Old title pictures

For a long time the main CCM page was showing rotating knight. But as I got a camera and I take photos almost everything, it seemed to me good idea to change starting picture. Moreover, friends time to time send me pictures of their own, some of them showing chess composers or generally composition related events. It runs well for at least 2 years. (Written 4.10.2004)

All older pictures are now shown here.

Lubomir Siran and Vasyl Dyachuk really enjoyed the ship trip of Chalkidiki 2004 congress, they felt like in a cradle, lulled asleep by sea waves... silence, please! (Added 4.10.2004)
Your webmaster during seaside holidays. He did not do much composing in summer, but he has resumed chess activities on a large scale from October. (Added 25.12.2006)

Recent meeting with Czech composers launched another match in friendly atmosphere. Some participants enjoyed walk in the hills, Juraj Brabec has taken a picture of following people (from left): Ladislav Salai sr., Emil Klemanic, Ladislav Salai jr., Juraj Lörinc, Ivan Skoba, Michal Dragoun.

Although I was participating in European solving championship in Legnica, pictures taken by me there are not good. So just a few of them - here the vicechampion Piotr Murdzia phones somewhere the results. (Added 10.7.2005)

Last weekend we had a meeting of composers in the Eastern Slovakia mountains, nearby village Smizany. Besides your webmaster (behind camera) there were present standing from left: Ludovit Lehen, Milos Seckar, Jan Kovalic, Zoltan Labai, Bedrich Formanek, Jan Kozinka, Ludovit Lacny, Emil Klemanic, Marian Krizovensky, Juraj Brabec, Ladislav Salai jr., Ladislav Salai sr. - and ducking from left: Ladislav Radi, Pavol Jankovic, Imrich Bandzuch, Peter Gvozdjak, Jan Golha, Miroslav Kasar, Jozef Havran, Marian Cervenka.

Well, guess what is on the picture... as you may know, I am currently judging fairy section of FIDE Album 1998-2000. I have gone through all of problems (more than 1150) for the first time and I have rearranged them to 26 groups of genres or theme families. The first group is dedicated to Cyclone, the 4th to #2 with transmuting kings, etc. Quite funny task despite huge of amount of work... (Added 31.7.2004)

Peter Gvozdják visited Paris a few days ago. He met some French composers and got this photo especially for CCM! From left: Jacques Rotenberg, Peter Gvozdják, Jean-Marc Loustau, Michel Caillaud. (Added 19.12.2003)

Laurent Riguet judged Phénix Tanagras 1999 and doing that he had to analyse a two-king s#32 by JL. Hopefully he didn't get the headache! :-) (Added 6.6.2003)

Unusual situation appeared on the last BKKS (Bratislava chess composition circle). Bedrich Formanek was not present in the moment as he had to leave sooner. A few people then analysed "prohibited" over-the-board chess games. From left: Peter Gvozdják only looked at it, but Marek Kolcak, Daniel Novomesky and Lubo Siran were deeply involved in this illegal activity. :-)
