A triple Nowotny in an attractive form.
Extraordinary inventiveness and high compositional technique allowed him to present complicated and original ideas in an artistically appealing form. Among the two-moveers he was interested in tasks, his theoretical work contributed to the further development of the two-move topic. The three-move was his main field of activity. Here his interests were broad. In addition to logical and strategic topics, he made a significant contribution to the black intersection topic (Nowotny, Plachutta , Grimshaw and others). He composed multi-trainees less often. Here he showed that the most difficult accusations can be realized under consideration of aesthetic norms. Loschinski set out new criteria for depth and strict logic and combined them with perfect construction. He elaborated a number of new subjects and revived others.
As early as 1956 Loschinski was appointed International Referee for Chess Composition . In 1962 he became an Honored Master of Sports of the USSR. 174 of his assignments made it into the FIDE albums. In 1972 he was one of the first four people to receive the title of Grand Master of Chess Composition .
