Timeline

1908

Vitaly Alexandrovich Chekhover (also spelled Tschechower or Czechower, pronounced "chekh a VYAIR") (Вита́лий Алекса́ндрович Чехове́р) (December 22, 1908 – February 11, 1965) was a Soviet chess player and chess composer.

He was also a pianist.

In the beginning of his career as an endgame study composer, Chekhover often revised traditional studies of other authors.

He strove to bring them into a more sparse and economical form, often with fewer pieces – hence focusing on the actual problem itself, rather than the position on the board.

Later he found his own style and composed a number of original, independent chess studies and problems.

1936

Starting 1936, Chekhover published more than 160 endgame studies.

He is considered a prominent specialist on knight endgames, and has written several books on the subject; either alone, or with coauthors such as Russian grandmaster Yuri Averbakh.

Tournament victories include victory in the Leningrad City Chess Championship in 1937 (shared) and 1949.

d4 cxd4 4.

Qxd4 (see Sicilian Defence, Chekhover Variation).
