Chess Competitor: Magnus Holger Karstensen
Age: 17
Nationality: Danish
Short Bio: The Grand Royal Chess Fastigium raised Karstensen to heights. Taught in an occluded background due to the religious beliefs of his parents, the young Magnus, still a minor, learned chess in his spare time under an intensive intellectual drum including of seven languages (aside from the native tongue) - Eiffelander Teuton, Aenglish, Galloise, High Fennish, Classical and Modern Tiburan, Oselian, and Yujiner alongside dialects, and studies in history and chemistry and others beside. Fiercely intelligent, beyond his years, precocious, an accomplished and irredoubtable dead-set chess master, regarded by some as a young upstart but marvelled at by those in the game for years, Karstensen has managed to demonstrate his majestic command of the skills of victorious in chess that have, apparently, caused a mix of hubristic anger at defeat (including a dramatic walking-out of one player in a contest) and also elevated patronage from elder players wanting to both encourage this nascent star of the board and urge their own accomplished guile upon him, not that he seems to need it.

Chess Competitor: Gulbrand Ingvar Stefansen
Age: 32
Nationality: Danish
Short Bio: A working-class operator of drills, this man has depths that go beyond the usual stereotypes. A life of graft, sweat, toil and swear words, interviews with local newspapers show that Stefansen can swear as much as the next man, and indulge in thoroughly sexist talk and actions, but that he has a honed brain betraying the misconceptions of stereotyped heritage. He won the 1950 Danish Grand Fastigium of Chess in Aabenraa province and was not beaten until his meeting with Magnus Holger Karstensen in a national round held in Fredrikshavn. Holding out his muscular, work-shod and dry-skinned hand, he congratulated the young stripling in a taught grip but, according to interviews, was resolutely resolved in trying to defeat him. A national seconder, but latent cultural hero, Stefansen is entered into the hallowed chambers of chess and is a latent notable.
