Josef Plachutta

Josef Plachutta (13-05-1827 - 22-07-1883) Austrian-Slovenian chess composer

Josef Plachutta was a specialist of moremovers and selfmates. He participated to all the first composition tourneys of the end of the 19th century and left his name to a moremover theme 

A white piece sacrifices itself on a square where it could be captured by one of two similarly-moving black pieces (for example, a bishop and a queen moving along a diagonal, or two rooks) moving along a different line; whichever black piece captures, it interferes with the other.

Plachutta's first realization of the theme is quoted on Wikipedia.
