Lake Constance and Allensbach

 When, almost two years later, I accepted an invitation from the renowned Prof. Elisabeth Noelle-Neumann—the celebrated "Pythia of Bonn"—to join her research team in Allensbach on Lake Constance, my experimental work and calculations were already complete. Only the writing of my dissertation remained…

 This time, however, it was delayed by the demands of earning a living and the joyful distractions of raising two wonderful little boys, enriched with the creative bedtime stories I crafted for them.

 The final dissertation, comprising 342 pages, marked the culmination of 3 ½ years of intense intellectual effort—still faster than the average of 5 years for an empirical-experimental Ph.D. in Germany. Achieving this milestone required not only the ability to navigate independent scientific research but also a resolute determination to see it through.

 Made in Germany: A doctorate grounded in rigorous education, thorough experimentation, and unwavering perseverance—truly a journey of growth and discovery.

Simultanschach

 

Man fordert mich auf sämtlichen Kanälen,

Erfahrungsräume tanzen auf und ab -

nicht zwischen Tod und Leben darf ich wählen:

nur zwischen Kurzgalopp und Dauertrab …

 

Man quetscht mich aus wie eine Pampelmuse,

halb spiel' ich Simultanschach, halb Roulett -

und über allem lächelt die Meduse

der Unersättlichkeit .. das nächste Brett!

 

 

Simultaneous Chess 

On every channel they do challenge me,

Realms of experience: up and down they dance -

Between this life and death no choice will be:

Short gallop or just steady trot, my chance...

 

Quite like a grapefruit they are squeezing me,

Half Simultaneous chess and half Roulette -

Medusa the insatiable, you see,

Above she smiles... "Ahead: next board instead!"

2000 → *50. = Last(!) Simultaneous chess exhibition ü Düsseldorf:

        → 50!

 

 On my 50th birthday I played a simultaneous chess exhibition in Düsseldorf against 16 opponents. The event was filled with good humour and great fun and marked the end of my years playing simuls.

 

 Later that year I attended a Garry Kasparov simul in Frankfurt and witnessed his extraordinary skill at his peak rating of 2851!

 

        First contact with the famous Ex-World champion: Garry Kasparov in his extremely strong simul in ü Frankfurt - on his peak ELO 2851 (!)

        → My game with Garry...  No chance, of course, I had no chance, of course, but I was proud to be one of the last 5 players remaining out of 40!

Draw(!) against World champion challenger GM Alexei Shirov! (once #2 world ranking!)
 Celebrating his 30th birthday after a simultaneous exhibition on 24 boards!

Alexei Shirov (ELO >2700, peak 2755) faced a room full of challengers. By the end of the event, only four players, myself included, managed to secure a draw—nobody could win against him!

After the game, he shared his birthday table with the 4 players with a draw. Shirov and I had a fascinating discussion. He told me that he had once considered becoming a psychologist—a shared interest of ours—but his rapid and overwhelming success in chess left him little time to pursue it. Our conversation, lasting several hours, revealed the thoughtful and multi-dimensional personality behind his extraordinary chess talent.

The final position on the board was tense, and after my move 37...Rd2, Shirov responded with 38.Rxb5. Anticipating my follow-up 38...Rc2, he offered a draw, which I gratefully accepted.

 

         Game:

          Alexei Shirov (ELO >2700, peak 1994 = 2755) - Hilmar Alquiros (Ebert, ELO ~2200) [B12 / Caro-Kann]

                 Simultaneous Exhibition, 24 boards, Thai Orchid, Aachen, July 4, 2002

             37...Rd2 38.Rxb5 and because of 38...Rc2 he offered a draw!

Fate

Who could truly understand the mystery of Fate?

 Once upon a time, two lifelines were destined to intertwine, following a brief initial encounter years earlier. At that time, unaware of the profound union that awaited us, I felt a subtle premonition amidst life's myriad coincidences. Although we were no longer on distant continents but in neighboring European cities, we remained two souls lost among millions.

 Our first meeting, lasting less than an hour, left me with an unshakable belief in an eternal connection. Yet, due to various reasons at that time, it seemed nothing more than an impossible dream.

 As years passed, the hope of seeing her again lingered like a distant mirage—without an address, a phone number, or any hint of her whereabouts. Against all odds, fate miraculously orchestrated our second meeting in a sea of faces.

 This time, free from the constraints that once held us back, the same intense feeling reignited. It was a gradual, almost incredulous realization that she was indeed 'the one.' After hours of daily conversations, I symbolically—and then literally—carried her over the threshold, embracing the certainty that we were destined to be together. The concept of marriage had already entered our conversations even before our first kiss, symbolizing a love that preceded the act of falling in love.

 A few weeks later, on Christmas Eve, surrounded by family and friends, we officially began our relationship, acknowledging our fate that had been written in the stars. Who could truly understand the mystery of Fate?

 

Well, look who I ran into, crowed Coincidence. - Please, flirted Fate, this was meant to be.

 While Coincidence and Fate argue, Destiny decides.

 

Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous.

(„Der Zufall ist Gottes Art, anonym zu bleiben.“)

Albert Einstein

 

 

2002 Christmas Present:

             Love of my life: Lilian Asuncion Alquiros

               

 The greatest Christmas gift—Lilian Asuncion Alquiros, the love of my life. Our officially announced relationship began on Christmas 2002, blessed by attending the Christmas Eve Midnight Mass in the breathtakingly beautiful  Aachen Cathedral. A moment of profound joy and new beginnings, forever etched in my heart... PART TWO OF MY LIFE.

 

 

Nights and Days    Nächte and Tage

 Love is the light, the beacon to the world: it finds what seemed lost, crowns what has found its way.

 Love lives as 'We' but starts as 'You,' embraces 'Us' and cherishes the unique in all. It heals where all else failed, and adds magic to achievements.

 Love gives selflessly, creating a haven of emotional safety. It's not about being, but an endless becoming; not about having, but endlessly fulfilling.

 Love mirrors and elevates both life and death.

 Love is the light in darkness, both the path and the purpose of our journey.

 

Blossom Song
 
Once, exuberance in nights,
Felt wishes, underlying -
Concerned and glad, in yearning's heights,
So full and long were days’ delights,
However, years kept flying...
 
Once, all sounds of life we met,
Beyond all measure free -
Those gorgeous blossom songs had yet
Rung out, when casually we sat
Together, placidly...
 

Hilmar Alquiros

 

 

 

 

 

Blütensang
 
Einst, in der Nächte Überschwang,
da Blicke Wünsche lasen -
ein Sehnen nun, so froh und bang,
mit Tagen, ausgefüllt und lang,
die Jahre aber rasen ...
 
Einst, als das Leben in uns klang,
frei über alle Maßen -
und doch, der schönste Blütensang
ertönte, wenn wir ohne Drang
still beieinander saßen ...

Man ist gelassen auf der Insel Malta,

Auf Eile sind die Geister nicht bedacht –

Längst hat Europa sich hier eingebracht,

Tat gut – nach 1000 Jahren Fremdverwalter …

 

Es reflektiert das südliche Gemüt

So mancher Blick – Malteser oder Gast,

Ein Fingerzeig (wo Du noch Worte hast)

Regiert, so Seele gleich den Palmen blüht.

 

So möcht’ man an den letzten Jahren weben!

Ohnmächtig ob der Zeit, die schon vertan ist –

Nicht einmal Kronos weiß, wo da ein Plan ist,

 

Es siegt das Hier und Jetzt, spontanes Leben!

Touristen seh’n erstaunt zu hohen Scharen

Tiefenkultur aus 7000 Jahren …

 This final volume focuses on the minimalistic artistry of chess compositions—demonstrating how elegance and complexity can emerge from simplicity. The book’s meticulous craftsmanship—from its gold-embossed cover to its detailed content—reflects the same precision we applied to the art of chess itself.

       ü Malta 2!

             

 

Malta

 

Oh, Malta! Dieses jüngste Land,

das sich mit der EU verband:

Von allen auch das südlichste,

das kleinste und... Gemütlichste!

 

Die ältesten Gebäude standen

auf Malta, wie die Forscher fanden:

der Priesterinnen Friedensbrauch...

vor Stonehenge und Ägypten auch!

 

Als Handelszentrum hochgeschätzt,

war es Jahrtausende besetzt:

Phönizier schon und Römerheer

beherrschten hier das Mittelmeer.

 

Die Sprache klingt arabisch noch,

geschrieben wird's lateinisch doch:

den Staufern folgten die Normannen -

Kulturreichtum aus vollen Kannen!

 

Dann Aragonien, Spanien - allen

schien das Juwel sehr zu gefallen:

von König Alfons so genannt,

wie Karl der Fünfte auch befand...

 

Des Abendlandes Schutz verbürgen

vor den Piraten und den Türken -

das konnten dann die Johanniter

als segensreiche Ordensritter.

 

Napoleons Horden raubten Gold,

drum war man bald den Briten hold:

sogar im Weltkrieg, stolz und leidend,

half Maltas Widerstand entscheidend!

 

Schlussendlich frei an allen Küsten,

begehrt von immer mehr Touristen:

als Tauch- und Wanderparadies -

Kultur, die man natürlich ließ...!
