Life

Lobusov's parents work as teachers and were at school until evening. So he was left to himself and learned to read relatively early. As a five-year-old he came across a chess textbook. In addition to the practical game, some chess exercises were taught there. There were no opponents, but they are not necessary for chess composition. Seriously, Lobusov came up with the chess composition through the book by Yevgeny Umnow Kak reschat schachmatnyje sadatschi? in touch. After reading it, he told himself I can do that too.

In 1968 he finished middle school, in 1974 he studied at the Plekhanov Institute for Economics in Moscow. He was a merchandise expert by profession . He died after a long illness.
