Johannes Jacob Burbach (05-11-1921 - 15-11-2003) Dutch composer and FIDE Master

| Hans Burbach |
In 2007 Gerard Bouma wrote a portrait of and homage to Johannes Jacob Burbach "Hans Burbach Schaakproblemist" from which the following can be quoted:
"But perhaps his greatest love was - almost to the last - the world of chess problems. In chess one can best recognize diverse facets of Hans's versatility: his originality, his sense of humor, his sometimes bizarre fantasy, his inventiveness, for instance the discovery of Exclusive Chess."Hans Burbach composed 1315 problems, which he meticulously registered and from which some were selected in the above article. He was also the editor of the magazine "Schaakmat" (1951-1954) and an International Judge.
He derived some pride in having invented the fairy condition Exclusive Chess, whose definition is the following:
"The moves allowing to reach the aim are illegal if they are not unique." For instance in a #2, a mate is illegal if there are at least two ways of giving mate.
For a striking example of Exclusive Chess, please refer to this twomover by Yves Cheylan.
