EP 298- Adult Improver Hans Henning on Why he Loves Studying Openings, and How Chess Helps Give Him Purpose

Geboren in der Heimat der ElektroWirtschaft, ist Dr. Hans Henning seit 2003 der VEG-Hauptgeschäftsführer in Bonn. Mit seinem beruflichen Werdegang kann er auf eine langjährige Verbandsarbeit zurückblicken. Wir wollen wissen, mit welchem Gefühl er auf die Entwicklung des Verbandes blickt, wie sieht die Zukunft aus? Hat die Verbandsarbeit Spuren hinterlassen und seine Arbeit oder die Art, Dinge anzugehen, verändert?
