Oscar Jorge Carlsson (Argentina, 23.4.1924 - 28.6. 2011)   

  Chess composer and composer of chess studies

Life:

He was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, in 1924, and at the age of eighteen he settled in Buenos Aires, where he graduated and developed his profession as an industrial engineer.

Chess composing:

He devoted himself to chess composition with success from 1954.

"He worked in collaboration with José Mugnos for twelve years, creating more than fifty chess studies, many of which were awarded prizes. At first his themes were of the "combinative" type, but later he also devoted himself to positional ones, with a preference for miniatures.

His chess studies are at once subtle and sparkling; of surprising and sometimes paradoxical moves, with frequent "counter-meanings" that seem to mock reality. All this is sustained by his enormous will to work, which prevents him from abandoning an idea or discarding a position as long as he has any hope left". (Z. Caputto)

Carlsson has written articles in specialist journals and has a valuable collection of books of studies on the subject of composition. He has earned the personal esteem of his colleagues, because no one has so generously dedicated his works to so many people and institutions, who have become worthy of such affectionate remembrance.

In collaboration with José Mugnos he has published some 45 studies, thirty of these works belong to Mugnos' book "Finales Artísticos Razonados" (1976), almost all of which were then unpublished. He also produced studies in co-production with Argentinean composers Luis Parenti, Zoilo Caputto, José Copie, among others.

In 2010 a book was published containing a selection of his studies analysed and commented by José Copie.

He has participated in several international competitions, obtaining prizes and distinctions. In addition, several of his unpublished studies were published in the Argentinean magazine Finales y Temas... and in others abroad.

He has been judge of international competitions and member of the Union de Problemistas Arnoldo Ellerman- Salta-Argentina.
