Valerian Onitiu (also Valeriu Onitiu) (April 8, 1872, Sibiu, Romania – 31 December 1948, Timişoara)[1] was a Romanian chess problemist.
Onitiu composed all types of problems particularly fairy chess problems. Onitiu has ten chess problems in FIDE Albums.

[edit] Problem
The solution of this problem is: 1.Gh3 Gh4 2.Gh5 Gh6 3.Gh7 Gh8 4.Ge7 Gd7 5.Gc7 Gb7 6.Ga7+ Ga6 7.Ga5+ Ga4 8.Ga3#
This problem is a case of incidence of thematic tourney prescript problems with grasshoppers without limiting the number of the moves. Identical problems were sent independently by four composers at about the same time. [2]
