Bernhard Wicki (*28.10.1919 †5.1.2000) schuf mit „Die Grünstein-Variante“ einen der bekanntesten Filme mit Schachthematik. Davon gibt es nur wenige Minuten Ausschnitte im Internet. Literaturvorlage war ein #Hörspiel aus der #DDR, das die #ARD dankenswerterweise in der #Mediathek zur Verfügung stellt: https://www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/das-berlin-hoerspiel/die-gruenstein-variante/rbbkultur/12209973/ #Schach #ChessArt #Schachgeschichte #OTD #onThisDay
