It was the 80s. Our teacher played for Porz (a Cologne district), the then-German serial champion. The teacher also had a good relationship with Hübner. The teacher played simultaneous games at school events, but unfortunately, V. Hort didn't want to.
Hikaruuuuuu I met him at a tournemant he was playing in
