On the tracks of old chess-masters

On the 20th of August 2019, we walked through the Vienna Central Cementery with the chess-historian Michael Ehn. Around 50 participants enjoyed the stories about the life of famous chess-masters and chess-sponsors like Richard Reti, Ignaz Freiherr of Kolisch, Berthold Englisch, Leopold Trebitsch and Gustav Leopold of Epstein. Everyone agreed, that the preservation of the graves of those personalities is very important.
