Ernest Pogosyants
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ernest Levonovich Pogosyants[1] (June 5, 1935, Chuhuiv – August 16, 1990) was an Ukrainian prolific composer of chess problems and endgame studies. He may have composed almost as many chess puzzles as the 6,500 created by T. R. Dawson.[2]
Harold van der Heijden included 1,727 studies by Pogosyants in his endgame study database. This represented the largest number of studies by any one composer. Henri Rinck, Alexey Troitsky, and Ladislav Prokes were the only other composers with more than 1,000 endgame studies.[3]
