Chess composition

Goldschmeding published his first problem at the age of 12. His oeuvre comprises around 700 chess problems, the majority of which are two-move problems. However, Goldschmeding was also very successful with three-movers and occasionally with multiple-movers, auxiliary mates and fairytale chess problems. In 1958 he was appointed international adjudicator for chess composition. He had been Grand Master of Chess Composition since 1988.                                                               Source: wikipedia.de
