Ferenc Herpai (08-08-1910 - 16-11-1994) Hungarian composer

Ferenc Herpai
[magyarsakkszerzok]
 
Ferenc Herpai was a twomover specialist.
He lent his name to a twomover theme:
Two dual avoidance variations close the two same black lines. One of the mates uses one of the closings, and the other mate the second closing.
A brillliant example by H.Ahues can be found here and an example by Herpai himself here.
He also composed helpmates.
