At the age of 23, at that time still living in Feodosiya , Sinar took part for the first time - less than twelve months after the publication of Bondarenko's book Etjud v peschechnom okonchanii - in a composition tournament of the magazine Shachmaty w SSSR . His study showed a pawn ending with the solution 1. Kd2 – c2 Ke7 – f7! 2. Kc2 – b2! Kf7 – g6 3. Kb2 – a3 !! Kg6 – f6 4. Ka3 – b3 Kf6 – f5 5. Kb3 – b4 Kf5 – f4 6. Kb4 – b5 Kf4 – e3 7. Kb5 – c4 Ke3 – f3 8. Kc4xd4 Kf3 – f4 9. Kd4 – c3! Kf4 – e3 10. Kc3 – c4 Ke3 – e2 11. Kc4 – b5 and White wins. So far he has composed more than 250 studies. Although, with a few exceptions, he only composed pawn endings, he won several awards with it. He often composed studies with sub-metamorphoses and did pioneering work there. He also dealt with the Réti maneuver .
Although he was only a candidate for champions on the board , he wrote a chapter in Yuri Awerbach's book on pawn endings devoted to the systems of opposing fields. In his foreword to the Russian edition, Awerbach wrote: "Otherwise this chapter would look outdated." In 1986, Sinar was awarded the title of Master of Sports of the USSR .
In 1990, Sinar stopped publishing chess compositions. In 1996, Sergei Tkachenko visited Sinar in his then home town of Hwosdawka Perscha , as Tkachenko learned in a conversation with Anatoly Georgievich Kuznetsov , and found out that Sinar, who worked as a teacher, lived with his family on the subsistence level and therefore did not have the means. Due to political friction in Odessa, which led to the withdrawal of a financier, Tkachenko had to stop a project that had started after the visit, through which Sinar, among other things, should have received financial support. In 2000, Sinar published a study for the last time. With the sudden death of Kuznetsov in 2000, efforts to get Kuznetsov and Sinar to work together failed. A short time later there was a rumor that Sinar had also died.
In 2007, Tkachenko began researching Sinar for an article. He called Hwosdawka Perscha, whereupon he was told that Sinar was alive, healthy and working in the school. In the meantime, Sinar has actively returned to chess composition. He was also a judge in a pawn endgame study tournament.
