Well, with REDDMANN you can't play Fischer Random, but we had a
German chess material supplier named RATTMANN. :-)

Yeah, RATTMANN could be QRBBKRSS or QRSSKRBB.
Better if the name locks down the bishops too (remove any ambiguity).

Observed that too. STATMANN is a German surname (I googled).
Which gives the next question: Which patterns are Fischer-unique?
(It's NOT trivial that the Q singleton must be on the border -
ABACDCED, while not unique, fixes K and Q.)

Note that Bogoljubov does not quite work for Fischer Random in Capablanca Chess (which is actually a little surprising). :)

All German examples show a word composed of two four-letter words.
Such Dünnbrettbohrerei should be banned.

According to the Wikipedia page about the scrabble scores in different languages, the russian word "ДИФОСФИД" (diphosphide) scores 28 points in scrabble thanks to the two "Ф"s(10).
Of the more common words there is the "КИНОШНИК" (colloquial for "filmmaker"), Guy Ritchie is a kinošnik.

@Dmitri,

Does "filmmaker" refer to the director, producer, or anyone associated with the making of a film?

Google translates to "Cinematographer" (so, the person who oversees or directs photography and camerawork in movie-making -- well, the director oversees everything, so yeah, that would apply to Guy Ritchie).

@Kevin
To any person involved except the actors (directors, agents, sound engeneers, casting team, costume makers, etc).

OK. Thanks Dmitri.
I'll trust you over google's translator. :)

Maybe I write a SF riddle for CSE, where I am abducted by aliens who test
the IQ of mankind and force me to find the check-key :-)))
