Viktor Kapusta was a renowned moremover composer. Let's quote Andriy Frolkin about Kapusta:
He was a member of the Ukrainian team that won WCCT-5 in the mid-1990s. He composed problems of all genres and some endgame studies, too. His main focus was on #3s.
He also invented a new fairy type, probably the most complicated one ever proposed; he called it Regent Chess. An article on Regent Chess was published a few years ago in Problemas (in English) and in The Problemist of Ukraine ((in Ukrainian).
