Chess Composers: 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:

The Chess Problem Database Server
Dmitri Turevski and his Yet Another Chess Problem DataBase
Mihail Croitor and his Chess Endgame Study Database
Alain Pallier for his advice regarding chess studies
Composers Names in Various Alphabets
Jan Golha's photo album of Chess Composers and all volunteers who contributed with information
Echesspedia.com (dead link)
Александр Никитин (Aleksandr Nikitin) for his impressive work and for kindly providing photos of composers taken by himself, or copied from Problem and other oldish magazines, or covers of chess problem books.
and all the other chess composers who have provided all kinds of links and materials.

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.

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 :)

Hello my name is Jürgen Tschöpe. I would like to ask her to remove the image of my person on her page http://chesscomposers.blogspot.de/2012/03/march-11th.html. This picture is private. I am also not a chess player.
Best regards
Jürgen Tschöpe

Quite thrilled (and feel humble) to see two 0f my problems pubished!
So was I happy to see some of my fellow problemists from India works , viz Shankar Ram and CGS narayanan!
Will you be publishing another great Indian problemist, M. Parthasarathy who died recently?
With regards,
Gani Ganapathi
