Sorry to hear that. I had an interesting draw with Georg in correspondence in the late 1970s and later we met at the 1984 FIDE olympiad; a pleasant friendly person as I vaguely recall.

I seem to recall Georg appearing on one of the late night poker programmes that were prevalent about twenty years ago.
