After nearly half a century of enjoying the beauty of endgame studies and problems, and reproducing many of them in my chess publications, I felt it was time to do something in return: to organize and sponsor a composing tourney - if only because I would like to spend my 60th birthday, 13 April 2003, admiring some fine studies and problems that might otherwise not have been there.
Composers are invited to submit orginal compositions in two sections:
1) Endgame Studies 2) Problems - direct-mate moremovers
Prizes in both sections will be 400,200,100, 2x50 and 2x25 Euro.
