August Alexander Johann von Cywinski de Puchala (* 16.7.1829 in Vienna, † 1.1.1905 in Napajedla) Austrian composer. "August von Cywinski de Puchala composed direct mates. Ralf Krätschmer quotes Kohtz & Kockelkorn, who wrote in their book "Das indische Problem" in 1903: "Wir halten ihn für einen der größten Schachstrategen" [We consider him as one of the greatest chess strategist] while Walther von Holzhausen thought he was the most significant foreplan master of the early period ("als den bedeutendsten Vorplan-Meister der Frühzeit"). Ralf Krätschmer provides more details on his site berlinthema.de."
