Ralf Beinhorn (17.6.1957-14.1.1988), Syke-Barrien

Germain solver of chess problems

Ralf Beinhorn (17.6.1957-14.1.1988) came from the Bremen area and was a keen solver in the 1980s. His name could be found in the solver lists of many domestic and foreign magazines, and he also regularly took part in the German solving championship, where he usually finished in the lower midfield. The news of his death 25 years ago as the victim of a brutal bank robbery was shocking.
