Pierre Drumare
Pierre Drumare (born October 26, 1913 , † April 15, 2001 in Paris ) was a French chess composer .
composition
When Drumare became interested in chess composition in the early 1950s, he began to attend the Cercle Caïssa near the Place de l'Etoile in April 1952 . Camil Seneca, who introduced numerous young people to composition, was the initiator of these meetings. A few days after his visit, Drumare published his first problem in the Combat newspaper .
From 1956 onwards, Drumare composed regularly, especially two-moveers and multi-moveers. He was also interested in self-matte long -haulers (self-matte tasks in which black always has to make the geometrically longest move). However, he declined fairy tale chess, especially the tasks with fairy tale characters .
Together with 17 other people he founded the society "Les Amis du Problème d'Echecs" and their magazine "Thèmes-64". From 1982 to 1986 he was president of the company.
Since he had problems implementing his ideas, only 65 tasks appeared from him. Ten of them went into FIDE albums .
Drumare was particularly enthusiastic about tasks. From 1960 to 1982 he said he worked on the Babson task for up to four hours a day without actually realizing it. In his article "Mon dernier pas vers l'impossible" in Thèmes-64 1982, Drumare described how he failed and that he now has the certainty that the quadruple echo conversion can never be represented in an orthodox problem.
After the hitherto unknown football coach Leonid Jarosch realized the Babson task in 1983, Drumare also succeeded in performing the task.
