Purpose of this blog

The blog mission is to praise all creators of beauty under the form of chess problems and awake the interest and curiosity for chess composition amongst chess players.

More popularization cannot harm, especially since almost all columns dedicated to chess problems and endgames have disappeared from chess magazines.

For this blog we owe special thanks to:

21 comments:

  9. Datele despre persoana Dan Gurgui nu mai figureaza pe site.

    Referatul concursului informal ajutoare e4 e5 2008 a devenit final 3 luni dupa publicare (martie 2010) si reclamatiile trebuiau facute in aceasta perioada de 3 luni. Rejurizarea concursului contravine Codexului compozitiei sahiste, articol 5 "The Award". http://www.wfcc.ch/1999-2012/codex/
    Celelalte insinuari nu merita nici un comentariu.

  11. I also want to thank the authors for including my late father Lamboo, Cornelis Henricus (although it is Hendricus ... with a 'd') who has never known the internet, but is now able to extend his (chess) life a bit on it :)
