Friedrich Chlubna (born April 15, 1946 in Mattighofen , † January 6, 2005 in Vienna ) was a well-known Austrian composer in chess .

Chess composition

Chlubna began composing chess problems at the age of 13. He was guided first by his father and later by the Austrian composer Josef Halumbirek . In total, he had around 530 tasks in the areas of orthodox multi-moveers, auxiliary and self-mate, and fairy tale chess . In the FIDE albums he got 58.5 points, ie Chlubna had been the FIDE International Master for Chess Composition since 1979 .

As early as 1971, FIDE had awarded him the title of International Chess Composition Judge . In 1980 he became editor of the "Problemschach" section of the Austrian magazine Schach-Aktiv . From 1983 to 1986 he also ran the problem section of the German chess sheets .

In 1994 his books Sunken Treasures ( ISBN 3-9500310-6-5 ), Dreiklang und Schach für Nutcrackers - An introduction to the world of the chess problem ( ISBN 3-9500310-0-6 ) were published. Another important publication is the book "The Matt of the White King", in which Chlubna introduces the self-matting genre.

After meeting John Roycroft in Turku in 1995 , Chlubna published Deceptive Simplicity for him in 1998 , in which he added copies of Mitrofanov's photographs to each edition . The book is considered a rarity today .
