    I learn something new all of the time!! My nick however comes from
    Adolf Schliemann...a German Lawyer and chess player who embraced
    the Jaenisch gambit which is now refered to as The Schliemann
    defense.

    Pretty cool that I was one of the questions...well sort of..hehehe

    Unfortunately Heinrich Schliemann is not one of the most popular of
    archaeologists/looters. He financed his excavations by selling all the
    artefacts to German collectors, and they all went 'missing' during the
    second world war. Anyway I'll stop ranting and congratulate you for
    getting it right

    They are either in Russian hands, Swiss bank vaults, or in the hands
    of private (and illegal) western collectors. The allies also plundered
    Nazi gold, but people don't like to talk about that!

    Donadoni was a fantastic player, playing for probably the best club
    side the world has ever seen (definitely during my lifetime) - Baresi,
    Lentini, Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, a young maldini - the list is
    endless
