International
In November 1979 he won the flyweight police championships in Sofia .

Due to the boycott of numerous socialist countries at the Olympic Games in the USA in 1984 , Kirchstein was denied participation in the Olympics. Instead, alternative Olympiads ("Friendhips Tournament") were held in Cuba , in which Kirchstein won a bronze medal after a semi-final defeat against the Cuban Ramon Ledon . However, he later defeated Ledon at the Chemistry Cup in Halle.
In 1985 he still took part in the European Championships in Budapest , where he won against John Davison from England, but lost in the quarterfinals to Ljubiša Simić from Yugoslavia and thus reached fifth place.
He also won the Złoty Żubr tournament in Poland in 1978, the 6th Tammer tournament in Finland in 1983 and the 17th Grand Prix tournament in 1986 in the Czech Republic. In the latter, he also beat the Cuban world champion from 1989, Enrique Carrión , in the semifinals . In international fights he beat the American Robert Shannon twice in 1983 and the English Sean Murphy in 1985 .
