Grandmaster since 1980 and International Judge (for several categories: direct mates, selfmates, helpmates and fairy problems!) since 1979, György Bakcsi composed often humorous and pleasant problems. He also intensively collaborated with László Zoltán and they wrote an interesting collection of their works, "A FURCSA PÁR" (The Odd Couple). His problems are particularly admired by Chris Feather.
He was the editor of the chess composition column of Sakkélet from 1976 until 1985 and also wrote many books about chess problems, among which we may quote "Gondolat es Strategie" (1970) and "En passant felugyelo visszater" (1985).
