I doubt that it is true but it would be interesting if it is.
I wrote these questions myself and have never seen his chess trivia
game, so it would have to be a coincidence.
I have been thinking of putting Hanke into my chess quiz as follows:
Hanke is:
1. The son of a Nazi War Criminal who escaped to Paraguay
2. The man who ran for USCF Executive Board so that he could force the
USCF to sell his chess trivia game.
3. A great place to blow your nose
4. A person who wants to expel scholastic chess players from the USCF
5. The Dirty Vicar

| Here's a more genuine chess quiz question (sorry to put a wet blanket on
your attempts at humor, Sam):
Is there such a thing as a SYMMETRIC position in which, no matter whose move
it is, the player on the move loses, with best play by his opponent?
SYMMETRIC means that, for example, if white has a knight on e3, then black
has a knight on e6.

What does the Orangutan have to do with this?? ;-)
P.S. To make the question more precise, it should have read "... famous
players in *at least one game* of chess.
