Cyril Kipping was an International Judge. He composes more than 7,000 problems, most of which were threemovers (he sometimes used the pseudonyms C. Stanley, S. Henry and S. Mere). He collaborated with the most important magazines of the 20th century: "Chess Amateur", "Chess", "The Problemist" (whose editor he was during 32 years) and also wrote many books: "300 Chess Problems" (1916), "Selected Gems" (1922) and "The Chessmen Speak" in the White Christmas series (1932), which included 147 threemovers and can be read and downloaded from here.
More details about his life as a headmaster of a high school can be read here or especially here [broken link], with staff and pupils memories of C.S.Kipping, which our British readers might discover with interest.
One of his best known threemovers is the miniature:
