Only a few biographical details are known about Meyer.                                                                                                      Chess composing
Meyer's small tasks are part of the important body of composition literature; he presented several composition topics such as Bristol and Indian in an extremely economical way.

In his chess work published in 1882, Meyer introduced the so-called universal notation as a proposal for a worldwide notation standard, which, however, did not prevail. The chess pieces would be named with the letters from K to P.[2]
