Vladimir Akimovich Bron
Wladimir Akimowitsch Bron (born September 14, 1909 in Nikolajew , Russian Empire , today Mykolaiv, Ukraine ; † October 1, 1985 in Sverdlovsk ; Russian : Владимир Акимович Брон ) was a Russian chess composer .
Bron learned to play chess at the age of eleven. But it was not until 1920, after moving to Kharkov, that he began to systematically study chess literature in the city's chess club, which was headed by Alexej Alexandrowitsch Alekhine, Alexander Alekhine 's brother . From 1928 to 1946 he met a number of Soviet masters on the chessboard. However, he felt more drawn to chess composition, especially to studies.
composition
In 1924 Bron published his first assignment, two years later two of his studies won first awards. His meeting with Leonid Kubbel in 1930 and 1931 and his friendship with Korolkow from 1927 onwards provided significant impetus .
Bron was international referee for chess composition from 1956 and Grandmaster for chess composition since 1976 . He composed about 400 studies as well as more than 600 other chess compositions. Of the 440 or so awards he received, there were 80 prizes.
In three and multi-generators, Bron preferred Mustermatts, where he worked out unnoticed closure that took place with the help of the black king. His favorite genre, however, were the studies in which he tried to incorporate fully-fledged play, subtle motivation of the moves, originality and depth of thought on both sides. He worked out the themes of the far apart pawns, successive synthesis, perpetual chess threat and opposing fields of kings.
