A very suitable name for a chess player.

Koenig's 'Chess from Morphy to Botwinnik' is an absolute gem. My current 'working copy', on loan from the 'Dr Aitken' collection in the Edinburgh chess club, is warmly inscribed (9/7/52) to his chess friend (Dr Aitken) 'in remembrance of the days in the Lud Eagle London'. I'm not even sure whether the Edinburgh club's great denizen and Aitken aficionado, Geoff Chandler, was aware of that. It's a very small world!

Chess no 765-66 (March 1977) carried a nice full-page picture of König taken shortly before publication. (I'd scan and post it here, but don't want to infringe the photographer's copyright.)
