Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-31-07  Karpova: It's said that Paul Mross gave a Simul in his old club "Eckbauer" in 1966. Two chessplayers wanted to poke fun at him - Chessplayer Bruch had the black pieces while Chessplayer Buerke had the white ones. So Bruch reproduced Mross' moves from his game against Buerke (where Mross had black) and Buerke reproduced Mross' moves from his game against Bruch (where Mross had white). After the simul was over, Mross was impressed by their strong play. When they told him whta they had done, he didn't believe them...

Jan-23-10  Karpova: According to the Arbeiter-Schachklub Spandau - see http://www.berlinerschachverband.de... - Paul Mross was born 1910.06.11. I don't know which date is correct.

  GrahamClayton: Mross was Silesian champion in 1929, and was a regular competitor in the Berlin city championship in the 1930's.
Jan-23-16  TheFocus: Happy birthday, Paul Mross.
Jan-23-19  Cibator: <Karpova>: I once read a similar story involving a so-so correspondence player up against two toughies (who of course ended up, in effect, playing each other unawares). The "middle-man" was thus assured of a 50% result whatever happened.

  Teyss: Hi martin moller,

Following your post I looked on 365chess which would be the most extensive database and couldn't find a game for Mross in 1954 nor a game with the position above (regardless of players). There is a game against Bialas in 1955 but it's very different.

  Teyss: Hi martin moller,

Thanks for the update and congrats for your discovery. You are persistent! (It's a real compliment.) You could submit the game though the usual link (https://www.chessgames.com/nodejs/u...), it might be worth it. If you do, be sure to respect the format else the admin will get back at you.

  Stonehenge: W Bialas vs P Mross, 1954.

There where a few things wrong with the PGN, but it's fixed.
