says he is not current"y considering running for /hance""or of Germany( )e is a ;een chess
amateur and was very receptive to the idea of putting chess on the regu"ar curricu"um of
schoo"s( The event in Lneburg has impressed me! said 8r( A"thusmann! and has shown

abi"ity to concentrate and to thin; "ogica""y( < am de"ighted that so many schoo"s in Lower
