Biography

In 1969 in Königsfeld im Schwarzwald Manfred Christoph won West Germany Chess Championship.[1] It is curious that initially Christoph was not supposed to play in this championship. He was a reserve participant and received a place in the tournament two days before it began after the refusal of one of the main participants. At the start of the tournament, Christoph scored 7 points out of 8, and after a draw in the 9th round, he had 2 more wins. He secured the title of champion 3 rounds before the end of the competition.

With West German Chess Team Manfred Christoph participated in European Team Chess Championship in 1973,[2] in Clare Benedict Cups in 1970 where West Germany team won bronze,[3] in Nordic Cup Chess Team Tournaments (1970, 1973, 1975), where West Germany team won tournament in 1970 and 1975,[4] and a number of international matches.
