- 6 - Dr. Eisenbeiss handed Robert Rollans a list of dozens of deceased eminent grandmasters of chess with the plea and the assignment, to find out through his otherworldly connection, whether one of them could be found that was willing to play a chess game by correspondence with a grandmaster of chess here on Earth? Rollans otherworldly spirit guides managed to locate the Hungarian grandmaster of chess Géza Mároczy who died in 1951 and he was prepared to play such a game. On the 15th of June 1985, Rollans psychically wrote on behalf of his otherworldly friends: “Dear friend! We are already waiting for you to begin. We finally managed to bring Géza Mároczy with us. Because we are just beginning, there are two of us involved. We will mediate. But he will initially try to personally write with your hand. And here he is…” The following was written in German: “I am Mároczy Géza. I greet you.” (See below) Eisenbeiss managed to convince the Russian grandmaster of chess Viktor Kortschnoi to become the terrestrial opponent of the otherworldly chess player. He had lived in Switzerland for some time. He had been a challenger of the Russian Karpow at the World Chess Championship twice (1978 and 1981). The latter was however the winner of these World Championships. The chess game by correspondence between Mároczy and Kortschnoi began in 1985. It ran as follows, a small plug-in chess board was always set up in the flat of the medium Rollans showing the current state of the game. The otherworldly Géza Mároczy orientated himself by this chessboard, considered his next move, and informed the medium through writing with his hand. The latter redirected the message to Dr. Eisenbeiss in St. Gallen who in turn informed Viktor Kortschnoi. Kortschnoi now informed Eisenbeiss about his next move who directed his message back to Rollans. The latter then physically carried out the move on the small chessboard and this allowed the spirit of Mároczy to plan his next move and the whole thing started over again. As Kortschnoi and Rollans were still very busy professionally, carrying out one move often took weeks or months. Rollans and Kortschnoi didn’t know one another, had never seen one another and didn’t have a direct connection to one another. Dr. Eisenbeiss delineated the process as follows (4, P. 21): “As a parapsychologist in the specific field of research into life after death, I have been toying with the idea of arranging a chess game between a living and a deceased grandmaster of chess. It is due to the motivation of the Swiss dentist from Uri, Dr. Waldhorn that I finally tried to put the experiment into practice. It was and is my determination to verify the survival of death on hand of Psychic writing through the hand of R. Rollans at the start of the game of chess with the otherworldly Mároczy Géza on the 15th of June 1985.
