Zeno Proca

Zeno Proca (1906 - 15.02.1936) Chess composer of chess problems

The Romanian chess composer Zeno Proca would have been 100 years old this year (1906 - 15 February 1936). Little is known about him, who died when he was barely 30 years old. His name lives on in the type of defensive backbone named after him, a retro idea developed independently by Hoeg and Proca in the 1920s, which is mostly used today as the Proca type.
