The judge Werner Issler (CH) writes in his decision (Deutsche Schachblätter December 1971): “For the judge it is always particularly pleasant when there can be little doubt about the award of the highest award - as in this tournament. The 1st prize belongs to the jewel No. 978 by Gerd Rinder. Ten stones of this size, which are also real chess puzzles, are very, very rare in the entire chess literature. "

The judge Roland Baier (CH) wrote: “What a fantastic white and black strategy spectacle with intrigues à là“ Spy versus Spy ”; the simple facilitation 1. Be5? with multiple threats after the silent 2. Qd6 fails because of a simple self-block, because too little thought / planning. The extended path 1. Bf4 !? but misses the necessary cover on d4 and thus allows the poisonous counter-offensive with a black pathway to restrain the queen who is now threatening alone. Only the ingenious third-degree pathway triumphantly unmasked the black counterplay as Weissauer- Bahnung - everything happens in rapid succession, thematically closely interwoven and to the point! Very original and fascinating! - 1. Be5? [2. Qd6 and 3. Qb4 / Qc5 / Qd4 / Rc3 #] Nxe5 2. Qxe5, but 1.… Nh6 !; 1.… Bf4 !? [2. Qd6] Nh6 2. Rc3 + Kd5 3. Qe5 #, but 1.… Bxc6 !! (2nd Qd6 Qd5 3rd Rc3 + Kd4!); 1. Bg3! [b4 2. Qd6 Kb5 3. Qxb4 #] 1.… Bxc6 2. Qf4 + Be4 3. Bd5 # (2.… De4 / Bxf4 3. Qxc1 / Sa3 #) (1. Bh2? Qxh2!) "

1. Kh8! Lh1! 2. f3! Bxf3 3.Rg8 Bh1 (Qc2, De2) 4.Ra8 +! Bxa8 5. f8D
In his book The logical chess problem , the author Werner Speckmann writes about this problem listed as no. 150: “After 1. f8D? Qh1 2nd Ra8 + Bxa8 or 1st Ra8 +? Bxa8 2. f8D would be possible for 3. Qb8 # if the Re8 were behind White's queen. Therefore 1. Kh8! with the Loyd-Turton threat of 2. Rg8, after which there is a further threat of 3. Ra8 + 4. f8D and 3. f8D 4. Ra8 +. Black, for his part, defends himself with the Turton 1.… Bh1! (2. Rg8? Qg2!) With 2. f3 Bxf3 White forces the undoing of Black's Turton, and now after 3. Rg8 Black can only differentiate the above double threat: 3.… Qg2 4. f8D 5. Ra8 + or 3 .… Bh1 4th Ra8 + 5th f8D. Finding out the "common thread" in this combination certainly creates considerable difficulties. "
Timetable program
With the MOSAIK timetable program, he developed a program that was the first program to create a complete timetable on a small computer (Commodore 3032). He started developing such a program on mainframes as early as 1970. He also knew how to use the very limited storage space very effectively. For this purpose he invented his own programming language (Dendra). MOSAIK was supported for a long time by the Ministry of Culture and was not only used by the city of Munich , but also throughout Bavaria. It also spread more and more abroad, before it was supplanted by other programs with more modern user interfaces.
