Grandmasters of The Chess Compositions - Problem Chess

Problem Chess

See List of grandmasters for chess composition.

Just as in over-the-board play, in problem chess the titles International Grandmaster, International Master and FIDE Master are awarded by FIDE via the PCCC (Permanent Commission for Chess Composition) for especially distinguished problem and study composers and solvers (unlike over-the-board chess, however, there are no women-only equivalents to these titles in problem chess).

Famous quotes containing the words problem and/or chess:

    “If a problem is insoluble, it is Necessity. Leave it alone.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The sailor is frankness, the landsman is finesse. Life is not a game with the sailor, demanding the long head—no intricate game of chess where few moves are made in straight-forwardness and ends are attained by indirection, an oblique, tedious, barren game hardly worth that poor candle burnt out in playing it.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
