages full of moves and symbols nobody reads this,” he replied: “I know nobody reads this I do it for myself.“ He was doing it for his own understanding My friend and co-author CM Arne Moll provided a nice anecdote It was at the Ter Apel tournament in 1997 where all the players stayed in the same hotel I was analyzing with a player of my level and a patzer Suddenly Huebner came to sit with him and started giving very constructive commentary The loser kept saying: "I'm already totally won here," to which Huebner said: "Yes You can always make it difficult for your opponent I found that extremely instructive at the time and have always remembered it I have saved many points in my career by thinking about Huebner and still every day in blitz and bullet my motto is: "You can always make it difficult for your opponent We can remember Huebner when we end up in bad positions—so he continues to inspire us to fight harder Or simply as the world-class player that he certainly was at the peak of his career We've lost one of those very special characters of the chess world of stomach cancer in a hospital in Cologne-Dellbruck Email:

and a job to help them stay out of trouble If children and teens have those three things in their life then they are less likely to get in trouble He was kicked off the basketball team at Robinswood Middle School because he had a 1.3 GPA He spent the first 13 years of his life sleeping on a couch in a one-bedroom apartment “I just knew I didn’t want to be poor,” Schwalbach says outside his old middle school in Orlando “I was going to do whatever it took to make money and to be successful.”  Eric is now a high school teacher and coach He credits his success to a mentor he had as a teenager and love to other kids who were just like him my mother was drinking.” It’s a job he knows he can’t do alone Thursday night he connected with Joe Standley who has been in and out of jail for drug addiction and assault Standley is with an organization called Takeover Joe goes into prisons and neighborhoods to talk to anyone who will listen about staying on the right track “We are trying to help people find their purpose,” Joe Standley from Takeover says “If we can get that message to people as young as possible to plant that seed and a better path of life than the one I went down.” When Eric’s not out looking for others to mentor or help he’s out checking on his kids that he helps he’s checking on 19-year-old Jacarri Leath He wasn’t at his grandmother’s home in Winter Garden either also known as “Bulldog,” was shot twice in the leg from a neighborhood conflict.  While driving up and down the streets of a Winter Garden community looking for Bulldog Eric’s reminded of others who

the family announces Donna’s passing peacefully at the Guelph General Hospital on Tuesday 2024 at nearly 86 years of age from a complex of illnesses dear aunt of Michael Burt (Sherry) of Mississauga Gail and Lynne Doupe of Stratford and Jan McIntyre (Larry) of Salt Spring Island BC Cousin to Debi Alleway and Bobby Alleway of Toronto Donna was daughter of Jack and Ella Burt and grew up with her brother John (May) in the Pape and Danforth area of Toronto where she loved the colorful community spirit of the people she was part of the first class of graduates taught entirely at Royal York Collegiate There she edited the yearbook and won a Ford Scholarship to the University of Toronto to study Modern Languages in her final year This was followed by a varied and rewarding career as a teacher Albert Schweitzer School near Bad Schwalbach followed by stints at Clarke Road Secondary followed by 40 wonderful years in the stone farmhouse in Ariss Donna was a founding member of The Elora Co-operative Preschool a volunteer role she carried with her to Ariss While living on “the farm” she volunteered at Guelph General and was a Homewood Library volunteer for nearly twenty years Donna possessed a great but quiet sense of duty and loyalty to family She was happiest enjoying a quiet evening in the living room on the farm enjoying the aroma of the open woodstove with a good book She also enjoyed our many trips to England But her happiest moments were with Jonathan telling stories of his “adventures” of the day with great humour at the supper table One of her proudest memories was witnessing him getting his doctorate at her old school Special thanks to all for the medical care she received during her final illness at Guelph General and St Joseph’s Particular thanks to her endocrinologist Dr Cameron Purdon for his exceptional care for many years Donna was a modest person who could sense affectation and phoniness in others easily She allowed Roy to engage in all his pursuits without complaint She was the heart of our family and is irreplaceable Donna’s memory will be honoured at a private family gathering or perhaps enjoy a glass of unoaked French Chardonnay

Donna’s memory A tree will be planted in memory of Donna E Doupe in the Wall-Custance Memorial Forest together with his friend and collaborator Miguel Beato In 1975 he returned to Germany and led a working group at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Berlin until 1980 when he was appointed head of the Division of “Molecular Biology of the Cell I” at the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum where he stayed until his definitive retirement in 2015 Since 2008 he had been appointed as Helmholtz Professor In 1988 he received the most prestigious research award in Germany with his creative mind and impressive working capacity contributed more than 450 scientific publications over his entire career Throughout his life he was interested in understanding how steroid hormones could regulate gene activity This idea drove his research towards understanding the genes encoding the nuclear receptors to which steroid hormones bind to transduce their effect into the nucleus of the cell As many as 134 publication can be found from Günther on nuclear receptors Günther Schütz was among the first to recognize the value of genetically-modified mouse models to study gene expression (in particular that of nuclear receptors responding to steroid hormones) his lab was among the pioneers in Europe to produce transgenic and mutant mice and also a constant source of mouse-related technologies that were later universally adopted Numerous knockout (KO) mouse models with inactivated glucocorticoid or mineralocorticoid receptors were originated in his lab and have been distributed all over the world or sophisticated tissue-specific and/or inducible KOs where he could gather more information on the role of these nuclear receptors in cell differentiation eventually how sexual hormones influence brain functioning In his laboratory all postdoctoral researchers we had the freedom to explore side scientific projects, on the top of the activities that we had been assigned to develop. This open mind attitude was a constant through his life. He said: “Our research continues to be very exciting because it often happens that we come across new unexpected results.” I remember when I joined his lab and we had the first meeting in his office After briefly discussing the projects that I would be working on with the talent to impact on people’s careers I landed in Heidelberg as a plant molecular biologist and returned to Spain five years later as a mouse geneticist several former collaborators from his lab we organized a ZOOM virtual meeting to remember him and share our memories Over 30 people showed up at this spontaneous gathering we quickly managed to get over 70 addresses and I am sure we are still missing many more It is impressive to see how many generations of researchers we have been in Günther Schütz’s lab over his 40 years of research as group leader (1975-2015) and how the large majority of us remained in science and succeeded establishing as leading independent labs We all recognized his influence in our careers and how he transmitted his enthusiasm (and hard work) for science Note: Lluis Montoliu (CNB-CSIC and CIBERER-ISCIII Spain) was a postdoctoral researcher in Günther Schütz’s laboratory at DKFZ in

The connection of Gateway Gardens to the S-Bahn network is particularly advantageous for the approximately 19,000 employees in the district: the travel time by public transport from Frankfurt's main station is reduced to 10 minutes and the previously necessary change of trains is no longer necessary For passengers in or from the direction of Wiesbaden the journey time and about 5 minutes longer 15-minute cycle in the S-Bahn network is further expanded is not the only change in the new timetable After the S-Bahn frequency has already been steadily expanded in recent years S-Bahn lines that run through the Frankfurt Citytunnel are now generally every 15 minutes from 6 a.m the S6 now also runs at continuous hourly intervals on party nights from Friday to Saturday Saturday to Sunday and before public holidays Every 30 minutes between the Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar metropolitan regions .The RegionalExpress line RE60 runs on the highly demanded axis between Frankfurt on weekends at hourly intervals between the Rhine-Main and Rhine-Neckar metropolitan regions With now 15 connections per weekday and 14 connections on weekends this is almost double the previous number of trips on the RE60 between Darmstadt and Mannheim Together with the hourly regional trains RB67/68 this results in an approximate half-hourly service between numerous cities RheingauExpress: at hourly intervals from Eltville to Frankfurt Through the cooperation of the transport companies VIAS and HLB additional express connections of the RE9 will be possible which was newly established in December 2018 will be supplemented by five additional trips in each direction at hourly intervals The advantage for Rheingau commuters: the RE9 runs from Eltville to Frankfurt without stopping at Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof This results in a travel time saving of 10 minutes compared to the Rheingau line RB10 the range of services will also be expanded so that all trips of the RheingauExpress' will have connections in Niederwalluf to and from Bad Schwalbach Also on the bus line 171 there are new connections in Eltville to Geisenheim in the afternoon But the RB10 also runs more frequently: there are additional trips in the morning and afternoon between Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof and Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof as well as an additional late-night trip between Frankfurt and the Rheingau in each direction on party nights Many timetable extensions in the entire RMV area individual additional trips will be offered on numerous lines are the fast Sprinter trains on the RE50 Frankfurt - Fulda more connections in the popular X-Bus network and more through trains to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof on both the Dreieich and Niddertalbahn The RB21 between Wiesbaden and Niedernhausen will run every half hour during the day buses will supplement the rail route of the RB12 between Kelkheim Liederbach and Frankfurt Höchst during rush hours and run as far as Industriepark Höchst The most important timetable changes in the regions in detail: On all S-Bahn lines: Further extensions of the 15-minute frequency All S-Bahn lines that run through the Frankfurt Citytunnel (S1-S6 as well as S8 and S9) are Monday to Friday in the period from 6 to 10 am and from 3 to 8 pm generally at 15-minute intervals S1 (Wiesbaden - Frankfurt - Offenbach - Rödermark Ober-Roden): Extension of the 15-minute frequency in the morning from Hochheim and Rödermark Ober-Roden to Frankfurt until 10 am there are new early morning departures Monday to Friday at 3:28 from Rödermark Ober-Roden to Wiesbaden and at 3:35 from Wiesbaden to Rödermark Ober-Roden some trips that previously ended in Frankfurt Höchst will be extended to Hattersheim S2 (Niedernhausen - Frankfurt - Offenbach - Dietzenbach): Extension of the 15-minute frequency in the morning from Niedernhausen and Dietzenbach to Frankfurt until 10 am S3/S4 (Bad Soden / Kronberg - Frankfurt - Langen - Darmstadt): The first early morning trip at 3:45 a.m from Bad Soden will continue to Darmstadt South in the future the first early morning trip also departs Monday to Friday at 3:35 a.m There is also a new late departure at 01:05 from Darmstadt Hbf to Frankfurt Hbf which runs through to Kronberg on party nights S5 (Friedrichsdorf -
