Although Eichstädt composed only 78 chess problems, however, is considered one of the pioneers of modern chess problem since it after initial Mansuben written especially combination of ideas and problems. He is counted as a forerunner of the new German school . An example of this is the task in the diagram: The main plan 1. Bd4 + Kxd4 2. Re6 fails because the white knight blocks e4. After the first Sd3 + Kxe4 second Nc5 + KE5 the jumper is removed, and after the third Ld4 + Kxd4 4. Te6 is Matt inevitable by 5. Te4.
