[Retros] Henrik Juel

[Steffen Slumstrup Nielsen]

Dear Thomas,

Thank you for your mail and blog-post. Henrik was an extremely friendly
man, always smiling, helpful and unassuming about his great skills. His
lectures at Dansk Skakproblem Klub about retros were legendary. He
would always bring a number of positions to, but we typically only got
around to solving (ok, failing to solve) one or two of them...

He also won the Danish solving championship on numerous occasions leaving
the rest of us to fight for second place.

Best wishes,
Steffen
