12/23/2010 – This year two famous study composers would have celebrated their centenaries:
Mark Savelevich Liburkin (1910-1953) from Moscow and Shaya Kozlowski (1910-1943)
from Łodz, (Poland). Both died prematurely – Kozlowsky
in Łodz in the WWII holocaust. Now the endgame association ARVES
has announced centenary theme tourneys in their memory. Yochanan Afek provides details.

Liburkin, Kozłowski memorial composing tourneys
Endgame and problem specialist Yochanan Afek
Before we come to the theme tournament I would like to acquaint ChessBase readers
who may have enjoyed the funny
slalom from the game L'Ami-van Wely published on this newspage with the
following endgame study, which shows once again the tight linkage between chess
composition and the realm of over the board chess.
Otto Gallischek, Weser Kurier 1960 Black to play, White wins
You may want to try to work out the mechanics of the win yourself, but using
a chess engine makes it pointless: Deep Fritz 12, for instance, solves it with
a mate-in-18 announcement in just a few seconds. You just have to press the
Space key up to move nine, when Fritz deviates from the beautifully elegant
classical solution to prolong the mate by one move. For those of you who do
not have Fritz handy click
here to replay the solutionon our JavaScript board.
On to the composition tournaments. Two well-known composers Genrikh Kasparian
and Tigran Gorgiev have already been honored; now ARVES,
the Dutch-Belgian association promoting the art of endgame studies, and its
international quarterly EG for endgame studies have announced two centenary
theme composing tourneys in memory of two others: Mark Savelevich Liburkin (1910-1953)
from Moscow and Shaya Kozlowski (1910-1943) from Łodz, (Poland). Both died
prematurely – Kozlowsky was killed in Łodz in the holocaust.
