Frederik Hendrik von Meijenfeldt (14-07-1922 - 02-05-2002) Dutch composer
Frederik Hendrik von Meyenfeldt [Meijenfeldt] composed direct mates but mostly fairy problems. He was the inventor of the fairy condition "Patrol chess".
Patrol Chess definition (from Chessvariants.org) :
In order to capture or give check, a piece (including kings) must be `observed' by another piece of the same player.On Juraj Lörinc's website you can find many examples of Patrol Chess problems.
Observing means that the piece can move to the square - for pawns, the diagonal capture movement is used; i.e., it is the usual guarding of pieces as in use of common chess.
Semi-Reflex : "Self" stipulation with the obligation for Black to reach the aim if he can.

He recently had some notable successes, such as the 3rd Prize in the Olympic tourney of Khanty-Mansiysk or the 1st Prize in the 7th TT Quartz 2010 (Take&Make). He obtained the FM title in 2013.
The Dupont theme is a combination of 3 promotions to same unit : 1 Schnoebelen +1 "standard" Ceriani-Frolkin + 1 Pronkin. The first achievement of this theme with the Queen as thematic piece was Nicolas Dupont's first prize in the Christmas tourney organized on France-Echecs in 2009 (award in January 2010), which can be seen on PDB.
